The next day, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were all sitting in the common room.
Harry was telling them about the disastrous date with Cho.
"And then she stomped out of the shop!" he finished.
Hermione looked awestruck.
"That must've been horrible Harry! Don't you think, Ron?"
Ron was staring blankly ahead of himself.
"Ron?"
Ron didn't say anything.
"He's been acting funny ever since we came back from Hogsmeade," said Harry, looking at Ron.
Ron turned his head to Harry.
"I'm fine," he said, and then looked in front of himself again. "I think I will go upstairs the great hall and get something to eat," he said and started walking towards the portrait hole.
"But… but…" Hermione said, "The great hall is downstairs." She looked at him strangely.
"I knew that." He said warily, "I think I'll go now."
He walked out of the portrait hole.
"What is with him?" said Ginny confused.
"I really don't know," said Harry, "He's probably just angry or something."
"Yeah," said Ginny, "probably."
All of them got up and followed Ron down to the great hall.
Weeks passed. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were all eating dinner in the great hall. Then the platters of food cleared, and desserts appeared. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny started to dig in. They all looked at Ron.
"Aren't you going to have some chocolate frogs, Ron?" Asked Hermione, holding a chocolate frog under his nose.
"I don't like chocolate frogs," said Ron.
"What?" said Harry looking strangely at him, "They're you're favorite!"
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Ron said taking the chocolate frog.
Why is Ron acting so weird? thought Ginny, looking at him trying to open the chocolate frog package.
Professor Dumbledore stepped up to the podium.
Silence covered the great hall.
"This Friday will be the traditional Halloween dance." Dumbledore said, and the students exploded in cheers. Dumbledore waited till they silenced.
"It will be here in the great hall," said Dumbledore, "And it is a costume party. We will see you there."
As Dumbledore stepped off the podium, the usual sound of benches screeching back and students rumbling out of the great hall occurred once again.
Once Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny reached the common room, they all sat around the fire.
"So," said Hermione, "Can you all wait for the Halloween dance! Last year was so much fun!"
"Yeah," said Harry, "It was awesome."
Harry. Is. So. Hott. Thought Ginny, staring up at him.
"The dance is in 2 days! So," said Hermoine, looking at Ron who had said nothing at all, "Who are you going to ask to the dance, Ron?"
Ron looked at her.
"I don't know. Would you want to go with me?"
Hermione looked at him bewildered. "Well you sure get quick to the point, don't you Ron? But," she said blushing, "I'd love to go."
She smiled at Ron and then stood up.
"Well," she said yawning, "I'm going to bed. You coming, Ginny?"
"Yeah," said Ginny, still looking at Harry, "I'll come in a second."
"Okay then, see you later."
She walked upstairs and went into the girls' dormitory.
"Who are you asking to the dance, Harry?" said Ron looking at him.
"Oh um, I don't know," said Harry.
"Cho?" said Ron, "Is it Cho?"
"I really don't know Ron." said Harry.
"Is Cho the girl you like?" said Ron, his voice determined, "Who is the girl you like?"
"Ron, what is with you?" said Harry looking at him curiously, "You've been acting really strange lately and now you're practically demanding to know who I like. Are you okay? Maybe you should see Madame Pomfrey."
"No!" shouted Ron quickly, "I mean no, I'm fine really. I'm going to go to bed now. Goodbye."
Ron started going up the stairs of the girls' dormitory. The stairs slipped into a slide and Ron slid down them.
"What the heck!" said Ron.
"You went to the wrong dormitory!" said Ginny.
"Oh yeah, I knew that," said Ron, and he hurried over up the stairs into the boys' dormitory.
"Well," said Ginny standing up, "I'm going to go upstairs now. Goodnight Harry."
She started to go up to the girls' dormitory.
"Wait!" said Harry, and Ginny turned around.
"What is it?" she said looking at him oddly.
"Never mind," said Harry sighing, "I'll tell you later.."
Ginny shrugged and started up the stairs again while Harry watched her go. After she closed the door behind herself, Harry sighed.
"I just wanted to tell you that I love you."
