Chapter: Snow day
"I know you guys are going back tomorrow but do I have to go?" Harry asked quietly as I talked to the weeping Ginny.
"No, if you want to stay its cool. Mum will understand."
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you yesterday at the hospital wing."
"It's alright mate. Don't think you would have much fun anyway."
Harry watched me.
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yeah I do."
"To be honest, I never thought you guys would ever get together."
I looked over at Harry and smiled. He smiled back.
"I didn't think so either. But I am glad I was wrong.

"You know what? I think I have a crush on Draco."
My heart skipped a beat. "Draco…no, don't get involved with Draco."
"Oh come on Hermione. Just because things didn't work out between you and Draco doesn't mean things will be the same for me."
"He didn't like me, I didn't like him. He was playing a joke on me or something. But he works with Voldermort, I know he does."
"You're crazy. Draco is not a death eater."
"He led me to Voldermort, Harry too."
Ginny tossed her hair off her shoulder. "I don't think he is one anyway."
"I am just trying to help Gin." I directed my eyes out the snow filled window.
Ginny moved some hair behind her ear.
"I bet I can tell you a million times what happened to me and you still would not believe me."
"I believe you when you say how your relationship went sour, but I don't believe he works with He-who-must-not-be-named."
"His father does, why wouldn't he?"
Ginny looked at the floor.
I looked at Harry who was in a deep conversation with Ron. I smiled and he smiled back.
"You and Harry have such a great relationship."
"We have only been going out for a few days."
"Still, I wish I had a relationship like that."
I blushed.
Lavender and Neville walked in through the portrait hall. Neville saw Harry and Ron and approached them. "No classes today. They cancelled classes!"
"Really?" Ron's mouth curled into a smile.
Neville nodded. "They just announced it."
"Cool." Ron looked over at me. "No classes."
"I heard." I pulled out my book and opened it to the marked page.
"Oh come on Hermione, we have a day off and you are going to read?"
"MmmHm." I raised the book higher.
"What else is there to do?" Harry walked over to the window. "It is snowing really hard, we have to find something to do inside."
Ron pulled out his chess set. "You know what that means." He grinned.
"What, wizard chess again?" Harry groaned.
"Oh come on Harry, the only reason he likes playing it is because it is the only thing he can beat you at. Just feed his ego." I smirked.
Ron glared at me. "That is not true!"
Harry laughed.
"Shove it Harry."
Ginny and I began to laugh.

"Ok, I am bored now." I placed my book down.
Ron gasped. "Hermione, bored with a book?"
I laughed. "I know it's incredible."
Ginny rolled up the parchment she was working on. "Wanna have a snowball fight?"
"That sounds fun what do you guys think?" I turned to Harry.
"You really are bored Hermione." Harry smiled.
"If that's what you guys are up to then I am in." Ron moved his chess piece while Harry wasn't looking.
Ginny and I got to our feet and waited for Harry and Ron to follow.
I waved my wand and my jacket with my scarf and hat appeared on a neighboring chair. Ginny did the same.
"Aww come on Harry. Let's finish the game I was about to win."
"What was that you said about feeding Ron's ego, 'mione?" Ginny asked sweetly.
"All right, I get the point." He stood up and summoned his jacket and scarf also.
I slowly reached over and touched Harry's hand while Ron and Ginny were dressing.
He looked at me and I pulled my hand away.
He reached over and grabbed it.
I smiled.
"Ready." Ron declared.
"Took you long enough." Harry joked.
"Is it gang up on Ron day today?"
Ginny laughed. "Didn't you get the memo?"
"Obviously not!" Ron's ears grew red.
Harry and I joined in laughing.
"Let's go already."
I began to walk toward the portrait hole pulling Harry by his hand.

"Sorry Hermione but Harry is on my team." Ron blew on his hands to warm them.
"That's fine with me." I smirked at Harry.
"Should I get nervous?"
"Yes." Ginny raised her eyebrow.
"Snowball fight, huh. Can we join?"
Ron and Harry turned around to see Seamus, Luna, Neville and Lavender behind them.
"Sure, get on teams."
Ginny glared at Seamus, who had his arm around Luna's waist. "We take Neville and Lavender!"
"Fine with me." Neville answered as he walked toward their side of the playing field."
"This looks like fun." Lavender said to Neville as she walked next to him.
"Snowball fight, how childish." Luna added in a spacey tone.
"Come on babe this could be fun."
"Why do you insist on calling me babe and baby when I am not an infant?"
Seamus paused and thought about an answer.
"What does he see in her?" Ginny snarled in my ear.
"Wait, I thought you and Luna were friends?"
"We are, but if she is stealing Seamus then she isn't much of a friend is she?"
"It doesn't look like Luna enjoys being his girlfriend anyway."
Ginny watched Luna. "That maybe, but she is still going out with him."
"Are you still in love with him or something?"
"Yes…" Ginny blushed.
"Why, the relationship between you too is over. He wants to move on, why can't you?"
"Because I lost my virginity to him, I can't have the relationship end if we shared something like that."
"Lordy, don't tell Ron." I put a hand to my forehead.
"I won't if you won't."
"Do I look like I want to die?"
Ginny laughed.
I helped Neville and Lavender with our barrier wall as the first snowballs flew through the air.
"Hermione..?"
"Hmm?" I answered as I made a snowball.
"Thank you."
"No problem." I threw a snowball at Harry's face. "Score!" I then had one in my face. "You are going to die Harry!"
Ginny watched me and smiled. She then threw a handful of snow at Seamus. She laughed as he wiped it off the side of his face.

Queen of Harry Potter: Nice name. I love fluff too.
Lotrings08: Thanks for the review.
HPQUEEN: Another queen! Uhh…I dunno where they come from. When I write I have this picture in my head. Almost like a movie picture. Then I say what would I want to happen next or in the future and I write it down. It just comes to me. I see something and put it down. I guess that what I do. There is not really a place where I get these ideas from. I just make a brainstorm and that's where I write all my ideas down and organize them. That's it…nothing special. I love Harry and Hermione pairings so I will keep them together. Don't worry about it! Thanks for the review.
Someonewhocare: I am glad you care. I care. I think she is good too. Thanks for the review.
Thank you all for the reviews and the musical will be up shortly!
