Chapter 14 Plans
The next day…
It was Thursday. Surprisingly, even though it was October, fall had already left. Outside was as cold as Voldermort's heart.
Hermione didn't seem to care she just wrapped a blanket around herself and sat in front of the fire. Harry walked down the stairs and saw her on the couch. He crept over trying not to disturb her thoughts and then kissed the top of her head.
"What were you thinking about?" he whispered.
Hermione blushed. "you"
"What my devilishly handsome looks?" he said arrogantly with his chin raised high.
Hermione laughed at him. "What are you trying to be funny now too?"
"What! I've always been funny. How dare you insult me?"
She laughed once again.
"Were you thinking about us on the internet?"
"Yes. I'm really glad we got to talk. I got to know you so well. I don't think anyone else could know more than I do." She paused thinking, "I even know about the mouse that you thought you could keep as a pet in your closet but got out and your aunt killed it." She laughed thinking about it.
"Hey don't mock Alfred! I loved him!"
"Yes I know that.
"I'm glad we met that day too. I really love you!"
"I love you too Harry!"
"Hey we should go on a date!"
"That would be fun" she smiled.
"Hermione would you be my date to the Halloween ball next Saturday?"
"Oh I would love to!"
"Great! What do you want to go as?"
"Harry!" she yelled in panic, "I'm head girl and you are head boy!"
"I know that. That's why we are alone we have our own common room."
"We have to plan the Halloween ball! I completely forgot about it. I was thinking about… about… well actually you. But we need to get down to business." She summoned her things to she could begin organizing.
"Hermione you are forgetting something."
"What?"
"We have classes in half an hour."
"Crap! What are we going to do? We have so much to do!"
"Let's go talk to Dumbledore. He will help us. Maybe we could get today off from classes!" he said perking up at his last comment.
"Okay come on!" she rushed to the portrait hole.
"Hermione you need to use that massive brain of yours. You are not dressed yet. You are still in your PJ's"
"Crap again! I forgot. Harry what would I do with out you?"
"Forget the simple things and embarrass yourself." He put it simply, "Go get dressed. So we can talk to Dumbledore.
Hermione rushed upstairs and put on some formfitting jeans and a maroon v-neck sweater. With the swish of her wand she did her hair and light makeup. She ran back down the stairs and grabbed Harry's arm dragging him out the portrait hole.
They were running towards the great hall because they expected Dumbledore to be at breakfast, then suddenly Hermione ran into something solid turning a corner. This in turn knocked her down as well as Harry. Hermione scrambled to get off of Harry so he wouldn't be hurt. Once she was up she offered him her hand. He gladly took it and stood up. She kissed him and apologized for knocking him over. Turning around she saw that she had run into exactly who they were looking for.
"Good Morning!" Dumbledore spoke. The sparkle in his eye increased when he saw them kiss. His plan was working.
"Oh Professor! I'm so sorry. We were going to see you."
"What was so important that you had to run?"
"Long story" Harry answered then he started up again and quickly retold the story, "In short we met on the internet, fell in love, found out it was our best friend and then avoided each other, finally came to our senses, kissed and then this morning I asked her to the Halloween Ball, she remembered that we had to plan it." He finished out of breath. Dumbledore didn't seem surprised.
"Harry thought you might be able to give us today off from classes because we have so much to plan and I want this to be a great Ball."
"Well Ms. Granger under these circumstances I believe that this could be arranged. I will notify both of your teachers. Please don't forget again."
"I promise I wont. Thank you so much!"
"Thanks Dumbledore." Harry called as they walked back to their room.
When they got there, Hermione promptly sat down on the couch to plan the dance. Harry walked over and sat right next to her so he could see her papers.
"Ok so. It should be a costume ball and we could give prizes for the best ones!"
"Sounds great." Harry replied. He couldn't help but admire how great she looked. She had always looked good but she never showed it off till the makeover. He could still remember when he saw her.
Flashback…
I wonder what all Ginny did. Hermione has always been pretty. Ron has had a crush on her since third year. She is a great best friend. She is always kind and compassionate, and of course bloody smart.
She walked back over to Hermione and blocked her from view with the cloak. They walked over and Ginny announced, "The old Hermione is gone and I am proud to introduce the brand new Hermione!" We all started clapping as Ginny removed the cloak. Hermione stood there with her new hair-do, makeup, tanned and charmed legs, in her high heels showing them off and her short flippy skirt with her green tank top and a simple abalone flower necklace (like in Hawaii) as well as beautifully done nails. We all stopped and stared. I was drooling along with Ron and all the other boys except Mr. Weasly. Mrs. Weasly was the first to break the silence.
"OH MY GOSH YOU ARE GORGEOUS! Dear you look wonderful!"
We all snapped out of it and Ron became the color of a turnip because he realized that he was drooling. We all profusely agreed with Mrs. Weasly and told her as such.
"I told you, you would look gorgeous and that it would all be worth it" Ginny proudly stated.
"Yup! You are right! Today was tons of fun. I also must admit that I certainly look better."
"BETTER! Better? Bloody Hell Hermione YOU ARE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!" I boldly corrected her.
"Thanks" She timidly replied while blushing.
"Let's go home and eat!" Ron interrupted.
"Ron, all you can think about is your stomach!" Ginny scolded.
End flashback…
Harry came back to reality. Hermione was still talking to him about the dance. He couldn't help himself. He slowly moved in and kissed her neck. It was sweet and smelled of roses. He kept going.
Hermione smiled at the first kiss but then realized he wasn't stopping so she brought her shoulders up to block her neck.
"Harry. We really need to work on the dance."
"I don't want to plan the dance I want to kiss you. You look beautiful today, as well as every other day."
"Thanks that was sweet. I promise we can do this later but first we need to plan the dance."
Harry saw the look on her face and knew that he should stop because she was very determined to finish planning the dance. At least he could have some fun later. He gave her one more kiss and said, "We better finish this later."
A/N
Hey sorry I've been busy so here is chapter 14 finally.
It took me a while to write this today because I got my second period while in the middle of writing. My first was in February. I'm 15. I HATE my period! I get moody, cramps for all 8-9 days and a really heavy flow! Sorry if that was TMI.
The dance is coming up and I was wondering if there were any songs you want.
Did you like it? REVIEW!
