Lust for Life

As the weeks went by Hermione and myself were in the library together one day.

Krum came out of nowhere.

“Erm… Miss. Granger.” Krum spoke, I nudged Hermione and she looked at him, smiles on both of our faces as I stepped back, “Would you do me the honor of being my date to the Yule Ball?” Krum taken Hermione’s hand, Hermione smiled and looked at me I nodded excitedly,
“Yes.” she spoke, Krum kissed Hermione’s knuckles as he bowed and left.

Hermione looked back at me as we both quietly screamed at each other,
“I can’t believe that just happened.” I whispered,
“I know.” Hermione’s face was bright red, I hugged her dearly as she suddenly pulled back, “I need a dress.” Hermione spoke,
“My mum’s sent me one, though I don’t know if I’m going cos’ nobody has asked me yet.” I explained,
“Really?” Hermione sounded surprised,
“Don’t sound surprised, you know why I haven’t been asked yet… I’ll never get asked…” I snapped and sat down. Hermione sat next to me, and put her hand on my shoulder, “Who would want to date a half witch, half vampire girl anyway…” I shrugged, “I don’t even care to be honest… its not like I’m good looking anyway… I’m not even that fun…” I added.

“Don’t say that.” Hermione spoke,
“Why not? It’s all true.” I spoke,
“Well… maybe you could go with Harry or Ron?” Hermione suggested,
“I bet they haven’t even thought of asking us to be honest…” I explained and banged my head on the table.

I sat back up,
“Let’s head to the Great Hall anyway… might as well hand in our assassments to Snape…” I explained, Hermione nodded as we left the library.



“This is mad. At this rate, we’ll be the only ones in our year without dates.” Ron spoke just as Snape pushed his head down to work, “Well, us and Neville.” Ron smirked,
“Yeah, but, then again, he can take himself.” Harry spoke, Ron sniggered at that,
“It might interest you to know that Neville’s already got someone.” Hermione spoke,
“Now I’m really depressed.” Ron spoke, tapping his pen on the table.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were all sat in a row as I was sat opposite Ron. Fred quickly thrown a note across to Ron who picked it up, he gave the note back to Fred.

“Who are you going with, then?” Ron asked, Fred smirked and thrown a piece of paper to Angelina.
“Oi, Angelina?” Fred whispered,
“What?” she mouthed,
“Do you wanna go to the ball with me?” Fred whispered,
“To the ball? Yeah, all right.” Angelina nodded with a smile, Fred winked at Ron as he looked at Hermione.

“Oi, Hermione.” Ron spoke, “You’re a girl.” He added, I smirked,
“Very well spotted.” Hermione spoke,
“Come with one of us?” Ron asked, Snape hit Ron and Harry on the back of their heads.

“Come on. It’s one thing for a bloke to show up alone. For a girl, it’s just sad.” Ron spoke,
“I won’t be going alone, because, believe it or not, someone’s asked me!” Hermione stood up taking her book to Snape. He took it off her, Hermione stormed back, “And I said yes!” she snapped and taken her other books leaving me with Ron and Harry.

“Bloody hell. She’s lying, right?” Ron asked,
“If you say so.” Harry spoke and looked at me, I shook my head and mouthed,
“No.” I looked back at my book

“Look, we’ve just gotta grit our teeth and do it. Tonight, when we get back to the common room we’ll both have partners. Agreed?” Ron asked,
“Agreed.” Harry spoke as Snape pushed their heads down again making me smirk.

“I’ll see you boys back at the common room,” I smiled and taken my books.
