Chapter 3: Bumping Into Couples
"Excuse ME! Pardon me!" yelled Alicia through crowds of people running
to the person they wanted to ask to the ball. Of course some were already
couples or dates and tried to keep the single people as jealous as ever.
A 1st year Hufflepuff and a third year Slytherin was walking hand and hand
together to the Astronomy Tower. This seemed very strange to Alicia. The
pair of them looked happy and looked as if they hadn't a care in the world
and no one complained about them being in two opposing houses.
Actually everyone opposed Slytherin and Gryffindor was hated a pretty good
amount too but it didn't take long for them to get back to their former
glory.
Alicia finally reached her destination, Gryffindor Tower. She gave the
portrait of the fat lady the password and rushed through the portrait hole.
When she got inside there were Katie and Lee looking as happy as ever (Lee
probably already asked Katie), Angelina's hand getting kissed numerous times
by Fred and
There on the long squishy Gryffindor couch sat Hermione and Ron on bended
knees as if proposing. He took her hand and looked her in the eye she
returned the gaze, smiling sweetly at him.
The other two couples (Lee/Katie Fred/Angelina) watched them, the two girls
nearly crying and the boys grinning wickedly finally having a teasing
subject for Ron.
The two were still looking at each other when Harry, Dean, Seamus, and
Neville came down from the 5th year boys' dormitories, George emerged out of
the 7th, and Ginny coming out of the 4th year girls' dorm.
"Hermione will you go to the ball with me?" Ron asked without sticking
all of his words together. He had been very shy to ask her or any girl for
that matter, until he asked her to come to Hogsmeade with him.
"Of course I will!" she yelled jumping on Ron and hugging him. Harry
usually called it her violent hug. Ron turned very red as he looked at
everyone's faces. Everyone started to clap in the common room. Everyone but
George and Alicia that is, they smiled at everybody but to them no clapping
was needed. Hermione grinned at everyone and shook their hands as they gave
her one word "Congratulations!"

Dear diary,
It seems like every day my jealousy
grows and I'm losing it! I feel like I'm distancing myself from everybody!!
My courage had gone down to nothing! I feel like I don't even belong at
Gryffindor. If I do make another false move I won't go to the ball at all!
That's final!
P.S. Everyday I noticed my diary in a different position than before.
I really am beginning to think it is him that read it every night! There
were many couples roaming around including a Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Ron
asked Hermione to the ball and as obvious as it is, she agreed. Hermione
was grinning madly at everyone that day. I think it drove her kind of crazy
trying to discover a dense prat's feelings. I totally know I'm going to
meet more couples soon. If I don't get a date soon I swear I'll drown
myself in a river or get a bad case of depression.
The next day Alicia indeed saw other couples she hadn't seen the day
before. There was Neville giving a bouquet of flowers to Hannah the
Hufflepuff girl, Justin with his arms around a Ravenclaw girl named Lisa
Turpin, Roger with Cho, and Parvati and Lavender with Dean and Seamus. When she got in the Gryffindor Common Room she saw a very red Harry and a
magenta colored Ginny sitting by each other slowly turning back to their
original color.
"Uh… Did you guys have an argument?" Alicia asked sitting on the couch
arm near Ginny.
"No-no nothing like that," said Harry turning red again.
"Well he asked me to the ball" said Ginny as she covered her cheeks with
her hands, burning with embarrassment.
Alicia jumped off the couch's arm. She smiled at Ginny, again a very happy
smile.
"That's great! I'm happy for you guys! And I'm here thinking Harry would
still be chasing after Chang!"
"No I've gotten over her, and besides she's dating Roger."
"Alicia do you have anybody to go to the ball with?" asked Ginny. Alicia
turned her back to the two.
"No. I-I've got to go," she said running off to her Dorm and slamming
the door. When Alicia slammed the door, she felt like somebody hexed her
with jelly legs. She fell down on the floor sobbing.
"Alicia! Come on its dinner time," yelled a voice that sounded like
Katie's.
"Yeah! You're getting us worried!" yelled a voice that sounded like
Angelina's.
Alicia stood up and sat on her bed. Her two friends entered after a few
minutes.
"Alicia what's wrong?" asked Angelina looking at the Alicia now hugging
her diary and covering herself with layers of comforters.
"G-Ginny and H-Harry are they an official couple?" she stuttered.
"Those two? We just saw them walking to the Great Hall together we
aren't sure though, I don't think they'll be official until they announce
it or until the whole school see them snog or say sweet things to each
other"
"I-I'm not go-going, y-you to g-go w-with-o-out me!"
"A-alright but you've got to promise us you won't cry tomorrow and
you'll go to the ball ookay?" said Katie. Alicia took all of the comforters
off and sat up.
"O-okay"
Angelina and Katie smiled at their friend one last time and left, closing
the door gently.

Dear diary,
this is the final day. I've been
crying my eyes out since I found out Harry asked Ginny and will probably be
an official couple soon. So I'll be a single girl in formal robes tomorrow
sitting on a seat near a table. Of course I'd try my best not to cry and be
happy!
-Alicia
P.S. Now I really wish something new will happen. ::Sighs:: Maybe new decorations?
Note to George: If you do read this entry and it seems more miserable
than the others don't you DARE kiss me on the forehead again!
A/N: Have fun with it the next chapter it is the final one!
