Chapter :5
Hermione knew that Ron was in fact trying his best to make her laugh. She was trying to make out the joke that he was trying to tell her but for the life of her, she could not get a single thing that he was saying but instead merely nodded,a smile plastered on her face while her mind was off somewhere...
She knew she should be happy and excited at the fact that finally Ron, the boy whom she had fallen in love with all these time has finally noticed her and trying his best to act like he is in fact interested in her but ...She still cared for Harry. Very much. And as much as she was happy with the greater attention given to her by Ron, a part of her was still wondering about her other best friend,whom she had not seen since morning and it was nearing evening soon. Maybe he ran into some trouble...Maybe he's embarrassed over what she did yesterday Duh Oh man...
"...and that's when he said,if witches ever..."
"Have you seen Harry? "Hermione interrupted without really thinking.
"No. He's probably meeting Dumbledore...", muttered Ron bitterly much to the surprise of Hermione.
"What did you just say,Ron? Maybe he's...Maybe he needs our help somewhere... Maybe we should in fact look for him.. Maybe.."
" I told ya about 5 times already. I don't know where he is. Come on Hermione, let's just...hang out at the common room.It's Christmas Eve anyway..."Ron said, and with a little hesitation, he grabbed Hermione's hand before leading their way back to the common room,having spent their day just walking around Hogwarts,meeting and confirming the attendance of their friends and just.. being Ron and Hermione.
Hermione blushed at the sight of their clutched hands. She knew that Ron was definitely making the effort and it showed. It wasn't that she didn't really appreciate it. It was just that it was quite too sudden for her. The day before it was the same Ron who was making out with some random girl and here he was, the same Ron, acting quite different. Maybe he was just playing with her... Reluctantly, she pulled out her hands from Ron's grip and gave the excuse that she'd meet him in the common room. She'd better go and meet the clear expert in this arena. Who else but Ginny Weasly.

"Hey, look who's on fire. First my brother... Now Harry... I won't be surprise if Dean will be under your spell too.. Heck, even if he is under your spell.. Make sure he's not UNDER you..." Ginny grinned, loving the look of shock on her best friend's face.
"GINNY! It's not like that ok...You know how I feel about Ron.. And Harry.. I mean, it was grea... Shall we not talk about it," Hermione said in exasperation as she laid on her bed.
"Oh my god.. You totally like Harry's kiss huh.. Tell me.. Was it hot.. Did you tremble.. I think I heard you moan..." Ginny laughed mischievously.
"NO!! I didn't...Did I?Ginny.. drop it!"
"Nuh- uh.. I won't til you tell me the truth.Girl to girl.I want the truth. Cross your heart and hope to die kinda thing..."
Hermione turned to look at her roommate who was seated opposite her, brushing her long mane of red hair, curiosity obviously written on her face. With a sigh, she gave in. Ginny was too good of a friend to keep secrets from.Anyway, by the looks of it,she needed help..
"Wellll... Promise me you won't kill me for this.. But... Ermm..I felt dizzy when I kissed him.It's like... this tingle that spreads throughout my body and... It's unexpected. We are friends you know...
"Yep..Close friends I know.. But close friends don't kiss like that...Close friends don't make you moan..."
"GINNY!!!!!!!!!"
"Ok ok,little miss prudish...So let's continue with your sensational kiss, that even I'm feeling a little jealous..."
"Huh... Wait. What did you say?Jealous?" Hermione said incredulously.
Ginny looked at her fingernails and avoided looking at her friend's face,not willing to answer. Hermione knew better, and threw a cushion at Ginny's face.
"Alright alright! I am.. A bit...He was my you know... and I didn't get to.. you know..."
"I see...," Hermione said, with a sudden smugness in her voice, even she was surprised.
"Well.. it was..how shall I put it..."Hermione said slowly, carefully thinking of the right words to use.
"Electrifying? Hot?
"Erm..nice.."
"Just nice???"
