Chapter 31 The Yule Ball

Hey guys! It's time!

Let's do it! Let's get this bread gamers!

I'm tired, okay? work with me.

I'm sorry it took so long..

So, recap. Cuz that's a thing.

Last time, we told Harry and Ron about our relationship. Then we practice dancing for the Yule Ball with Hermione. Then we saw a baseball game where the kid hit a homerun. Then we had some alone time with Hermione. Then we asked Hermione to the Yule ball and saw the Kid get asked to the Yule Ball by Alice Robert.

So, without further adieu, let's get to it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your POV...

It's been a long week. I've gotten what I'm going to wear to the Yule Ball, which is basically the same suit I wore the the wedding last year. I've tried it on just to see if it fits, which is does and rather well. I haven't seen Hermione's dress, but I'm sure she'll look great. Of course, to me she always does, but still.

I'm sitting with laying back with my head on Hermione's lap as she is reading, just relaxing. I feel Hermione run a hand through my hair. I lightly take her hand and kiss it. She moves up the book and looks at me. I smile and lightly grip her free hand. Most of the people in Gryffindor have learned that we are a couple, so we can at least do thing kind of thing in the common room without having to worry about it.

I look over at Harry, who is just laying down on the couch. He got rejected by the girl he asked to the Yule Ball. I feel bad for him. I hear someone come in and move my head to see people helping Ron into the room. I get up and go over to help him get to a seat. Hermoine and Harry join me as we get Ron to sit down.

"What happened to you?" Harry asks.

"He just tried to ask Fleur Delacour out." Ginny says.

"What?" Hermione gets down on a knee in front of him.

I kneel next to her.

"I thought I told you ask me to help you with this sort of thing." I say, then snap my fingers in front of Ron's face. "Hey. Ron. You listening?"

"What did she say?" Harry asks.

"No, of course." Hermiones presumes.

Ron shakes his head.

"She said yes?" Hermione covers her mouth in surprise.

"Don't be silly." Ron says, in a daze. "There she was, walkin' by. You know I like it when they walk. And it just sorta slipped out."

"He sort of just yelled it at her actually." Gin says.

"Oh, boy." I put my head on my hand.

Hermione rests her hands on my shoulder and lays her head on them.

"What did you do then?" Harry asks.

"What else? I ran for it." Ron says.

He keeps explaining and I take my head off of my hand and put one on one of Hermione's hands. Our fingers lightly intertwine and she leans into me a little more. I look over and see a pair of twin girls walk by. They greet Harry and I just shrug it off. Then I get an idea. I look at Harry and he seems to have the same realization and goes after the twins.

The Kid wanders into this scene and looks around confused for a second. Then takes a seat in a chair and looks at the fire. I look over at him and see he's got a smile on his face.
