The weather soon went from cool and breezy to chilly. In the morning frost could be seen covering the lawn, and the inhabitants of Hogwarts were lucky to see more than five leaves on any tree. The whomping Willow resembled a jumble of sticks (very vivacious sticks).

Luna saw Ginny looked longingly out the window of the giant library.. "Ginny, the faster we finish this darn essay, we can enjoy the weather outside!" Luna reminded her. Ginny smiled at her choice of a curse word, making Luna blush. Ginny's face darkened ad she deadpanned. "ughhh, nooo but we still have to do that herbology assignment, AND that small sheet Mcgonagall gave us for transfiguration."

"Oh, right." Luna's expression drooped.

Ginny patted her on the back sympathetically.

Right now they were working on an essay about wolfsbane potion for Professor Slughorn.

"I wonder how Snape's liking teaching first second and third years potions," Ginny smirked. "He's probably just peachy about it." replied Luna.

"More like greasy."

They laughed, a bit too loudly, because Madam Pince gave them a sharp, deadly glare, and shushed them, which could possibly have been even louder than their laughter.

Ginny and Luna exchanged glances, and then burst out laughing, and tried to conceal it, which was nearly impossible.

"Wait, so why are you two on library probation again?" asked Hermione expectantly, raising her eyebrows at a certain pair of girls.

They were standing in the Entrance Hall, slightly early for lunch.

"We laugh too loud." answered Ginny bluntly.

Hermione sighed comically and shook her head, while also face-palming.

"So, Hermione, excited for the absolutely mind-blowing Thanksgiving feast?"

"Ginny, we're past that!"

"Your muggle mum accidentally sent a howler instead of a letter last week saying how wonderful Hogwarts and all the holidays and events here are... she also asked if you still wanted your nightlight at home... I dont think we'll ever be past that." Ginny said, starting to crack up at the memory.

Hermione rolled her eyes and said while playfully slapping Ginny on the arm, "yes, I'm excited dumbos... Anyway, see you in Transfiguration, I'm having lunch with Flitwick and some other students about a- some sort of club."

"Alright, M-mione- haha- s-see you later." called Ginny, still recovering from her laughter.

It was now Thanksgiving night, and nearly everyone in the castle was heading down to the Great Hall for the traditional magnificent feast.

"Wow. The decorations for each holiday seem to get better every year!" exclaimed Luna. "agreed." replied Ginny.

They made their way to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville.

"Guys! I have the most exciting news!" The others looked expectantly at Harry as he cried this. "Well, what is it?" asked Hermione. Harry grinned broadly and announced, "Lupin and Sirius are getting married! Siri talked to me through the fire last night after everyone had gone to bed."

"OMG!!" "what?!" "Really? Ahhh I'm so happy for them!" "Blimey mate...!"

They spent a long time talking about the wedding and jokingly planning it until the feast was over and Dumbledore stood up to say his few words. "Have a happy Thanksgiving..." and the like.

"Did you notice that Harry and Draco kept glancing at eachother throughout the feast?" Hermione whispered to Luna and Ginny. Ginny covered her mouth, and Luna said, "Well, they're definitely gay for eachother.", and the three girls burst out in laughter.

Harry, Ron and Neville turned around and looked at them. "Hey, what're you talking about?" asked Harry suspiciously, "because I'm getting a strange feeling that we're the topic of your discussion."

"Well, not all of you," Ginny snorted in response.

Once out in the Entrance Hall, there was a crowd of people blocking their way...

"Ah, Potter, just the lad I was looking for," he sneered, but it was clear he wasn't being malicious deep down.

Luna sucked in a breath and watched as Harry stepped into the now-parted crowd, out into the place where Draco Malfoy was.

"Cut it out, Malfoy." retorted Harry, clearly conflicted.

"You annoying little prat, you think you can just go strutting about, calling me by my last name. Only I can do that." He added, smirking.

In one swift movement, Draco shoved Harry up against the wall, and repeated, "Only I can do that".

Then, in front of everybody, time seemed to freeze as Draco's lips aggressively smashed onto Harry's, shocking everyone, even Luna, who had slightly anticipated this moment, truth be told.

Draco looked a bit surprised and flustered at himself but smirked as he pulled away from the kiss. Harry looked surprised and embarrased but pleased.

Some people in the crowd jeered, specifically mostly Slytherins, but most of the people in the hall started applauding, until Professor Mcgonagall wondered what all the ruckus and blockage was about. "Oh, teenage romance," She sighed exasperatedly, and started to usher them all away.

"Only you can do that, Draco."
