Dear Diary,

Today was a confusing day, as you know the Yule Ball is coming and I am very excited for it. A lot of Slytherin boys have asked me to the ball but I turned them down. I didn't want to go out with, especially since I saw what Blaise did to his last girlfriend, I don't want to be his next prey. I just want to go with someone, who find me interesting not my looks. Unfortunately there is no such boy, at least not in Slytherin.

Moving on, in the morning Tracey told me, she already has a date and she refused to tell me about him, not even his name. The nerve of this girl.

After that we went to the breakfast together. Surprisingly several more Slytherin boys asked me to ball, even those from the seventh year but I coldly turned them all down, keeping up my school image of the Slytherin Ice Queen. I don't know why but I didn't know most of them and for the others I didn't felt like it. I hadn't even decided if wanted to stay for Christmas at Hogwarts or I wanted to go home.

So later on, after lunch, I went to the library to work on my arithmancy project. As I sat down to do my work, the Gryffindor Golden Boy came, picked up a book and sat across me on the bench. At first, I didn't think any of it. Then a few minutes later, he looked up at me, address me by my first name and said he wanted to ask me something.

Naturally I was shocked and a little bit curious. Harry Potter wasn't known for interacting with a Slytherin so nonchalantly. I immediately thought it was probably an academic question, so I told him to go on.

At first he was stuttering too much and tripping over his own words, which was, I accept, a little cute.

Then he asked something almost in a whisper so I asked him to repeat himself. Then he said it so fast I almost didn't catch it but I managed to hear a few words such as 'gt to' and 'Yule Ball'.

I was shocked was he really asking me what I thought he was. I thought he was going to ask to that Chang, everybody thought.

To clarify myself, I hesitantly asked him if he was asking me to the Yule Ball. He dumbly nodded and I too was left speechless. Harry Potter, Gryffindor Golden boy was asking me to the ball. A Slytherin and a Gryffindor, let alone the Boy-Who-Lived, going together to the Yule Ball would be a strange sight. No doubt, my house won't take it kindly. I could already see Draco ranting in the common room.

I thought for a moment, he is a decent guy and if I'm looking for a date then he is a better choice than the Slytherin boys, it's not like any other boy from another house would be brave enough to ask me. And after the stunt he pulled in the last task, every girl in school will be excited to go with him. It seemed like my only chance, so I said yes. Oh you should have seen the gleam on his face, it literally lightened the whole room. I couldn't resist but show him one of my own.

Then all of a sudden that smile vanished and concern took its place. It also confused me, so I asked him what was troubling him and he hesitantly replied 'I can't dance'.

I couldn't help but laugh at that and as I laughed, he blushed, which made me laugh even more. Then he said that I had a beautiful smile and it was my turn to blush and this time he smiled and I told him he had great smile. This was not my usual self, I am not usually like this especially around boys.

Then I offered to teach him to dance and he accepted, so we agreed to meet tomorrow after lunch , when we both had free classes, in the abandoned classroom on the second floor. I am already too excited for it.

My excitement didn't go unnoticed, as soon as entered my dormitory, Tracey noticed my smile and asked my why was I smiling. Immediately I realized it was the perfect chance for revenge, so I told her someone asked me to the ball and I accepted.

As I expected, the gossip queen of Slytherin grew over excited and immediately asked me who it was. Just to repay her in kind, I stubbornly refused to name him.

So for the next two hours she badgered me to tell her but I refused. Oh revenge sweet revenge.

Now, it's late in the night, I think its past midnight, but I can't sleep. I'm still thinking about him. I still can't believe it. Sometimes I think it's a sick Gryffindor joke but then I think harry is too kind for that, but then again what do I know about him, I just talked to him for the first time this afternoon. I'm still pondering on why would he ask me? I mean he could have asked anyone, why me? why a Slytherin?

I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Yours Sincerely,

Daphne
