The Ball was incredible.

Dumbledore managed to get the Weird Sisters to play, which was pretty amazing. They played a lot of my favorite songs--which, it turns out, are pretty fun to dance to. Which was a good thing, because Cedric and I danced...well, whenever we could. He's a great dancer. But it's not just that that made it fun.

I'd seen him a few times before, but we hadn't hung out all that much since we're in different Houses and two years apart. But we'd met every once in a while, and I liked him. But last night, I got to spend several straight hours with him (our first date, I guess) and I like him even more. He's really sweet--he held my chair for me, said my robes looked great (I was hoping they would), and was just really nice the whole night.

When we weren't dancing, we talked, and even when we danced, we talked. We have a lot in common--we both like Quidditch, both play Seeker (coincidence? I think NOT! lol), both like Transfiguration (he's a lot better at it than I am, since he's two years older than me...but you probably got that already.). His favorite candy is the Chocolate Frogs (we asked each other stupid questions like that), his favorite color is blue (I am SO glad I went with blue robes!), and he wants to either play Quidditch for Britain or go into magical law when he graduates. (He says it's because there are so many things that are wrong with our system right now; it's not really fair to everyone.) But Quidditch would be his first choice. lol.

It was so much fun! I'm so glad I got to go...and even happier that I go to go with Cedric!

You're lucky. Ron Weasley is a horrible dancer and he spent half the night ignoring me.

Ooooh...that sucks...

The same goes for Harry Potter. He wasn't a very fun date...he may be one of the champions (and really cute!), but don't take him on a date if you want to have a good time.

CEDRIC! You weren't supposed to read that:P

Oops...want me to do a quick Memory Charm so I'll forget it:P

Cedric Diggory

NO! Then you'll end up like Lockhart!

Yeah...I'd rather not be an idiot...

You're anything but.

I'm Pretty Much Awesome

Draco Malfoy

The Ball was fun. Sort of. For a while.

Pansy said she had fun...which is good, because I wasn't sure she was having a good time until she said so. It's not that I'm not observant--I actually think I'm quite observant--but Pansy is kind of...what's the word I'm looking for...moody.

I heard a song that describes her perfectly. It's called "Mood Rings" by Relient K, and the chorus goes "Let's get/ Emotional girls to all wear mood rings/ So we'll be tipped off/ To when they're ticked off/ 'Cuz we'll know just what they're thinking/ Just what they're thinking..." (It also says "She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way/ Her moods are swingin' on the swingset almost every day," and that also describes her. It describes how she was at the Ball, at least.)

We met at the entrance (well, I guess it's more like the exit, since we were inside) of our common room. She looked great--her robes were pink, in case you were interested. It looks good on her. She smiled and giggled, I took her arm (all the other couples were doing it, so I assumed it was what I was supposed to do) and we set off for the Great Hall. She smiled and giggled all the way there like she'd just misused a Cheering Charm.

When we got there, Granger was there too. Somehow, she got herself a date with Krum--and she looked great! I hate to say it, but she really did look great! She'd done something with her hair so it wasn't bushy anymore, her teeth were straight (not long anymore) and her robes were this pale blue. I feel slightly disloyal in saying this, but she looked better than Pansy.

Pansy must've noticed what I noticed (and the fact that I noticed it) because once we were sitting at a table, she turned to me with this worried frown and asked me how she looked.

"You look great," I said.

"Really?"

"Yes." I smiled to let her know I meant it. She smiled back, but that didn't stop her from asking me the same question every ten minutes.

"Look, Pansy, you look fine," I said after the tenth repeat of the same question.

"Just 'fine?'"

"You look good, okay?"

"Just 'good?'"

I did a very stupid thing then. I rolled my eyes before I told her she looked great. Then she started crying and ran off for the bathroom, and I just sat there, watching.

"What'd you say?" Crabbe asked.

I just shrugged. I didn't run after her, but just sat there, waiting for her to come back. She finally did, but was kind of sullen until we had danced for a while. Then she seemed okay. (The Weird Sisters came, which was pretty cool. I like them--they're one of the few wizard bands I like--but it would've been cooler if we'd gotten a Muggle band, like Relient K, maybe? Oh, something more romantic? How about Lifehouse? Or...oh, I don't know...Rob Thomas? (Not one of my favorites, but he's not bad.) Stupid Statute of Secrecy.)

Anyway, I thought she still might be mad at me, but this morning she told me she had a great time. And now it's back to normal. Kind of.

Girls don't make sense.

"Mood ring, oh mood ring, tell me will you bring/ The key/ To unlock this mystery/ Of girls and their emotions/ Play it back in slow motion so I/ May understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind..."


I do plan on doing some other perspectives, but I can't think of any right now.
