"I'd shag him until there was nothing left, just a pair of glasses and a damp patch."

Justin heard her whispered words to Harry and felt his heart drop. He was back at Hogwarts for an eighth year, and he had finally worked up the courage to ask his crush of four years, Hermione Granger, out on a date. Since eighth years were allowed to leave Hogwarts grounds on the weekends, he knew he could show Hermione a good time and hopefully, she would want to go out with him again.

And now, he found out he didn't even stand a chance with her. She wanted someone else.

His heart felt like it was breaking as he turned to go. He no longer wanted to be around people so he decided to escape to the library.

He should have remembered that his crush was Hermione Granger. So, if he didn't want to have to see her, he should have picked another location. Any location would have been better than the library.

"Hey, Justin," Hermione spoke softly as she came up to his table.

He didn't look up from his book. "Hello," he muttered. He hoped she would take the hint and leave. Of course, she did the exact opposite of what he wanted and sat down on the other side of the table.

"I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go on a date with me this weekend?"

He dropped his book in shock and mumbled an apology when Pince started screeching at him. "Huh?"

"A date? You? Me? This weekend?"

"But I thought you liked someone else. I heard you talking to Harry –"

"And," Hermione interrupted, "I was referring to you. You're pretty smart most of the time, but like most boys, you can be dumb when it comes to girls. So, date?"

Justin smiled. "I'd love to"
