"He's at perfect liberty to kiss whoever he likes. I really couldn't care less. Was I under the impression he and I would be attending Slughorn's Christmas party? Yes. Now, given the circumstances, I've had to make other arrangements." Hermione talks out loud as we walk around the library. "Have you?" Harry asks her. "Yes. Why?" She asks him. "I just thought, seeing as neither of us can go with who we'd really like to... we should go together, as friends." Harry suggested. "Why didn't I think of that?" She sighs. "Who are you going with?" I ask her curious. "Um, it's a surprise. Anyway, it's you we've got to worry about. You can't just take anyone." She looks at Harry. "I would have said yes but Blaise is taking me." I tell Harry as he looks at me.

"See that girl over there? That's Romilda Vane. Apparently she's trying to smuggle you a love potion." Hermione tells him. "Really?" He smiles. "Hey! She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One." She tells him snapping her fingers. "But I am the Chosen One." He says making her hit him on the head with paper. "Okay, sorry. Um, kidding. I'll ask someone I like. Someone cool." He nods his head. "You boys kill me." I grab Hermione's arm walking away with her. "You're taking the creep aren't you?" I ask her making her groan, "Ugh, yes. I had no one else and I can't believe I didn't think of Harry. I thought I was smart." I laugh at her, "You are... Just didn't think that hard."

"You look alright

"You look alright." Blaise jokes with me as I meet up with him in the common room. "Yeah, I didn't really want to dress up." I joke back and hear Pansy and Wendy talk about me. "Ignore her, let's go." He puts his arm out for me and I take it as we leave. "Have you talked to Austin lately?" He asks as we walk. "No, not sense the Wizard tournament when he started yelling at me, so not for a whole year why?" I ask him as his eyes go wide. "He keeps talking about you and Draco. On about how they is something better you both and other things I'd rather not say because it's inappropriate." I roll my eyes. "I swear he was so nice when we met then when Draco and I started talking without fighting he did a 180. Just like Wendy, she was nice then she got a crush on Draco but started to give me shit because we started to get along." I say as we get closer to Slughorns party.

"Maddy!" We hear Draco call my name so I turn around to see no one; but then an arm pops out from the side waving for me to come over. "Go on ahead, I'll be there in a minute." Blaise nods his head then leaves while I walk over to Draco. "You called?" I smile taking a seat on the stairs. "I'm going to try the cabinet and do the other thing as well." He messes with the apple in his hand. "Good luck on that. At least the party will keep Harry busy." I stand back up fixing my dress. "You look lovely." He glances up at me. "It's a gift... from your aunt Bella." I say making me look at me funny. "I know, and I don't know why. I gotta go." I give him a smile before rushing to the party.
