Halloween and a question

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

The phrase rang through the corridors as Harry and Ron headed towards the Great Hall where they found Hermione already getting a head start on the day's reading.

"You had better as her." Harry said as they walked through the large doorway, "I'll be right back."

Ron sighed as Harry walked away, preparing for the worst as he walked toward the Gryffindor table.

"Hey Hermione."

"Hello Ron"

There was then a silence, only being awkward for Ron because of his attempt to build up courage during that point in time.

"Hermione can I ask you a question?" Ron said finally breaking the long silence.

"Why not…" Hermione responded in her usual tone.

'Just get it over with Ron!' He said to himself. "Will you go to the Valentine's day ball with me Hermione?"

He had finally said it, not only was he shocked at himself, but even had some pride. He had actually said it to her face.

Hermione's face immediately turned bright red. Slowly, she looked up, not meeting Ron's eyes.

"Ron…" She finally said

"C'mon, just get it over with Hermione. I can take it, whatever it is. You can't hurt me too bad."

"No Ron, I want to go with you."

"Really?!"

"Yeah."

"Cool."

They met eyes for a short time before they looked away as another silence fell over them. Harry finally walked up to the table to put an end to some of the awkward feelings.

"Hey you guys. How's it going over here?"

"It's all good mate." Ron responded.

"Happy to hear that."

Hermione simply sat smiling at her book, and for once the boys were sure that it wasn't about what she was reading.

"Well, I suppose we should get going to Herbology." Ron said after they all had finished eating.

"You two go ahead. I'll meet you there. I need to talk to Ginny about something." Harry said getting up and walking back down the table. Harry snuck up behind Ginny with a kiss, causing her to jump.

"You know, you're not supposed to flinch when I do that."

"I didn't flinch!" Ginny responded pretending to sound offended.

"Right, so I have a little Halloween surprise that I'll give you if you walk me to herbology."

"Well, I guess I'll have to take you up on that. It better be good though."

They started off hand in hand toward the doors leading to the grounds.

"I got Ron to ask Hermione to the ball!" Harry said when they had entered a less noisy area of the corridors.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"That's great! Is this the surprise?"

"Yeah I'm afraid that's all I got for now."

"Well, I guess I'll just have to accept it then. Now, I must go to class." And with another kiss Ginny quickly skipped down the corridor.

Harry walked into the greenhouse to find Ron and Hermione sitting across from one another, avoiding each other's eyes.

"You do know that if you go to the ball together you have to actually speak to one another." Harry said as he sat down.

"Thanks Harry, great advice." Ron replied, looking at Harry with one of his funny looks.

"Glad I could be of help."

"Good morning students. For you Halloween treat as 7th years, I have planned no lesson for today. I must ask of you though not to mention it to any of the other professors."

The students cheered and smiles appeared across their faces.

"It's nice one of our teachers are going to give us something for our last Halloween at Hogwarts."

Yeah, no kidding, but to bad today wasn't the day that we had double herbology." Ron said with excitement.

"But we should really be learning something today. There are a lot of things we still need to know before we leave the safety of Hogwarts." Hermione commented with a concerned tone.

"Come on Hermione, one day won't hurt you. You just need to lighten up and have some fun."

Hermione simply sighed, opened her book, and began to read.

"Face it Ron, its Hermione. Whether the professor teaches us or not, she's going to learn something."

During the rest of the class the students did multiple things such as eat the edible plants in the room as well as play with the live ones.

The remainder of the day passed by quickly thanks to the few surprises from the rest of the professors as a Halloween treats.

"I can't believe even professor McGonagall let us have a couple minutes of freedom today."

"But the most important thing Ron is the fact that you still learned something today."

"Right, when do you think I'm going to use the skill of turning something into a pumpkin?

"You never know Ron!" Harry said in a sarcastic voice.

"Are you two ever going to be nice to me today?"

"I was nice to you this morning!" Ron protested.

"Okay, I'll give you two points for the day. Sorry Harry, you're still at zero."

"When did we start taking points?!" Harry asked.

"Today."

"Figures…"

"Can we go to the feast now?" Ron said through his rumbling stomach.

"Is there ever a day you go without worrying about you stomach at some time?" Hermione criticized him.

"So immature…"

The trio went into the Great Hall where the usual decorations were set up including the usual floating pumpkins. The 7th years were still very energetic from the day they had had.

"Welcome to another fabulous Halloween Feast." Dumbledore started after most of the students had sat down. "I hope you have had a good Halloween so far. That is all I really have to say. Therefore, you may eat."

The students enjoyed the feast, everybody involved in some sort of conversation.

After the feast many students went straight through the common room with their full stomachs and to bed. Harry, Ron, and Hermione on the other hand remained in the common room. Harry sat himself down in a squishy chair next to the fire, leaving only the couch open. Ron shot Harry a look of knowing what he was up to. They quickly fell into discussion.

Harry soon fell asleep leaving Ron and Hermione only with themselves to form and form of conversation. They talked a small bit into the night until they decided they themselves should go to sleep. Ron kicked Harry to wake him up.

"We're going to bed."

"Together?"

"Shut up you git!"

Harry smiled and followed Ron up the stairs to the Boys dormitory, Hermione going the opposite direction.

"Aren't you happy you finally asked her Ron?" Harry whispered as the walked up the stairs.

"If I say yes are you going to say, 'I told you so'?"

"Most likely."

"Then I have no comment."

They both then went to sleep, Ron smiling through the darkness.

A/N: So what did y'all think? Was it good enough? Lemme know by reviewing! ;-) Happy Holidays to all!
