Ron
Don't worry. He'll be here in a minute. [starts eating]
Hermione
Will you stop eating? Your best friend is missing!
Ron
Oi. Turn around, you lunatic!
Ginny
He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?
Ron
Looks like it's his own this time.
Ginny
Open up, you. [Smiling broadly as he looks surprised] Don't you trust me? [she feeds him the mince pie]
Harry
It's good...
Ron
Yeah, I'll just... Get... Yeah. [Offering the platter] Pie?
Harry
Not for me, no.
Ginny
Has Ron gone to bed?
Harry
Um... [looks upstairs] not yet, no.
Ginny
Shoelace. [Harry bends down to re-tie his shoelaces, but Ginny gets there first. When she has finished, she straightens up and moves closer to him.] Merry Christmas, Harry.
Harry
Merry Christmas.
[They lean in to kiss, but Bellatrix's fireball interrupts them.]
Ginny
Close your eyes. That way you can’t be tempted. [she hides the Half-Blood Prince's book, then kisses Harry] That can stay hidden up here too, if you like.
Ron
So, did you and Ginny do it, then?
Harry
What?
Ron
You know, hide the book?
Harry
Oh... yeah.
Lavender
What's she doing here!?
Hermione
I might ask you the same question!
Lavender
I happen to be his girlfriend!
Hermione
I happen to be his... friend.
Lavender
Don't make me laugh. You haven't spoken in weeks! I suppose you want to make up now that he's suddenly all interesting!
Hermione
He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And for the record, I've always found him interesting.
Lavender
Ah! See? He senses my presence. [leans down] Don't worry, Won-Won! I'm here. I'm here.
Ron
Uh... Hermione... Her... my... nee. Hermione...
Dumbledore
Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting. Well, come away everyone... Mr. Weasley is well tended.
Ginny
About time, too. Don't you think?
Harry
Thank you.
Hermione
Oh, shut up.
[Harry leaves as Hermione continues to clutch Ron's hand and smiles tenderly at him.]
Harry
Okay, so I'm going to be putting you all through a few drills just to assess your strengths. [everyone is still talking] Quiet, please!
Ginny
SHUT IT!
Harry
Thanks. [to everyone] Alright, um, now then. Remember, just because you made the team last year, that doesn't guarantee you a spot this year, is that clear? [everyone is silent] Good.
No hard feelings, Weasley, alright?
Ron
What do you mean?
I'll be trying out for Keeper as well. It's nothing personal.
Ron
Really? Strapping guy like you. You've got more of a Beater's build, don't you think? Keepers need to be quick, agile.
I like my chances. Say, um, think you could introduce me to your friend Granger? Wouldn't mind, uh...getting on a first-name basis, if you know what I mean. [looks up at Hermione sitting in the stadium and punches Ron on the shoulder]
Ginny
You have to get rid of it. Today.
Ginny
Take my hand.
Harry
The Room of Requirement.
Ginny
We need to hide the Half Blood Prince's book, where no one will ever find it, including you.
Harry and Ginny
What was that?
Ginny
See? You never know what you'll find up here.
Ginny
All right, close your eyes. That way, you can't be tempted.
Ginny
I can stay hidden up here too, if you like. [he opens his eyes to see that Ginny has gone]
