I apologize I need to start setting alarms so that I don't forget to update.

Summary: Barry's friends are bugging him to find a date for the Yule Ball. Only problem is that Barry doesn't enjoy dancing and wasn't planing on going, but after some bugging he agrees to try and find a date. The loner slytherian seems to be the best choice.

"So Barry do you have a date for the Yule Ball yet," Cisco asked his friend as he sat down next to his friend in the great hall for lunch.

"No. I wasn't planning on go. Remember?"

"Barry You have to go. The school doesn't hold dances very often. This may be your only chance," Caitlin told him as she sat down across from the two boys.

"I'm just not big on dancing," Barry told the two as he filled his plate up with the surrounding food.

"Well either way you don't want to be alone. Go find yourself a date. You don't even have to dance," Cisco told him as he opened a book to get caught up with in potions.

"I'll try," Barry told him, noticing that he was being ignored for homework now.

Barry finished his food and decided to go out to the courtyard. He had a free hour after lunch anyway. He usually spent his free time without his two friends in gryffindor with his slytherin friend, Oliver Queen.

"Hey Oliver," Barry said in greeting as he found the slytherin sitting under a tree and decided to join him.

"Hey Barry. Any plans for the Yule Ball yet," Oliver asked him once Barry was seated.

"No. Caitlin and Cisco both told me that I should find a date, but I don't see the point. I don't like dancing so I don't see the point," Barry told him.

"Then don't get a date."

"I told them that I would try to find someone."

"Don't go."

"I told them that I wasn't planning on it and Caitlin beat me with facts."

"They don't control your every move Barry. If you don't want to go, then don't go. If you want a date then get a date," Oliver told him with a glare.

"Yeah. I guess," Barry said as he looked up.

On the pavement where the bricks and arches are was a boy in green and silver playing with his wand as he was sitting on the bricks. Barry could barely see his eyes, but he could tell that the eyes were cold and calculating.

"Who's that," Barry asked Oliver as he pointed towards the boy.

"That's Leonard Snart. He's in our year, a slytherin, so my house. A loner. He has one friend, Mick Rory. Sometimes he hangs out with other, but usually when that happens Rory dragged him along. Most of the house ignores him," Oliver told him as he looked at Snart and watched Barry at the same time. Oliver could see something in his friend change at the mention of the boy being ignored.

"Why does your house ignore him," Barry asked him and Oliver could see the curiosity sparkle in the gryffindors eyes.

"Well it says that one of his parents is a muggle and the other is a squib, so to slytherin he's a muggle born. It doesn't help his case when he does his best to avoid people as well. Another thing is that people say he's a dark wizard and he follows Voldemort. No one really believes that theory. The last reason is that he uses dark magic, of course nothing has been proven. These are all just rumors," Oliver told him and that sparkle in Barry's eyes grew.
