the weeks at hogwarts flew by filled with many things all about harry potter, a death tournament (which dean had extensive lists of problems with and seamus had heard them all) and more excitingly the yule ball and christmas. the yule ball was to be held the week before christmas break and everyone in the school was frantically trying to find a date.
"are you gonna ask anyone dean"
seamus asked looking up at him through his long eyelashes.
"well i dunno shay are you"
"yes"
"really" dean was slightly taken aback "who"
"you"
"funny shay"
"no comm'on let's go together you're the only person i'd wanna spend the night with anyways, there's loads of people just going with their friends"
"right going as friends" seamus could've almost sworn dean looked kinda sad about it.
"it's okay if you don't wanna" seamus said
"no i do it's a right good idea, takes the pressure off having to find a date right"
"yeah" said seamus trying to add a laugh to lighten the mood.
"oh my mum said you could come over for the holidays, you know, if you want" dean said looking down at his hands.
"really" seamus said, his whole face lighting up.
"i'm going to go owl me mum right now" he exclaimed bounding out the common room door.
"so" said ginny vaulting over the couch landing beside dean "you're going to the ball with seamus"
"just as friends"
"you know, me and luna are also going just as friends" ginny said with a wink and dean couldn't help but chuckle.
"yeah but that's different"
"whatever you say, i have to go meet luna" ginny said hoping up. "if one of you guys don't make a move soon i'm going to castrate you both" she said as she walked out the door. dean just shook his head and walked up to the dormitory where ron was loudly complaining about something.
"what's wrong with him" dean asked harry
"he's wallowing because hermione rejected him"
"i am not" ron called out
"but she totally likes him, why'd she do that"
"she does not and i don't like her either"
"he waited too long to ask her so she found someone new, so you best not wait with seamus"
"we're nothing like him and seamus" ron interjected again
"we're already going together actually"
"that's wonderful" harry exclaimed
"as friends"
"oh just get over yourselves already" ron said
"when you telling mione you like her then"
"sodd off" ron said throwing his face into his pillow. dean and harry tried to suppress their laughter which only annoyed ron more.
"oi come on dancing lessons start soon" harry said looking at his watch.
"i don't wanna go" ron groaned.
"maybe you'll get to dance with mione"
"i'll go" ron said standing up "but not for hermione" harry and dean shared a look as the three boys walked down to the great hall, they met seamus on the way and soon ( after a very awkward and very hilarious dance between mcgonagall and ron )the lesson had begun. there were more boys than girls so dean and seamus partnered together.
"shay that's my foot"
"sorry"
"shay that's my other foot"
"sorry"
"shay how are you standing on both my feet at once"
"sorry"
eventually the class was over and ron got his dance with hermione which he was beat red the entire time, but hermione was no longer mad at him she found his clumsiness enduring. before they knew it everyone was dressing up in there best gowns and primping and priming the best they could , the night of the yule ball had arrived.
