"this is mad." ron says as we sit doing potions work in the great hall. "at this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates." he says. snape hits his head. "well, us and neville." ron says and chuckles. i roll my eyes. "yeah, but, then again, he can take himself." harry says. "it might interest you to know that neville's already got someone." hermione says. "ooh..now i'm really depressed." ron says. i quickly look down at my paper and continue writing.  who could neville be going with?

fred passes ron a paper. "get a move on or all the good ones will have gone." he whispers. "who are you going with then?" he asks giving the paper back to fred. fred throws a paper ball at angelina. "what?" she asks sharply. he does weird motions and mouths *do you wanna go to the ball with me?* "to the ball? yeah all right." she whispers. fred does his signature smirk and wink at ron.

"oi hermione. you're a girl." oh god ron you idiot. "very well spotted." hermione says. "come with one of us?" ron asks and looks at me as if adding me to the equation. snape hits him and harry harshly with his book. harry winces. "come on. it's one thing for a bloke to show up alone. for a girl, it's just sad." ron says. i scoff. "we won't be going alone, because, believe it or not, someone's asked us!" hermione says. she gets up and turns in her assignment, she walks back to us. "and i said yes!" she says and grabs her things and walks off.

"bloody hell...she's lying right?" ron asks. "nope. both have dates. good luck boys." i say and turn in my assignment.

i sit on the couch in the common room playing with harry's hair. he'd just been rejected by cho chang. ron comes in all panicked with girls around him. "it's okay ron. it's alright. it doesn't matter." ginny says. "what happened to you?" harry asks. "he just asked fleur delacour out." ginny says. "what?" hermione asks and we walk over to ron. "there she was, walking by. you know how i like it when they walk. i couldn't help it. it just sort of slipped out." ron says. "actually he sort of screamed at her. it was a bit frightening." ginny says. "and what did you do then?" harry asks. "what else? i ran for it." ron says.
