"Parcel for you Mr. Weasley....oh and here's a letter Miss. Black." A first year names Nigel hands to the two.

"Cheers," Ophelia says before ripping open her letter,
"Thank you Nigel."

Hermione clears her throat as the boy stands still, looking at Harry who awkwardly turns away. Ron nudges him, "Not now Nigel...Go Later."

"I- Well I told him I'd get him Harry's autograph," Ron takes the package open as Ophelia look at her letter,

Dear, Fifi
First of all how is fourth year going? Any new drama happening at school? Just writing to check on you and if everything is alright. I'll write to you in a few weeks!

Love. Dad x

Ophelia takes a look at the smudged part of the letter that is crossed out she shrugs and looks to Ron who is pulling out a frilly looking dress robe, she laughs loudly as does Hermione.

"Mum..sent me a dress,"

"Well, it does match your eyes....is there a Bonnet? Ah ha!"

"Nose down Harry." Ron walks over to Ginny as she gasps slightly at the robe, "Ginny these must be for you."

"I'm not wearing that. That's ghastly."

Ophelia covers her mouth to stop her from slight so much, "They're not for Ginny....they're for you!"

The rest of the table laugh loudly as Ophelia looks back to a very confused Ron, "Dress robes!"

"Dress robes? For what!"

"The Yule ball. Has been a tradition of th- Triwizard Tournament....since it's 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 except each and every one of you. Your best foot forward...and I mean this literally. Because the Yule Ball is first and foremost a dance."

Ophelia and Hermione look at each other with wide eyes and the rest of the girls. They all look around eagerly as the boys sink back into their seats and groan at the idea.

"Silence! The house of Godrick Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly 10 centuries. I will not have you in the course of a single evening besmirching that name, by behaving like a babbling bumbling band of Baboon's."

"Try saying that five times faster," Fred whispers as George tries it out.

"Now to dance, is to let the body...breathe. Inside every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst often and take fight."

Ophelia looks over to Ron who is whispers something to Seamus they both laugh, Ophelia narrows her eyes when she realises it's probably not something nice."

"Inside every boy, a lordly lion prepared to dance..Mr, Weasley."

"Yes.." Ron sinks into his seat

"Will you join me please, now place your right hand on my waist."

Ron looks around with wide eyes, "Where?"

"My waist." Fred and George whistle from the back, " Mr. Filch if you please." Filch starts the music, "1,2,3..." Ophelia laughs at the boy who is awkwardly dancing with Magonagle as Fred and George dance around making fun of their brother.

"Everybody come together! Boys on your feat!!" Magonagle shouts as the boys slack into their chairs Neville looks around hesitantly before standing up.

Ophelia walks out of the lesson with Ron and Harry as Hermione went to the library to return a book. "A dance huh? And did you enjoy your little dance with Professor Magonagle?" Ophelia laughs as Ron chuckles and nudges her slightly.

"No, everyone's going to make fun of me for that until I leave the school now." Ophelia stops

"What?" Harry wonders at the girl,

"I need to get something from the library, I'll meet you guys in transfiguration!" The two nod as Ophelia walks to the library hoping to meet Hermione on the way.

She bumps into someone and turns around, "Oh I'm sorry." She quickly said as she looks to the Durmstrang student.

"No..I should apologise I am Stefan and you are." Stefan says as Ophelia opens her mouth to answer but also slightly confused because all she did was practically almost make him fall over.

"Oh- Uhm I'm Ophelia." He lets out his hand for her to shake in she furrows her brows and smiles slightly, she shakes his hand. "Well, nice to meet you Stefan? I should go I have to get to my next lesson."

He kisses the back of her hand as she blushes slightly, but then says goodbye and walks away to the library thinking in her head what had just happened in 2 minutes.
