Yesterday, Harry had asked Ginny to the Brady Hawkins. She awoke from some very good dreams the next morning feeling refreshed and relaxed. It was, after all, a Friday. Ginny went off to take her morningly shower, tripping on something on the way there. That something was her other foot. Her good mood spoiled by what she considered to be the largest female feet humanly possible, Ginny tromped off angrily to her shower. Ten minutes later she threw on some dark bluejeans, socks and sneakers, and a scoop neck black neck t-shirt that said 'I'm just one big F#&ing ray of sunshine aren't I?'in orange letters. She looked at herself in the mirror and decided to change the shirt, she was pretty happy today, and the saying was meant sarcastically. She settled on one that was red with white lettering on it that said 'WARNING: KLEPTOMANIAC CROSSING' and had a little figure grabbing stuff as it walked. She shrugged at her reflection and dried her hair with a wandless spell, throwing on her robes and grabbing her bookbag. Ginny headed down the stairs of the girls dorm just in time to catch up to Hermione in the common room. Ginny smiled and slowed her pace to walk with her friend.

"Hey, Hermione, are you going to the dance with anybody yet?" Ginny asked conversationally

" Why, are you trying to pick me up? I thought you were going with Harry."Hermione replied with a smirk that could rivale Malfoy's, Ginny rolled her eyes

"I am, I was just curious is all... how many times has Ron asked you yet?" Ginny questioned

"Eight and counting, he's really getting to be annoying with this whole creepy semi-stalkerish thing." Hermione replied, voice reflecting how annoyed she was.

"Hmm..." said Ginny

"What?" asked Hermione

"Oh nothing..." said Ginny

"Come on, tell me!" Hermione almost whined, growing impatient

"Well, it's not really that important, but that's exactly how Fred phrased it when we were talking about it the other day." Ginny said, shrugging her shoulders. Hermione laughed nervously

" I guess I've been spending too much time with the twins, pretty soon I'm going to start worshiping the Ramones even though there a muggle band." Hermione said

"Only Fred worships Ramones, and he'll only start ranting about them after you've been talking to him for a couple of hours. And what's with all the turtlenecks, they really don't do you justice you know." Ginny rambled. Hermione laughed nervously again,

"Waaaay too much tome...So, what are you gonna wear to the dance? Maybe this hogsmead weekend we could go shopping together or something." Hermione said, effectively changing the subject. They had arrived at the Gryffindor table in the great hall, Ginny grabbed a plate and sat down before responding:

" I'd love to go, but let's go really early so that we can pick out the nicest dresses, I don't know about you, but I'm wearing jeans under mine." Hermione also took a plate and sat down before replying:

"that sounds great, the jeans part especially, I hate wearing dresses and skirts because I feel as though there's nothing between my legs." Ginny giggled as she heaped scrambled eggs and sausage onto her plate.

"No offense Herms, but that didn't sound right." Ginny said, Hermione took a moment to think about it before giggling and nudging Ginny with her elbow.

A few minutes later Harry and Ron came and sat down with the girls, Harry smiled nervously at Ginny and grabbed a plate, Ginny smiled back. Ron turned to Hermione and said

"so, didja dump that ass 'ole to come with me to the dance yet?"

"Nine." Hermione said to Ginny, who rolled her eyes, Hermione mimed stabbing herself in the stomach as Fred and George came up behind them.

" Careful little bro, your killing her with all your smart little pickup lines." Said George, plopping down on one side of Hermione while Fred plopped down on the other side, they started filling up their plates as Ron's anger boiled just under the surface. Fred thought fast;

"um, Hermione, I totally spaced on that assignment for advanced arithmancy, do you think that you could help me with it before class?" Hermione smiled gratefully at him, glad of an excuse to ditch Ron.

"Well, we've only got half an hour or so, we'd better get moving, let's go back to the common room to work on it." She said, Fred nodded and they took their plates and left.

"Merlin, I'm almost starting to miss him, he's always hanging out with her an' all." said George, shaking his head as he dug in. Ginny's head snapped up, she started doing a sort of happy dance in her seat. All three of the boys turned to look at her strangely.

"I know who Herms is going to the ball with!" she cried happily, Ron stood up, knocking his glass of pumpkin juice over in the process,

"Who is he? I'll bloody kill him!" Ron cried angrily Ginny grabbed Harry in 'fear', and Harry to the rescue said

"Um, Ron? I wouldn't if I were you, he's much larger than you!" Ron rounded on harry, hurt in his eyes

"you knew? You knew and you didn't tell Ron! Ron loves Hermione, he would never hurt her! Ron must go find Hermione and Prove his love to her!" and with that, Ron, foaming at the mouth, went off to go seek out the fair Hermione and do something most likely crazy, stupid, horrible, and completely weird to her and/or Fred, ran clumsily out of the dining hall.

"Oh dear." said Harry, Ginny, and George in unison.

"Wait, how do you know who Hermione's going to the dance with?" Ginny asked George

"I don't! It just seemed like the right time to say 'oh dear' and- good lord, it's Fred isn't it?" George said, finally catching on

"yes!" Harry hissed

"and how did you know Harry?" asked Ginny suspiciously

"Ron was chasing me because I accidentally told him that I was going to ask you to the dance with me and I hid in a closet and they turned out to be auto lock-"

"We've got a key." interjected George

"I'm getting to that bit." said harry

" and I heard voices coming from-"

"in your head?" George interrupted again

"no, and shut up! Anyway, I heard voices coming from outside and a few minutes later Fred and Hermione stumbled in making out with each other and sort of fell on me and Hermione turned on the lights and I told them how the doors were auto-lock and Fred let me out with your guys' key and he and Hermione stayed in there..." Harry finished.

"Ooh, now I get the whole turtleneck thing." Ginny said

" wait, whaaaa?" said George" so let me get this straight, your going out with my sister, Ron's gone quite mad, and Fred's going out with Hermione?"

"Please don't hurt me but... yes." said Harry

"wait, we're going out?" said Ginny to Harry

"well, if you want to..." said Harry with a blush, Ginny responded by kissing Harry lightly, Harry grinned and Ginny smiled back.

"OK, I won't hurt you, but you might want to refrain from kissing her less then a foot away from me." said George menacingly, Harry paled and nodded.

"Well, let's go then." said Ginny

"What?" said the boys in unison, Ginny shook her head at the inferiority/stupidity of the male race and said:

" Let's go get Ron, you idiots."

"Oh..." said Harry, looking just the slightest bit crestfallen

"good." said George, standing up to go with them.
