Only Angel > R. Weasley

The one where ron and harry cant get dates

Juliet's POV-
   "It's like they travel in packs, how are you meant to get one alone to ask her?" Ron complained.
   "Lasso her over, duh." I spoke, not looking up from my book.
   "Do you think that would work? Maybe-"
   "I was kidding dimwit." I laughed, closing my book and putting it in my bag,
   "I knew that." Ron assured, "Was just making sure ya know."
   "Mmmmhm." i nodded, "But seriously, just ask, the worst that happens is they say no right?"
   "Well when you put it that way it sounds dumb, but it's easier said then done."
   We walked together into the great hall and sat next to Harry and Hermione, who were reading, or at least pretending to. Not hermione, Harry.
   "Hellooo." Hermione sang, motioning for me to sit next to her, which i did.
   "Hello love, watcha reading?"
   "A book on magical sea creatures."
   Ron was staring off into the distance, looking very deep in thought. I look to hermione, who's noticed the exact thing i had.
   "Earth to Ronathan." i droned, waving my hand in his face.
   "You and Hermione are girls, right?"
   I look to hermione, who's just as confused as me, did he just ask that?
   "Well spotted?" Hermione questioned.
   "Well i mean that, it'd be more embarrassing for you guys to go alone, so why don't you go with harry or me?"
   I looked at him like he was joking, because i thought he was, until i realized he wasn't.
   "You're not kidding... my god you're not kidding. One, VERY bold of you so assume we don't already have dates, which we do. Two, don't talk to me until you realize how misogynistic and disgusting that was, and next time there's a dance, pluck up the courage to ask us before someone else does." i fumed, slamming hermione's book closed and picking it up, "and NOT as a last resort."
   I grabbed hermione arm and led us both up to the gryffindor common room.
   "Can you believe him?!" i stormed
   Hermione shook her head and brought us up to her dorm. "I just need to read and calm down right now if that's alright Julie?"
   "Don't call me that." i snapped, realizing immediately that wasn't the way to go about that. "Sorry wait that was rude just um, not good memories associated with that nickname."
   "It's ok, are Juliet and Jules ok?" She asked, genuinely.
   I nodded and got a book from my bag out to read with Hermione. What a day and it's only 11:30.

Later that day Ron and Harry did, if fact, get dates, with two girls named Parvati and Padma, they're were really pretty but i didn't know them. I was still pissed at them anyways, who says those kinds of things, he acted as if i wasn't capable of getting a date when i'm plenty capable.
To be completely honest i had hoped Ron would ask me, but i gave up hope pretty quickly. It wasn't like i liked him or anything, just that i was comfortable around him in a sense, i thought he felt the same.
I sat in the Slytherin common room, i had a book in front of me but i think i was more lost in my thoughts then anything. This was one of the only times i would actually sit in the common room, usually i'd be in my room or out about the castle somewhere, but since a surprising number of Slytherins went home this break, i decided it would be alright.
The only people i'd seen since everyone left were Zyler, and a few older kids i didn't know.
"Hello Julie," Zyler smiled, sliding next to me on the leather couch.
"How many times Zy. Do i have to tell you not to use that nickname." I huffed, closing my book, and looking in his eyes.
"A few more i suppose. Got a date to the ball yet Julsie?"
I tilted my head slightly, Julsie is a new one. "Yep, i have, some French student, i'm guessing you have as well since you didn't go home?"
"You guessed it, this really really hot Durmstrang student asked me a few days before break. He's tall and muscular but also really sweet." Zy gushed.
"That's great Zy," I laughed
"I'm surprised Weasley didn't ask you, i thought you two were getting close, really looked like the start of something."
"Get this." I threw my book onto the table and turned around completely to face him, "Earlier today, in the great hall, he told me and Hermione that we should go with him and Harry, because since we're girls it would be even sadder for us to not have dates."
"He did not." Zy gasped
"He did! And then of course i got mad, because he basically assumed no one had asked us, right? And he still hasn't apologized."
"This is why i hate men."
"The irony of that sentence Zy."
"Whatever, i hate myself too, and i can't help that guys are hot."
I shook my head at him and took out my book again. Zy was the one guy who rarely pissed me off, we could talk for hours about who was cute, who was definitely fruity, and the "good friends" who were totally dating. Our main topic being Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas, especially lately.
"Don't shake your head at me Juliet Druella Angel." Zy scolded
"oh shush."
I continued reading, this book was about magical artifacts, i had just finished reading about portkeys which was something i still had lots of questions about, mainly because they're such vague objects and there wasn't too much explanation. I really wanted to know the limits, like how far they'd go and who all can use them. Guess it's something i'll have to look into.

AN- Yes i foreshadow sometimes because i think it's funny, don't judge me.

Do y'all like crystals?
