"Checkmate!" Ron said for the fourth time as he and Harry played wizard chess in the common room. "I think I'm done" Harry smirked.

"Yeah, you definately need some practice." Ron laughed as he put away the chessboard. Ginny walked in excitedly. "Guess what!" she said to Harry.

He looked at her with a blank expression. "We are having a Christmas dance!" Ginny squealed. Ron and Harry exchanged glances of terror.

"Now almost all the girl's are staying over for the holidays." Ginny smiled brightly. "Um great Gin" Harry said trying to match her euthusiasum.

"Yeah the theme is Holidays at Hogwarts!" Ginny said looking around where's Hermione I have to tell her. "Probably with Draco" Harry said frowning.

Ron started muttering. With alot of effort Harry and Luna had kept Ron busy and away from Draco and Hermione. As if on cue Hermione walked in and as usual pretended Ron didn't exist.

"Ginny, Harry" she nodded as she went up to the girl's dormitory. Ginny ran up after her to tell her the news. "This is the longest me and Hermione haven't spoken." Ron sighed.

"Cheer up mate..she'll come around." Harry smiled."So I suppose your taking Luna then" Harry said in a smug voice.

"Yes..since she's my girlfriend I really don't have to ask or do I" he said confused. Harry noticed this was the first time Ron had called Luna his girlfriend. "Umm no" Harry said quickly but he knew that all girls liked to be asked.

"Well I'm going to ask her?" he smiled. "It sounds more official." Harry smiled slightly then nodded. "Well I'm going to the Great Hall" Harry said standing up. "Want to join?" Harry asked Ron. "That's it!" Ron said interupted suddenly.

"Harry I need your help since your good with this kind of stuff." Ron smiled. "What?" Harry said confused. "I want you to spend the rest of the day with Luna find out her favorite things I'm going to make it so special when I ask her."

Harry smiled at the thought of spending the whole day with Luna. "But I thought you two were going to spend time together today." Harry said.

"Umm just tell her I had something urgent to do now go..I'm supposed to meet her in the Room of Requirement." Harry nodded "You owe me one Ron" he smirked. "I know" Ron smiled.

Harry walked out of the portrait hole then proceeded to the Room of Requirement, where a door was already visible. He walked in "Ron there...Harry?" she said confused.

"Err.. Hi Luna, um Ron told me to come tell you that he had something urgent to attend to." Harry said simply. The room had been transformed into a snowy landscape.

"Wow you thought of this" Harry said impressed. "Yeah" said Luna disappointment in her voice. "I love snow" she smiled. Harry made a mental note of that. "Um what else do you like?" Harry asked interested.

"Well Crumpled Horn Snorlackles, Flying Fantes, nargles, water cryers..." "Luna" he smiled stopping her list. "Sorry, I just get so carried away with magical creatures, um please sit." she said motioning him over.

He smiled slightly blushing as he sat next to her watching the beautiful view. "So I've heard about the ball, did Ron send you hear to ask me or is he just pretending to be busy" she said dreamily.

"Umm..how did you know? Harry looked at her. "Well I just supposed that he'd do that typical boy" she smiled. Harry laughed. "So you excited?" he asked her.

"Well no not really dances aren't really what I expected they be especially after the Yule Ball" she sighed. "Why not?" he asked. "Well it's kind of hard to be positive when your watching everyone have fun and your all alone." she sighed again.

"Oh" Harry said wishing he would have known Luna back then. "Well it wasn't fun for me either..in fact it was pretty bad actaully...ever since the Yule Ball has been known as the Fool's Ball to me." He joked.

"The fool's ball interesting" she smiled. "I'm kidding" he laughed. " I know but still that's a great name" she smiled locking eyes with him for a second. Harry blushed.

"So..I..umm..yeah." Harry said. Luna looked at him. Without hesitation Harry leaned in and pressed his lips against hers and for a few seconds they kissed passionately.

Harry loved this new feeling, it felt incredible to him. Luna pulled away and looked at him shocked before running out of the room. "Luna!" he shouted. He had really messed up now.

"Half a dozen roses and no.." Ron sat in the common room making a list. His plans were not working out like he'd thought they'd be.

Harry had still not came back he wondered how much information he got. Suddenly Hermione bursted into the room it was empty except for Ron. "We need to talk!" she said to Ron grabbing him and pulling him to the table.

"Hermione ouch..what is it!" he glared at her. Hermione grabbed Ron and pulled him into a long, deep kiss. Ron looked dazed for a second then finally came to his senses. "Bloody hell Hermione what was that?" he shouted.

" I like you Ron! There I said it after six years, I said the one thing that you never could say to me!" she glared at him. "Hermione have you gone mad!" Ron said blushing furiously.

"Don't you get it or areyou to thick to understand!" she shouted. "We've been liking each other since 3rd year! I have the guts to say what I feel!" Hermione said angrily.

"You want to know what I feel huh do you?" Ron shouted. Ron kissed Hermione very passionately on the lips. "I've wanted to kiss you like that ever since I saw you with Krum." Ron said.

"I would have but I was to much of a coward!" he shouted. "Is that what you want to hear!" he glared at her. Hermione then kissed Ron and this timeit lasted alot longer.
