"ARGHHHHHHHH!" yelled Hermione as she threw her hands up and fell with a thud.

"Oh no! Hermione! Are you ok!" exclaimed Lavender - helping her up and brushing her off.

"Ouch, maybe your not used to heels," suggested Parvati stifling a laugh.

Hermione glared at her and snapped, "oh shut up miss beauty queen!"

Parvati's laughs stopped and looked at Hermione with plead, "Oh come one Herm, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that you looked funny wen you tripped and fell face down." Parvati who found this absolutely hilarious went into another fit of giggles.

Hermione sighed deeply, "sorry guys, it's just, you've been making me try on all these different clothes and shoes and stuff - it just gets tiring, I hardly have anytime to study!"

Lavender who was inspecting Hermione's heels suddenly looked up and stared at Hermione in disbelief, "you have to be the first girl I have heard who does not like to try on clothes - all this studying has gone to your brain!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hermione looked at Lavender accusingly.

Parvati who had gotten over Hermione's fall, sighed, and put her arm around Hermione's shoulder, steering her to look out at the window, "Look Herm, there is more in this world than studying.." Not being able to finish her sentence, Hermione exclaimed, "I know that! I don't study ALL the time!"

"Pffft! Name us one time, on the weekend you have ever just gone with us girls to go shopping? Hmmmm?"

"Ummmm.." "EXACTLY!!" shouted Parvati and Lavender!

Looking a tad bit uncomfortable, Hermione added, "I don't really need to go shopping that much anyways.."

Parvati looked at her, and said with sarcasm juts dripping off her every words "Oh sure! You don't need anything for the Yule Ball in 3 weeks!"

Hitting her head purposely, "OH MY GOSH! I absolutely forgot!"

"FORGOT!" Lavender shrieked! "How could you forget?! Don't you remember the pact we all made about the dance? Don't you even have the slightest idea WHY we are dressing you up?"

Hermione looking very puzzled stammered, "erm.pact? I think I forgot that too, remind me?"

Both girls sighed and just looked at Hermione dumbfounded, and sat in silence for a while hoping she would remember.

Breaking the silence, Parvati spoke in a slow, half sarcastic tone, as if talking to a little child, "Remember how we were all sitting here about 2 weeks ago talking about the ball, and we were talking about who we wanted as out dates and we decided to make a pact that we would all get the best dates ever?"

"Erm.no."

"HERMIONE! You were right there sitting on your bed reading that stupid book!"

"OHHHHHHH!!!! That night!
