Nobodies POV

Daytime.

Harry and Ron move warily down a corridor seemingly inhabited only by groups of girls -- one of which includes Cho.

"Why do they always have to travel in packs? How are you supposed to get one alone to ask them..." Harry says

"Blimey Harry, you slayed dragons. If you can't get a date who can?" Ron ask

Ron watches Fleur pass by at the head of a breathtakingband of Beauxbatons girls. "I think I'd take the dragon right now." Harry says

Just then, Padma and Pavarti pass by, smile....

....

Moody's Classroom. Day.

Female hands pass a note under desks, one set of fingernails decorated with hearts, working west to east...

....

Hill. Day.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione study. Krum passes. A beat, a gaggle of girls pass in pursuit. Hermione rolls her eyes...

....

Mcgonagalls classroom.

Giggling girls approach Ezra and Xander, shyly handing them red pieces of paper, running off.

Xander looks at the letter in his hand and hands it to a third year passing by, making Ezra chuckle and do the same.

....

Courtyard.

A Durmstrang boy approaches a group of girls, asks one out. She nods. Harry and Ron look at each other in amazement...

....

Tower Dormitory. Night.

Ron and Harry enter, find Neville dancing by himself horribly. Quickly, they step back, close the door and glance at one another...

....

Spiral Staircase. Day.

Cho stands reading a spellbook. Harry swallows nervously, starts forward, when a classroom door swings across his face and a group of Ravenclaw girls sweep Cho away...

....

Stone bridge.

Graceful as fawns, Fleur and Gabriella lead a group of Beauxbatons girls, arms swinging in unison, down a walkway, passing the scarf between them.

Ron watches in awe....

....

Tower Dormitory. Night.

Harry lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, turning the egg over in his hands, when it pops open. Each boy bolt up in bed, slap hands over their ears...

....

Hagrid and Madame Maxime are walking together.

"I take after my mum. Though I didn't know her very well, she left when I was about three. No, not the maternal sort her, broke my dad's heart though. You know he was a tiny little fellow my dad, I could pick him up with one hand by the age of six and put him up in the dresser." Hagrid says

They laugh together and have a moment.

"And then he died when I was still in school. So I had to make me own way as it were. But enough of me, what about you!" Hagrid ask

....

Dance Classroom.

Neville now dances with Ezra who laughs and corrects him when he missteps.

....

Lake. Day.

Cho passes by, out of view. Harry appears, follow, then bumps into an older boy smoothly chatting up a girl with bangs. As Harry stumbles away in embarrassment, he nearly runs into Karkaroff. As both exit, Moody appears...

....

Sprouts classroom.

A fourth year boy approaches Xander hesitantly and shakily hands him a gold colored letter.

This time Xander smiles softly, taking the letter.

Ezra who sat besides him, smiles.

....

Moody's Classroom.

Female hands pass a note under desks, working west to east and ending on the girl with bangs.

....

Stone Bridge.

Fleur and Gabriella lead a group of Beauxbatons grils the other way down the walkway, arms swinging in perfect time, magically passing the scarf.

....

Courtyard.

Snow begins to fall...

....

Tower.

Neville and Ezra flutter across the glass, dancing out of view as snow falls more heavily.

Both giggling.
