So, third chapter is finished! (Sorry, a part of the ending was missing because I forgot the changes I wanted to make! but now, everything is here! g) How do you like it? A review would be nice!
Thanks to all the people who have already reviewed! Also, thanks for your critizism! That can help me to get better! g
About the names: I think I can't satisfy everybody, but there's a mixture between invented names and names with a special meaning (at the end of this story, there will be a name from the second group! You know what it means? g)! Or did you find out what the name Candidus (DADA Prof) means?
Disclaimer: The same as always! I am not J.K.Rowling, so nothing from Harry Potter is mine, just this story and some characters!
During the whole next week, you could see young male students wander through the school with flowers, little presents and pralines. They gave these things to the girls they asked to be their date for the ball.
Some boys were disappointed and sad because the girl had said "no", other were as happy as you can be when the girl of your dreams wants to have a date with you. Other boys didn't even get a chance to ask a girl because the female students walked through the school in huge groups, giggling and chattering even more and louder than before. Their topics were shoes, make-up, their dates, hairstyles, etc.
The happy boys also talked about their girls and showed off.
Everybody seemed to have a fever and to look forward to the ball. Everybody except some people- Harry among them.
He hadn't told Ron that he wanted to go out with Ginny and that he had deep feelings for her and he still wasn't man enough to ask Ginny to go out with him when his best friend was following her all the time.
Harry felt the anger rising in him again. He really wanted to practise the Slimus Charm on Ron!
But at least, he was not alone with his anger at Ron- he had Hermione!
With the I-am-Gin's-shadow-so-don't-even-look-at-her-story, Ron had completely forgotten to ask Hermione if she wanted to be his date for the ball! Hermione felt a strong desire to throw Ron out of the window every time he was near, but she said and did nothing.
And then, there was also Ginny.
She felt more miserable than ever before because every time she saw Susan Nasty somewhere in school, the Slytherin-girl would scream: "Attack of the Redheads!" and "Watch out! Weasley has a bodyguard!" Ginny would blush, her head would turn as red as a tomato and the other students would laugh and point at her. Then, the 16-year-old girl would leave immediately, followed by her stupid brother.
Now, she was in her bedroom, lying on her bed. Supper time was over, but she hadn't felt like going to the Great Hall. She didn't want to see Harry, Ron or the silly Susan again.
Why couldn't the others stop laughing at her?
She felt a well-known anger inside of her.
And then, the ball! It could be a very happy evening for her if Harry went there with her and if Ron was far away…
But none of these two wishes would come true!
Harry didn't love her and Ron would follow her till the end of her life and maybe also afterwards. Even if Harry or another nice guy was interested in having a date with her, they would not be able to ask her because of this stupid Ron!
"Argh!" she shouted and threw her pillow against the closed door.
But it was that very moment, when her three friends came in. Flo was the first t enter the room and so, the pillow hit her in the face.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Flo!" Ginny jumped up form her bad and ran towards her friend with a worried expression on her face. But Flo had already grabbed the pillow which had been thrown at her and threw it back at the red-haired girl with a crazy laugh. She cried "pillow fight" and Melli and Sab jumped into the room behind their tall friend Flo.
Five minutes later, the room looked like the top of a snowy mountain. There were feathers everywhere and the girls had even had them in their hair and on their clothes. With the Reparo and Scourgify charm, Melli eliminated the chaos in the room and their pillows were like new again.
Sab disappeared into the bathroom because she wanted to wash her shiny blonde hair (she had a date with Leo, who would also go to the ball with her). Ginny jumped onto her bed again and lay down with her arms crossed behind her head and already in thought again.
But her friends wouldn't let her be such a stick-in-the-mud any longer. "What is it, Gin? Still because of Harry?"
Ginny sat up and looked from Flo's brown eyes into Melli's and then said: "Don't think I am a fool because of what I will tell you now! I know that it isn't realistic, but I am still hoping that Harry will ask me to be his date on the ball! But I know he doesn't even like me! Even though you said he does, but that's wrong!"
Tears were running into her big blue eyes and she covered them with her hands.
Melli and Flo took her into their arms, not knowing what to answer as she wouldn't believe them. They were quite sure that Harry had deep feelings for her, but they thought that the truth would be told very soon and everything would end happily.
But to Ginny it didn't seem like that: on the next day, she had Transformation in the afternoon and as she didn't want to eat again, she wanted to go to the classroom very early and wait there for her friends, who would bring her some of the food.
On her way, she soon realized that Ron was following her again and she rolled her eyes. Why could he not spend his time with Hermione?
She went around a corner and saw Harry not very far away. He was coming towards her, which was very surprising for her. Could Melli and Flo be right after all? She couldn't believe it.
Harry came nearer and nearer and Ginny stopped and started to play with her hair very nervously.
Harry had almost reached her when he turned around and walk away. Ginny turned around and saw that Ron came around the corner, too.
Harry must have seen him! But he really wanted to talk to her! She didn't know what, but that didn't really matter.
The 17-year-old Harry cursed silently. "Stupid Ron! Why does he always have to be there where nobody needs him!"
Suddenly, Hermione appeared in front of him and said: "Hey Harry, I was looking for you everywhere! I just wanted to ask you if you want to go to the ball with me!"
Hermione almost screamed and Harry turned around to follow her look that went past him. He realized that Ginny and Ron had followed him and had heard everything.
Ginny looked hurt and Ron shocked (he could have made a good scarecrow with the expression on his face). Then, there was deep anger on both their faces and as a Hufflepuff-boy, who was in Ginny's class, walked past her (his name was Walter Native). He was very good-looking with his brown hair and green eyes. She called after him: "Walter, do you want to be my date for the ball?"
She looked at Harry, her face red with anger.
Walter seemed to be very happy and said "yes".
Now, Harry became very angry (he felt deep jealousy, though he didn't know this feeling) and he also said "yes" to Hermione.
The boy with the very impressing green eyes, the dark messy hair and the scar which is as famous in the magical world as the Queen for the Muggles, looked at the girl he really loved with a very nasty smile now and this girl, Ginny, threw her wonderful red hair over her shoulders, gave Harry and Hermione a death-look and Walter a very charming smile. And Hermione showed Ron one of her It's-your-own-fault-looks. All three of them found their actions very clever and felt good.
Then, Hermione and Harry went away in one direction and Ginny and Walter in the other one.
They left the poor Ron standing alone in the corridor, his mouth open and not able to move. The only thing he could say was: "What was all that?"
The old wizard (long white beard and hair, huge glasses and a hat with a cat on top of it on his head) on the painting next to him saw his puzzled look and gave a shrug with the words: "Don't ask me!"
To be continued...
UKnowULuvMe asked me why Harry loves Ginny in this story and why Ginny loves Harry again!
Well, I don't really know what will happen in the next two books! Everything comes from my imagination and I really want them to be a couple! Question answered?
