The Beginning.
'Hi', said Hermione brightly. "Isn't this great, a new term and
transfiguration next! I love my life."
'Whoopdeedoo!'said Ron sarcastically.
'Guess what?', asked an excited and giggling Lavender with Parvati on her
arm.
'What?', asked Ron dully.
'Theres a halloween ball for us tommorrow! Fifth years only!',Parvati
replied.
'Nooo',wailed Harry and Ron together.
'Well, bye', said Lavender, and, with that, they walked off.
That night in the Gryffindor common room...............
'I will not ask Lavender!'
'Oh, come on Ron, you don't want to go dateless do you?, asked Hermione.
'I don't care if I go or not, Voldemorts loose remember?' Harry said.
Hermione and Ron flinched.
'Don't say his name!', snapped Ron.
At that point Hedwig swooped in with a letter from Sirius Black and Pig
brought a letter from Mr Weasley. Both held important information.
All 3 friends stood staring at the 2 dropped letters.
'Come on', said Hermione, 'Lets take them to my Prefects dorm to read.'
