A FEW DAYS later the group of friends were sitting in the great hall for dinner, talking about the yule ball that was coming up in only a month.
"so," josephine said, looking at her friends. "do you guys think you will be asking anybody to the ball?" she always wanted to know about other people's love lives, even if they barely had one.
"eh, probably not," willow said, taking a sip of her pumpkin juice. she didn't fancy anyone at the moment, and although she doubted anyone fancied her, she thought there was maybe a possibility she would be asked.
"well, i haven't asked anyone yet," ron started. "but i gues now is as good a time than ever. so delilah, would you do me the great honor of going to the ball with me?"
delilah let out a small giggle, while blushing. "of course, ronald."
"bleh," josephine practically gagged from across the table. "get a room."
delilah stuck her tongue out at josephine, which she gave back, causing both of the girls bursting into fits of laughter.
"this is mad!" harry said, leaning over to talk to willow. "at this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates."
willow rolled her eyes before responding. "well, josephine doesn't have a date either."
"and it's pretty obvious that she's gonna go with fred," harry said looking at josephine, who has stealing glances at the red headed boy sitting down the table from her.
it was painfully obvious to everyone that they liked each other, but neither one of them would confess. after all, what if the other didn't like them? would they just ruin a great friendship?
so they just stuck to stealing glances at each other from across rooms.
almost as if he could read minds, fred threw a letter over to harry. he opened it up and saw what it contained.
get a move on or all the good ones will have gone
"well, who are you going with then?" harry said, angrily throwing the letter back at him.
fred threw a crumpled up ball of paper at angelina johnson, a girl sitting just down the table from the twins. she looked at him, annoyed, before mouthing "what?"
