Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the characters, and if you think some of my idea's aren't original and all that, then they probably aren't! But I promise I didn't steal them from anyone, and that I thought of them by myself, it's just that someone used it before me without my knowing.

Who are you going to the dance with?
By Ji-chan A.K.A. Anime Gal
---------------------------------------------------------------
What the heck? Why can't I walk? Hermione looked down to see. But there was nothing tangling her legs up, and to her surprise she was wearing a dress. She was wearing a long, slim fitting, spaghetti strap dress that was cerulean blue with a silky blue shoal to match. Her dress and shoal were enchanted so that they would change in color every few minutes. Hmm, where did I get this dress? She thought.
"What are you thinking about?" said the person she was dancing with.
"Oh...I just was thinking I've never seen this dress before in my life." Hermione looked up at Ron....no wait a minute. Why am I dancing with Harry? She thought surprised. I must be dreaming. So she decided to wake up.
"Weird." She said aloud as she sat up sleepily from bed. That was so odd. Why was I dancing with Harry? I don't like Harry; I like Ron...even though Ron hasn't asked me to the dance. How did I know I was dreaming? I wish I had that dress in my dream for the dance. Wow...the dance is only two days away! I can't wait!
"What?" Leah asked. Leah was Hermione's new roommate. They had met at the beginning of the year.
"Huh?" Hermione said. She wasn't quite awake yet.
"What's weird?" Leah was putting on her make-up. She was such a glamour girl. Or at least she looked like one. She had high cheekbones, and slick blonde hair. She was part Veela. She didn't act like a glamour girl though. She was actually great at spells and Transfiguration. But even still people thought she was stuck up by the way she looked. So she ended up with Hermione.
"I had a dream.... I don't know it was just weird." She mumbled quickly. She didn't want to tell her. Leah always tried to predict stuff anyway, just because her mom was a famous divinator. If not that she'd probably make fun of her.
"What...I had a dream, blah-blah blah-blah-blah? I didn't get that last part, can you say it again?" Leah said laughing.
"Oh be quiet!" Hermione threw her pillow at her roommate (which hit her in the back of the head and making her swerve lipstick up her cheek). "Haha!" Hermione laughed pleased.
"Hey!" Leah threw the pillow back at her and they started a pillow fight. They got their wands out and were flying pillow after pillow in the other direction, trying to dodge the ones thrown.
"No! Hey!! Stop it!!! I'll stop if you stop!" Hermione said, half laughing, half-serious.
"No you stop!" Leah she threw three pillows Hermione's way. One hit her by the foot and she tripped, dropping her wand in front, and falling on the pillow in front of her.
"No you!" Hermione grabbed her wand "Accio pillows" and at once all the pillows flew from Leah's side of the room to her, some of which hit her if she didn't catch them. "Ha!" She said proudly when Leah stood unarmed.
"Fine, you win." Leah said reluctantly as she sat down next to Hermione on the pillows. "So what was weird?"
"I had a dream about...about the dance. But it was different because..." she trailed off. It was dumb dream anyway, she thought to herself.
"Because.........come on, spit it out." Leah said annoyed.
"Well, you're gonna think this is stupid, but I dreamt I was dancing with Harry instead of Ron, and I was wearing a dress I had never seen! The weirdest part was I knew...HEY! Are you listening to me?" Camille sat deep in though. Why does she always do that? I start to tell her what she asks and she decides to stop listening! Any second now she's going to decide I like Harry and not even pay attention to anything else I say. 3...2...1.
"I think that you like Harry!!" Leah said finally. "Or that you will go out with him soon in the future."
"I don't like Harry..." Hermione started, but was quickly interrupted by Leah.
"You don't know that. What if you secretly do? What if your dreams are telling you that? Besides, you don't even know why you like Ron." she pointed out.
"No really, I don't like Harry, I like Ron. Ron's funny, charming, and considerate. I mean, I can be myself around Him, but I can't do that with Harry. Harry makes me feel weird, like I'm pressured to be better than him because he's famous or something." She said seeming pleased with her answer. Of course I don't like Harry! She thought. I'm one of his best friends! But then again...I was one of Ron's best friends too... oh! Why are you thinking about it! She's just making you doubt!
