Chapter 4 is about to start. I can just see you all gripping onto the edge of your seats. Just joking.
I really hope you enjoy this chapter!
NB: It's in Smith's point of view.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter series belongs to J.K Rowling. I do not even own this laptop, my parents do.
I can't believe Hermione Granger asked me to go to Slughorn's party with her!
I never really thought about her in that way until she asked. I always thought she thought I was a jerk. I am not a jerk, not like that Weasley.
Her and Potter and Weasley always seemed to be less than friendly in DA meetings last year.
Maybe I've grown on her? Yeah that sounds good, probably not the truth though. I'm in Hufflepuff and we tell the truth, she probably only asked me because she didn't have a date. Yeah, that sounds more like it. I don't know why she didn't ask Potter? He's the Chosen One isn't he? Maybe she didn't want to screw up their friendship.
What about Weasley? I always thought those two had a thing. Wait, I remember Ernie (a/n Macmillan) telling me that he was going out with Lavender Brown. I never liked her.
That would probably make Hermione jealous. Come to think of it, she has seemed much angrier lately. Apart from just before when she asked me out.
She is probably going out with me to take her mind off Weasley. I hate being used!
Still, I don't know that I'm being used, no one else does either. They will all be seriously impressed that the smartest witch in 6th year (and probably 7th too) asked ME out. That's why I said yes, plus I was pretty scared she might hex me like she did to that sneak Marietta last year.
What am I going to wear? I think I packed my dress robes, I hope so.
I wonder what she'll wear. She looked amazing at the Yule Ball a few years ago. That dress was fabulous. I wonder if she'll wear something like that. What about her hair? She made it smooth for the Yule Ball. Mind you, she did go with Viktor Krum so that's why she probably put loads of effort in. I'm probably not worth that much trouble.
This is doing wonders for my self-esteem. Please note the sarcasm. Just stop thinking about it Zacharias!
At 7:55pm I am standing and waiting in the Entrance Hall. I found the dress robes. They were at the bottom of my trunk; I had to unpack and re-pack the whole thing.
She walks down the entrance hall. She isn't wearing her Yule Ball dress (I didn't expect her to as she probably doesn't fit it anymore) but she is wearing a cute purple dress. It comes down to her knees and goes out for the skirt bit. It has spaghetti straps and I'm not going to lie, she looks amazing.
She teams this outfit with simple black strappy sandals. Her hair is smooth (Ha Weasley, I'm just as important as Krum) and is put back in a bun, similar to the way she had it at the Yule Ball.
"You look amazing." I tell her as she spots me and walks over.
"Thanks, you look nice too." She replies. Then we stand their looking like morons for a minute or two, neither of us really knowing what to say.
"Shall we go then?" I asked her.
"Yes, lets." She said and we walked off, up to Slughorn's office.
Take that Weasley, you snooze you lose. I thought to myself as I saw Weasley come in the entrance hall from what looks like some Quidditch practice (by himself of course as most of the rest of the team was going to the party).
He's going to need practice if he thinks he has a chance of beating us in the next match.
He scowls at Hermione and I as we walk past, Hermione rushes on, pulling me along, and doesn't make eye contact. I look down at her and notice she's blushing scarlet.
That sucks. I'm her date and yet she's blushing because of another guy.
Maybe he wins round one, but he is so going down in round two.
Author's note: I am surprised how long this chapter is. At the start I was struggling and thought I may only hit like 200 words (it's like 700 now).
Sorry, I know I promised the party in this scene but I just didn't think I could lead it on since the party is going to be in Hermione's point of view and I like my chapter's being in one person's point of view and not split.
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. PLEASE please keep reading and reviewing!
Thanks a bunch.
