October 31- 4:30 p.m.

Today was the day of the Hallowe'en or Samhain, whichever that some of the students at Hogwarts chose to call it. The students were happy and merry as they played tricks on the ghosts, teachers and other students. It is known to be the most powerful day for the magic folk because they were able to use their magic in a powerful way because the hold between the living world and the veil were thin.

And today was a day where Hogwarts was in totally chaos.

While all of Hogwarts was in a disarray, Hermione and Ginny were in a costume store trying to find the right costume for the party.

"Hermione I think that this one is the one!" Ginny exclaimed as she came out of her dressing room.

Hermione then turned her head from the current rack she was looking at and study what Ginny was wearing. She then smiled.

"Hmmm…Well it certainly does look good on you. It complements your hair." Hermione said as she motioned for Ginny to do a turn.

"I know! It is so hard to find ANYTHING that complements this hair!" Ginny said as she turned around to look at the back through the mirror. "And the back is just gorgeous."

The costume that Ginny had picked out was a dark green colour. It had a laced up back and the front dipped, which happened to show some of her ample cleavage. It was tight down to the waist then flowed out to her ankles. It was a renaissance type of dress and usually would not be the type of dress that Ginny complimented Ginny's personality, but it was Hallowe'en. Ginny had fell in love with it at first sight and knew that it was the one for her.

Ginny looked in the mirror and looked at the reflection that showed Hermione. She noticed that something was different with her since the beginning of the school year. Hermione seemed a little distance. She thought that at first is was because of Harry and Her going out or Ron and Lavender. She noticed that she was still the same with her personality but when it came to Hermione telling her things, which was pretty much everything, it never really happened anymore. It was ever since she became Head Girl.

It freaked Ginny out because not only was Hermione not coming to her as often, she noticed that Hermione was slowly going through some physical changes and no one noticed but her.

Sure it could be explained that every girl goes through those changes, cause it was called puberty. But Hermione's appearances seemed to grow more exotic. She asked Harry about this one time, but all he said was that Hermione seemed the same. She never did let it up.

Ginny decided that after the ball she was going to ask Hermione the question that she really wanted to ask. Until then she was going to leave things alone. With that thought she walked back into the change room to change back into her clothes.

Hermione still flipped through the racks and finally gave up all hope in finding a costume that would be right for her. She then started to walk to the back corner of the shop and started to look through the racks. Her eyes then caught on to a dress that she had once seen in a movie before. She took it from the racks and went to the change room beside Ginny's.

"Hermione?" Ginny called once she came out of hers with the costume she was getting in her hands. "Mione, where are you?"

"Right here Gin, in the change room." Her voice was a little muffled.

"Oh. You found one then?"

Hermione then walked out to show Ginny the costume that she had found. "Yup and this one is definitely the one that I am going to get! So what do you think?"

"Wow!" Was all that Ginny said.

Hermione then gave a smile and did a turn for Ginny.

"Thanks Gin." She said as she walked back into the change room.

"For what?" Ginny asked confused as she waited.

"For being there, even though you have questions," She then walked out of the room and linked arms with her and they both went to go purchase their items. "And for being the best friend a girl can ask for, which is like a sister."

Ginny's eyes then began to water up. She always considered Hermione the sister she had never had and was just so happy that Hermione considered at a sister as well.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked as she stopped in front of Ginny.

"Nothing, just got something in my eye that's all." Ginny smiled and re-linked her arms with Hermione. "So, what do you think Harry's going to go as this year?"

Hermione shrugged. "I think that he mentioned something about Voldemort. That would be funny!"

"Ya it would."Ginny laughed. "But hopefully not cause with my costume it will look like I am the human sacrifice."

It was Hermione's turn to laugh. "Oh god that would be horrible. But at least you don't have to save the first and last dance for Malfoy!"

"Mione, he's not that bad anymore." Ginny sighed and looked at Hermione. she realized that it was a lost cause. "At least he's a good dancer. Or so I'm told."

Hermione once again shrugged. "And at least he is moderately good looking."

"Moderately?" Ginny asked.

"Ya not that bad…Okay he is handsome but he doesn't need the ego boost!" She trailed off as she thought of the steamy kiss that they shared in the bathroom the other night. She then shook her head. "I think that we should head back, so we can get ready."

"And eat." Ginny reminded Hermione.

"Yes, and eat. Cause god knows that both our hairs are going to take forever!" Hermione grumbled a bit.

Ginny gave a laugh as they both headed back to the school.

While the girls was heading back to Hogwarts, Harry was currently sitting on a rock by the lake. He was staring at the horizon. Though some people walked by him, he gave no notice to them. He didn't care what they had to say or what they thought. He was lonely. Sure he had Ginny and he knew that he loved her with all his heart. And he knew that he couldn't live without her.

His thoughts then travelled to Ron. He didn't know what was wrong with Ron lately. His best friend and brother. He was wondering why he got upset at Hermione the other day and called her a bitch. He didn't understand and thought that the usual row that they were having was the same as it always was. He shook his head and told himself that he wouldn't think about it anymore. Hermione and Ron made up, everything was back to how it used to be.

Harry's thoughts then came to land on Hermione. He loved her with his heart, not like Ginny, but like a sister. He found it weird at first. The feelings that he had for her, for it was so strong. But he watched over her and did notice the changes that Ginny noticed as well. He wanted to ask about them, but knew that the answer would be vague. So he found no point it asking about it and decided to continue looking out for her.

Voldemort. Was his enemy and now was a dead person of his past. He had defeated him during this summer and never had to worry about him hurting the people he cared about. He didn't like to dwell on it. But the thing that he found more confusing was that Malfoy had helped him out. It wasn't like they were best friends or anything. It's just that they came more to an understanding.

"Hi Harry" The voice said as it disrupted his thoughts.

Harry looked up and smiled. The girl in front of him had flaming red hair, with golden highlights that shined brightly in the sun. He didn't have to explain her body cause he knew every detail of it, but all he could say was it was perfect in every way to him.

Ginny looked at his green eyes that liked to sparkle with mischief.

"Hi Gin" He said as he pulled her into a hug and tucked her head underneath his chin.

"What's wrong Hun?" Ginny asked as she breathed his scent in.

"Nothing now" He mumbled.

Ginny looked up into his green eyes and slowly brought her mouth to his for a soft kiss. She then pulled away.

"I got to go and meet Hermione." She said and got up.

"Why? Didn't you just get back here?" Harry scrunched up his nose "with her I might add?"

"Ya, but we got to get ready for tonight. And a girl's got to eat." She stood on her tiptoes to give him another kiss. "And gotta look my best you know."

Harry nodded and watched as she walked away. He started to go back into his thoughts when he heard her call out to him again.

"Oh and Harry tonight meet me in the common room at 11:00. I got something special for you." She winked and purposely swung her hips more then usual, knowing that it would drive him crazy.

Harry sighed and gave a little chuckle as he thought about the upcoming events.