"I'm just kidding." Leah said seeing the frustration on Hermione's face. "So if Ron is the funny charming considerate one, than what's Harry supposed to be?" Leah liked Ron...but she knew Hermione and Ron were so cute together, but neither of them new if Ron liked Hermione yet. Everyone thought that Harry and Leah liked each other though, because of how much the same they were.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"I'm going off to work now, ok sweetie? Janice's gonna come at 12 to baby-sit today." Leah's dad told her. His name was Joel. His 8-year-old daughter Leah was crying because she didn't want him to go to work. It was a daily routine. "I'll be back at 3. I love you." He said hugging her. He walked to open the door, but it burst open before he could get to it. Standing in the doorway was a woman Leah had seen many times in Magazines and on TV. It was her mom, Jane. "What are you doing here?" Joel looked angry "The judge said I have full custody of...." But her yelling interrupted him.
"You've got to run Joel! You've got to get out of here! He's coming for you!! He's going to kill you!!" She was in tears. "I know you hate me telling you the future, but I still care for you and our daughter. I've told you about what would happen before, and now it's really happening! I know I have no proof but it will happen and we can only protect her with the ring! You can let me take her. I'll take good care of her!"
"No, He...he was killed...by...by the Potter boy!"
"I'm so sorry Joel. I know this is late notice, but I'm not lying." She said sadly. "I wish I was."
He looked very solemn and depressed. He knew he could trust her to tell the truth even if they were divorced. She was famous for never having a wrong prediction, not to mention she was extremely pretty, being half Veela. He knew she wouldn't waste her record to lie about You-Know-Who.
"What are you talking about? My Dad is going to work! He can't be late!" Leah said trying to convince herself.
He walked to his daughter "Princess, daddy's going to be leaving...for a long time..." Tears choked him. Leah was confused. You just said you were going to work at the Ministry she thought. "But I know you're going be very happy and successful in life. Here." He took a ring of his finger and took her hand.
"You will know when to use it when it is time." He told her putting the ring on her finger. She could feel by the vibes that it was definitely an enchanted ring. It fit right to her size when she slipped it on. "I'm going to a place far from here. You'll find out soon." He said softly, and if she wasn't mistaken, through the tears she saw a tiny smile. He got up and his face again turned solemn. Suddenly two wands appeared, floating in the air. Both had odd markings. Joel and Jane each took one. Leah felt the ring vibrate.
"What's going on? Why-" But suddenly a barrier was formed around them. It cut out all sound. It was pinkish-bluish and it seemed to flood light in all around them. Joel took her left hand.
Jane and Him put both wands in the middle of the back of her hand. Leah felt her hand burn. The ring was vibrating more now. The light was closing in, surrounding them Leah had to close her eyes because it was so blinding. She heard echoes...no, whispers in the back of her head. Who was saying it? Where are we? She thought. What's going on? Where is dad going? Why is he leaving for a long time? What are those voices saying? She heard something about a planet...and 9 what? Guardians...crowns? It didn't make sense...but then a familiar tone raised above the other voices.
"Good-bye sweetie...I love you." He said in the same echo whisper as the other voice. "You'll see me again." She felt his hand brush her cheek. She tried to speak, but the barrier only let mumbles came out. She reached out a hand where her dad had been. But he wasn't there. She saw the light die down through her eyelids. She squinted to see where her dad had went, only to see her mother was looking out the door, her face tear stained. Her dad was no longer there.
"Where..." Leah started, but a lump was in her throat. Tears filled her eyes. She tried not to cry, but she had no control of them dripping down her face. She ran out the door and looked both ways down the street.
"He apparated." Jane muttered. She took Leah by the hand. With a determined look in her face, she wiped the remains of her tears. "You're coming to live with me now. You can go pack your stuff. I'll be waiting in the car making schedules for your staying." She pointed to the limo outside.
Leah went to her room slowly. She had never been so sad and so confused. Where did my Dad go? Why did he leave me with Jane? What was happening? And why did this all happen so fast?
I didn't even get to say good-bye, she thought. She got a suitcase and started throwing clothes in. She only packed her favorite things. She knew her mom would buy her anything she wanted anyway. She went to her desk for some of her books. She stopped to look at a picture of her and her dad sky diving. Her dad had always done daring things. Why was Voldemort after him? What he ever do to Voldemort? Leah's sadness turned into anger. I swear I will have revenge on Voldemort for taking my father away from me. She held the picture close to her. Then put it in her bag, and went to the car.
