Chapter 12: The Yule Ball (Part One)

After the first task, Harry and I had made up- and him and Ron had also made up. Now, with Hermione, we're all friends again.

Today, McGonagall had taken us to the Great Hall, and she seemed to have reserved it from the other houses and teachers. She brought in what's it called... a recorder... Uhm, a huge thing they play music on! Not a radio, but I forgot what exactly it's called. You know, you play a record on it? Eh, I'll find out what it is later.

Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris were there, with the record holder thingy. I sat by the twins and Lee Jordan.

"Now, as the Triwizard Tournament is taking place," (more like the Quadwizard Tournament!) McGonagall began.

"It is the tradition that the Yule Ball will take place on Christmas Eve."

Girls murmured with excitement, minus Hermione and I. I just rolled my eyes, and leaned into George's shoulder.

"Now the Yule Ball is a....er, chance to get our hair down..." McGonagall said, a bit of repulsivity in her voice.

Lavender Brown had laughed, and this time, I could see what was so funny.

McGonagall always had her hair up in a tight bun, and the image of her with her hair actually down was, so to say, sort of weird. I just couldn't imagine it without cowering back in fear. Good thing I wasn't on the top bleacher, or else I'll fall and hit my head.

Eh, hitting my head wouldn't make any much of a difference.

"Weasley!" Minerva called to Ron. "Come dance with me."

"Me?"

"Yes. Argus, please start the music."

So Filch did. He started to dance with his cat, Mrs. Norris... oh god, he has to get a life. I almost feel bad for the cat...

"Now, hand on my waist."

"On you're what?"

"On her waist, Ron!!! God...." I exclaimed.

Ron blushed, and the transfiguration teacher turned to look directly into my emerald green eyes.

"Miss Potter!"

"Yesssssss?" I asked, dragging the s to annoy her, a smile on my face.

"Come up here and dance with Mr. Filch." She ordered, glaring at me.

"What? No, no, no- I'm good, just forget that I even said...."

"Up here. Now."

I sighed, and followed her menacing glare to where Filch was standing. I could see laughter in the twins and Harry's eyes, but one single glare from me shut them up. I smirked to myself in my head.

I reluctantly placed my hand on his shoulder. In his eyes were happiness because he was embarrassing a student.

A student who has their own entire drawer in his office, thank you very much. Even the twins have their own drawers- one each. It's quite funny, really.

I grimmianced as he swayed me to the music. I purposely stepped on his toes and smiled as he began to scream in anger.

"DETENTION, POTTER!!" he screamed.

"What? It's not my fault that I'm such a horrid dancer."

Oh yea. I played the puppy dog eyes.

That's right, Jack!

Duck Dynasty reference.

WOMAN GO CRAZY FOR A SHARP DRESSED MAN...

Watch Duck Dynasty on A&E!!!!!!! It's on Wednesdays at nine pm (central time).

It's really funny.

Trust me.

I sound like a god damn advertiser... oh I got to stop this... anyway.....

I ended up not getting a detention because Mrs. Norris ended up breaking the record player since she too thought that her owner was a horrible dancer. Good judgment...

It was pretty funny, though.

I sat outside by the big willow tree by the Black Lake. I was wearing a beanie and boots and a scarf and a coat and gloves and stuff, so don't get mad at me.

George then came over to me, and knelt on one knee, and handed me a white rose before saying:

"Madison Lillian Potter- will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"

I smiled, and nodded my head.

"Yes, yes, yes! George, you didn't even have to ask. Okay, yea you did, or else I'd be pretty ticked off at you..."

"It's because I'm a gentleman. It runs in the family."

He handed me the white rose, and I held it. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips, and together, we walked into the castle, hand in hand.

What also made it perfect was that the time of day that we were walking into Hogwarts Castle was....

It was sunset.

And the sun was setting right over the Black Lake.

What a perfect moment...
