Shocked Hermione gulped. "Uh what? I was sorta thinking he would ask me." Hermione let out.
"Hermione! It's the Hogwarts Ball! The girls have to ask the guys, it's a tradition." Ginny exclaimed.
"Are you serious? So it's kind of like a Sadie Hawkins Dance. Uh ok so how are you going to ask Harry to the dance?" Hermione asked.
"Not exactly sure. I was thinking maybe secretly putting a note in his book bag. More less embarrassing if he says no." Ginny said matter of factly.
Both of the girls sat in silence. This was defiantly not going to be easy.
Harry POV
As I paced the Gryffindor Common room, I heard someone walk through the porthole.
It was Ginny.
I held my breath.
She smiled at me and she walked up the girls' dormitory staircase.
I let out my breath.
The flames in the fireplace crackled loudly as someone else walked into the common room.
This time it was Ron. "Hey Harry, I was looking all over for you!" Ron exclaimed. "Well I've been here," I stated.
I took a seat in an armchair in front of the fireplace.
Ron followed. "What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing," I replied. "I was just thinking," I added quietly.
"About?" Ron pressed.
I blushed. "Erm… you know… the Hogwarts Ball." I let out.
Ron got a look of surprise on his face. "Why? Who do you want to go with?" he asked.
"…iny…" I mumbled.
"Who?" Ron asked.
I sighed. "Ginny."
Ron didn't look very surprised.
"You don't seem surprised?" Harry asked.
"Nah it was too obvious," Ron answered.
Harry cleared his throat. "I don't know how I'm going to ask her. How are you asking Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Well actually it's the – wait how'd you know about Hermione?" Ron blushed, his cheeks matching his hair.
"Never mind that! What were you saying?" Harry asked avoiding Ron's question.
Ron gulped. His cheeks were still red. "I was saying that actually it's the girls who have to ask us."
Harry groaned. "What if she doesn't ask me?"
"Oh believe me she will," Ron muttered under his breath.
"What?" asked Harry.
"Oh nothing," answered Ron.