When riding in the car, Leah decided not to look back. It's best if I just forget this, she thought. For the first time, Leah noticed her hand. On the back of her hand were some freckles she had never seen before. What the heck? What did they do to me? She started to cry. Even if she could forget what happened, there would still be her ring, the markings on her hand, herself - and they would all remind her of her dad. I'll just worry all I can, she told herself, until I can't worry at all.
During the next weeks Leah was treated like a goddess in her mom's new home. Her mom made her take lessons for everything. Dancing, piano, fencing, karate, gymnastics, anything -- Leah was good at them all. She was trying to get her mind off of her dad, and to do so; she put all her effort into anything possible. She took the most liking to gymnastics though. She long and flexible - made for the sport. When she was eleven she was accepted to Hogwarts, but she didn't want to leave America just yet. So she moved to Hogwarts in her 5th year.

"LEAH! Earth to Leah!! Are you there?!" Hermione shook Leah
"Huh? Oh, sorry."
"What happened? You all of a sudden zoned out!"
"I...I was just thinking about my dad."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Hermione gave Leah a hug. "Let's go eat breakfast and not worry about anything ok?"
"K, but Hermione, what will you do if Ron doesn't ask you to the dance?"
"I don't know if I'd go. If you go stag, I'll go stag too."
"So you won't ask him? If you don't ask him, you'll never know if he likes you!"
"I'd rather not know if he doesn't. Let's just go eat! I'm starving!!" They walked to the common room where Harry and Ron were.
"You guys took forever! We thought it would be fun if we ate breakfast here instead of in the Great Hall!" Harry said, holding out two plates of food.
"Yah, we thought both of you guys ditched...and that's like impossible!" Ron joked. Hermione laughed. She wanted Ron to know she thought he was funny. Hermione took a seat by Harry. She didn't want anyone to know she liked Ron. Leah sat on the other side of Harry. She didn't want Hermione to think she liked Ron.
"Why doesn't anyone want to sit by me? Geez, Harry is always mister popular!" Ron said sarcastically. So Harry got up and sat by Ron.
"Happy now?" Harry said, and then they all ate breakfast.
Later Harry and Ron went off to their classes by North hall, and Leah and Hermione went towards their classes.
*****************************
"Harry, who are you asking to the dance?" Ron asked. What if Harry wants to ask Hermione too?
"Well, I don't know. Why did you want to ask someone out Ron? I'll go stag if you go stag, but if you go with someone, then I could find someone too." Does Ron want to ask Hermione too?
"Well I wanted to ask Hermione...but if you wanted to I'd let you ask her."
"No, it's ok. I was thinking of asking Leah anyway."
"I knew you liked her! Why didn't you tell me?" Ron said, giving Harry a nudge with his elbow.
"I don't like her, I just don't want to go stag if you're not going stag!"
"Yah, whatever." Ron said with disbelief. "If a girl asked you to the dance what would you do?"
"I guess I'd say yes, if I was a friend of that person. What would you do?"
"I'd say yes too, it'd be kind of mean if you don't say yes, huh?"
"Yah I guess so. I've gotta get to class Ron, see ya in a bit!" Harry said as he ran off to his class.
"Kay!" Ron called back. Harry acted weird just then, Ron thought. He almost seemed sad that I was asking Hermione out.
********After School - in the common room********
"Gawd! I hate school! I can't stand this stuff!" Ron said trying to do his homework.
"You're just not trying hard enough!" Hermione said with a smirk. She tried to help him.
Leah looked at them. They were an okay couple. They just didn't seem to fit. Ron was unorganized, and odd, and Hermione was so - not. But if they liked each other...the it's okay, Leah thought to herself. She wished Ron liked her, and that he would look at her the way he looked at Hermione.
Harry looked at Leah. Hmm...I wonder what she thinks of Ron and Hermione. Leah's cute; she's nice, smart, pretty. I wish I liked her. I wish I liked someone who liked someone else.
"Harry, does Ron like Hermione?" Leah asked. Please say no, Please say no, she thought.
"Well, I think so...yah." Harry said. He didn't like admitting it. But everyone would know soon, when Ron asked Hermione to the dance anyway.
"I'm tired of this! Why won't he just ask her out already?" Leah said. "I'm gonna do something about this."
"What? You can't speed up time or anything." Harry said hopelessly. It was tiring watching them flirt around.
"You just watch me." She went right up to Ron and said, "Ron, will you go with me to the dance?" Leah smiled to herself. Of course he'll say no, and then everyone will know he likes Hermione, and then he'll ask her to the dance.
