We walk down to the great hall with our fingers interlocked. There are a few people who glance our way as we sit down at the Gryffindor table. "It was only a matter of time", says Fred as George slips him 10 galleons. "You were betting on us?" I ask. "Business is business my dear" Fred says with a cheeky grin and we laugh.
"What's with Moody" Seamus says and I turn my head to my DADA professor. He is looking right at Hermione and I in complete disgust, almost anger. A weird reaction from a teacher. He has been so odd with me....in class when he almost said my mother's last name.... and now.
"Maybe he does have a crush on Y/N after all" Ginny jokes. "Very funny" I say sarcastically. Hermione is staring right back at him and so I hold her cheek to get her to look into my eyes instead. "don't mind him" I say.
Dumbledore causes a silence in the hall as he starts to speak. First he pulls out the Durmstrang champion first. Viktor Krum, looks very chuffed as he nods to Hermione. Hermione watches me glare at him and squeezes my hand for reassurance. Next Beauxbatons. Fleur Delacour gracefully stands and bows as she flashes me a quick smile. This time Hermione glares and I squeeze her hand for reassurance. She makes sure to kiss my cheek as Fleur looks our way, which only makes me blush and giggle.
Cedric Diggory's name is called next and every Hogwarts student is on their feet cheering. Before we quieten down Hermione notices the Goblet of Fire reacting once again. "Look" she says, pointing. At last a piece of parchment flies out of the Goblet, burned at the edges and everyone gasps. Dumbledore catches it in his hands with ease and calls out the name..... "Harry Potter"
The room doesn't erupt in cheers as it once did. A few whispers fill the hall as Harry sits in shock. "Harry... Harry, c'mon go." I say as I push him up and he walks to Dumbledore. The Champions disappear and we are left with questions. "Well he obviously didn't do it himself, he had no interest. It's probably a prank" I explain to Ron who is in a puff, with his arms folded. "You're acting immature." I tell him and he doesn't listen.
Professor Flitwick walks to the top of the hall and says, "Dumbledore asked me to inform you all that the Yule Ball will take place on December 25th.... That is all" The Great hall turns into chatter again and Hermione turns her head to me with a huge smile. "Y/n would you like to attend the Yule Ball with me" she asks. "It'd would be an honour" I smile back.
