At Number Four, Privet Drive (chapter 3)

A loud cheer sounded throughout the great hall at Dumbledore's announcement. Harry wasn't
going to waste any time after the Yule Ball last year. He got right up and walked over to Cho Chang.
Unfortunately, ha was once again too late. But this time Harry could hardly believe his eyes and ears.
Nonetheless, there was Cho, with a delighted smile on her face, saying, "Of course I'll go to the ball with
you, Fred!" Harry walked back to the Gryffindor table, Feeling a mix of being confused, surprised,
angry, and hurt.

"So, what did Cho say, Harry?" asked Ron.

"I didn't get to ask her. She was too busy saying yes to YOUR BROTHER!" Harry told him.

"Which one?" asked Hermione.

"Fred," Harry told her.

Ron was shocked. "WHAT!?!?! I always thought he liked Katie Bell. Apparently not. Sorry,
Harry."

Meanwhile, Hermione was thinking who she would go with. She figured that Neville would never
ask her, since she turned him down for Krum last time. "Muggles are allowed to the ball," she thought to
herself, "And Dudley is at least my friend, and I KNOW he'll say yes. So I suppose I'll go send him an
owl."

"Where ya going, Hermione?" Ron asked.

"To the owlery. I'm going to ask Dudley. I know he'll go, and the guy I like will never ask me."
At hearing this, Ron and Harry exchanged surprised looks?

"Of course Neville would go with her! What's she thinking?" Ron whispered.

"I don't know, but whatever suits her. I'm more concerned about getting myself a date. I
don't stand a chance with Pavarti anymore, and that basically rules out Lavendar, since they're best
friends." Harry told him.

"How about Ginny?" Ron asked, "no doubt she'll go with you."

"I suppose. She's decent enough. Oy, Ginny!" Harry shouted.

"Yes?" replied Ginny, and when she saw who was talking to her, she blushed furiously.

"Want to go to the ball with me?"

"Okay!" Ginny's face was now the color of her famous Weasley hair. She tuned back to the
fourth years she was talking to, with a huge grin on her face. Harry realized Ron had walked of while he
was talking to Ginny. When he returned, he was sporting a great big smile.

"And where were you?" Harry asked.

"Well, I was thinking…" Ron told him, "Maybe you don't have a chance for Lavendar, but that
doesn't mean I don't. So I asked her, and she said yes!"

"Good for you!"

The next day at breakfast, Feathers flew in with Dudley's reply. Of course he said yes.
Later that day, Hermione was walking to Arithmancy with Neville, and all of a sudden he asked,
"Hermione, will you go to the ball with me?"

Before she even had time to think, her mouth said, "Yes."



Ohhh…. I don't know what's happening next! TWO dates! Who woulda thought! Remember, ten reviews!!
