"Besides it's you we should be worried about. You can't just take anyone." I say to Harry. He doesn't have a date to the ball yet.

"Why? Who are you going with?" He asks me.

"I was thinking of asking Oliver to go with me." He smirks and I playfully hit him. "I know what you're thinking and if you keep thinking it I will hex you." Harry laughs.

"Ok. Ok."

"You see that girl over there?" I point to where Romilda Vane is sat. Harry turns around. I look at Romilda to see her looking at Harry dreamily.

"That's Romilda Vane. Dean told me that she's been stalking you for days. And apparently she's trying to smother you up a love potion."

Harry raises his brow.

"Really?"

"I'm pretty certain she likes you." He looks behind him again.

"Hey." I click my fingers in front of his face and he snaps out of his trance. "She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the chosen one."

"But I am the chosen one." Harry says smugly and I hit him on the head with my newspaper.

"Right, ok sorry."

"Let's just hope you find a date by tomorrow. If not then...you're going to be a sad bloke sitting all by himself while everyone else is having fun at the ball." I say and walk out of the library.

I walk into the Gryffindor common room and see Oliver studying.

"Hey." I say and sit beside him on the couch.

"Hello lass." He says and puts an arm over my shoulder. I smile and close my eyes enjoying the silence. The only sound of the fire cracking the turning of pages every so often.

"I wanted to ask you something." Oliver says shutting his book.

"Sure." I say and open my eyes to face him.

"Will you go to the ball with me?" He says a nervous expression on his face.

"Of course I'll go to the ball with you." I kiss him on the lips. He responds with just as much passion before I pull away.

"Oliver?"

"Yes lass?"

"Are we dating or?"

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asks me.

"Yes." I say and kiss him again.

Me and Ginny decided to go dress shopping in Hogsmeade and the boys decided to tag along to look for dress robes. Ginny pulls me into a shop and the boys look at me and laugh.

"Have fun, Granger." Fred and George shout before the door closes. Ginny goes over to some dresses and picks them up. She walks over to me and shows me a dress.

"Ooo what about this one?"

"Hmm I prefer that one." I point to another dress.

"Then I'll get it."

"Yep the dress really suits you."

"What about you?" Ginny says.

"I-" Ron suddenly comes into the shop.

"Hermione!"

"Oh. Hey."

"Hey um Hermione can I talk to you?"
