"Attention everyone," said Dumbledore loudly, "I have an announcement to make."
Oh no, I hope it isn't something horrible that's happened!
"There will be a ball held for everyone that resides here during Christmas. Head boy and girl will be in charge of planning this ball."
Oh goodness, I'm the head girl ! I do not know how I will manage to do all of this. Well, Ron is head boy. He will be able to help. However, the last time there was a ball it did not go so well. While Hermione was thinking about this Ron was trying to get her attention.
"Er, Hermione? Are you okay?"
"Yes Ron. I'm fine. Do you know when we are supposed to see Dumbledore about the ball?"
"No, do you think we should go after dinner or first thing tomorrow morning?"
"I think we should go as soon as we can."
"Okay as long as I can eat the rest of my dinner, "said Ron as he wolfed down the rest of his food.
"Oh Ron food really is all you think about isn't it!"
"No, I only think about it when I am hungry."
"Ron you are hungry all the time."
"Ha ha 'Mione! Are you ready?"
"Yes Ron. Let's go!"
We headed to Dumbledore's office. While we were walking I couldn't thinking about Ron calling me 'Mione. Now don't get me wrong I like the nickname. It's just that every time he calls me that I can't pretend like it doesn't make chills go down my spine or make my entire get that tingly sensation that your foot gets when it falls asleep.
I was brought out of these thoughts when Ron said, "We're at Dumbledore's office. Do you think we should just go on up?"
"Yes, I'm sure he will let us in."
As soon as Hermione and Ron got to the top of the staircase the door to his office swung open.
"Hello Ron, Hermione, "said Dumbledore as they sat down, "There are a few things you should know about this ball. The rules will remain the same as your everyday rules. You two must set a good example. I trust that you will. Also, there is something else that you should know. I hope that neither of you will object to doing this. You two will be going together."
"Why?, "said Ron and Hermione in unison.
"Well, you two will start the dance but I also want you to go together so that if I need you to take care of a discipline or other issue then I won't have to disrupt any one but you two. Just look at this as a duty. I'm sure it won't be a problem seeing as you two are close friends."
"Okay Professor, I'm fine with that," said Hermione.
"Yeah, I'm okay with it also," stated Ron.
"Well, that is may be on your way." said Dumbledore.
Wow, I can not believe that this is happening. Ron and I are actually going to something as a couple. I just hope that we can avoid any rows so that this can be the best ball ever.
