Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart's shooting stars
You're holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever walked on air
Ever felt like you were dreamin'
When you never thought it could
But it really feels that good
Have you ever been so in love
The trio along with Oliver, Ginny, and Lavender walk into the Great Hall together and take a seat at the Gryffindor and were conversing about graduation. (A/n: if I haven't mentioned this, Oliver and Ginny are the same year as the trio and Lavender…Ginny got bumped up a grade b/c the last few years she's shown that she is able to work above her abilities with the trio) Dumbledore stands up and a hush falls over the Great Hall.
"I have an announcement to make. As you all know, spring break is coming up, we decided this year that the 7th years are able to take a vacation to where ever they desire, as long as they have permission from their parents and are in groups of 6 or more. They must pay for themselves and let us know by the end of next week as spring break is in 3 short weeks. You may pick up your packets with information from the head of your house," Dumbledore looked around with his twinkling blue eyes, "Let's 'tuck in'".
The little group of friends immediately started conversing excitedly.
"You know what this means!" exclaimed Ron, "We get to choose wherever we want to go!"
"Do any of you have any where in mind?" Hermione asked.
They all sat and thought about things while they piled their plates full of food. Oliver was munching thoughtfully on some potatoes when a thought came to him.
"Well, I've got an idea honestly," he said, everyone turned to look at him, "it's kind of romantic and stuff so I'm not sure how you would feel about it but how about a ski resort? We could rent a cabin to ourselves and I'm sure that there are tons of things to do at these ski resorts."
"That sounds like a brilliant idea!" Harry replied.
Everyone nodded in agreement. So they finished eating and go up and walked out of the Great Hall to the common room.
"I'm sure that Professor McGonagall will be coming to the common room soon to pass out the packets, so I'll pick 6 copies up for us," Hermione said.
So they all took their usual spots by the fire. Hermione and Oliver took the big, over stuffed chair while Lavender and Ron and Harry and Ginny each took one of the couches sitting across from one another. On the table in between the couches sat a wizard chess set. They all watched Ron beat Harry once again at the game.
"Harry, you never give up darling!" Ginny said and then giggled.
"One of these days I will beat him, I know I will" Harry said while running a hand through his already wind-blown hair.
"Yeah, one day Harry," Lavender said. Everyone laughed.
The portrait opened and McGonagall walked in with a huge stack of papers in her arms.
Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart's shooting star
You're holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love, have you...
The time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven-sent
When you find it don't let go,
I know
Have you ever said a prayer
And found that it was answered
All my hope has been restored
And I ain't looking anymore
Have you ever been so in love, have you...
"Attention students, any 7th years interested on taking the vacation please come forward and collect a packet from me. You need to have the permission slip torn off the packet and sent to your parents who must reply before next Saturday. Next Saturday there will be a Hogsmeade visit so you will be able to pick up some things for the vacation. Your parents are free to send you extra money if necessary. Thank you and Good Night"
Hermione walked up to McGonagall and collected six packets from her. She walked back to the group and handed them out.
"This is gonna be an awesome trip," Ginny said. She started filling out the form. "Ron, if you hurry, I'll send yours along with mine and the twins'"
"If you want Ginny, I can take it for you, there's no sense that all of us go up there." Hermione offered.
"Thanks Mia" said Ginny.
"You ready Oliver?" Hermione asked.
"Sure am, let's go," he said and grabbed her hand.
Together they collected the packets along with the twins' and walked up to the Owlery hand in hand. They walked in silence for a bit, just savoring the time they had with one another.
"You excited about this trip?" Oliver asked in a soft voice.
"Of course, I get to spend it with you and my closest friends, why wouldn't I be?" she asked, "how about you?"
Oliver just grinned and leaned down to kiss her softly on the lips.
"I'll take that as a yes" she said between giggles.
Oliver leaned in again and deepened the kiss. He pressed her up against a wall and on of his hands tunneled through her waist length, curly brown hair. His other hand wrapped around her waist to bring her closer to him. She signed in defeat and put her arms around his neck.
"We should go to the Owlery and send these off, sweetheart" she replied with a giggle.
They made their way up to the Owlery and sent off the letters. They walked their way back to the common room joking and laughing together like they didn't have a care in the world.
Some place that you ain't leavin'
Somewhere you're gonna stay
When you finally found the meanin'
Have you ever felt this way
The time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven-sent
When you find it, don't let go,
I know...
Coz have you ever been so in love, so in love
You could touch the moonlight
You can even reach the stars
Doesn't matter near or far
Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever been in love
Have you ever been in love
So in... love...
