"mione...you look beautiful.." i say. hermione giggles. "as do you y/n." she says. "we have to make a grand entrance." i say smiling and taking her hand. "i can't believe i'm going with The Viktor Krum, and you're going with-" "ssshhh i don't even want to hear it. if we speak it it may not come true." i say. "you're too superstitious." hermione says smiling. we walk to the great hall where the yule ball is being hosted. "i wonder how little ronald looks." she says and we both laugh.

we walk to the stairs. viktor and my date are waiting for us at the bottom. harry is standing with parvati and they both turn around and stare. hermione and i slowly make our way down the stairs. "your tits look great." i whisper to hermione and she smiles. harry smiles at us and our dates join our sides.

"well hello mr. diggory." i say and put my arm through his. "hello miss lestrange." he says smirking as we walk to where the champions are. "do you know the dance?" cedric asks. "i'm classically trained." i say. he smiles and nods.

the champions walk into the main room in a line with their dates on their arms. everyone is clapping and seamus and dean cheer extra loud when i walk by. i smile at them. the great hall is decorated beautifully. it looks like all the snow from outside came in. we all stand in the middle of a circle made of students. cedric puts his hand on my waist and the band starts the music. we smile at eachother and begin dancing.

cedric is a phenomenal dancer. he doesn't even have to pay attention like most of the boys. in fact, the whole time we were dancing we were talking and laughing. as if dancing was as easy as walking..or even breathing.

mcgonagall and dumbledore join in.

i look over and more and more people are joining in. neville and..ginny..join in.

i suppose my expression must've physically dropped because cedric definitely noticed. though we didn't miss a beat. "neville huh?" he says. "what?" i ask. "you wanted to go with neville..didn't you?" he asks. still dancing. "well, i didn't want to go with him. just feels weird seeing him with her." i say. he nods. "feels weird seeing cho with dean. we're on sort of a break right now." he says. i nod. he lifts me up and spins me.

cedric pulls me into the huge mosh pit of students dancing to "The Hippogriff". hermione and viktor leave and i smirk and keep dancing.

after the ball i walk to the common room with my heels in my hand, my hair a mess, and my makeup in shambles. it's way past curfew, possibly about three in the morning. everyone in my dorm is asleep so i sit on the couch. "just getting back?" a voice asks from the opposite end. neville. i nod. "you?" i ask. "around ten minutes ago." he says. "you look like a wreck, did you have fun with ginny." i say, not meaning to say her name with such disgust. "did you have fun with cedric? you look about the same as me." he says. "only made out. quite boring actually." i say. "same thing with me." he says. we move closer to eachother.

"you looked nice." neville says. "so did you." i say. we move a bit closer. "ginny looked nice." "cedric looked nice."

"he was unsatisfactory."

"i could satisfy you.."
