I LOVE SNOW! School was canceled for two days because of all the ice. Literally, my dog was chewing on an icicle when she came inside the house! But I'm not complaining; I'm just happy. So hello, all of you readers who are either:

As fortunate as me to have off school

Very unlucky and have school (which you may or may not be avoiding)

Finished with school and reading fanfictions to relax from any possible work

Whoever you are, I hope that you enjoy this celebration chapter. So, KEEP CALM AND READ ON!

Chapter 7- This is just too confusing! (Dani's POV)

I slowly opened my heavy eyes; it felt like I was lifting a pile of bricks. But as soon as I blinked I immediately shut them. Unfortunately something forced my eyelids upwards. The bright light blinded me again.

"HEY! What's the deal?!"

I pulled the single finger away from my eye; it was too close and I thought it would poke my eye out. Suddenly someone grabbed me from behind. I had almost no idea what was going on; I had closed my eyes again from the blaring light. I opened my eyes just before I was dropped to the floor.

"Well, the sweet princess has awoken!" George was standing over me, pretending he was some duke in a castle. "Let it be written! What is thy first proclamation, milady?"

I chuckled slightly. What kind of duke wears an undershirt and pajama bottoms with bare feet? I decided to play along; I wanted to see what he would think of for his next action. "I decree that thy not awake thee from thy slumber so early." I proclaimed in an attempt-to-sound-British voice. George lifted his eyebrows but did not intervene with the act; he replied as a fake duke again

"Does thy lady with to join us for breakfast downstairs?"

"Yes, thank you Sir Weasley." I innocently replied.

"Does thy lady wish to get dressed for the day first?"

I furiously blushed and George was smirking. I looked down. There, in all its laciness, was the green night gown. It was way too short for my comfort, and it blew in the breeze easily. I felt my cheeks getting hotter even more.

"OUT! OUT I SAY!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as George fled the scene. I quickly slammed the door shut and turned on my super-hearing. There was some thumping, so I decided to check it out. "Going ghost." I whispered my old catch phrase unconsciously. The blue and white rings split around my middle and replaced the horrid nightgown with my hazmat jumpsuit. I breathed a sigh of relief and intangibly went through the floor and into the kitchen, where George thumped down the stairs. He looked tired, yet he also held an expression on his face that read, 'I'm up to something, and it's so big you're going to explode." I faintly remembered myself once looking like that, but I brushed it off. And listened.

"Dani should be heading down any minute now." Ginny spun around in her seat and gaped at her older brother with a dreading expression.

"Please don't tell me you woke her up."

"Yeah. Like I said, she should be down any minute now."

"Oh no." Gin's lip trembled. "You saw it."

"Yes," George held a faint blush of his own, "I did." The whole table looked interested in their conversation now. I flew back to the bedroom to get changed before Ginny decided to come up. I didn't need any more drama right now. Or another headache.

GEORGE'S POV

"Idiot." I mumbled. I was mentally banging myself in the head as I walked slowly down the stairs. I couldn't believe I had just barged into the girls' room with a damn thought! Of course, that's the way of me and Fred. We don't think; we just do. So I wasn't thinking when I barged on Dani, I wasn't thinking the right thing when I saw Dani wearing Ginny's nightgown (it was more like, 'isn't that the nightgown that Ginny bought by mistake when she said that it wasn't suitable? Actually, Dani looks kinda cute in it…'), and I certainly wasn't thinking when I started acting like some robin hood to her. And the way that she yelled at me, I don't think she will be very happy with me for some time… *sigh*

Okay, I admit that I sort of like Dani. As in, 'LIKE LIKE'! From the moment I noticed her when she spoke up that first day; I was talking with Fred about the business from Harry's money (hint, hint) so I didn't see her when mum brought her in the house. Every time since then I get this fluttery feeling in my stomach when I look at her. But even when I tried to ignore the feeling, I couldn't help myself; it just made me want her even more. Sometimes I find myself wishing someone will just lock her and me in a broom closet and lock the door with a spell stronger than Alohomora! Crazy, right?

I don't know how anyone will handle this. Mum will freak and complain that I'm too young (I'm seventh year people!). My brothers, Harry, and Lee Jordan will congratulate me, probably for snagging a girl who didn't need payment. Fred will just gape that something is different between me and him. Ginny will squeal. Hermione and Dad will lecture me on how to date properly without breaking up. Sirius will collect all his bets; he must have at least two by now. Remus, Snape, and Moody will tend to stay away from messing in our relationship. With Dumbledore and Tonks, you can never guess what he will do next. And Dani… I don't know. I hope that she likes me back. I need her to like me back. Otherwise I won't be able to handle life- ever.

And suddenly, with a million thoughts and questions zooming inside my mind, I was in the kitchen. I sat down after transfiguring a spoon to a red cushion on my chair. Not knowing what to do in the awkward silence, I dumbly mentioned, "Dani should be heading down any minute now." That got Ginny to spin around in her chair and gape at me with a trembling lip.

"Please don't tell me you woke her up."

"Yeah," I gulped, "Like I said, she should be down any minute now."

