Flash back:

Parvati, Lavender and Hermione are all sitting in their room talking about the ball (mostly just Lavender and Parvati).

"Ohhhhhh! I can't wait till the ball!" squealed Parvati! "I hope it's even better than it was last time! It's weird though, I thought it was only for the triwizard tournament?"

"Same! Oh well, who cares! I hope they have the Weird Sisters again, they totally rocked!" said Lavender. "What do you think Hermione?"

Hermione - so absorbed in her reading isn't concentrating on the actual conversation replies. "Yeah, uh huh.mmmm"

Parvati is so excited even though the ball is weeks away is jumping up and down, saying over, and over again, "Ohhh, what if nobody asks me to go with him? Ohhh, what if nobody asks me to go with him."

"Shut up! Parvati!" Lavender looked at her sternly "You've been with Harry Potter for goodness sake! - I'm sure you'll find somebody!"

"Oh I dunno."

The conversation was drowning on and on, but Hermione was too caught up in spells to clearly understand what her two friends were rambling about.

The topic changed from clothes, to music, to the guys, to food, back to guys, more on guys etc..

"So Hermione, who do you think you're going to go with?" asked Lavender

"Hmmm? What did you say?" replied Hermione - still preoccupied

"HERMIONE!" both of them yelled! "Were you listening to anything we were saying?"

"errr.sure I was" Hermione stammered, "Something about the ball..or something.."

Lavender and Parvati both roll their eyes at Hermione.

"What! I can't help it! I really need to learn the healing spell! It could be useful, and you never know it might suddenly pop up in one of out tests.."

Hermione couldn't even finish her sentence when Parvati held up her hand right in front of her face to stop her. "I'll ask again, who will you take to the ball?"

Hermione shifted uncomfortably, "I probably wont go at all, I mean last year Viktor asked me, but this year I doubt anyone is going to ask me at all."

Then quickly finishing, as she looked at Lavender and Parvati's open mouths, "But there's still a chance!"

This seemed to brighten the girls up and the continued to babble on about the Yule Ball, forgetting all about whom Hermione was going to take.

In her mind Hermione sighed, "I hope somebody will ask me. I don't want to go alone." Then shaking that off her mind continued to read about the spells.

After much consideration Lavender and Parvati both decided to create a pact.

"So, lets all make it, that we all have to go with the best guys in 6th year!" concluded Lavender

"I'm all for it!" agreed Parvati, with a humungous grin on her face, and the face of a certain wizard in her mind.

"Hermione! Are you in with the pact?" Parvati asked

Hermione - who wasn't listening to the conversation completely, decided to fully agree, to whatever was happening to stop her room-mates from strangling her, "Yeah, sure! Cool! Whatever."

Lavender squealed again as well as Parvati, and the room was full of girly laughter.

Hermione thought to herself, "Hmmmm, I wonder what I just agreed on? Oh well, who cares, probably something minor."

She continued to ponder about her spells, and let it go..

End Flash back

After explaining everything to Hermione, Lavender and Parvati both look at Hermione with blank stares on their faces, "Remember now?"

"erm.sort of." Hermione looked at them nervously "But why all the dressing up, I mean who am I supposed to impress?"

Parvati raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly at Lavender, both went off into a corner and whispered something.

Walking casually back to Hermione (who looked quite confused), still with the evil grin on her face; Parvati announced, " Since you've forgotten all about out special pact, there are consequences."

Lavender cut in, "yep! And you my dear friend have to go with a certain eligible, totally hot, blonde babe!"

Looking a tad bit relieved, Hermione casually asked, "and who might that be?"

Parvati looked at Hermione innocently, ".Oh just a certain Slytherine."

"Oh no.."
