A/N: Hello again everybody! Can I just say that I love all the reviews that all of you guys are sending me. There's not one I despise in the least. I have received eleven reviews. I am so proud of all of you. Keep up the good work and I will keep up my posting abilities of doing it every day.

Esrb99: I guess I do get right to the point, don't I? And it was a pretty short chapter. But you like that right? But just a warning, this chapter will be longer.

Insanity-if-the-owl: You're welcome. And what do you mean Hermione can't wait for the next. The next what? I don't even know what you mean by that. It might be my turn to be extremely blunt.

Flipgirl24: So you must be a gymnast. At least that's the impression I got when I first saw your name. I think that would be so cool if you really could do all of these flips. All I could do is a handstand, cartwheel, and a front handspring. But that's about all I could do.

Lady Pyrefly: You sent me two reviews. Which is even better. I just felt so bad about making you cry about all these sad chapters but I have to do it in order to make everything better. But just a little warning, I'm going to have more sad chapters and this chapter is pretty sad.

Polaris-fir-star: You must be a new reader, welcome. I'm glad you decided to click on this story. And I'm glad that you really like it. I try hard to make this a good story. Sometimes I write it on paper or others I just plain type it and then spell check it after words. But sometimes I even forget to spell check it. SO if there's any typos, I most likely had forgotten.

Orli-enthusiast: I can not get over how cute your little accent is. And all the adorable words that you use when you write me. Like the word "spiffing". I just think it's so cute.

AmyChris: I'm really glad that you're liking my story. Although I don't understand how you're stuck on chapter five when this is chapter seven. Maybe that's because you hadn't gotten to chapter six yet. I don't know. I'm just a confused little seventeen-year-old girl.

Goldenflower: Thanks! I think it's good I update as soon as possible too. I'm not one of those writers who like to keep their readers at a cliffhanger. Especially if they don't finish a story that they've already written and has not finished. You know what I mean?

Dragonslayer-85: Yeah, another knew reader! Like I almost always say to my new readers, welcome to my enchanting story. JK, I'm not really that conceded. Thanks for the review and I try my best to get my point across.

Cris: I'm really glad you decided to read this story. And that you think it's a good one. You are one of the most enthusiastic reviewers. And thank you for that.

Now let's get onto the long chapter ahead.

Chapter 7: Christmas yet to come

For the fourth time that night, the annoying clock chimed, again. Ron, of course, was already awake because he stayed awake wondering what the other ghost would be like. He shivered as one of those windowless gusts of wind blew threw the room.

Closing his eyes, he braced himself for what he knew would be the last spirit. The ghost of Christmas yet to come.

"Hi James!" Ron said without even opening his eyes to see who it would be. But he already had an idea of which ghost it would be.

"Obviously you've done this before." James replied taking his hand through the familiar swirling mist of colors. He hated going through that because it always made him dizzy.

Next thing Ron knew they were back at Hogwarts. A party was going on and everyone was dressed rather nicely.

From right beside Ron, James said, "this is a Christmas party several years in the future."

Ron was so shocked but had gotten over it quickly since he had just spotted Hermione. And she looked more radiant than ever. Her hair was no longer bushy, but looked rather healthy, it was in curls that bounced when she danced and it looked magnificent on her. However, she was dancing with—

"Krum?"

"Yeah! She's sort of dating him now. Although she still has eyes for you. Krum wants to be more than just friends with Hermione, but she won't do it, unless she gives you a chance first."

"But what if I blow it?" Ron asked apprehensively.

"Then she'll go for Krum, she doesn't want to. She'll do it even if she's not in love with him. And if she can't have you she'll marry him, have twelve kids, and still won't be happy. "

Ron immediately began to panic. I can't let that happen. Hermione's mine. He better keep his ugly paws off of her.

James bent down and whispered, "just watch!"

Turning his gaze back, Ron saw Hermione spot someone. She headed over there with delight. He watched as se went over to a very nice looking gentleman. This man had red wavy hair and freckles. He was built very muscular that caught the eye of almost every girl.

That's me? Thought Ron, But I'm not this hideous little kid anymore! I actually look good. The present Ron moved closer to the future Ron and Hermione so that he could hear everything.

"Ron? Can I talk to you a minute?" Hermione asked leading Ron away from the group of boys Ron was just talking to.

"Sure Hermione! What's up?"

She took a deep breath and continued, " I just had to know… how you feel about me!"

"What do you mean?" Asked Ron once again being the blunt prat that he is.

"... I mean how do you see me? As it just like a friend, more than a friend, perhaps as a companion to share the rest of your life with?" Hermione regretted asking this. But she had to in order to understand what Ron felt.

Both present and future Ron's looked shocked at being at such a question. The present Ron came back to reality and crossed his fingers. This is your chance! Tell her that you love her! Tell her that you can't live without her and that you someday would like to spend the rest of your life with her.

Alas, he didn't, instead he said, "…a friend of course!" The stupid prat replied as the other Ron smacked himself in the forehead with his hand.

Ron turned to James and asked, "Am I really that stupid? To let a gorgeous women like that just walk out of my life?"

James just nodded and pointed at them to indicate that it wasn't quite over yet.

Hermione looked devastated. Keeping her tears bottled up inside, she gathered up all of her courage and in a shaky voice said, "I see then! I'm going to miss you!"

"Why?"

"Because Viktor just popped the question to me! I told him that I would think about it! And then I came to you to see how you felt." Hermione paused for a moment and then continued. "I have to be honest with you. I have loved you ever since I saw you, but I can see that you've never felt that way about me. So, I'm going to do the unthinkable… I'm going to go over to Viktor and I'm going to tell him yes. That I will marry him." Just then she turned on her heel and went back to Viktor to give him her terrifying answer.

Future Ron just let her go showing no emotions at all.

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" Shouted Ron. "I just let her go?"

James nodded and took Ron's hand leading him to the worst memory of all.

A/N: That's all for now. I hope you've enjoyed that long and exhausting chapter. Because let me tell you that I've enjoyed writing it. Love you all!!!
