A/N: Should I make cell phones exist in Hogwarts? Review to tell me I'm sure their lives would get pretty interesting if they DID exist.

"Oh, just come with me to the dance, I know you aren't going with any one." James told me before Defense Against the Dark Arts. "No! For the last time, no!" I hissed and pushed him away. "Oh but…" He whipped his hand into his sleeve and pulled out three blood red roses. "I know you just love red roses." I crossed my arms. "What will it take for you to go away?" "Come with me to the Yule Ball then." "I'd rather not." "Why not?" James followed as I tried walking away. "Just go away, Jarhead!"

"Listen. I need you…" I put my hands on his shoulder and looked him square in the eyes. "I want you… TO GET OUT OF MY FACE." I yelled.

!#$%^&*

"Go away!" I yelled at him. "I'm not kidding!" James frowned, stepped in front of me, and put on big puppy dog eyes. "Why are you so mean?" He whimpered. "I'm not mean. You're just a sissy." I rolled my eyes and tried to step past him. "See! There you go again!" James exclaimed.

"OK! OK! I'LL GO TO THE FUCKING BALL WITH YOU!" I yelled at him, fuming. My blue eyes blazed with annoyance. James grinned. "Your SO annoying!" I growled and pushed him down onto the powdery snow. He struggled to get back up. I bent down and strangled him down until he was soaking wet from the melting snow.

"Rosewood!" He bellowed. "Oh quit the bellowing, your no stronger than a drowned rat." I told him and rolled my eyes before left him, water dripping off the edge of his glasses, which were now set crooked on his nose.

!#$%^&*

"No!" Abby gasped. "It's true." I confirmed. "You… you gave in?" "He was just so annoying, y'know?" I shrugged. "Who are you and what have you done to my Scarlet?" She yelled. "Sh!"

I looked at the windows of shops on the streets of Hogsmead, we were still looking for the perfect dress. "Are you going to tell Severus?" Abby asked.

"Tell me what?" A voice came from behind. We turned around to see Severus. I tugged my warm, blue knit hat further down my head and brushed off a microscopic speck of dust off my stone washed, light blue jeans.

"It's… nothing." I shook my head. "Nothing you need to worry about." I added. Abby eyed us, then twisted her brown hair out of nervousness. Severus stared at me with emotionless eyes; he knows my weakness… well, one of my many weaknesses.

I sighed. "Yule Ball." I muttered. Severus continued staring. I hesitated. "Let ME just say it then!" Abby interrupted my stuttering. "She's going to the Yule Ball with James." Abby told Severus. Shock, anger, amazement, hatred, and sadness flew across his eyes in a split second. Severus turned to run, but I grabbed his shoulder and flung him around. We looked deep into each other eyes for a second, before I told him, "Not because I want to." He closed his eyes and squirmed out of my grip. I swear I could see a tear drop slid down his pale face as he spun around and ran away.

"Thanks a lot, Abby." I told my best friend and started walking down the street in a huff. "Hey, he was bound to find out sometime!" She jogged to catch up with my quick pace. "I wish he could just see it from my point of view." I shrugged. "Maybe you should see it from his point of view." Abby suggested. I scowled kicked at a mound of snow with my bright yellow high-tops. "Whatever."