"Oh no." Ginny stared at me with frightful eyes, "you saw it." Fred, Harry, and Sirius immediately wiped around in their own chairs and stared at us. That also got the attention of everyone else. Great.

"Yes, I did." I looked away, shameful that I had to repeat it in front of my little sister and the rest of our family. I felt my cheeks growing warm. I silently prayed that no one had noticed. Clearly, they did.

"Brother, what did you see?" Fred was wearing a grin so big that I was only slightly worried about the enlarging spell I knew he had used. "It's nothing to be embarrassed about, right?"

Just then the girl I was blushing about jumped down the stairs slowly. She picked up the pace as mum whisked the bacon down towards Ginny and me. Dani slid to the opposite side of Ginny and hastily grabbed a strip of crisp bacon. When she saw me on Ginny's other side, she tilted her head towards the other side of the table. Her raven bangs hid her eyes, and I looked away. My only thought was, "Wow, she looks beautiful." Immediately I excused myself from the table, then regretted doing it because that would only make everyone else more curious.

"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." I was in the hallway, muttering under my breath and aiming my wand to my chest. I was planning on stupefying myself so I would have any explanation on leaving abruptly. But just as I was about perform the defensive hex, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw pretty little Dani.

"Look," I started, "about earlier…" She made her hand look like a crab's claw snapping closed. She waved it in front of my face, and I shut up.

"Just… can we forget about it?" she asked nervously. I was stunned, she used to be this fun and confident person! What happened?

"Umm… sure. Yeah, let's just pretend it never happened…" I was intently staring at my shoes. But my mind was screaming, "NOO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Dani strangely smiled and replied in a refreshing voice, "All I'm asking is that we don't know each other much yet; we should probably become better friends before we do anything like that again." She looked like the cheeriest person in the world. Must be a mood thing only girls have…

"Let's start over." I offered, "My name is George Weasley."

She laughed, "Hi. I'm Danielle Time."

"Wait- I thought your name was Dani?!"

"It is- just don't call me my full name unless you want a boot in the face." She was in fact wearing combat boots. I gulped then just chuckled.

"So…" I pondered out of the blue, "How 'bout some quittich?"

She flashed a beautiful smile, "Sure. Let's go."

DANI'S POV

I decided I liked George. I like him as a friend. I don't need a crush with someone like him, though. (Not yet, at least!) That's why I grabbed his arm and bolted down towards the kitchen again. I was still hungry, in case you've forgotten. So when everyone turned our way when we burst open the door, I ignored them. When they snickered at my alarming reach for the bacon plate, I ignored them. When I took the whole plate of bacon out to the quittich field upstairs, I ignored Sirius's shouts. (NOT THE BACON! DON'T TAKE THE BACON! NOOO!) And when I didn't hear George coming up while I got the brooms and snitch ready, I turned on my super-hearing. This time I heard George say something along the lines of, "I don't understand girls. I just don't."

I laughed until I couldn't breathe.

I guess I've been in a romance funk lately. (Friends keep talking about a guy who they think is cute except I don't see it!) Anyway, when I say Dani has super-hearing I'm talking about her ghost specialties.

I'm sorry I haven't been updating as often; I sprained my knuckles. (hot jolts of pain whenever I try to move fingers) Anyway, I have to wait about two more days for them to be normal, I think. So right now I took the bandage wrap off and started typing. (it feels good…) So yeah, the words kinda flowed. Anyway, my fingers still hurt if I bend them back too much, so I still have to be careful and slower. (so annoying; I've had to type up projects and reports all week and I've been spending hours punching one letter at a time!) (in case you're wondering, I sprained my knuckles by stupidly attempting to dance. Then my cat messed up my footing. Then I was confused while shutting the door on my cat. TRANSLATION: I slammed door on knuckles, bending them back until I heard a small crack. Fortunately, I'm a strong person, so there was no screaming; just a howl of pain.)

PLEASE REVIEW! (Or at least wish my hand well!) I'M GETTING LONLEY! :(

Here's something that popped into my head just now:

How to annoy Snape:

-give him shampoo at Christmas or another holiday

-talk back EX: "I'm not late, I'm just a few minutes after early!"

-ask him if he has a social life other than being a fake death-eater

-call him a "greasy git" in his earshot and then snigger at it

-make a Valentine's Day card. Sign it "Love, the Gayest Dumbledore you will ever know". Give it to Snape, making sure he doesn't see you.

-call him "snivillis"

-ask why he appears evil even though he's with the order

-give him the half-blood prince potions book after you scribble odd comments and black out important words

-ask what he thinks of Sirius. Record the conversation secretly. Give it to Sirius. (warning: may annoy Sirius as well)

-make a list of "why Snape will forever be a virgin". Give it to him.

-enlist him in a muggle anger management class

-tell him you heard that Bellatrix escaped Azkaban and is going to kill him

-dump Neville's latest potion on Snape's head

-evil laugh randomly; mutter the words "marauders" every time he passes you

-say you taught him everything he knows

-tell him you're going out. Ask if he wants a souvenir happy meal.
