Thanks for all the reviews!

Chapter 13

Ron's Date

It had been a few days since Draco's release from Azkaban. Everything was back to normal, well like nothing ever happened, that is. The minister seemed mad at Harry and Hermione. He made it seem like he would try to get them to lose there jobs if it was the last thing he did.

The hunt for Harry's true almost murderer stopped, as the ministry didn't care anymore. Only one person was still looking miraculously for the person who tried to hurt Harry, Mr. Weasley. He was still far away from learning who did it. Every time he got a lead, he would run straight into a dead end. He was still positive that whoever was on the cell phone was the one who kill Harry. Mr. Weasley had been hunting for a way to track down where the person was calling from. If he could find this, he could learn exactly who the murderer was, and get them locked up. Unfortunately, this seemed impossible. There was no way to do this in the world, especially since almost no one there had phones. Hermione had once mentioned that muggle cops knew how do this.

Arthur made a quick mental note to ask her about this. He knew that if he found something out about this, he could research it, and track down the person who attempted murder.

Over at Harry's house, Ron was running around the house, very excited. He was also very nervous. Tonight was the night for him. Tonight was his night with Lavender Brown.

Ron's attitude was a complete rollercoaster these past few days. When Ron had found out that Draco had been released from Azkaban, he got really mad. He did not talk to Hermione for a few days. His temper was really high most of these days. Harry and Hermione were really confused at why Ron was so upset over him getting released. He was innocent, right?

Ron looked at his watch, it was almost that time. Harry and Hermione wished him good luck. He then grabbed some flowers he bought earlier and walked out the door.

"Ron, flowers?" Hermione asked, knowing something was up with Ron.

"I know, weird. He never bought flowers for any other dates."

"He must really be serious about this." Hermione commented.

"Yeah, he must really want a girlfriend."

"But, why Lavender?"

"I know you don't like her, but you don't know her either. For all you know, you could be best friends with her."

"Like that's going to happen." She muttered.

"You don't know what's going to happen in the future."

"Speaking of future, we get to work together next week." Hermione said changing the subject.

"Yeah, but its still work. Plus our jobs our getting evaluated, which is even worse the minister already hates us, we better not screw this up."

"Don't worry, he won't fire us, I'll make sure of it."

Ding Dong

The doorbell rang. Ron stood at the door, very nervous. He started rocking back and forth, waiting for her to answer it. The knob turned and Ron quickly stood up straight. He bit his lip, very scared. Ron grabbed the flowers and held them out.

"Hello Lavender," Ron said, trying his hardest to stop himself from blushing. "You look beautiful," He said complimenting her. And she did. You could tell that she had gotten a lot older and more mature. He now did not know why he dated her just to make Hermione jealous, because she deserved so much better than that.

"Thanks Ron," Lavender said. She then stepped out and shut the door behind her. "Where're we off to?"

"You'll see," Ron answered vaguely. He then led her to his car. He opened the door for her, being very polite. She got into the ca, and sat down. Ron walked over to the other side, and went in. He started the car. He sped off, up into the sky. They were there in about fifteen minutes. Ron parked the car and they both got out. Lavender still had no idea where they were. Ron led her inside, and up a few flights of stairs. They ended up in a short hallway. They walked down the hallway, and a door appeared in front of them. Ron turned the handle, and held it open for Lavender to go first. He watched her face quickly change to shock. He smiled at her expression.

"Wow," she muttered in awe.

They were outside, on top of the building. It was nighttime, and you could see quite a few stars. There were candles floating above them. A table settled in the middle of the floor, which was set to perfection. Two plates were set, with food on them. Two candles were centered on the table. Ron led Lavender over to the table, and pulled the chair out. She thanked him, and he sat down.

"How'd you get those candles up there? It looks just like Hogwarts." She asked.

"Hermione gave me the spell." Ron said.

After they finished eating, Ron used his wand to make music start playing. He got up, and took Lavender's hand. With one hand he continued to hold hers. The other he attached to her waste. They slowly started dancing. Within minutes, they were centimeters apart. Lavender could feel his breath. He leaned in, and slowly touched her lips.

Ron held her hand and walked up the stairs with her, to the door. She went into her purse and got her keys. Slowly, she brought her hand to the door knob. Even though she turned the key, she looked like she was patiently awaiting something else. Ron stopped her from stepping in, and kissed her. A smile then formed on both there faces.

"Good night," She whispered.

She continued to open the door. She walked in, happy the way her date went. She shut the door behind her

"Yes," Ron muttered, outside the door.

AN- I know it's really short. Next chapter is much longer. Also there's no really Harry and Hermione in this chapter, its just Ron and Lavender. Next chapter is the complete opposite.
