Ok this is the next chapter. Thanx to those who reviewed. Please keep reviewing.
"Harry, Ginny?" asked a voice, Harry slowly opened his eyes to see Hermione standing over him, a puzzled look on her face. It was just barely light out, and no one else was in the common room. Ginny was starting to stir, her light blue nightgown, tightly wrapped around her knees. She looked startled to seen Hermione. "What's going on?" Hermione asked, curious not mad. "Well, you see, um, it's not that easy to explain. We're back together, but I don't want anybody to know that way they won't hurt Ginny." Harry said. Hermione nodded "Well then, I didn't see anything. I suppose I'll go back to bed. By the way Harry this is the right thing, I'm glad you figured it out." She left the room and walked back up the stairs to her dormitory. "I think we, better go back to our dorm before anyone else walks in. They stood up and walked to stairs, Harry kissing Ginny lightly on the cheek before going back to his dorm.
The next morning, Hermione kept up her promise and never once mentioned what she had seen. The next few days flew by, and finally it was Saturday. At 12 o'clock sharp, Harry went and knocked on Dumbuldore's door, Or in this case McGonigall's door. "Come in Potter" McGonigall said. The room looked exactly the same as last year, except for Dumbuldore's portrait, who was smiling down at Harry. "Good-Morning Harry. There is no reason for Minerva to leave as I have filled her in on everything. Now before we get down to business I have a few things to go over with you. Though I am still able to think, for any past memories you will have to consult my pensive. Though we will only have to deal with the portrait situation for a few more weeks, because by then I will be a ghost. I will also be coming back as Headmaster, when I take on the ghost form." Harry was shocked, "But why haven't you told anybody yet?" Harry questioned. "Well you see the announcement will be made soon enough. I haven't told anybody yet because it takes a few months for a ghost to come back. Beside the ministry, has only just approved me staying on as headmaster. You may tell your friends if you wish." Dumbuldore looked happy, but it was nothing compared to Harry's sheer look of joy. "Now for tonight I would just like you to explain to me the idea of this experimental charm you found." Harry spent the next hour discussing the spell with McGonigall and Dumbuldore. In the end they decided they would try it on a cat first to be on the safe side. Harry left the office and picked up the pace. He was still excited about the good news. He rounded a corner and ran smack into Hermione. Hermione was crying. "Hermione, are you alright what happened?" Harry asked. "Rose, she……" and she started to sob again. Harry was a confused. "Err, why don't we go and sit down somewhere, outside and you can tell me, what happened." They walked out to the beach tree and sat down and Hermione explained, "Well we were all just in the common room, and she came over and sat down next to Ron. We were doing homework together. So all of a sudden she just grabs Ron's head and started snogging with him and he goes right along with it. Finally after a few minutes later, I just tell her to stop it. And they just start staring at me and Rose says, why would you care, its not like you took the intuitive to snog him, you've had six years, you can't expect him to wait around forever. And then Ron looks at me and he looks so mad and hurt. And then they just start snogging again. And I ran out. It was terrible." And Hermione starts crying again. "Well, why don't I go get us some lunch and we'll talk about what to do." Hermione smiled, "You don't have to do that, its ok I can go to lunch." Harry shook his head, "You've done this for me to many times over the years to count. When nobody but you was talking to me or I was depressed, or having a fight with Ron, or even just girl trouble. It's the least I can, to return the favor." Harry walked back to the castle and was back a few minutes later with sandwiches, crisps, and iced pumpkin juice. They ate their lunch in silence. After they were done, Hermione did a cleaning charm and the trash disappeared. Hermione was a lot calmer by then, "What am I supposed to do now, I mean what if Rose is right and I am too late. Even worse, what if Ron doesn't ever speak to me again?" Harry sighed, "Rose is only right if you let her be right. And Ron will speak to you again, he just has to sort out his feelings, it might take a little while. Ron does like you and would go out with you in a heartbeat if given the chance." Hermione was speechless so Harry continued, "You know, you guys are the only people who it isn't obvious to, that you like each other." Hermione nodded, "I tried last year to invite him to Slughorn's party, but it came out all wrong. And then there was the whole Yule Ball thing. I was hoping Ron would ask me, but he didn't, and then Krum came along and it wasn't like I wanted to go alone." "Why don't we just let it blow over ok?" Harry asked. The next few weeks were a bit awkward; Ron wouldn't talk to Hermione, so Harry did. Things seemed to be going very badly until one night in November during dinner; Harry got a message from McGonigall it simply said, "He's Back" Harry rushed out of the dinning hall and up the stairs to Dumbuldore's office.
He ran into the room and just as he had expected, there standing before him was a transparent version of Dumbuldore. Harry smiled, "Professor your back, but why haven't you told the school yet, you said you would a month ago?" Dumbuldore said, "I thought we'd go down and tell them right now a bit of a surprise!" Even in ghost form Dumbuldore's eyes twinkled. The 3 of them walked down to the Great Hall.
