Chapter Twelve: Preparing For Ron's Big Day

Sam woke and looked around, Ron was already up, he looked nervous about something, "Ron what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," he said turning around, "everything's right."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see tonight." he said and smiled.

Sam went downstairs, and found Ginny eating breakfast, " hey, what's up with Ron? He was acting strange when I woke up."

"He's just nervous," Hermione said sitting down across for Sam, " I would be too if I was him right now."

"Why?" Sam asked.

"You'll see tonight." Ginny said downing her juice, "c'mon let's go get our dresses, Fred and George gave us the money to buy them. It was kind of an apology gift for the other night." Ginny said.

"Why do we need dresses?" Sam asked.

" For tonight, we're going out." Hermione explained.

The three girls walked around, looking at all the dresses, but none satisfied them. Finally they found a shop that had just what they were looking for. They looked at all the dresses, really thinking about what to get.

"I think I'll get this one," Ginny said holding up a scarlet and gold gown.

"Gin that's so cute on you." Sam said.

Hermione found a lilac dress, and fell in love with it.

"Ok Sam you're the only one with out a dress, so pick." Ginny said.

"Ok, ok I'm looking."

She finally found the perfect dress, it was hot pink, with black stars on it, and it stopped at her right knee, but flowed down on the left, past her ankle. "It's perfect!"

They finally got out of the store, and met up with the others in a Quidditch store.

"Hey Ron, wazup?" Sam said, walking over to him, ad wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Nothing really." he said, placing a kiss on the girl's lips.

"Do you play Quidditch?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Really? What do you play?"

"Keeper."

"So you need knew gloves huh? You must play a lot."

"Yeah all the time."

"Here let me buy them, I need some too." she offered.

"Why do you need gloves?"

"I'm trying out for Beater. I have an advantage, because I had lots of free time when I was little, so I went to the practices with Oliver."

Meanwhile, across the store, Ginny found Harry looking around, he wrapped his arm around her waist, "How are you?"

"Good." she answered.

"You still playing beater next year?"

"Yeah, I would be seeker if you weren't here." she teased.

"Hey let's go! We gotta get ready!" Zak called from the entrance.

They walked up to their rooms, all leaving with a kiss.

Harry and Ginny stopped in the hall, and kissed passionately.

Just then Mr. Weasley walked by, he kept walking, then turned back. "Yu two should ready." he said and walked off, chuckling.

Harry walked into his room, and saw Ron standing in front of the mirror, straitening his tie over and over.

"You look great Ron! Can I see the ring?" Harry said.

"Yeah here." he said handing Harry a little box from his pocket.

He opened the box, and found a golden ring, with three rubies. "It's beautiful, Sam will love it."

"What if she says no? I think I'd die if she did."

"She won't, she loves you." he encouraged Ron.

The girls were getting ready, fixing their hair and makeup. They made their way downstairs, to see the guys waiting for them.

"You look great." Zak said to Hermione, giving her a kiss.

"Thanks."

"Get ready, Author will here with the cars in a minute." Molly said rushing around.

They got in the cars as couples; Ron and Sam, Harry and Ginny, Zak and Hermione, Fred and George, Bill and Charlie and their girlfriends, and Percy and a stack of parchment.

"Percy!" Molly snapped, "you will not work on your reports tonight!"

"I don't want to go."

"You will go, and you will not work on those damn reports!" she said, and she snatched the papers, and burnt them to ash.

"What's wrong with him?" Sam asked.

"Percy doesn't like our family, he thinks we're against the ministry." Ginny explained.

YAY! School's out I can actually work on my stories again!
