Chapter 5: The Prank Strike Two
Re-cap:"Why's that?" Sakura asked. "Well, let's just say even here in the Wizarding World, everybody isn't exactly all that nice." Ginny explained. "Oh, okay. I'll watch my back." Sakura said while smiling at Ginny. Ginny smiled back at her. "We're here." She said as she opened the door. They went in and Ginny led Sakura to her bed. "I'll go out so you can change into your uniform, okay?" Ginny said. Sakura just nodded. Then Ginny went out. Once she was out, Sakura smiled to herself. 'Maybe I'll like it here in Hogwarts.' She thought as she changed into her uniform.
In The Common Room…
Normal POV
Ginny went down again to the Common Room to wait for Sakura and saw that it was already empty so she assumed everyone went back to their classes or slept or did whatever they do. As Ginny sat down on the couch, she heard the portrait door open and looked back to see that the figure was none other than Dean Thomas himself. Ginny rolled her eyes and cursed mentally and pretended she didn't saw a thing.
Dean saw Ginny rolled her eyes and completely ignoring him. He didn't even bother to try talking to her since they both know that she was angry at him. He looked at her again and saw she was reading a book. The ones she would always read when she wanted to be alone or when she was spending time with him on his lap. Dean winced at that thought. Then he started to have second thoughts.
'So, why DID he cheat on Ginny? She was perfect in everything. Maybe too perfect for him so he got scared and did those. Or maybe he was just a real prat who broke a girl's heart and didn't even have the decency to apologize properly no matter how many times she'd push him away.'
He shook those thoughts away and hurriedly went back to the boys' dorms, not even bothering to look at Ginny because he knew he'd feel guilty and he might do something that'd make her even angrier.
As soon as he climbed the stairs, he ran into Harry, who was going down. None of them said a word and just walked past each other. Dean went up and Harry went down.
Harry's POV
As I went downstairs, I ran past Dean. Not even bothering to look at him. Once I was down, I saw Ginny reading a book. She looked so peaceful sitting there. I could stare at her foreve- wait! What am I thinking? This is Ron's younger sister we're talking about! 'She's your best mate's sister!' His thought said. I shook away my thoughts about Ginny and went to sit beside her.
"Hey." I said as Ginny looked at me. She smiled at me.
"Hey." She said.
"What're you doing here? Where's Sakura?" I asked.
"Oh, she's changing into her uniform. I'm just waiting for her to finish so we could go to Professor McGonagall. "She said and I nodded.
There was an awkward silence between us that made me uncomfortable. So, I asked her again. But this time, it was about Quidditch.
"Did you like the new strategies?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Ginny asked while looking up from her book.
"Did you like the new strategies we practiced in Quidditch a while ago?" I asked again.
"Yeah. I like it. I think if we keep this up, we might win against Ravenclaw." Ginny said as I chuckled.
"I hope so." I said. Ginny looked at me with a weird face.
"What?" I asked.
"You hope so?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Harry, the strategies and new moves were brilliant! It was fantastic! Everyone says so. No wonder they chose you as captain." She said while grinning.
I scratched the back of my head, feeling embarrassed.
"Well, er.. Thanks." I mumbled while looking down.
"No problem." Ginny said with a charming smile.
I looked at her and she looked back. Basically, we just stared at each other's eyes. She was looking at my emerald ones, and I was looking at her chocolate brown ones. I never really noticed how Ginny looked so pretty once you get to look at her up-close.
'How come I've never noticed her before?' A voice in my head asked. 'Get a hold of yourself, Harry! SHE'S YOUR BEST MATE'S SISTER, for Merlin's sake!' another thought nagged. I looked away, shaking my head and shaking the thoughts about Ginny and out of the corner of my eye, she started to drift her eyes back down to her book.
I opened my mouth to ask her another question but a voice interrupted me saying, "Harry? Ginny? What are you two doing?"
My eyes traveled for the owner. And in front of us, there's Sakura in her Hogwarts uniform.
Normal POV
"Sorry. Did I interrupt something?" Sakura said, slightly smiling.
"Oh, no. Harry and I were just talking, right Harry?" Ginny said while smiling a bit.
"Yeah." Harry said.
"Oh, I see. Well, Ginny. Is Harry coming with us to Professor McGonagall?" Sakura asked again.
"I don't know. Are you, Harry?" Ginny asked while looking at Harry.
"Of course I am." Harry said while grinning.
The two girls just giggled.
"Alright, let's go." Ginny said and they went outside the Gryffindor Common Room and went to Professor McGonagall's Office.
Outside Professor McGonagall's Office…
Normal POV
"I'm feeling a bit queasy." Sakura said.
