Harry looked at himself in the mirror. No dirt, hair looked fine
gelled back, didn't look stupid. "What if Hermione turns me down. Nah.
That'll never happen." He took a deep breath and ran towards the Gryfindor
common room.
Ron looked at his reflection in the lake. He looked fine. He wasn't dirty. His hair was clean. He smelled.okay. He winked. "I look awesome! I have to act fast. I have no second to loose." He also ran towards the common room.
Hermione was studying furiously, even if the N.E.W.T.S. were five months away. There wasn't enough time to review everything! She had thought the O.W.L.S. were hard! Checking around her bag for a new piece of parchment, The Portrait of the Fat lady slammed open and Ron and Harry ran desperately towards Hermione.
"Hermione, will you go to the International Christmas Dace with me?"
Harry and Ron gaped at each other.
"YOU want to go to the dance with HER when she can go with ME?" said Ron astounded.
"She doesn't want to go with YOU, I'm a celebrity!" Snapped Harry.
"You know, I can't go with both of you," said a flattered Hermione. "Plus.."
"Don't worry Hermione, I'll get this pest off your back." Said Ron signaling to Harry.
"The pest? You're the pest!" Yelled Harry.
The whole common room was looking at Harry and Ron. It was just like those Spanish soap operas, except notn Spanish. Hermione glanced around the room. She chuckled nervously.
"Yeah, um, I'm really flattered you two both. umm...feel this way but I."
"Hey, Hermione, we all know you want to take me to this dance, but you have to make it official." Harry Potter interrupted.
"By the end of the week you will make your final decision on who will go with you to the dance, we both know it's gonna be me, but this guy doesn't." Ron nodded towards Harry.
And with that they walked nervously out of the common room, trying to dodge the glances of amazed students. After the two boys were out, Ginny Weasley got up and went to sit by Hermione.
"Wow. I cant believe Ron asked you out." Said Ginny, deeply in thought.
"Why is it so surprising?" Said Hermione worriedly.
Looking at Hermione's face, Ginny said, "Oh no, its not you. It's. he's my brother. You.are my friend. It makes me feel weird. Well, they'll have a nice surprise in the end. Wont they? If you had gotten the chance, you should have turned Ron down. You don't know him the way I do!"
Ginny shook her head, as if she was shaking off a disturbing image. "Anyways, at least Harry is still open." Ginny smiled in delight.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "You still haven't got over him yet, have you?"
"I have, but it never lasts for long," giggled Ginny.
Hermione laughed and excused herself to go back to her homework. She had four more reports to finish in two days. And of coarse she wouldn't settle for just one page.like *cough*Harry*cough*Ron*cough*. Around seven, Harry came in. Grabbing the chance, Hermione said.
"Harry, listen, about the dance, I-"
"No need to declare your undying love to me. I already know." He smiled and went into his bedroom.
Hermione sighed and got back to her work. Thirty minutes later, Ron came in looking quite happy with himself.
"Ron, I don't know exactly how to-"
"Break Harry the news that you're picking me? Break it to him gently. I've never seen him cry and I don't want to start now. Tell him it was close, even though that's hard to believe. I mean really. See you later. " Ron ran upstairs before Hermione could reply. Hermione gave up and returned to her schoolwork.
Harry and Ron were best friends. Sure they had gotten in fights before. This was not the most serious one, but it was the most competitive one. The two boys being best friends they thought a lot of the same thoughts. Right now, they were both thinking, "What if.that other guy.does win and not me? I have to show Hermione the fool he really is."
