Chapter 22 - Yule Ball

"Look at this!" Hermione pulled down the Daily Prophet, "I can't believe it, she's done it again."

"Huh? What happened?" Erica asked, being taken out of a daydream.

"Miss Granger, an ambitious girl seems to have a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, is none other than the Bulgarian Bon-Bon, Viktor Krum." Hermione read the article out.

"Have you even spoke with him?" Erica asked before turning to Harry and hitting his shoulder,"Stop staring at Cho Chang, it's a bit weird doing it at the breakfast table."

"No, not once." Hermione sighed.

Harry spat out his water before turning back to the Herd, "I wasn't staring."

"You were." Parker nodded.

"I may be quite blind but I can definitely tell." Erica stated before looking around,"Oh, a present."

What appeared to be a first year boy handed Ron a box. But the boy didn't leave, he just stared at Harry.

Ron gestured for the boy to leave and he did,"I said I'd get him your autograph."

Erica looked at the box in front of her brother,"What do you think it is Ron?"

"It's from mum." Ron lifted the thing inside of the box out, holding it up, "It's a dress."

"Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet? Aha!" Parker picked it up and held it up in front of Ron with a small laugh.

"Shove off." Ron told her before walking over to Ginny,"Ginny, these must be for you."

"I'm not wearing that, it's gastly." Ginny remarked, staring at it.

"Then it must be yours Erica." Ron looked at Erica.

"I ain't wearing that." Erica stated.

"They're not for your sisters, they're dress robes. They're for you." Hermione explained.

"Dress robes? For what?" Ron asked.

"The Yule Ball." Parker told him.

"You guys have dance practice next." Erica informed them.

"No way am I dancing." Ron shook his head.

"Hey, if we had to, you have to." Parker warned him, shivering at the thought of dancing.

"It's dancing, relax." Erica rolled her eyes, it really wasn't a big deal.

"Who did you guys dance with?" Hermione asked.

"I had to dance with Max." Erica stated, shaking her head.

"That's alright, i-" Harry began before Erica interuptted.

"Max doesn't like me at all because of Harry becoming the fourth champion." Erica sighed.

"Max has always been a bit of a prick though." Parker sighed.

"I mean, at least I didn't have to dance with our dear potions master." Erica joked, looking at Parker.

"You what?" The boys and Hermione looked at Parker.

"Not my choice! I was distracted, everyone else stepped back then next thing I knew I was getting pushed into the middle." Parker crossed her arms.

"It's going to be fun to watch Ron dance." Erica chuckled looking at her brother.

Ron shook his head, "I'm not dancing."

The Herd walked in the room, the boys going to one side and the girls at the other.
