Harry's Pov:

Loki took me to Noragami's that night to celebrate my victory. Yamino even explained why he called Loki master and how he would have to do the same with me. I can clearly see why he would be Salazar's father. He has cleaver down when it's about his families safety.

The next day at lunch I was sitting with Hermione. I was eating while she was reading the paper. I saw Cho looking over and her friends whispering to her. Lunch was never big afares like the dinners. So it wasn't crowded. "Look at this!" Hermione started. I looked back at Hermione and motion for her to continue. "I can't believe it! She's done it!" She ranted pissed. Suprisingly Ron was sitting by her while I was across from her. He glances at her as she puts down the paper and reads out loud. "Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report, is none other that the Bulgarian bonbon, Viktor Krum. No word yet on Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow." "Oh yes, Hermione, I'm so... Upset that my friend might get a boyfriend," I replied sarcastically. She rolls the paper and smacks my arm.

A few minutes later a boy carried a package to Ron. "Parcel for you, Mr. Weasley," the boy tells him. "Ah. Thank you, Nigel" Ron tells him. I see the boy stare at me. 'Bet I know what this is' I thought. Hermione justered Ron to the boy. "Not now, Nigel. Later," Ron whispers while Nigel stares at me. "Hold a moment, Nigel is it?" I asked. The boy nodded his head. "I bet he promised you my autograph didn't he?" I ask in a fake cheerful tone. Nigel nods. "How about I give you that if you promise to never do stuff like this for him when he gives you false promises. Because I wouldn't give a traitor of false friendship a favor, Deal?" I asked him. He nods and hands his book over to sign. Hermione sighs as I hand the book back and the boy takes off. Ron obviously started to ignore me and open his package. "Oh look, Mum's sent me something," he says. I rolled my eyes and took a drink. "Mum sent me a dress," he states that caused me to spill drink on myself in laughter. I look up to see him holding old fashioned dress robes. "Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet?" I say as I look in the box. "Ah ha!" I say as I hold up the other piece to show him. He then walks over to Ginny and speaks, "Ginny, these must be for you." "I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly," she replied. Me and Hermione started laughing. "What you on about?" Ron asked. "There not for Ginny. They're for you," Hermione states. People start to laugh. "They are your dress robes," I tell him as I'm trying to stop laughing at his stupidity. "Dress robes? For what?" He asked.

Later our head of house called us into a room. Suprisingly Loki talked her into letting him join. "The Yule Ball...has been a tradition of the-" she stops for a second and looks at Filtch as he messes with music device, "Triwizard Tournament... Since its inception. On Christmas Eve night, we and our guests.. Gather in the Great Hall for a night of well-mannered frivolity. As representatives of the host school, I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward. And I mean this literally, because... The Yule Ball is, first and foremost... A dance."

The girls get excited as the boys gripe and complain. I stay silent. "The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the Wizard world for nearly 10 centuries," she states firmly. I rolled my eyes. "I will not have you, in course of a single evening, bescetching that name by behaving like a babbling bumbling band of baboons," she tells off. I hear Fred in the back say "Try saying that five times fast,huh?" To George. They try doing that while our head of house continues, "Now, to dance, is to let the body breathe. Inside every girl, a secret Swan slumber, longing to burst forth and take flight." I hear Ron make a rude comment to Seamus, "Something's about to burst out of Eloise Midgen, but I don't think it's a Swan." Seamus laughs. I scowl. "Inside every boy, a loudly lion prepared to prance. Mr. Weasley," she called out. I try to keep a calm face. "Yes?" He asked almost cowardly. "Will you join me, please?"she asked tugging him out of his spot. I smirk and push him out of it. Most of the boys laugh. "Now, place your right hand on my waist," she tells him. "Where?" He asked in shock&panic. "My waist" she replies. He does as told and a boy gives a cat call at him. Ron glares. The twins start quietly giving him shit. "Oi" I whisper to them. They leaned over. "Never gonna let him forget this, are you?" I asked them smiling. "Never," they both replied still keeping an eye on Ron and grinning like loons. I laugh. "Every body come together. Boys on your feet!" Our teacher called as the girls stand. I sigh and get up. Suprisingly so does Neville.

