The weekend went by fast. You had a couple friends round at your house while your mother was out on Saturday night. While Anthony was there, you opted to pretend like nothing had happened, at least for the time being. Afterwards, you met up with Harry and hung out on Rickety Bridge. On Sunday, you agreed to go with Mad Maddy to get a massage in Troll Town, then you and her went round to Ginny's. An overall uneventful weekend.
While the weekend was uneventful, you still felt a heavy pit at the bottom of your stomach. You had never been so nervous and uneasy in your life. First of all, you were starting to feel dangerously emotionally connected with Harry. You had promised yourself that you wouldn't let him play you and break your heart, but you couldn't help but feel a strange draw towards him. You had never felt this way before. It was more than just a physical attraction. You were genuinely beginning to feel connected with him, and it scared you. Just as much as Uma's distaste towards you did. And to put the icing on the top of the cake, you were technically in the middle of covering up for a murderer.
This internal battle of emotions and worries was completely enough for you to forget what you had promised to do for Lefou Deux in order for him to stay silent, that was until he waved you over at the outside of the school during your free period.

"So when's my date?" He immediately questioned.

"Look, I really don't have time for your blackmail bullshit." You told him, looking around to make sure nobody could see you talking to him. 

"Then I'm gonna tell everyone!" He reminded you, visually scanning the grounds, his gaze landing on Zevon, whom was talking to Sammy Smee and Claudine Frollo. "I think I'll start with Zevon, he's good at getting the word out-" He opened his mouth to yell for him, but was cut off when you violently grabbed a hold of his collar and forced him to meet your gaze.

"You need to remember your fucking place on this Isle. You're lucky I'm letting you live-" You could see the fear in his eyes, which probably prompted him to scream Zevon's name.

"You have ten seconds to change your mind." He looked at you smugly.

"Fine." You tossed him to the ground in frustration. "Tomorrow. Six o'clock. She'll meet you at the back alley closest to the barrier, where she can't be seen with you." You stormed off angrily, with no plan. You had no clue who would agree to genuinely go on a date with him. You would just have to hope the first girl you ran into would be kind or desperate enough.

"Someone's not happy." Ginny remarked after you accidentally bashed into her, having paid no attention to where you were going. You internally sighed. She wasn't kind nor desperate. 

Still, you had to try your best. "Could you please do me a massive favour?" 

"Only if you never say 'please' again." 

"I need you to go on a date with Lefou Deux."

She simply looked at you in disgust for a moment before speaking. "I don't do favours." She spun around to walk away, but you grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"I'll pay you."

"No."

"It's really important."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you."

"Then I can't help you."

"Fine." You stomped your foot. "Maybe I'll get Maddy to do it. Could you ask her?" 

"I'm not gonna leave her alone with that creep." Ginny argued. "Even she's above that."

"Ginny you've really gotta help me here, trust me, you wouldn't want this secret getting out either."
