Dates?

It's three days till the Yule Ball

Still no one has asked me.

Well this is depressing.

Draco and Hermione are keeping their relationship a secret, so he's going with Pansy and she's going with Viktor What's his name.

Fred and Angelina.

Blaise and Luna.

And I don't have a date?!

UGH!

I hate my life.

Whatever.

Maybe I'll be a rebel and go alone?

No, already stick out enough in this school.

I let thoughts and questions flow in my head as I walked to dinner.

When I got to the Great Hall, everyone was talking about the ball.

It didn't help my mood at all.

All the girls were spilling the details of their dresses and all the guys were talking about their dates. I sat down next to Draco and across from Blaise. Their topic of conversation wasn't any different from the rest of the hall.

"Pansy is commanding me to wear black. To match her dress." Draco said.

"Luna just told me yellow. Maybe I'll get her flower to match..." Blaise said.

"It's just a stupid dance." I spat.

"Woah, Ame. What's got your knickers in a twist?" Blaise asked.

"She's just pissed that no one has asked her." Draco replied.

"SHUT IT, DRACO!" I yelled.

Draco and Blaise just smirked at me.

"Someone will ask you, Ame. Don't worry." Blaise said.

"Yeah right. Whatever. I might as well hang out in the common room that night."

"But what about that dress you got? You looked beautiful in it..." Draco said, sadly.

I had gotten a dress. It was lavender and I went down to my knees. It had a sweetheart neck line, strapless, and ruffles on the skirt. I had also gotten a diamond belt and purple heels to match. I was so excited to wear it.

"I just return it." I said disappointed. "I'm full. I'm going back to the common room."

I walked out of the Great Hall, and felt tears streaming down my face. I ran up to my dorm and slammed the door shut. I collapsed on my bed and cried myself to sleep.

**********

I awoke the next morning feeling rather crappy. I walked out of the common room, to find Fred and George waiting for me.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked, confused.

"We thought that you shouldn't have to miss the ball because a guy can't realize how great you are." Fred explained.

"And since Fred's already going with Angelina, I thought you might want to go with me." George said, smiling.

"Of course I'll go with you George!" I said excitedly, and I gave him a big hug.

Maybe this won't be too bad.
