Pranks? Plots? Dancing! The Yule Ball goes a little differently when Neville is forced to leave early, and Ginny, left all alone, is asked for the last dance of the night by none other than Harry Potter. What starts as a kind gesture turns into something a little more meaningful, as Harry discovers that there is more to his best friend's little sister than he thought.

A short oneshot from Ginny's perspective of the scene in Half-Blood Prince where Harry and Ron walk in on Ginny and Dean after Quidditch practice, and Harry realizes that he likes her. Rated T to be safe.
