*Harry's POV*

It's been three weeks since the Second Task. The Yule Ball is coming up on Saturday and I went to ask Ginny but she said no. She said no! Who else could she possibly be going with other than her boyfriend?

Is it Neville? She went with him last time. I'll kill him.

Anyway, now I'm dateless to the Yule Ball. I can't go with anyone else because Ginny will get mad but she's going with someone else. I know she is because she said no. Did I mention that she said no?

At least I'm not a Champion this year. I won't need to find a date.

But I want to know why she said no.

I'll figure it out at the Yule Ball I guess.

*Ginny's POV*

I said no to Harry when he asked me to the Yule Ball and I heard him yelling at Neville earlier. He's changed since those exchange students came.

Anyway, the reason I said no is because I already had made an agreement to go with Luna as friends since we were both old enough to get in without dates now, so we won't have them because we're not forced.

Anyway, I did tell Harry I would dance with him at least once, but now... I'm not so sure I want to.

*Nico's POV*

At the start of the Yule Ball, I notice 5 people waiting when Thalia, Reyna, Will, and I walk to the door. Marcus Smith, the boy from Ilvermorny, had arms linked with Valentine Diaz, Piper's sister from Camp. Isabelle Rey has her arm linked with a boy from Ravenclaw. I think his name is Charlie Quinn. The last was McGonagall.

"Mister Solace, you and Miss Grace may go in," McGonagall said. Will walked in the door to the Great Hall with his arm linked with Thalia's, both giving me and Reyna one lady look. "Mister Di Angelo, Miss Ramírez-Arellano, you two are at the front of the line."

Why do we have to be in the front?

A couple minutes later, we walked in and danced the first dance.

I know it was awkward with me and Reyna. She's like a sister to me. It would have been fine if I could have put my hand on her shoulder instead of her waist. I won't describe in much detail. Let's just say, my toes were stepped on and Reyna's hair was pulled.

I didn't do it on purpose! I'm just not used to dancing with anyone that has hair that long.

After the painfully long dance, Reyna and I went to find Will and Thalia.

"Okay so that happened," Reyna said. She took Thalia's hand. "Let's dance. Just right here in our corner."

"Us too," Will said, taking my hand. I looked at him.

"Dork," I said. But we danced anyway. We danced in that corner, me with Will and Reyna with Thalia for about an hour straight... or should I say an hour gay? No? Okay then I'm gonna stop now.

After an hour, we heard Piper screaming.

"BAWK BAWK! I'M A FREAKING GOAT SUCKERS!! MOOO!"

She was running around Jason and Leo in a weird pattern.

"SCREW YOU!" She screamed at Jason. "I DON'T NEED YOU TO FLY! I'M A FLYING POTATO CHIP ALL ON MY OWN!" The dance had stopped as we slowly realized that Percy, Leo, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Draco, Seamus, Cho, Justin, Pansy, Harry, Ron, Clarisse... Hazel and Annabeth? were all acting in the same manner.

Jason and Frank held Hazel in place while Frank tried to figure out what was going on.

"She's drunk!" He yelled.

Cliffhanger! Muah Ha Ha Ha Ha! Although not nearly as bad as an author everyone here knows well *cough* Rick Troll Rordain *cough*. A 16 people are now drunk at the Yule Ball. How did that happen...? Guess! Bye guys!
