Chapter 3

Ron Weasley was very surprised to get a letter from the headmaster that morning. Dumbledore had invited him and Hermione to attend the Christmas ball that would take place at Hogwarts in two weeks. He said in his letter, that it would be a time when new students can get acquainted with the old. He also had mentioned himself being very happy to meet the former graduates again. The thing that bugged Ron was when he asked them to come and visit Harry while they are there, specially since he was in such a marvelous condition.

This statement bothered Ron. As long as he could remember, Dumbledore was never very clear in his speeches or as clear as Ron would have liked him to be. He always had hidden meanings behind his simple words, meaning of greater depth. He remember his first few years at Hogwarts with Harry and how they had tried to figure out the old nut. He chuckled at the thought. But he was brought down back to present by his wife's voice.

" Are you thinking of that letter again Ronald? I am sure the headmaster wants to see us, besides if Harry's condition has improved you should be happy about it. He is our best friend afterall."she said

" Yes, Mione I know and I am happy for him. But I don't know , I know Harry, I saw him last time he was a wreck..Don't you wonder what brought about the sudden change? I mean I ...you don't think he has found someone else do you? I mean I mean I am his best mate and I know Ginny would have also wanted him to move on ...But I .." he stopped giving Hermione a questioning glance. After all she was the one who had most of the answers.

" I don't know Ron," she said gently embracing him from behind. " We just have to go to this ball and find out. I am sure Harry will tell us when he feels like it. In the mean while we will be happy for his happiness, for god knows he deserves it more than anyone I know."

Ron nodded patting her hands and lifting her fingers to place a soft kiss on them.

Meanwhile Harry Potter was having yet another wonderful morning lying next to his angel.

" You are beautiful" he whispered in her ears. She giggled softly and gave him a kiss. The she scrunched up her nose in the way he found adorable and said. " And you stink Mr. Potter, you need to go have a shower!" He laughed at her comment. These last couple days had been the best days of his life. Ginny hadn't really told him anything yet. But she didn't have to,not yet. He just wanted to enjoy her as long as he could. If it were up to him he would keep her with him for all eternity. He didn't want to think of that now.

" Join Me?" he asked his eyes sparkling as he was about to enter the washroom towel in hand. She just laughed and blew him a kiss. " Maybe later...if you are good." she said. Harry pouted but went in anyway. Nothing could ruin his mood, now, his Ginny was back.

Professor McGonagall was having a hard time accepting the changes in Harry Potter. Of course she was glad that the boy was happy but talking to himself. That was one of the reasons she thought Prof. Trelawney was a nut case. Sometimes she wondered if Potter was also losing his so called sanity. She tried to mention this to Dumbledore but he dismissed her as before saying. " Let the boy be happy Minerva, I am sure we will know the reason as soon as Harry is willing to share it." Yes he could wait, she thought. He probably knew what was going on too, but Minerva was not a very patient person. Once a situation had surfaced she could not rest until she solved it.

She decided to approach Potter herself. She would be subtle of course. Yes she would do that while they decorated the hall for the ball the next day.

Harry was laughing at Ginny's antiques quietly as she tried to fix the star on the Christmas tree for the tenth time that evening. " Give it up love, that's the best that we can do." he said making sure no one sees him talking. Ginny shook her fist and was about to retort, when she was interrupted with Prof. Mcgonagall approaching. Harry turned around to greet the Professor.

" Good Evening Professor, you have done an excellent job with the house tables." he said smiling at his older colleague.

" Thankyou Mr. Potter, and if you don't mind me asking who were you talking to a moment ago?" Mcgonagall asked.

Harry looked at her surprised to have been caught and distracted at Ginny giggling from the top. " You are on your own Potter" she was mocking him.

He glared at her discreetly but smiled at Minerva. " O I was just frustrated at myself, so I was just muttering. Nothing to worry about Professor."

McGonagall eyed him shrewdly. She knew he was hiding something. She saw Sybill give her a discreet smile from the other side. O that woman thought she knew everything did she.

" You can tell me if something is going on Potter. You know that right? " she said finally realizing Harry wasn't going to say anything else.

" Of course Professor, Have a nice day." He said and with a curt nod turned to go get drinks.

Mcgonagal's eyes followed him for a while longer. She gave a gasp when she saw his lips moving and realizing the words that came out of it. " You owe me one Mrs. Potter!" Harry Potter said chuckling at thin air and sipping his drink slowly.
