*In the Gryffindor Common Room*Harry was sitting in the common room being sulky and thinking about how he had majorly screwed things up with Hermione. He was spacing off when he heard someone saying his name, snapping him back into reality. He looked up and saw Vivian, a 4th year that he had talked to a few times.
"Hey Harry"
"Hey Viv"
"What's up? Is something wrong?"
"No. Everything's good."
Harry was talking to her when he suddenly realized how pretty she was. She was 5' maybe 5'1 with dark brown hair and tan skin. He heard a voice in his head saying 'Ask her out' there was another voice saying 'What about Hermione?' But all he could think was 'Hermione who?'
"Viv, I know this is kind of random, and we don't know each other that well, but what I do know about you, I like. So would you do me the honor of going to the ball with me?"
"Whoa. Yeah. Of course I'll go with you. I was hoping you would ask me, cause if you didn't I was gonna ask you. Well rather, Kelsey was gonna force me to ask you, well, she probably would have done it herself, but you know...It's kinda late so I'm gonna go to bed. G'night Harry." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and running, rather skipping off, making a stop at where Kelsey was sitting to let her in on the news, making Harry chuckle to himself.
*On the other side of the common room*
Seamus and Dean were sitting in 2 chairs near one of the many beautiful fireplaces.
"Man. Why can't I get a date?" Seamus asked.
"I don't know. Lord knows there are enough good looking girls here. Oooh I have it. None of them are dumb enough to go out with you. No I'm just kidding...just kidding...ooh hey here comes Kate you should ask her. I don't think she has a date yet and she's pretty good looking if I do say so myself..."
"Kate! Come here for a sec!" She came over to where they were sitting.
"Yeah Seamus?" She said her cheeks getting a slight pink tinge.
"Will you go to the ball with me?"
"Yeah sure." She said blushing twirling her already curly brown hair between her fingers.
"Great!! Now maybe you have some friend who would be willing to go with Dean..." He said jokingly.
"Actually I don't know if Hermione has a date I mean I doubt she's going to actually go with Malfoy."
Harry who was walking by and overheard them said loud enough for everyone in the Gryffindor common room to hear, "Hermione IS going to the ball with Malfoy. She thinks she's in love with him." He stormed up to his room leaving everyone else in the common room in shock.
Someone shouted "That's a load of bull shit!"
But Ron got up and said, "No it's true. She dumped me and Harry for that bastard."
He turned around and walked up to his dormitory and poured himself into bed, feeling tears in his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut, refusing to let the tears out, and fell asleep thinking of all the fun times he and Harry had had with Hermione. By the time he fell asleep, his pillow was sopping wet.
A/N: HAHAHAHAHA I'm sooooooooo mean...You're going to hafta wait to see what happens with Hermione...
