Sorry it has taken so long to update, but I have had a lot of GCSE work and coursework to complete, and unfortunately that has to come before writing fanfics. I was a bit rushed when writing this chapter - still hope you all think it's alright.

Ginny's hand shook slightly as she turned the handle to enter the room of Slughorn's party was in. She didn't know why she was feeling so nervous, it felt like a swarm of butterflies were attacking her insides. Relax - she told herself, it's only a party. Yes, but one were Harry had asked her to come with him. She had always wished for something like this to happen, she thought she had gotten over Harry, but she now realised how wrong she was. Ever since Hermione had suggested that Harry might actually like her it was all he could think about. She remember the time at the yule ball when Ron had suggested Harry could take her, but she had loyally replied she had to go with Neville. How terribly disappointed she had been, but now, a few years down the line she was going with Harry. However he had made his intentions clear by adding 'just as friends'…but that's what they were Harry and her, just good friends. At least that was an improvement on 'best friends younger sister'.

As she entered the room, she saw an array of vibrant colours, there were flashing disco lights to which several people were dancing energetically to the music. There was a huge table of delicious food, that many people were hanging around, and there in the corner was Harry chatting to Ron and Hermione. As she walked towards them she saw Harry's face redden a bit…oh no she thought, he was embarrassed to be seen with her infront of Hermione and Ron. Maybe he had changed his mind and didn't want to be at the party with her. But conversely he seemed happy to see her.

'Hi Ginny' Harry said cheerily.

'Hello Harry.' She replied and then acknowledged the others 'Hi Hermione. Ron' she said giving her brother a small nod.

'Oh hi Ginny, we were wondering where you had to.' Hermione informed her.

Ginny blushed a little. She had spent a little too long deciding on what to wear. She had finally chosen a new pair of jeans and this elegant yellow top with small flowers which she had gotten for Christmas, but hadn't worn yet because she found her brothers hand-me-downs a little more comfortable. Still she had to look good for Harry tonight.

'Lost track of the time…' Ginny told them. Then changed the subject ' So seems like a good party.' Ginny said observing her surroundings.

'Well if you like watching Zacharius Smith trying to dancing.' Ron said cynically.

'Oh Ronald.' Hermione said rolling her eyes. 'Well you can come with me to get some food then'

'Why?' Ron asked questioningly.

'Because I am hungry' She said pulling Ron over to the table of food, leaving Harry and Ginny alone. She threw Ginny a strange suggestive look. Ginny knew what she was doing, she had purposely dragged Ron away because she wanted her and Harry to be left on their own for a while...

Thanks, I know its a bit short. Review please xx.
