DAYS TILL THE DANCE: 1

Ginny and Harry were sitting in the common room the next morning, all alone. It was pretty early so everyone else was either asleep, or at breakfast. They were having a conversation about the Gryffindor Quidditch Team Tryouts.

"And Ron's good at goalkeeping so I'm trying to get him to try out," said Harry in mid-conversation.

"Yeah," said Ginny, "I've seen him play before, but he gets nervous really easily."

There was an awkward silence.

"Well," said Ginny, "I'm going to go down to breakfast now, see you later Harry."

Ginny got up and started walking towards to portrait hole.

"Wait," said Harry. Harry got up and walked over to Ginny, his hands behind his back.

He pulled out a single red rose from behind his back.

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

Just then, Ginny woke up. She sat up in her bed.

It was only a dream, she thought sadly. Whatever is going to happen to Harry and I will be in my dreams.

She got up and glanced at the clock. It was 6:45. Hermione was still asleep along with all the rest of the girls in the dorm.

Ginny got up and got dressed quickly. She put on a little makeup and then expected herself in the mirror.

Hey, she thought, looking at her reflection, I don't look half bad. She yawned and then walked over to the dormitory door. She reached for the handle of the door, but then something caught her eye.

What's this? She thought, picking up a single small object that was peeking out from under the door. She brought it closer to her face. It was a rose petal. Why is this here? She thought strangely, but then shrugged and opened the door.

Ginny couldn't believe her eyes. The stairs, and the floor were covered with rose petals. The staircase railing had a string of roses woven around it. There was an arch of roses in the center of the room. Under it was Harry Potter grinning very wide.

Ginny walked down the petal covered stairs, awestruck. She went up to Harry under the arch of roses. Harry took a single red rose from behind his back.

"I've been trying to tell you all this time that I really like you Ginny. And I know I went to Hogsmeade with Cho, but only because she asked me, and I was too afraid to ask you. I have liked you ever since the first timeI have ever met you. You're so sweet and sincere and perfect. And when I kissed you a couple weeks ago, I felt someting special between us, butI was too afraid to talk to you about it. So now,I was wondering if you would want to go to the Halloween dance with me?"

Ginny kissed him.
