"HE'S AT PERFECT LIBERTY TO KISS WHOEVER HE LIKES"

you crack your knuckles as you walk along with hermione and harry.

"i really couldn't care less. was i under the impression he and i would be attending slughorn's christmas party together? yes. now, given the circumstances, i've had to make other arrangements"

"have you?"

"yes. why?"

"well, i just thought, seeing as neither of us can go with who we'd really like to.. we should go together, as friends"

you deadpan,

why didn't we think of that?

"why didn't i think of that?" hermione sighs.

"who are you going with?"

"um, it's a surprise. anyway, it's you we've got to worry about it. you can't just take anyone"

he shrugs, "why don't we go together, [name]"

you rub your neck sheepishly, "actually.. i got someone already, also. i didn't think"

"who?"

you cough awkwardly, "uh.. blaise zabini"

he coughs, "malfoy's friend? why him?"

you shrug, "i dunno! he asked me and i didn't want to go without someone"

he shakes his head.

hermione narrows her eyes slightly, "see that girl over there?"

you glance back at the girl.

"that's romilda vane. apparently she's trying to smuggle you a love potion"

"really?" harry said, sounding genuinely excited.

hermione snaps her fingers, "hey! she's only interested in you because she thinks you're the chosen one"

"but i am the chosen one"

you snort.

hermione whacks his head with the newspaper.

"okay, sorry. um, kidding. i'll ask someone i like. someone cool"

YOU SMILE THINLY, SLIPPING AWAY WITH HERMIONE AND HIDING BEHIND A CURTAIN.

you and hermione had matching dresses, hers a soft pink and yours a dark red.

"hermione, [name]. what are you doing? and what happened to you?"

you tuck your hair behind your ear.

"we've just escaped. i mean, left cormac and zabini under the mistletoe"

"cormac? that's who you invited?" harry says in disbelief.

"i thought it would annoy ron the most" she crosses her arms.

you shrug, "blaise can be a bit... odd? he just kind of.. stares at me"

your rub your arms.

"he's got more tentacles then a snarfalump plant"

"dragon tartare?" some guy ducks under the curtain with a plate of food.

you shake your head.

"no, i'm fine. thank you"

"just as well. they give one horribly bad breath"

"on second thought"

she takes the whole plate from him, "might keep cormac at bay"

you consider eating one for a moment, but decide against it. they looked pretty gross.

"oh, god, here they come"

you and hermione crouch down, ducking out of the curtain and running off as they just walk in.

you breathe out, standing off to the side with hermione.

"uhm.. would you like a drink?"

you blink, looking over at neville who was dressed in white.

"neville?"

he just shrugs.

you shake your head, "no thanks"

hermione shakes her head also, he walks off again.

"take your hands off me, you filthy squib!"

you and hermione glance at each other, pushing forward slightly.

filch had draco by the back of his suit.

"professor slughorn, sir. i just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. he claims to have been invited to your party"

"okay, okay. i was gatecrashing. happy?"

"i'll escort him out" snape steps forwards.

"certainly, professor"

slughorn laughs slightly, "all right, everyone, carry on, carry on"
