NOT own Harry Potter. I only own Raven and the other characters that I made
up.

CHAPTER 4- Friday the Thirteenth
~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~~§*§~
The next day when Harry was walking to Transfiguration, he spotted Cho-Chang with a few Ravenclaw girls and... Hermione. Or was it Hermione? She looked like she had at the dance last year. Her hair wasn't frizzy at all, it was...neat. Pulled back with a headband. He overheard her conversation: "Hermione, your hair looks so good!" Cho-Chang exclaimed. "Go ask her, Harry!" Ron said. "I might ask Hermione." Ron said. "I mean since there is no chance that Viktor is going to come here just for a Hogwarts dance." Ron babbled on about the dance and who he might ask, while Harry goggled open-eyed at Cho-Chang. Ron noticed that Harry hadn't been listening to anything he'd just said so he said "If you're going to stare at her all day, someone else is going to ask her." Ron stated. "Oh and since when have you been the dating expert?" "I got you your date last year." Harry said. "And she really, really liked me, didn't she?" Ron retorted sarcastically. Harry sighed heavily and walked over to Cho-Chang. He weighed his chances, he could ask her in front of the girls she was with, there were only four, three Ravenclaws and Hermione. Or he could ask her in private, after someone else had asked her. Maybe Ron WAS the dating expert, 'Someone else is going to ask her', she was free, available, open, and well, not happily, Cedric was gone, and dead. He took a deep breath and spoke. "Hi Cho." He said shakily. "Hi!" Cho said. "Um... do you want to go to the dance?" He muttered. "Well..." Harry was wishing, hoping, praying that she would say yes and somehow, Friday the thirteenth would be lucky. "Well, I don't know, I mean, someone else might have already asked me." She spoke slowly as if Harry were a little kid. "Sure!" Cho said. Harry thought he would die, right there in the bustle of the students.
"She actually said... YES?" Ron asked amazed at his luck. "Friday the thirteenth is supposed to be the unluckiest day of the entire year." Ron said. "I know." Harry said. "Especially for wizards." I heard that He-Who-Must- Not-Be-Named killed half a wizard neighborhood. It's right off of Hogsmeade and some of the houses are still there. But most of them are just abandoned, run down houses that need panting and a good fixing. Harry and Ron finished talking and started doing homework in which they 'foresaw' what would happen to themselves in the next month for Divination. Ron said that he was going to accidentally run into the girls' bathroom and slip on a puddle of water. Harry was going to have to sacrifice something important to him and drop his bag in the hall on the way to Transfiguration. Ron started giggling. Well actually, he tried to giggle but it came out as a full-blown laugh. Harry looked up and asked Ron what was so funny, Ron shoved a piece of paper at him, It said:
"Dear Ron, I would like to go to the dance with you. Meet me in the unused girls' bathroom at 9:00 P.M. tonight." ~???????? ?????~ "I wonder who it's from." Harry said. They left for dinner, pondering at who the letter could be from. They planned to look for anyone who looked like they were staring at Ron. After being unsuccessful in their search, Ron and Harry sat down next to Hermione in two fluffy armchairs. Hermione, WASN'T reading a book for once, she was looking at herself in a small mirror. "Who're you going to the dance with, Hermione?" Ron asked her back in the common room. Harry personally thought that it would be easier for her to get a date if she started wearing her hair neat everyday. She had been wearing it nice all week now, and the dance wasn't for another few weeks. Maybe there was some hope for Hermione's hair after all. "You're going to hate me for this but I'm going with..." Hermione stopped. "You promise that you WON'T make fun of me, or hate me, or stop being my friends?" Hermione asked. "We'll always be your friends, Hermione." Harry and Ron said. "Go on, who is it?" Ron asked excitedly. "You sure?" Hermione asked. "Well, ok...Malfoy." Hermione said. "WHAT!?!?!" Harry and Ron said. It was like saying that that they were all going to die in 10 minutes. "Hermione, you can't!" "What did he do to get you to go out with him?" "Bribe you, pay you?" Ron asked angrily. "What? YOU wanted to go out with him? YOU wanted to go out with me?" Hermione said. "Hermione, that first thing you said is...GROSS!" "WHY would I want to go with MALFOY?" Ron said. "Actually, I WAS going to ask YOU." Ron said. "You were?" Hermione said as if she would rather eat worms than go with Ron. "You can still go with those two you went with last year." Hermione said. "I happen to have a date, Hermione." Harry said angrily, entering himself in the conversation. "WHO? YOU have a date?" Hermione said jokingly. "Cho- Chang." Harry spat. Hermione laughed. "Really?" "...Right." Hermione said, fiddling with her hair. " Today's not April Fools Day." Hermione retorted sarcastically. "You know, your hair has given you a new attitude problem." Ron said. He ran off with a very rare determined look on his face. Not something you see on his face a lot. Harry walked off after him, wondering what was up. Hermione glared at them with a cold stare, something wasn't right.
I know, kinda cliff-hanger but it's longer and I'm working on the next chapter already, I just haven't gotten around to posting this and I edited it and added stuff here and there. Anyway, I'm typing in word and DOUBLE SPACEING but it's not working on ff.net, please help! EMAIL: gryffindor_witch@msn.com I promise whoever helps will get credit in the next chapter and I'll repost all the chapters double spaced. I'm using Microsoft Word...