"Okok! It was electrifying..."
Hermione felt her face getting warmer and warmer by the second. Ginny,amused by Hermione's reaction got up and sat by the edge of Hermione's bed. She knew what was going through her friend's mind.
"Ginny, I mean, I still like Ron, a lot... And now this... Are kisses...erm...Normal kisses suppose to be that way?"
"Well, the way you put it...I have to admit, as jealous as I am... that's chemistry we're talking about..."
Hermione buried her head into her pillow. Ginny merely stroked Hermione's hair and muttered a piece of advice that was not unlike Ginny.
"Well, don't fret girl...it's just a kiss..Tomorrow's the party...You have that drop dead gorgeous dress that you bought that day and we are so gonna be the babes of the night...You are in need of a makeover,dear...To charm the socks off my brother... "
Hermione gave a reluctant smile. There was one thing that she didn't want to tell Ginny though... The fact that she was sure that Harry's heart was pounding as hard and as frantically as hers did when she placed her palm against her chest when it happened. As clueless as she was about the matters of the heart, a part of her knew that there was more to it as reluctant as she might want to admit. Closing her eyes as she laid her head on her soft pillow, she was not surprised to see those green eyes greeting her as dreams began to drift into her mind.

Ginny was writing a letter to her parents in Romania in her dormitory. Hermione was already sleeping like a baby and it was still pretty early so Ginny decided that it was best anyway to reply to her mum's letter. It was taking her longer than expected. Firstly, she wasn't into writing as much as her best friend Hermione was and secondly, she was distracted by the sound of music coming from the boy's dormitory. Hermione must be really tired,being able to sleep through the music...Giving a frustrated sigh, she threw her pen and paper aside and jumped off her bed. The guys ought to lower their volumes. It was driving her nuts.
A few hurried steps brought her towards the shut door of the boy's dorm. The sounds of a guitar... hmmm...Interesting...She opened the door of the boys' room bit by bit... Tucking her head inside quietly, she took a look inside. The sight and sounds of what greeted her broke her into a smile.
Harry was sitting on his bed, eyes closed, singing out a tune that was so melodious,it brought out goosebumps on her skin. Dean was busy strumming a guitar and Harry was just...Amazing...Ginny was surprised that Harry could even belt out tune..
My world is closing in I'm so alone
The door is locked and nobody's home
Desire is the key that I must own
Emotions got me losing control
I'm losing control...
The smooth tunes was enough to make Ginny swooned but what laid beyond the lyrics of the song made her teary-eyed... It was...his song... His pain...
But I know
It's the way that I must live
Even thoughIt's so unclear, so unfair
God I knowThere's a path for everyone
I must believe and keep holding on
So this was the real Harry. His life in a song... No one understanding him The pain that he goes through...
I'm wishing I was somebody else
This world left me all by myself
Now why do they keep playing with my mind
Trying to break me down trying to make me blind
But somehow, I managed to see...
So this was the real Harry James Potter.. Sensitive, in pain and holding on for what's been destined for him.Her hero. Her saviour. Her old flame that somehow managed to make her swoon all over again at that very moment with such a voice of an angel. Closing the door quietly before heading back to her room, Ginny was lost in her own thoughts. Maybe she wasn't really as over him as she thought she was... Nah... I've got my Dean now...Ginny thought to herself...
As she walked back to her room,a cheeky little voice of hers sounded in her headBesides, as jealous as she was over Hermione's kiss...Who's to say she didn't have the ability to make Harry swoon all over her? Just because I'm attached,who's to say I can't do a little bit of this and that...and besides, it's Christmas... And something interesting and naughty always happen on Christmas... She looked back over her shoulders,towards the boys'room and grinned. A little bit of fun won't hurt anyone...And she knew things would turn out exactly the way she would want it to be.
Ginny Weasly had the perfect plan brewed up in her head.. Ooohh.. Santa would surely knock her off from his Nice list... hehehe...