"Why's that?" Ginny asked.
"Honestly, I don't know." Sakura said.
"Well, that's weird." Harry said.
"Just go in." He added and Sakura just nodded.
She knocked on the door and said, "Professor McGonagall? it's me, Sakura Shirobara." The door opened and McGonagall stepped outside.
"Ah, Ms. Shirobara. It's good to know you're all settled in." She said and she looked at Harry and Ginny.
"Good afternoon, Mister Potter, Miss Weasley." She said.
"Good afternoon, Professor." Harry and Ginny said at the same time.
"Why don't you three come in?" She said as she opened her office door and led them in.
Once they were inside, they sat down in a few chairs.
"Ms. Shirobara." McGonagall said.
"Yes?" Sakura asked, while standing up.
"Oh, please sit down." McGonagall said. Sakura felt embarrassed and just smiled cheekily at her as she sat back down.
"Ms. Shirobara, here are your class schedule for your whole year here at Hogwarts." McGonagall said as she handed down a piece of parchment to Sakura.
Sakura took at it and smiled at McGonagall.
"Thank you, ma'am." McGonagall smiled back at Sakura.
"I seem to notice you have a habit of smiling, Ms. Shirobara." She said.
"Oh, I do?" Sakura asked and when McGonagall nodded, she giggled.
"Ah yes, Ms. Shirobara there was a package addressed for you." McGonagall said.
"A package? For me?" Sakura asked.
McGonagall muttered a spell and a few seconds, she was holding an average-looking box that was covered in a white wrapper that was decorated with pink flower prints it also had a pink ribbon tied around it.
"For you." McGonagall said as she handed the box to Sakura.
Sakura took it from her.
"Thank you, Professor. But who is it from, Professor?" She asked.
"The card doesn't say?" McGonagall asked. Sakura looked for the card and when she saw who the gift was from, she just smiled.
"Who is it from?" Ginny asked. Sakura gave Ginny the box.
"Read it." She said.
"Okay?" Ginny said as she took the box and read the card.
The card said:
Dear Flower,
I'm sorry for not going with you there in Hogwarts. But something urgent came up at work so I had to go there. Believe me, honey I REALLY wanted to go with you but like I said, there was something urgent that happened at work. I'm really sorry, Flower.
I'll make it up to when you come back. So for now, please accept the gift I sent to you. I hope you'll let me off the hook this time.
Again, I'm so sorry, honey. I love you Flower. Take care of yourself there and eat properly. And, make lots of friends, okay?
Sincerely,
Daddy
PS, I'll owl you every Saturday (in your time) since your phone don't work there.
Ginny looked at Sakura and said, "Oh, so it's from your dad." Sakura just nodded.
"Well, don't worry, Sakura, I'm sure that your dad is now trying extra hard for your surprise. Just stay positive, okay?" Ginny said with a smile.
"Yeah. Thanks, Ginny." Sakura said.
"Well, I think it's about time the three of you go back to the Common Room." McGonagall said as the three teens looked at her.
"Yes, professor." The three of them said in unison and they went outside McGonagall's office and went back to the Common Room.
In The Common Room…
Normal POV
Once Sakura, Harry and Ginny were inside the Common Room, Hermione and Ron came up to them and both looking worried.
"There you are! I was worried that maybe something happened to you three." Ron said.
"Ron, we just left for a few minutes!" Ginny said while rolling her eyes at him.
"Still! You didn't say where you were going." He shot back.
"We went to Professor McGonagall's office." Harry butted in as the four of them looked at him.
"What?" Harry asked.
"What did you do this time Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Hey, I didn't do anything!" He said.
"Uh-huh..Really now?" Hermione said.
"Harry didn't do anything, Hermione. He just went with me and Ginny to Professor McGonagall's office to let her know I'm settled in." Sakura said.
"Oh." Hermione said and Harry stuck out her tongue at her childishly. Then the five of them went over by the fireplace and sat down on the couch and chairs. Hermione noticed the box Sakura was holding.
"What's that, Sakura?" Hermione asked while pointing the box she was a carrying.
"A gift from my dad." She said.
"Did you open it already?" Hermione asked.
"No, I haven't." Sakura said while looking at the box.
"What do you think what's in i-ouch!" Ron shrieked as Hermione pinched his arm.
"Ronald Weasley! That's very rude of you!" Hermione scolded.
"What? I was just asking!" Ron said. Sakura giggled.
"It's alright, Hermione. I was about to open it anyway." She said.
"Blimey, 'Mione! You over-react too much." Ron said.
"Oh, I do, do I?" Hermione asked.
"Yes you do! Always!" Ron asked while standing up.
