{Harry}

I waited in the common room for Alice as I
adjusted the collar of my dress robes. I had to
go get new ones for Slughorn's Christmas party, which I'm not entirely excited to go to but I'm hoping it will help me get closer to him.

Soon enough Alice walked down from the girl's dorm stairs. She had on a stunning black dress that fit her perfectly.

"God Alice, you're beautiful." I complimented.

"You look quite handsome as well Harry"

I held out my arm for her. She took it and we began to walk to where Slughorn was hosting his party.

When we got there, I looked around the room
in awe. It was brightly decorated with all
kinds of sparkly decorations. Christmas music filled the room.

After greeting Professor Slughorn and taking
a quick picture with him, we made our way
into the room to find Hermione.

The party was alright so far.

I and Alice mainly chatted with each other and wondered how Hermione was doing with Neville.

"Drink?" Neville came up beside us. He was wearing a waitress uniform and had a plate of drinks.

"Neville," I said joyfully.

"Hello, Neville." Alice smiled.

"I didn't get into Slugclub," Neville stated. "It's okay though he's got Belby handing out towels in the loo."

"Oh well, I'm fine thanks, mate," I said.

"I'm good to thank you, Neville," Alice responded.

"Okay." Neville nodded and continued to serve people.

"I thought Hermione was going to attend this party with Neville" Alice whispered.

Honestly, I thought the same thing, I wonder who she came with.

"Same" I whispered back before glancing around the room. I suddenly see Hermione speeding towards the curtains. "Alice, look," I whispered again and pointed to the curtains.

She then looked over as we both started staring at Hermione who was diving behind the curtain. She was hiding behind a curtain for some
reason.

Alice and I quickly ducked under it with her.

"Hermione, what happened?" Alice asked.

"I've just escaped." She whispered.

We both sent her confused looks.

"I left Cormac under the mistletoe."

"Don't tell me you brought him," Alice whined.

"What happened to bringing Neville?" I asked.
