Harry Potter Fanfiction~The Finnigans.

Chapter Fifteen~Sweet Invitations.

Another year at Hogwarts had passed. In their 3rd year they had fought dementors, werewolves and Harry had met his God-Father Sirius Black. They were now in their fourth year at Hogwarts. Harry had been unexpectedly been entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. He had already completed one task successfully but now as the second task was lurking and a ball was organised. A ball which Harry, as a champion, had to ask someone to be his date...

Draco approached Chloe while she was reading another comic, this time about Thor. "Hey beautiful." Draco greeted sweetly, kissing her forehead. "Hiya Draco, ye alright?" She said back joyfully. Draco nodded. "I was wondering if you'd like to come with me to Hogsmeade tomorrow? I need to get something." He asked. Chloe smiled and agreed. The next afternoon Chloe met up with Draco and they walked to Hogsmeade together talking about random things. When they arrived Draco led her into a robes shop. Chloe followed him in feeling confused. "Aah, Mr Malfoy, it's in the changing room for you already." The shop owner informed. Draco thanked him and stepped inside the changing room. Chloe waited for him patiently. Draco came back out dressed in smart dress robes. The long tailed blazer and the trousers were both jet black. His shirt was plain white with black buttons and his bow tie was a dark green colour. "What do you think?" Draco wondered doing camp twirls making her laugh uncontrollably. "It's lovely, ye look very handsome, what do ye need it for?" Chloe grinned. Draco handed her a light green piece of paper that was in his pocket. It read 'I'm thinking of getting these robes for the Yule Ball. Why? Because I need to look amazing next to my perfect date...you? x' Chloe's grin widened. "Aw. Draco, of course I'll be your date." Draco's eyes lit up and he kissed her on the cheek before getting changed once more.

Harry planned how he would ask Shannon to be his date to the Yule Ball but every time he went to go it, his nerves took over and he didn't ask her. Finally however his confidence took over and allowed him to go through with it. Harry went up to her in the common room while she was chatting to Ginny. "Um- Shannon. Would you like to take a walk with me? Please? Now?" He asked. Ginny winked at her. "Sure." Harry smiled warmly and helped her up. He led her through the castle to outside the grounds. It was lightly snowing that early evening. Shannon linked her arms with his as they strolled through the grounds talking about various topics. Harry stopped her and took out his wand. He produced music with it before looking at Shannon in her eyes. "Dance with me?" He suggested. She curtsied laughing as she did so before agreeing. Harry held out his hand which she took and  pulled her closer to him. They started dancing perfectly together to the music. When they had finished they both beamed at each other. "Why did ye want me t' dance wi' ye?" Shannon wondered curiously. "Practise." He replied simply. Shannon looked at him with complete bewilderment. "For...?" Harry smirked at her but yet nerves were clearly taking over him as he was physically shaking and shuffling his feet on the ground. "For our first dance at the Yule Ball." He admitted. Shannon felt butterflies take flight in her stomach. "Is this an invitation?" Harry kissed her on the cheek as an answer. "In t'at case, yes I'll go t' the ball wi' ye. Wouldn't miss it for the world." Harry's face was full of bliss. He thanked her and walked her back to the castle.
