~Ron & Harry's doorm

"So, who are you asking to the ball?" Ron asked Harry.

"Uh...I was thinking of asking..."
Harry stopped himself.He really wasn't planning on going,but he almost said Hermione, for some reason,and that really would have been not only a stupid thing to say, but a bad thing to say, especially to Ron.

"Who?" Ron asked curiously.

"Umm...," Harry said nevously searching for a name.

"Tell me!" Ron said pleadingly.

"Ginny!" Harry Managed out, suprizing even himself.

"Ewww.....My sister?" Ron asked,"Well I am going with Hermione."

"Of course," Harry said rolling his eyes.Just then he reminded himself of Ginny.That's what she said when I was staring at Hermione, Harry thought.

For a while they sat in scilence.

"Harry?"

"Yes Ron?"

"I'm giving you permission to date Ginny, but you better not hurt her."

"I won't....wait!?...I only said I'm taking her to the ball."

"Yea,...right," said Ron with a smirk.

"Whatever," Harry replied.

"Ron?"

"Yea?"

What time is it?"

"5:07, why?"

"I was planning on going to Hagrid's" Harry replied getting up from his chair.

"O.K. Well, see ya later then,"said Ron.

"Okay. Later Ron!"

So, Harry set off to Hagrid's. Knock,Knock,Knock, was the sound on the big door of Hagrid's hut.

"Well, Hello there Harry!" said Hagrid, "Come on in."

"Hagrid..," Harry said, politely taking the rock cakes Hagrid offered him.

"Yes Harry?" he replied.

"Well I want to talk to you about something," he said, now slipping the cake into his pocket.

"Go on," said Hagrid.

"Well I have this friend, and my friend likes this -" Harry started,but was interrupted by Hagrid,
"- Harry, we all know this story, what I mean to say is, everyone has heard of the 'I have this friend' story,so what is it really?"

"Well...," harry began, "I like this girl..."
At that point Hagrid was going to interrupt him to ask who this girl was, but decided to let him continue.
"...and I really like her, but she has a boyfriend, and then Ron asked me who I was going to ask to the ball, and I just said the first name that popped into my head, and I don't really like her that much...she is like...just a friend."

"Well Harry," started Hagrid, "The ball is about a month away, but I suggest you go to the ball with the girl you told Ron you were gonna ask, and see what happens."

"O.K." Harry sighed.

"Hagrid?" asked Harry looking up.

"Yea?"

"Just one problem."

"Whats that?" Hagrid asked.

"How do I ask her??"

"Oh Harry......."