Hermione gave Leah a mad stare. What in the hell is she doing?! She can't ask him that! She knows that I like him.
Harry stared at what was going on...actually the rest of the common room was waiting for the answer too. "I'd say yes too, it'd be kind of mean if you don't say yes, huh?" That's what Ron said, Harry thought.
Ron looked shocked. What am I going to do? I wanted to ask Hermione out, but I said I'd say yes if another girl asked me out. Well, if I say no, then everyone will know I like Hermione. Is that bad? No, but then what if I asked Hermione and she said no? Then I'd just be embarrassed even more.
"Um...sure. I'll go with you." Ron said. Leah stared at him with disbelief.
"Y..You will? Are you s...sure you want to go with me?" Leah said. She was in a state of shock. Hermione gave Leah a hurt look. Then she stood up to leave.
"Hermione!" Harry called. "Do you want do go with me to the dance?" He blurted out. What did I just say? He thought.
Hermione looked confused, then she smiled and said, "Sure Harry, I'd love to go with you."

"I had a dream.... I don't know it was just weird." She mumbled quickly. She didn't want to tell her. Leah always tried to predict stuff anyway, just because her mom was a famous divinator. If not that she'd probably make fun of her.

"He apparated." Jane muttered. She took Leah by the hand. With a determined look in her face, she wiped the remains of her tears. "You're coming to live with me now. You can go pack your stuff. I'll be waiting in the car making schedules for your staying." She pointed to the limo outside.
Leah went to her room slowly. She had never been so sad and so confused. Where did my Dad go? Why did he leave me with Jane? What was happening? And why did this all happen so fast?
I didn't even get to say good-bye, she thought. She got a suitcase and started throwing clothes in. She only packed her favorite things. She knew her mom would buy her anything she wanted anyway. She went to her desk for some of her books. She stopped to look at a picture of her and her dad sky diving. Her dad had always done daring things. Why was Voldemort after him?

Dancing, piano, fencing, karate, gymnastics, anything -- Leah was good at them all. She was trying to get her mind off of her dad, and to do so; she put all her effort into anything possible. She took the most liking to gymnastics though. She long and flexible - made for the sport. When she was eleven she was accepted to Hogwarts, but she didn't want to leave America just yet. So she moved to Hogwarts in her 5th year.

Leah looked at them. They were an okay couple. They just didn't seem to fit. Ron was unorganized, and odd, and Hermione was so - not. But if they liked each other...the it's okay, Leah thought to herself. She wished Ron liked her, and that he would look at her the way he looked at Hermione.
Harry looked at Leah. Hmm...I wonder what she thinks of Ron and Hermione. Leah's cute; she's nice, smart, pretty. I wish I liked her. I wish I liked someone who liked someone else.
"Harry, does Ron like Hermione?" Leah asked. Please say no, Please say no, she thought.
"Well, I think so...yah." Harry said. He didn't like admitting it. But everyone would know soon, when Ron asked Hermione to the dance anyway.
"I'm tired of this! Why won't he just ask her out already?" Leah said. "I'm gonna do something about this."
"What? You can't speed up time or anything." Harry said hopelessly. It was tiring watching them flirt around.
"You just watch me." She went right up to Ron and said, "Ron, will you go with me to the dance?" Leah smiled to herself. Of course he'll say no, and then everyone will know he likes Hermione, and then he'll ask her to the dance.
Hermione gave Leah a mad stare. What in the hell is she doing?! She can't ask him that! She knows that I like him.
Harry stared at what was going on...actually the rest of the common room was waiting for the answer too. "I'd say yes too, it'd be kind of mean if you don't say yes, huh?" That's what Ron said, Harry thought.
Ron looked shocked. What am I going to do? I wanted to ask Hermione out, but I said I'd say yes if another girl asked me out. Well, if I say no, then everyone will know I like Hermione. Is that bad? No, but then what if I asked Hermione and she said no? Then I'd just be embarrassed even more.
"Um...sure. I'll go with you." Ron said. Leah stared at him with disbelief.
"Y..You will? Are you s...sure you want to go with me?" Leah said. She was in a state of shock. Hermione gave Leah a hurt look. Then she stood up to leave.
"Hermione!" Harry called. "Do you want do go with me to the dance?" He blurted out. What did I just say? He thought.
Hermione looked confused, then she smiled and said, "Sure Harry, I'd love to go with you."
