Hi guys! Thank you Ellena for all of your beauuuutiful reviews, Yay
everybody is getting together! And Laura, thank you sooo much for pointing
out the chapter mistake. And you made a good point; Lizzy owes you one for
making her twist her ankle! iNsAnEgUrLrOx, I thought of that too, how Missy
seemed a little like Hermione in the beginning, but I like to think of them
not as schoolbooks, but more like fiction books. So I hope you guys like
the next few chapters!!

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
The next morning, while in the great hall forcing himself to eat his spinach, Harry received a letter. He put down his fork, took the letter from Hedwig, and opened it. He read it quickly and his mouth dropped open.
Lizzy looked over at him and shoved another mouthful of eggs into her mouth. "What is it?" She asked.
Harry shook his head and let her read it. It said:
Dear Harry, I wanted to let you know that I will be visiting Hogwarts soon. It's risky, but I really want to see you, and I want you to meet my new girlfriend.
Much love, Sirius.
Mandy choked on a piece of toast. "He's got a girlfriend!? Since when?"
Harry shrugged. "I don't know. This is a total surprise. I wonder when exactly he's coming?"
Ron got up and went over to sit beside Harry and Lizzy. Missy sighed. He was mad at her again. All she'd said was: "You and your fear of spiders," and he'd gotten up and walked away. She hadn't been teasing him. She knew how sensitive he was, and she understood! She just couldn't understand how just when they started to become friends; she totally messed things up.
Elorra suddenly burst out laughing. She was laughing so hard she was bent over wheezing.
Patrick looked at her in concern. "Are you all right?"
She managed to nod, still wheezing. "Look at Draco!" She gasped. "Look at his hair!" Everyone at the table looked over at the Slytherin table.
Missy gasped. "What on earth did he do to his hair?" It was a bright electric blue.
"He dyed it." Came a voice from behind them.
Joshua turned around. "Oh hi, Ralee. Why did he dye his hair?"
Everyone turned around and looked at Ralee. All except Missy and Ron, who didn't know why everyone else liked her.
Ralee sat down. "I'm not sure. I guess he thinks it looks cool. I have some of my hair dyed." She held out the strands of her black hair that had been dyed bright red.
Just then Dumbledore stood up. "Hello everyone, and good morning. I hope you are all enjoying your breakfast. I have some news that might brighten up an otherwise dull day. We are going to have a Halloween ball. It's in about two weeks, on Halloween night. It's for 4th years and u, but if you're invited by an older student, then you're welcome to attend. Also, I have another announcement that may excite you. For the first time ever, Hogwarts will be having a talent show. Everyone may sign up for it, to display his or her talents. That is in three weeks, after the Halloween ball, so you don't have much time to practice. You can do anything from the magical world, or you can do something muggle. All of the rules are posted in your dormitories. Thank you, that is all." He sat down again, and all the girls in the room squealed and started whispering excitedly.
Except for Missy that is. She jabbed her fork unexcitedly into her food.
Mandy walked over and sat down beside her. "What's the matter? Aren't you excited about the ball? I hope Oliver asks me!"
Missy shook her head. And laid down her fork. "I'm not going to the ball."
Mandy looked up at her. "Why not?"
Missy stood up. "Look Mandy, everyone I know, is going to have a date to the ball. Why should I go all alone? It would be so boring, not to mention humiliating to me."
"Ron's not going." Mandy pointed out. "You could go with him."
Missy snorted. "Yeah right. We're like oil and water. And who says I want to go to ball with him any way?" She picked up her bag of books, and headed to the common room.
Mandy stared up at her in shock. "Missy!"
Missy stormed to the common room with Mandy right behind her.
"What's your problem?" Mandy screamed at her.
Missy turned around and glared at her. "MY problem?? YOU'RE the one who won't leave me alone!!!"
Mandy sighed. "Get off your high HORSE and just ASK HIM TO THE DANCE!!!!! You like him, and he likes you...I'm sick of you two being so STUBBORN!!!"
Missy glared at her, and ran up to the dormitories.
Mandy rolled her eyes and sat down.