"No, I don't you daft git!" Hermione shot back and she was standing now to face-to-face with Ron.
"Are they always like that?" Sakura asked while looking at the bickering Ron and Hermione. Ginny and Harry just sighed.
"Apparently, yes. All the time." Harry said.
"They might bicker and quarrel, but they really do love each other. They're just too dense to admit it." Ginny said while chuckling a bit.
"I noticed that too." Sakura said.
"Well, what about you Ginny?" Sakura asked.
"What about me?" Ginny asked.
"Who do you like?" Sakura asked her.
"It's… uh… I think right now's not the right time to ask me that." Ginny said while blushing a bit.
"Oh.. Well, what about you, Harry?" Sakura said as she looked at Harry.
"I… well… I don't know if she'd like me back. Besides, it's pointless to like her." He said.
"Why's that?" Ginny asked.
"Well, I really don't know. I mean, she's perfect. Pretty, funny, smart, attractive and nice and she's more than what meets the eye. You get what I'm saying?" Harry said.
Ginny just nodded and looked at Ron and Hermione again.
"Well, she sounds wonderful." Sakura said.
"Yeah, she does." Harry said while looking at Ginny.
Sakura looked at Ginny, who was still looking at Ron and Hermione then at Harry, who was looking at Ginny. And she kept repeating that for a few times and she smiled sheepishly to herself. Harry looked at her and sees her smile.
"What're you smiling about, Sakura?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing~" Sakura said mischievously.
"Okay then. Are you going to open your gift yet?" Harry asked her.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot." Sakura said as she carefully loosens the pink ribbon attached to the box and tore the wrappings and when she was done tearing, she found a white box.
Sakura opened the box and gasped as her eyes widened. It was a white-short sleeved button-down Sunday dress with a sailor collar and the dress would reach until her knees and there were frills at the hemline of the skirt and a white waist bow attached to it. Sakura was speechless.
"Sakura, it's beautiful." Hermione's voice was heard as she looked at her. Ginny, Ron and Harry nodded in agreement.
"Try it on, Sakura." Hermione said.
"Okay." Sakura said as she got up and went to the girls' dorms to change. After a few moments, she went back down and Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron just stared at her.
"W-well, how do I look?" She asked.
"Pretty. It suits you." Ginny said. Sakura blushed and thanked her.
"You should wear it sometime." Hermione said while smiling as Sakura nodded.
"I agree. Well, I think we better go to the Great Hall. I think it's time for dinner already." Ron said.
"Honestly, Ronald! Is food you only ever think about?" Hermione scolded him.
"Sorry, Sakura. You do look pretty and Ron just ruined the moment." She added.
"Hey! I heard that!" Ron said.
"You were supposed to, Ronald." She added. And once again, they began to bicker while going to the Great Hall.
"I guess I better go change back. I wouldn't want to get detention for improper uniform. You two can go on without me. I'll just catch up." Sakura said while making her way to the girls' dorms.
"Sakura." Harry called out. Sakura looked back at him.
"Yes?" She asked.
"You might get lost again. So we'll just wait for you here, right Gin?" Harry said.
"Actually I'm feeling a bit hungry. I'm sorry, Sakura, Harry." Ginny said.
"It's okay." Sakura and Harry said. Ginny nodded and went outside and Sakura went upstairs leaving Harry alone in the Common Room.
In The Great Hall…
Ginny's POV
I finally made it to the Great Hall. When I went to sit down across Hermione, who was sitting next to Ron, I noticed Fred and George making their way over to us.
"Hey, Ickle Ronniekins." Fred said.
"Yeah?" Ron asked.
"We've got news for you." George said.
"What's that?" I butted in.
"Oh, it's nothing you should know, baby sister." Fred and George said and I just rolled my eyes.
"So what is it?" Ron asked.
Fred and George looked at me and whispered something in Ron's ear and he just grinned and chuckled.
"What did you tell him?" I asked. George gave me a sly smile.
"I told you it's a secret, Gin-Gin." He said. I just sighed dramatically. "stupid prats." I said as the three of them just smiled sheepishly and Fred and George went back to sit where they were before.
As I began eating my dinner, I felt someone looking at me. I looked at the table behind me and there I saw Dean Thomas looking at me. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him and just continued eating my dinner. I looked at Hermione who was giving a weird look.
"It's nothing." I said.
"I didn't say anything." She said.
Back at the Common Room…
Normal POV
Sakura was done changing back and saw Harry sitting on the couch. She went her way over to him. "Did I take too long?" She asked.
"No, you didn't. Come on, let's go." He said.
"Okay." She said and they went to the Great Hall.