After that lession, Neville has been sleep dancing. He told me he plans on asking Luna out since she is really the only girl that treats him normally. I told him I know she'll say yes as she wants to go. I didn't ask a girl because honestly I wanted to go with a guy. I was telling Draco about my problem.

"Blimey, Harry. This isn't the Muggle world. It's normal to date the same sex. Most just don't do it as Carriers are rare. Most still want to continue their line, and after the burnings thanks to Muggle churches it was almost stopped just to stay alive. If anything you will just get press because most still think of you as the 'golden boy'. Those books really didn't help either," he tells me. "Well then how do I ask anyone then?" I asked him. He sighs. "I would go with you just save you the damn trouble but I told Greengrass I go with her. It's not unusual to bring someone outside of school. Since your a champion you have to have a date. See if Lord Loki can help you out," he suggested.

Luckily Loki planed on me going with Yamino. Noragami refused to go as it interfear with his work. It was currently study hall with Snape again. "This is mad. At this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates," Ron whined as he loomed around. Snape then forced his head down. I try not to laugh at that. "Well, us and Neville," Ron whispers. "Neville has a date," I mumbled. "Now I'm really depressed," Ron complains. Fred then passed a note to Ron. "Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone," Ron reads. I roll my eyes and continue my work. "Who you going with then?" Ron asked. Fred ended up asking Angelina, and she said yes. "Oi, Hermione," Ron starts. 'Oh here we go' I thought Tiredly. "Your a girl," Ron stupidly says. I just ease drop as I continue my work. "Very well spotted," she says annoyed. "Come with one of us?" He asked then I hear him grunt. Snape then walks off. "I have a date," I tell them both. Then Ron made a very bad comment, "Come on. It's one thing for a bloke to show up alone. For a girl, it's just sad." I finished and gathered my books. Hermione snaps at him, "I won't be going alone, because, believe it or not, someone's asked me!" Her and I both turn our note book in. I then wait for her to grab her books. "And I said yes!" She snaps at Ron again. She then comes with me. Once out I whisper to her, "I hope you and Victor have a good time." "How did you-" she started. "How do you think he figured out how to find you when he wanted to ask you out?" I asked her smirking. "Harry!" She wines and I laughed.

A few days later, Loki has me reading the book about the tournament so I can figure out the next task. I was currently walking while reading. "Scar head your about to pass the Great Hall," Draco tells me. I just hum at him zone out in the book. I felt him guide me and place me in a seat. "Your not Granger, now Potter, back to reality and eat," he scoles me. I sigh and mark the spot I was at with a book mark then close the book. I look up to see I'm at the Slytherin table. I look at Draco and spoke, " You do realize he's going to kill you once I tell him your the one who put me here." "I'll deal with his rath later. Now eat," he tells me. I sigh again and slowly start eating what Draco has apparently put in front of me. Not a moment later, Snape arrives. "Mr. Daidoji, are you aware, that you are at the Slytherin table?" He asked me. Without thinking I point to Draco as I continue to eat so I can get back to the book. Odd how it seams quite in the hall now. "Scar head was about to not eat again, so I made him get at least partially back to reality and eat" Draco replied without missing a beat. I blink as I realize it was way.... To quite for the great Hall. And I start to look around, and find almost everyone but the 3 of us in shock. "Very Well Mr. Daidoji. If you promise to behave, I see no reason for you not to sit here. 'Screw it' I thought. "Will do Sir," I say and go back to eating. Snape walks away. "Did you have issues with the Essays?" Draco asked me. "Hm? Oh, got them done earlier. The book is so I can figure out the egg. Loki said it should help, but I'm at a loss," I tell him. "You got the egg with you?" He ask. I point to the bag that is now on the seat. He gets the egg out and examines it. "This is covered in runes. Most that is related to water and sound. We can try the room of requirement after the dance with Yamino as Lord Loki doesn't like being in water long," Draco tells me. I nod and finish eating.
