Ch. 2-

Ginny and Hermione walked back through Hogwarts castle to their common room with their dresses.

"Pansy needs some serious mental help…"

"Yeah, maybe a nose job too…"

Both girls giggled relentlessly as they walked through the Portrait and joined Harry and Ron.

"So girl, you got your dresses?"

"Yes we did, Harry! Ginny looks AMAZING in her dress!" Hermione gushed.

"O shut up Hermione, you looked way better in yours"

But Ginny was still smiling from Hermione's compliment.

They both ran up to their dormitories to show their friends.

"So Ron, you still taking Lavendar Brown?"

Harry was surprised Ron plucked up the courage and asked her.

"Yeah mate, I was surprised she said yes, but we seem to be getting along…err…well."

Ron was smiling sheepishly and a deep crimson blush was creeping up his neck onto his face.

Harry decided not to ask, and promised himself he would find out Ron secret later.

Ron quickly changed the subject, thankful that Harry hadn't caught on.

"Who are you taking?"

"I don't know yet, I know its tomorrow, but I really wanted to ask Ginny."

It was Harry's turn to blush and Ron smiled at him.

Just then Hermione came bounding down the steps with a giant smile on her face.

"Did you ask someone yet Harry? You're a little behind, wouldn't you think?"

"No, not everyone can be so lucky as to have the prince of Slytherin be their dates; I don't even know how you let Dumbledore make you go with that stupid ferret."

"Harry, Ron I need to tell you---"

She paused and looked from Ron to Harry again.

"Hang on, you are going to ask Ginny?"

"Yeah, I mean you don't think she would say no do you?"

"Yes I do."

"Hermione! That's not nice at all, I know Ginny likes Harry."

"That's not what I meant Ron, Harry, she has already been asked."

"She has? But she hasn't mentioned anything yet."

"Yes, well she doesn't want anyone to know yet."

"Oh…are you sure, because if your not…"

"I'm positive Harry, I'm sorry, you should've asked her sooner, I mean look at Ginny, she's beautiful, and everyone adores her, she was asked the day we found out about the Ball."

"Damn."

Ginny came down the steps in only a towel and soaking wet hair.

"HERMIONE!"

Ginny looked pissed.

"What's wrong Gin?"

"Your damn cat decided to take a little shower with me and claw my legs to death when he realized that he was GETTING WET!"

Hermione winced and looked at Ginny's legs that were scratched a bleeding.

"Will you just get him so I can shower and not stand around looking like bloody Pansy Parkinson!'

With that the two girls busted out in a huge fit of laughs and giggles.

Ron and Harry were utterly confused.

Ron was more suspicious.

"Bloody Pansy Parkinson?"

"Yes, Ron, she well… she was being annoying."

"Oh Ginny, WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"I just punched her a little bit…"

Ron and Harry were looking at her with amusement and doubt.

"HERMIONE PUNCHED HER TOO!"

Now everyone was looking at her.

"No way, that's brilliant."

"Yeah, well anyway, who are you two taking?"

"Oh, uhh I'm taking Lavendar Brown, and err… Harry is---"

"IM taking…err…no body, I didn't want to be tied down to dancing with only one girl, so yeah…"

"Oh, ok, well I am going to go to bed."

"Night Gin."

"Night"

"Ill be up in a while Gin."

With the goodbyes said, Ginny went up to her dormitory and went to sleep.

Tomorrow would be the Ball, and Ginny was ready to shock everyone.
