Prisoner of Harry's Heart

Chapter 7: The Yule Ball

"The Yule Ball is a chance for us to... let our hair down." McGonagall paused, as she looked like she had never let her hair down. "Everyone, find a partner and dance. Champions, you will have to dance to start the ball, so you will need a date." Harry and Hermione were instantly walking towards each other. When they got there, they took up customary dancing positions (I've never danced before so I don't know what it is). "Hermione, will you go to the ball with me?"
"You actually had to ask me?"
"Yes, and you actually have to answer me."
"Well..."
"Hermione, I'm dying here."
"Go to Pomfrey."
"Why would I ask Madam Pomfrey to the ball?"
"Well, you spend half of your life in the infirmary."
"That's not my fault. Can you answer me now?"
"Hmm, I'll have to see what other offers come my way first."
"All right, I'll ask Pansy."
"NO! Fine, you've tied my hands. I'll go to the ball with you."
"Did I really need to worry?"
"Of course not, I was simply teasing you."
"That's fine then. How are your toes?"
"You're actually a great dancer."
"Really?"
"Yes, you know I wouldn't lie to you."
"But you said you'd wait until some other offers for the Ball came your way before accepting, and you didn't."
"That was teasing, not lying."
"So are you teasing me about the dancer then?"
"No."
"Good." They continued chatting and dancing like that until it was time for the lesson to end.

Harry and Hermione were sitting around a table in the library, finishing up their (or should that be, Harry's) potions essay, when Krum walked in. Like normal, this meant a large group of fangirls followed him in. As usual, this lead to a rant from Hermione. "Honestly, what's the point? He's not even good-looking, he's dumber than this table at anything except Quidditch, and it's asphodel, not asphodrel."
"Hermione, why do I have to do this essay today? It's not due in for another week!"
"But if we do it now, we can concentrate on the clue!" This lead to another groan from Harry. "'ermione, can I hav a vord vith you?"
"Sure." Viktor waited a moment before replying.
"Privately?"
"Anything you have to say to me, you can say to Harry. If you want, Harry could set up a silencing ward?"
"No, it's fine. I vas vondering, if you vould, go to the ball vith me?"
"No."
"Pardon?"
"I said no."
"Vhy?"
"I'm going with Harry."
"Vhy?"
"Do I really need to explain the reasoning behind everything I do?"
"Yes!"
"Harry's my boyfriend."
"Vhy?"
"What is actually wrong with you?"
"Nothing!"
"Then leave me alone!"
"Vell, if you von't go to the ball vith me, I'll make you."
"Like you're going to attempt that with the most powerful wizard in the world right next to me."
"I am in vy 7th year, he is in 4th!"
"He is also a natural at wandless, animagus and apparation."
"I don't believe you. Imperio!" Hermione just laughed.
"I'm a natural legilimens, you really think a schoolboy imperius curse will hold me?"
"Hermione, should we find Dumbledore? He'll be able to get Krum arrested."
"I am famous!"
"So am I!"

Igor Karkarrof was furious. His champion tried to use an unforgivable on someone! Well, not really that, but he got caught! Now here he was visiting his champion in a ministry cell. He would only be allowed a wand for the tasks, then it would be snapped. There was no way he could win now. (Imagine Bulgarian accents) "Krum, what happened?"
"There was this beautiful 4th year, and I asked her to the ball."
"How did that lead to an inperius curse?"
"She said no!"
"And why did she say no?"
"She was going with Harry Potter!"
"You actual idiot! Putting an inperius curse on his girlfriend could lose you your soul! He's about 3X as famous as you are! What happened next?"
"She just threw the curse of!"
"How?"
"She said she was a natural legilimens."
"Oh yes, very powerful mind magic. Well, nothing I can do for you now. You're expelled."
"What?"
"Goodbye."

Harry and Hermione walked into the ballroom, along with the other 2 champions and their dates who weren't in jail. Everyone picked up on this fact, and it was left to Ron to yell, "Where's Krum?" Dumbledore realised that he would have to make a statement. "Viktor Krum is in jail for attempted use of an imperius curse on a 4th year. Now, start dancing."

A/N: I realise it's short, but I wanted to get it out.
I think it's obvious that I don't like Krum. Anyway, vote and stuff. Thanks for reading. See you later. BTW Ginny took Luna to the ball
