Teardrops on my Wand [ron weasley] Chapter 1

I woke up very early on Christmas morning, excited about the Yule Ball. I glanced at the foot of my bed, and saw the usual pile of gifts that was there every Christmas!

I threw my pillow at Hermione to wake her up. She jumped awake. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" she said to me in her loudest whisper, "IT'S FIVE IN THE MORNING!"

I just smiled and said, "Happy Christmas!"

I guess she didn't realize it was Christmas until I told her. "Oh! Happy Christmas!" she replied.

By then, all the other girls in our year were awake. Everyone was whispering "Happy Christmas!" to each other.

After the social time was done, everyone dove to their pile of gifts at the foot of their beds!

My parents sent me a box of Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, along with some new boots, and my favorite Muggle beverage, Coke! Hagrid gave me some of his rock cakes... Hermione gave me a Christmas card and some Pumpkin Pasties. Harry gave me a bottle of Butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks and some Candy Floss from Honeydukes. Fred and George got me some of their best joke stuff. And from Ron, I got a card. It looked like an ordinary card, but when I opened it, a hand came out and shoved pie in my face.

A glance over at Hermione told me that she got the same thing from him! "We're going to kill Ron later, right?" she asked me.

"Defenitely!" I replied, while digging through my pile for the stuff I got from Fred and George.

**********

That afternoon, after lunch, Hermione and I went back up to the Common Room to get ready for the Yule Ball. As we were changing, I asked Hermione, "So who are you going with, anyway?"

Hermione just blushed and said, "Someone..."

"Come on!" I said, "I can see why you're not telling Harry and Ron but why can't you tell me?"

"Because I don't want to!" she said.

"Okay, fine," I said, knowing how stubborn my friend could be at times. Then Hermione walked out of the room.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I yelled, but she didn't say anything.

Hermione's POV

Why was she being so stubborn? I thought, She doesn't HAVE to know that I'm going with Viktor! I stormed downstairs and continued to get ready in the common room, which was conveniently empty.

I looked at the clock and it was almost 6. "I should probably go now," I said to myself.

I jumped down the stairs, being careful to avoid the dissappearing steps. I tried to avoid everyone as much as I could.

There was one corner left before the Great Hall. I looked around it and began to walk down the stairs. For some reason, everyone was staring at me...

I saw Viktor waiting at the bottom. Once I got down, I put my hand on his, and quickly waved to Harry and Parvati.

Jenna's POV

I was running a bit late. I hoped Dean wouldn't mind. I quickly grabbed my bag, and ran down the stairs.

Saving myself some time, I took a secret passage right down to the Great Hall and met Dean in the front. I looked around and saw that Hermione hadn't arrived yet. I really wanted to see who she was with!

I turned around and sighed. There he was. Standing there with a miserable looking Padma Patil. Wearing these frilly, lacy dress robes that he just looked adorable in.

I wanted to go stand next to Ron, but Dean insisted on standing with his best friend, Seamus. I reluctantly followed.
