Ginny's POV:

After Harry and I walked back up to the ball, everyone was heading back to the common rooms. We ran up and blended in with a bunch of Gryffindors, and soon we went up to our separate dorms.

I couldn't believe how amazing that had been, and I was laughing at how wrong my first thoughts of the ball were.

I couldn't stop smiling as I took of my dress and wiped of my makeup. I was in my own blissful oblivion.

Hermione stumbled into the room, and she looked just like I did. I wonder if her night was just as incredible as mine.

We just looked at each other smiling hugely. We started laughing for no reason except for the fact that we were so happy.

Since I was already in my pajamas, I helped Hermione out of her dress and she told me about her night.

"Tell me everything." I said as I hung up her dress in the closet.

Hermione's POV:

"Tell me everything." she said as she sweetly put my dress away.

Everything, wow, where do I start? And would she really like to know everything? I wasn't sure, I figured I'd better ease her into it.

"Well," I started, "he brought me down to the ball, as you know…"

"Mmhhmm.." she said unfazed, "Come on tell me the good stuff, I won't freak out."

Alright, if she says so, she seems like she doesn't care that I'm talking about her brother. "Well, so you know how he asked me to dance, we danced for a while, and um," I said starting to blush.

"What? Give me every little detail!" she said noticing the blush.

"He, he asked me if I wanted to go out to the garden." I said, and now my face was about the shade of a raspberry.

"Oh, ok, I know where this is going," she said with a wink. "But I want to know, you deserve to be able to gush all about your night, and then you might be able to hear about how mine went…." she said with a mischievous grin.

Feeling a little stupid for being so gushy and girly, but not caring because I was so happy, I filled her in with EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of my night.

Retelling it made all the glory and ,magic come back. It was like I was reliving it. I could see myself on his arm, going down the staircase, thinking about how nice he looked dressed up, with his charming smile that I loved so much, taking up his whole face.

I felt myself being led to the dance floor again, and him pulling me close, as a slow song came on. He truly was a good dancer, and I wondered where he had learned.

When we swayed to the music I fit so perfectly into his chest and never wanted to leave. I laid my head down on his quidditch toned chest, and closed my eyes. (I couldn't see Fred and George making kissy faces at us that way,)

I was worried tonight would be awkward but it wasn't at all. I felt his breath in m ear as he whispered "Come on, lets go in the garden where they can't see us." he obviously was getting annoyed by the twins too.

He held onto my hand and led me into the garden patio, where we could still slightly hear the music. We sat down on the bench and I sighed in content.

"Well," he said, "tonight has been far better than last time." he looked down as he said this almost as though he regretted something. "Yes it was." I added, knowing how long I had waited for this.

He looked up in surprise, "Wait, you had a better time….. this year?" he asked in disbelief.

"Why yes," I answered confused, "by a great margin." he looked as though, he had won the lottery and bought the whole honeydukes stock.

"Really?" he asked, "I mean really?" "Yes Ron, why is that so hard to believe?" "Well it's just," he said embarrassed,

"I um, beat myself up for years for letting Krum ask you first, and I broke a lot of limbs off my little figure of him, just `cuz I figured you had a great time and you loved him, and I had no chance left, and I always thought even after tonight he would've been your first love and I'd just be the silly sidekick friend who was madly in love with you and you just put up with."

He breathed a big sigh, and blushed red, "Yeah, and now you think I'm a creeper stalker and I'll just go, can we just forget this ever happened." he started to get up and even though I was still in shock I got up and grabbed his arm, I pulled his face down to mine.

When our lips met I hoped he understood whet I was trying to say, that I loved him too, I always had. I had just been waiting for him to say that one thing.

The kiss was everything our first kiss should've been, and when we broke apart really in need of air, I was in awe.

"Wow," he whispered, and a big grin spread across his face, "you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

"I think I have an idea,' I said grinning just as big. I held onto his hand tight and I pulled him down on the bench next to me.

"I never loved Victor." I started off with, he needed to know. "I wanted you to ask me to the ball more than anything, but he asked and he was nice, and he actually liked me. Me Hermione Granger, it was nice just to know someone did. I had a nice time with him, but the only thing I will always remember about that night, was that fight we had, and blood boiling it was, how I woke up the next morning, and all I wanted was to be your best friend again. How I couldn't stand it in third year when we didn't speak, and I wasn't going through that again over a famous quidditch player. I never have thought of you as a silly sidekick. I don't put up with you, I love spending time with you , you are an important part of my life and I've loved you ever since I heard you faced the giant spiders for me. I had an amazing time tonight and I'll never forget it."

Wow, that was a long speech but the way he's looking at me is all worth it. Looking joyous, he adds;

"I knew I loved you since second year, we were in the library one day, I was bugging you to help me cheat and finish my essay, but you were just sucked into your book. A spider was crawling around my desk and I started freaking out, I yelled for help and you just slammed your book on it and started reading again without a second glance. I knew then you were perfect." He started laughing and I joined in.

"So I guess spiders are just a source of love then." I added smiling. "For us anyway," he said. "come on, let's go inside."

He pulled me in by the hand and we walked up with the rest of the Gryffindors to the common room.

At our separate dorm staircases, he pulled me in for a quick but passionate kiss, and whispered, "I'll see you in the morning."

"It was perfect." I finished my story with, and Ginny stared at me in awe. "You guys are an adorable couple," she said giggling, "I'm so happy for you two."

I could tell she was impatient to tell me about her night, so I let her start to retell her own little fairy tale.

I swear I was listening I really was, but my thoughts drifted once in awhile, to a certain redhead in the boy's dorm, who was probably going over our night in his own boyish way to his own best friend..

Ron's POV:

I cannot believe that just happened. I told her I loved her, and she didn't run away! She loves me too!

Tonight was perfect. Harry has the same foolish grin on his face that I do, uh oh. He must have had a good night, with my sister.

Not too good I hope. Oh well, I don't care, I love Hermione, and she loves me too! Nothing can upset me now.

"Good night mate?" Harry asks smiling huge. I answer his smile, and say, "Oh yeah, and I'm guessing you did too." I say with a warning glare.

He just smiles bigger and says, "I told her I love her." he watches my reaction. Wow. He loves her. My sister.

It's not just some game for him, not just some girl he fancies. Before he can react I give a bone crushing hug.

"Whoa," he said laughing, "ok, I know you're happy but stop hugging me." We laugh and I say "I'm get best man right?" "Of course," he replies a little more serious than I expected.

"Same goes for me right?" I whip around, he's smiling but his eyes show he knows how much I feel for our gorgeous best friend.

I blush "You know it." I say looking down. "Harry?" I ask timidly, "Yeah mate?" "I told her I loved her too,"

"Yeah, I know." he adds unsurprised, "You have for forever, and so has she," Well ok maybe he had anticipated that but what about the next part?

"And…" I said, "I kissed her." He didn't look surprised, but he looked like that was less likely. (weird right?)

"You did?" "Yeah." he nodded and said, "That's cool." and then we went to our separate beds and never talked about that night again.

Before I slept, all I could think about was how a certain curly haired girl in the other dorm, was probably reliving that whole night to my sister in her own girly way.

A/N: Yay! You just know I had to have some Ron/Hermione fluff in the story1 I had those spider ideas for a while. What did you think? I'm thinking just the epilogue left. *tear* as always, read and review! Love to all, and I hope 2010 is awesome for all of you!