While walking down at the dark deserted halls of Hogwarts, Sakura decided to have a small talk with Harry. "Harry." She called.
"Yes?" Harry asked.
"Well, uh, I just noticed the way you look at Ginny.." She said.
"H-Huh? W-What?" He stuttered, almost tripping in the processes.
"Do you like her?" She asked.
"What?" He felt his cheeks burn up.
"Is it a yes or no?" Sakura asked while smiling slightly. Harry sighed.
"Honestly, I don't know. I mean, she's my best mate's sister. I'm not supposed to feel that was about her. But every time I look at her, I just.. Oh, I don't know. I can't explain it. I feel a warm feeling and when she's happy, it just makes me smile. It's just.. oh man, I messed up. Did I make any sense?" He asked while scratching the back of his head and feeling embarrassed.
Sakura giggled.
"Yes you do make sense and do you feel that you want you want to protect her every time she's sad?" She asked.
"Yes." He said quietly.
"Well, I think you like her." Sakura said with a smile.
"I think I do too, but it's no use in liking her." He said, disappointingly.
"How come? Is she dating someone else?" She asked.
"No, it's not that. It's just that when we were kids, she used to have this huge crush on me. She was very clumsy whenever I was around. I never really noticed her before. But now, I'm not sure what happened. She became this independent, funny, confident and extremely pretty person I have ever met. She's just perfect." He said.
"You didn't answer my question. Why do you think it's useless in liking her?" She asked.
"I guess she just grew up from her childhood crush for me." He said.
"I don't think so. I think she still likes you. Just don't give up. You'll never know unless you try." Sakura said.
"Yeah, thanks Sakura." He said. And they finally reached the Great Hall.
In the Great Hall…
Normal POV
Harry and Sakura went over to where Ron, Hermione and Ginny were seated at. Sakura sat beside Ginny across Ron and Harry sat beside Sakura.
"Students, may I have your attention please?" Professor McGonagall said and the whole Great Hall became quiet.
"Next month, we will be having a Halloween Ball. Each student is required to join the Ball wearing their costumes and those who will be chosen as Mr. And Ms. Halloween, gets 50 points for themselves and 100 points for their houses." McGonagall said as the Great Hall was filled with cheers and claps.
"However, those who will not follow the rules will get 1 month detention and must help Mr. Filch on cleaning duty." She added and now "boo's" were heard.
"I think we made ourselves clear. Now get back to your houses and Goodnight to all of you." She said. And Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Sakura went back to the Common Room.
In the Common Room…
Normal POV
When the students went back to the Common Room, some students were talking about the Halloween Ball, some were studying and some were just doing their home works. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Sakura went over to sit by the fireplace. Harry and Ron decided to play chess, Hermione was reading a book and Ginny and Sakura were chatting about the Halloween Ball.
Fred and George went over to Ron and whispered something in his ear. Ron began laughing hysterically and the students were now looking at him. Ginny raised an eyebrow to the twins.
"What did you tell him this time?" She asked.
"Wait for it…" Fred and George simultaneously said.
And as if on cue, Dean Thomas stepped in the middle of the Common Room wearing a bright pink outfit that looked like Dolores Umbridge would wear. He also had a bright pink dress hat and high heels. Dean froze and the entire Griffyndor Common Room was bursting with laughter, even the prefects were.
"You!" Dean exclaimed angrily as he chased Fred and George.
"What's the matter, Thomas? Don't you like what you're wearing? Now, you can go to the Halloween Ball as Dolores Umbrigde." George said as he ran avoiding Dean.
"Aye, George. Doesn't pink match his eyes?" Fred said with a snicker.
"Come back here, you two!" Dean exclaimed.
The three were now standing in the middle on the Common Room and the twins reached for something in their pockets and threw it on the ground leaving a huge puff of pink smoke and when the smoke cleared, George muttered a spell and the music "Macarena" began to play and Dean began dancing like crazy.
The entire Common Room was now hysterical with laughter. Dean glared evilly at Fred and George. "I'll definitely get you two back." He said with a glare.
"Dance for us, Dean." Fred and George said darkly.
The music changed into an old muggle song "Chocolate (Choco Choco)" And Dean began dancing more.
When the music ended, laughs and cheers were still heard and Dean stopped dancing. He just glared at Fred and George and went to the boys' dorms. The twins grinned at Ron and the three of them said, "Strike Two."
Midnight: Well, how was it? :D I'm hoping you guys found it funny especially the Chocolate part. XD Btw, I do not own Macarena and Chocolate (Choco Choco). Macarena is owned by Los del Río. Chocolate (Choco Choco) is owned by Soul Control.
