Chapter 2: Match Made In Heaven!
Breathtaking was the right thing to say in Harry's opinion. I have to know more about this girl! He learned in well over a week, that she would be taking a test to determine what year she would be placed in and there would be a ball to welcome everyone back, which shocked most people as this had never happened before. He hoped and wished she would be taking it soon. And indeed, she did take the test later that same day. She was going to be in the fifth year.
He decided to not bother with Cho. He wanted, no needed to talk with Krystal. He saw her in the common room. She was talking to some girl Harry had seen before, but he knew she would be in the fifth year. He went up to her.
"Hi, is it Krystal?" he asked.
"Yea, and let me guess, famous Harry Potter?" she said knowingly.
"Ahem" came from the girl Krystal was chatting with.
"Oh, yea, this is Mandy Smith. She is a fifth year, too."
"Hello," Mandy said blushing.
"I was wondering if I could have a word with you, Krystal," Harry asked hastily.
"Um. . . . yea, sure," Krystal blushed, too.
They got up and walked out of the common room together.
"Do you had anybody to go with to the ball, I just wanted to know. Do you?" Harry asked while looking at his feet the whole time. He knew if he looked at her, he would go red in the face.
"No, not yet . . ." she said blushing too.
"Well, I was wondering," Harry was debating in his head how to ask this," if you would want to, which I understand if you want to," he added quickly," would you like to go to the ball . . . with me?" He was quite happy to get it out of his system.
"Yes!" she practically squealed, "So," calming down a bit, "I'll meet you in the common room then, at 7:30?"
"O.K. I'll see you on Friday!" Harry felt as happy as Mandy felt when she said "Hi." Just 3 more days to go. He couldn't wait till Friday! He skipped merrily like a prancing school girl, back to the common room. Harry couldn't wait to tell Ron and Hermione who he was going with. We're a mtach made in heaven!
"NO WAY! You mean that really hot one that just got put in the fifth year?!" Ron said anxiously.
"I'm right here, you know!" Hermione said offended. "No offense . . ." he added hastily.
"Yup, that's the one. Her name is Krystal." Harry said proudly. Seamus Finnigan overheard.
"Does she have any sisters?" Seamus asked fretfully.
"I'm not sure, but she has a friend that isn't all that bad, though."
"Really!" Seamus and Ron said mutually. Hermione scowled at Ron. Ron quickly saw this and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Her name is Mandy. Mandy Smith, I think, yeah, that's it." Harry added.
"Do you know where she is?" asked Seamus practically off his chair.
"No, but you'll see her at dinner. If we go now, I'll have time to point you out to her."
"Well then, what are you waiting for?" Seamus said standing up, "Lets go!"
With Seamus leading, Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way to the Great Hall. They had arrived when Krystal had. She apparently became popular, because she appeared at the Great Hall surrounded by giggling girls. She spotted Harry. He beckoned her to sit beside him. She left all her friends, which Harry saw, included Ginny.
"Hey, Krystal, ask Mandy to come over, too," Harry solicited.
"Hey Mandy! Come over here!" Krystal bellowed. She patted the seat next to her, "Why Harry?"
"Does she have anyone to go to the ball with?" Harry asked.
"No, why?" but then she caught on. "You're gonna hook her up with one of your friends, aren't you? So, who is it?" she commanded.
"Him," Harry said politely, pointing across the table, "his name is Seamus Finnigan." Krystal chortled. "What's so funny?"
"Well, Mandy is my best friend now, and tells me everything. Including her crush. If I tell you, you must swear to tell nobody!" she powered.
"I swear! So tell me already!"
"Well, she's had her eye on Seamus for quite a while now, . ." she whispered.
"BLIMEY!" Harry said so loud that the Hall quieted down. "Are you serious? Hi, Mandy!"
Seamus looked up. Anybody could tell he had fallen for her already.
"You wanna go to the ball with me?" Seamus popped up immediately.
"Blimey, Seamus, don't waste any of your time, do you?" Ron whispered so only Seamus could hear. "Nope," he replied.
"Umm, . . . right off the back, don't you think?" Mandy looked at him confused.
"Do you want to or not?" he asked anxiously.
"Sure," Mandy said almost immediately.
"Sit beside me."
"Do you mind Krystal?"
"No, not at all!" Krystal winked at Mandy with a smirk on her face.
Days went by till it was Friday night. Harry thought This is the best night ever! Nothing could possibly go wrong! Harry, Krystal, Ron, Hermione, Seamus, and Mandy decided to go together on a triple date. (A/N: I'm not sure whether that is right or not. Sounds funny though! *laughs in head!*) Harry had waited for this night to come. Now, it finally has.
A/N: I don't think it was all that bad. No, not at all. Read and Review!
