*********************************************************
To celebrate the Gryffindor victory, the entire school had a masked ball.
Dumbledore, Ginny, and Hermione entered the Great Hall. After Dumbledore says a few words of congradulations to the Gryffindor team, the students began to dance.
"Don't you WANT a boyfriend, Hermione?" Ginny asked her friend.
"Yech," was Hermione's only response.
Ginny just rolled her eyes, sure she didn't mean it. "Come on. Let's find dancing partners!"
Bill, wearing a very attractive dragon mask, found Ginny in the crowd. He recognized her hair from behind her mask of a kitten.
"Ginny, dear. There is a young man who wishes to speak with you." Ginny grinned at Hermione.
"Hello," a voice said shyly from behind a mask.
"Hello."
"You look lovely."
"Thank you. You look quite nice, too. What I can see of you, anyway." The boy was wearing a banchee mask.
"I adore you, Ginny. Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"
"Who's under there?"
Suddenly, she heard her brother's voice behind her. "It's Harry, you great prat!"
"Ron!" They both hissed. "Go find someone to dance with," Ginny told him.
"Yes, Harry." Harry and Ginny danced, both very excited for the Yule Ball.
********************
"Who told you?" Hermione demanded from behind her mask. The goblin's head shook.
"No."
"At least tell me who you are." She said.
"No," replied Ron/Goblin.
"He said I was an ninny, and that my insults were stale. What does he know? He's an idiot. I wish he had come to talk to me."
"Who?" asked the goblin innocently.
"Ron Weasley. Surely you know him?"
Ron/Goblin shook his head. "Who is he?"
"He's the laughing stock of Gryffindor. He's a moron who thinks he's quite funny."
"If I see him, I'll tell him what you said."
Hermione shrugged. "He'll just say the same things about me, and when nobody laughs at his jokes, he'll get all depressed and won't eat. Yadda, yadda, yadda."
"Would you like to dance?"
"Well, alright, but where's Ron?"
************************************
"I hate her!" Ron whined to Bill and Harry. "She said all kinds of horrible things about me. She is so aggravating!"
"Hey, look," Bill pointed. "Here she comes."
"Send me to do something," Ron begged. "Anything. I'll go talk to Professor Trelawney, You can use me as the replacement quaffle, you can transfigure me into a worm! But please – give me some excuse to leave. I don't want to talk to her!"
"But all we want is your company!" Bill said jovially as Harry laughed. Ron stormed away.
Hermione turned to Ginny. "Is it true?"
"Yes," Harry answered. "We're going the Yule Ball." There were hugs all around.
Hermione said goodbye to everyone and headed for the dormatories.
"She's never going to get a boyfriend," Harry remarked.
"She'd be perfect for Ron," Bill pointed out. They all looked at him like he had a duck on his head.
"I can't believe we have to wait five whole days for the Yule Ball! I'm going to go bonkers!" Ginny said.
Bill grinned. "I know how we can pass the time." The other two looked at him. "We will take on an impossible task: we'll get Hermione and Ron to go to the Yule Ball... together.