Ron watched as Missy ran out of the great hall. He sighed and poked at his food.
Harry looked at him and laughed. "Just ask her."
Ron shook his head. "I'm too scared."
Lizzy smiled. "One of you two is going to have to ask each other. You might as well just ask her."
Mandy got up and decided to go up and talk to Missy. She slowly walked upstairs and opened the door to the dorms. She walked in and sat down on her bed and looked over at Missy, laying on her own. "Missy, I'm sorry. It's just that I want to see you happy. And I know Ron can do that, I wish you'd just admit it and quit being so stubborn. You said you two are like oil and vinegar. Well they may not mix well, but if you put them on a salad together, they taste pretty good."
Missy rolled her eyes. "I don't need advice from you, besides, what do Ron and I have to do with salads?" She said sarcastically.
Mandy stood up. "Well, it's nice to know that we're such good friends." She held back tears and ran out of the common room and into the halls.
Missy watched as she ran out and she looked up at the ceiling. She was sick of people telling her what to do. She wanted to be with Ron, but she didn't know if he wanted to be with her. And she wasn't going to make a fool out of herself and tell him, just so he could laugh at her. No, she wasn't going to do anything unless Ron made the first move. She sighed and rolled over. She knew he wouldn't do anything.. And now she'd just ruined a perfectly good relationship, because Mandy was right, she was stubborn. Stupid and stubborn. She slammed a pillow over her face. "Argh!"
Ron stood up, looking determined. "You know what?? I AM going to ask her, and I'm going to do it right now!" He said, and slammed his fist on the table.
Lizzy giggled. "Then go do it, she's probably in the common room right now."
Ron nodded and headed for the common room. When he got there, he walked through the portrait hole and looked around. If she wasn't here, she was in her dorm. He slowly walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"I'M SORRY MANDY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO TALK RIGHT NOW!!!!!" She screamed from inside the room.
Ron smiled. "It's Ron, Missy."
Missy gasped. "Ron?" She got up and opened the door. "Yes?" She asked.
Ron was shaking. He grabbed his hand and rubbed it with the other. "Well...uh...I...uh...Will you go to the dance with me?"
Mandy rushed into the hallway and into an empty classroom, brushing tears from her face. She curled up on the floor and wrapped her arms around her knees. She was only trying to help! Why couldn't Missy understand that? She wanted to do what was best for her. And if Missy would stop being so stupid, she would realize that she and Ron were perfect for each other. She burst into sobs, her shoulders shaking. She hoped that their friendship could withstand this.
Oliver walked briskly toward the Gryffindor common room. Just then he heard someone crying. He walked backwards a few steps and saw through the doorway, Mandy, crying her heart out. The broken sounds tore at his heart. He walked in the room and sat down beside her. "Mandy? What's wrong?" He put his arm around her.
Mandy looked up and wiped her tears away quickly. "Nothing." she stood up and walked away. "Mandy!" Oliver ran after her and grabbed her arm. He spun her around to face him, and he grabbed her other arm. He shook her. "Don't you dare tell me nothing is wrong? I know you well enough to know those weren't tears of laughter or happiness. Or from some novel you read, now tell me. What is wrong?" She lifted her tearstained face to meet his soulful brown eyes. He gently brushed the tears from her face. "What is it? You can tell me."
Mandy gulped. "It's Missy. I don't think she wants to be my friend anymore."
"Aww Mandy." he pulled her into a hug, holding her head onto his shoulder. She choked out a sob before she could stop herself. He held her at arms length. "Mandy, you have to understand that Missy is having a few problems right now, and even though she's acting like a complete prat, you need to give her space. She'll snap out of her funk, and realize what a dolt she's been. Ok?"
She looked up at him. "Yeah, I know."
"Now, you're going to that ball with me, right?"
Mandy grinned at Oliver. "Of course I am!"
Missy stared at Ron in shock. "Uh." Then a little inner voice began talking to her. It said to her. 'Missy, what are you doing! He is just asking you as a last resort! Don't listen to him!' "Uh." Missy said.
