A/N: If some words are Italic or whatever, it means your thinking, okay??? K! Read on..

A couple of days after the announcement of the ball, guys have been asking you to the ball. But of course, you let all of the boys down because your waiting for your true prince to come and sweep you away.

"hey!" you hear someone say as he grabs your arm. You turn around to see Roger Davis.

"Oh, hey, what's up?" You ask him looking a bit puzzled.

"Oh, nothing much...anyways, I was just wondering...you know...if you'd wanna....wanna go to the ball with me" He asked nervously.

You felt so bad, for both Roger AND Natalie for you know that Natalie has also turned down lots of guys, waiting for Roger to ask her. You look down on to your feet, then up at Roger again. His face was scared, and very nervous. You sigh and say

"I'm sorry Roger, but..."

"You don't have to say it, I understand" He says as he looks down at his feet.

"I'm really sorry," You say. "I think Natalie is still available though." You say hinting him to ask her to the ball.

"yeah, okay, thanx" he says as he walks off. You feel a pain of guilt form inside you. You sigh and walk the opposite direction.

When you finally get your way to Transfiguration, you settle yourself down next to Natalie and Carmen.

"OH.MY.GOSH!" Screamed Natalie.

"What?!" You and Carmen ask.

"ROGER DAVIS JUST ASKED ME TO THE BALL!" She screamed so loud that Professor Mcgonagal had to take 5 points from Ravenclaw. (aw.)

"That's great!" You say. "who are you going with Carmen?" You ask suspiciously.

"um..." She said. You and Natalie look at her weirdly. "c'mon! You can tell US" said Natalie quietly.

"Fine, fine!" She finally said. She took a deep breath. "Marcus Flint" She said turning bright red. She then threw her head in her arms and layed her arms down on her desk as if she was about to cry.

"its...its...okay Carmen" Natalie says patting her back and trying to control her laughter.

"Haha! How funny..."Carmen shot back at Natalie while getting back up.

"so...who are YOU going with?" she asks pointing the finger at you now.

"No one" You say, not blushing or anything. They eye you suspiciously because they know at least a dozen guys have asked you to the ball. They didn't expect you to turn down EVERY ONE of them. After Transfiguration, you walked by yourself to the library to get some more studying done before the big test. Just then you hear someone calling your name. You turn your head to find Oliver Wood chasing after you.

"What is it?" You ask him.

"Um....can we talk?" he said opening the library door for you guys to enter.

"Uh, sure" You say as you walk in, smiling. Oh my gosh! This is it....he's going to ask me...I think

"I need to ask you something" he said without looking at you.

"I'm listening" You say. He then looks up to your face, and then opens his mouth to speak. Then he closes his mouth, and looks away, then looks back and opens his mouth again.

"Are, you okay?" You ask him giggling a bit.

"Uh...yeah" He says smiling nervously. "You...wanted to ask me something?" You remind him "Oh, yeah!" he says and looks back down on the floor. "Will...will you.." This is it! THIS IS IT! He looks at your face once more and looks back down and says

"Will you-will you...will you tutor me in Potions?" He says, now looking some what disappointed in himself.

Your smile now turns into a frown, and tears form behind your eyes, but you do not cry.

"Of course.." You say. "Uh, I've really gotta go now. How about, starting next week? After the ball...." You say quietly and not looking at him.

"Yeah, after the ball" He says sounding so much more disappointed then you did. You then stood up and left. The whole day for you was a total drag. You wouldn't eat during lunch, and you wouldn't talk, or pay attention during class either. Nat and Carmen are talking about the ball. I don't even wanna go anymore

Right after Lunch, someone taps you on the shoulders. You turn your head to see Aaron. A 5th year Gryffindor. You don't know him much, but you've seen him around before.

"hey" He says.

"hey" you say back.

"Um, I was wondering if you'd wanna go 2 the ball with, that is unless your going with someone else" He says, a little nervous.

"yeah" You say a bit happier.

"Yes? Someone already asked you? Well, of course they did, sucha pretty person, why wouldn't you have a date yet?" he said, kind of talking to himself.

"I mean, yes, I would love to go to the ball with you, Aaron" you say smiling.

"Re-really?" he says looking like he could have thrown you up and spin you around 5,000 times.

"hehe...yeah" You said feeling a bit more happier then before.

"Great!" he said. "Uh, I'll meet you in front of the ravenclaw portrait at 8:00?"

"sure" You say. "I gotta go now, bye" You say waving and turning around to leave.

"bye" he said before you left the hall.

I guess this isn't SO bad. I mean, Aaron IS kinda cute..I should just forget about Oliver.
