Ron just stood there stunned for a moment. 'Bloody hell! I can't believe that Hermione Granger just kissed me! Twice!' He thought before going up to bed himself.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The next morning Hermione woke up at 6 a.m. to Ginny shaking her wildly. "Oh my gosh Hermione, I'm so happy for you!"

"What are you talking about Ginny?" asked Hermione a little bit mad that Ginny had woken her up so early.

"Harry just told me that you are going to the dance with Ron!" replied Ginny.

"Oh, right, well thanks, but its 6 o'clock in the morning! What are you doing with Harry at this hour?" asked Hermione while smiling at Ginny.

"Ohh, umm well," started Ginny, but then stopped because she didn't know what to say.

"It's okay," interrupted Hermione, "I'm not sure that I want to know."

Ginny blushed furiously. "Well we are both up now, so tell me what happened last night!"

Hermione told Ginny all about what happened the night before. They then got dressed and went down to breakfast and tried to rush through their classes so that they could go back to the common room and talk about the dance.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

That night in the common room Ron decided to make the next move and take things a little bit farther than they had gone in the past.

Ginny, Harry and everyone else that had been in the common room had already went up to bed leaving Ron and Hermione alone on the couch.

Hermione packed up her homework and was about to get up and leave when Ron kissed her. She was surprised by his sudden change in the way that he acted lately, but she couldn't honestly say that she didn't like it.

Ron started to pull away but Hermione pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. She ran her tongue across his lips begging for entry. Soon his lips parted and they kissed hotly for a few minutes before Hermione pulled away.

"We better get to bed now," she said, "so we won't be tired for the dance tomorrow night."

"Right," he said as he walked her to the girls' staircase and kissed her one more time, "goodnight."

"Goodnight Ron," she said as she kissed him gently on the lips before going up to bed.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The next morning classes went by rather quickly for the students; before they knew it they were all at lunch.

"Ohh! I'm so excited!" exclaimed Ginny as she sat down at the Gryffindor table at lunch, "I've just found out that Dumbledore got the Weird Sisters to perform at the dance tonight!"

"Oh man, I love them!" said Harry as he added, "but not as much as I love you Gin," because she gave him a puppy dog face that said, 'you don't love me?'

For the rest of lunch the four of them talked about what songs they thought that the band would play, and what their favorites were.

"Come on Hermione, I've got a spell that you will love, lets go get ready for the dance!" said Ginny excitedly.

"Bloody hell, the dance is like eight hours away! Why do you need to get ready now?" asked Ron with an odd look on his face.

"Because they are girls Ron, that's what they do." Said Harry like he knew what he was talking about.

Ginny smiled and shook her head in agreement.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

A few minutes later Hermione and Ginny were entering their dorm.

"Oh, Gin, what is that spell that you were talking about before?" asked Hermione excitedly.

"Well actually it's a spell that I read about in the Witch Weekly Beauty magazine." Ginny answered as she pulled the magazine out of her trunk.

"See," she continued, "it's a spell that will make your hair not so puffy, no offense or anything, but I thought that you would want it to be a little bit smoother tonight. Since it's your first well, I don't know what to call it, with Ron, you know what I mean, right?"

"Yea, and thanks, but like Ron said, why will it take us eight hours to get ready?" asked Hermione.

"Well it won't," answered Ginny, "but I thought that we could have girl time and it also says that the spell could take a few times to work, so I just wanted to make sure that we would have enough time."

"Oh, ok, well let's get started." said Hermione.

The girls did the spell on Hermione's hair and it only took three times to get it how they wanted it. They also did it once on Ginny's hair to make it a little bit smoother.

Once they were done they laid on Hermione's bed and looked through the magazine. They found a few more spells that were useful. A tanning spell, a spell that would make their makeup stay on and a spell that would make it so that they wouldn't sweat when they were dancing.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"It's nearly 8 o'clock, I haven't seen Ginny or Hermione since lunch, I wonder what's taking them so long." Ron said to Harry, anxious to see Hermione.

Ron and Harry were already ready and waiting for the girls in the common room. Ron was dressed as a famous Quidditch player from his favorite team, they Chudley Cannon's, and Harry as a prince.

A few moments later their jaws dropped as they saw the girls enter the common room.

Hermione was dressed as an angel. She was wearing a baby blue silk dress that went down to her knees. It was low cut, v-neck, and hugged her curves just right. There was quite a bit of cleavage showing, but Ron wasn't complaining. It was long sleeved and flared around the wrists. She had fluffy white angel wings on her back and a white halo magically hovering over her newly straight and smooth hair. She wore her hair down and it looked perfect with her newly tanned skin and her vivid blue eye makeup.

Ron was shocked. It didn't even look like the Hermione that he had known for so many years.

"Wow, you look amazing!" he said as he walked over and kissed her.

Next was Ginny. Harry was amazed at how gorgeous she looked. She was wearing a very short, very sexy light pink velvet dress, and transparent fairy wings. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had glitter all over her body that made her skin shimmer in the candle light.

"You too," said Harry as he went over and kissed Ginny.

All four of them went down to the Great Hall for the dance and met up with Luna and Neville on the way.

Luna was dressed as a medieval princess, and Neville as a warrior.

When they got to the Great hall it looked amazing.

A/N: Sorry that it took me so long to update. I just got a new job which has been occupying my time. I wanted this chapter to be longer and go into detail about the dance, but I also wanted to update as soon as possible. The next chapter will be all about the dance. Hope you enjoy. R&R.
