a/n: Ok, heres the new version! I hope you like it! Review and tell me.
Chapter ten:
Hermione awoke the morning of the ball and after pulling on a pair of jeans and a green off the shoulders, long sleeved shirt, headed down for some breakfast. Since today was the ball they didn't have any classes, which Hermione wasn't all that happy about. But none the less she was in a very good mood, she had been waiting for this day for the past week.
"Hey guys," She said as she sat down next to Harry and Ron "whats up?"
"Nothing much, just talking about how Carrie Grant asked Ron to the ball tonight." Harry said.
"Carrie Grant asked you to the ball?" Hermione said surprised.
"What, you think I can't get asked out by someone like her?" Ron said sharply.
"No, it's not that, it's just...well you know. It's Carrie Grant. She's the most popular girl in Hogwarts, and everyone knows that she and Brett Stevens has been off and on forever, and other than him she doesnt 'date' anyone, she just sleeps with them."
"Well, maybe she just likes me Hermione." Ron said through a mouthful of eggs.
"Ok, whatever." Hermione said taking a bite out of an apple.
"So, Hermione, what were you planning on doing today?" Harry asked.
"Just go to the library and study for a bit," Ron rolled his eyes. "Then, after that it will be time for me to start getting ready I guess." She said before putting some eggs on her plate."And stop rolling your eyes at my Ron." She cut in.
"Oh ok, then we will meet in the common room at six?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"Ok, well I'll see you then, I have to go do something." Harry said getting up and leaving.
"Bye."
Hermione looked at Ron disgusted as he shoveled food into his mouth ninty miles-a-minute. She rolled her eyes.
"How can you eat SO much Ron?"
"What do you mean? I don't eat that much."
"Right..."
"Wait," Hermione said suddenly remembering something. "I thought you were going to the dance with Pavarti?"
"Well, she asked me.."
"And you told her yes."
"Yes, I did."
"And your going with Carrie now?!"
"Well, yeah, I mean Pavarti will understand..."
"Ron! You cannot do that! You said that you would go with her and you will go with her!" Hermione screamed.
"You cant make me!" He screamed back.
"Ron, you are such a git!"
"I am not!"
"ahhh!" Hermione yelled in frustration and stood up and marched out of the Great Hall.

-About an hour later-
"Hey Pavarti, wait up!" Ron yelled jogging across the empty grounds of Hogwarts Toward the Black haired girl.
"Oh hey Ron!" She said turning around."Whats up?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about the Ball."
"Oh, I am so excited! I have the perfect dress and everything! Lavender even let me borrow her favorite earings...which like..never happens!" Pavarti squealled.
"Oh umm..." Ron said looking at his feet.
"Whats wrong?" She asked her face going from excited to worried.
"It's just that...well...you see..."
"What is it Ron?"
"Carrie Grant asked me out." He said looking at his feet.
"Yeah so, you said no right?"
"Well..."
"You said yes?!"
"..sorta.."
"OMG, I CANT BELIEVE YOUR DITCHING ME FOR THAT SLUT!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Im sorry."
"I thought you liked me..." She said her voice softing to a whisper.
"I do like you!"
"Then why arn't you going with me?"
"Because, I dont know, she's Carrie Grant ya know. I never thought that she would ask me out." Ron said hopeing she would understand, but it only made it worse.
"You know," she said in a dangerously low voice."I used to not think that she was good enough for you, but now I know that your no better than she is." And with that she ran off toward the Castle.
"Im such a friggin jerk!" Ron said kicking the ground making dirt fly everywhere.

Hermione was walking into her dorm to get a book when she heard crying comeing from Pavarti's bed. Her curtains were closed so she walked quietly over to make sure she had heard right.
Yeah, that was crying.
"Pavarti?" She said quietly.
More sobs
"Are you ok Pavarti?" Hermione asked.
'That was a stupid question. Of course she's not 'ok', she is crying after all' Hermione thought.
"Ron...Ron...broke off the date!" She finially croked out.
'Ron you idiot!'
"Pavarti...I'm sorry, He's an idiot." Hermione said soothingly.
"I was really looking foward to going with him Hermione."
"I know, I know."
"But he obviously wasn't cause as soon as someone eles asked him he jumped at the chance to go with them. And of all people, that slut of a girl Carrie! I hate her, but I hate Ron even more." Pavarti said.
"He's not worth you. He really is a good guy all in all, he's just bring a real jerk."
"Thats for sure. Now I dont even have a date for the ball."
"Pavarti dont worry about that, most every guy in the school would kill to go out with you. Your beautiful, smart, and funny. You will get a date, easy."
"Thanks Hermione." Pavarti smiled.
"Your welcome."
" I think Im just going to get some sleep for about an hour now."
"Ok, ill see you later." Hermione said.
"Bye"
Harry was sitting in front of the fire in the Gryffinder common room thinking somethings over when he heard someone stumping down the stairs. He turned to see who it was.
Hermione. And she looked mad.
"You ok Hermione?"
"Im fine. But you know whos not fine? Pavarti. Ron dumped her! Now shes up their in her dorm crying." Hermione said.
Harry sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I swear, my friend or not, He is such a git sometimes."
"Yeah, tell me about it.You know where he is?"
"Outside, last I saw."
"Ok, Ill see you later then."
"Bye"
She walked out the portiat hole in the same huff she had came down the stairs in.
'Poor Ron.' Harry thought before turning back to his thoughts.
88888888888
Ron was sitting by the lake when he heard someone yell his name.
Hermione. She doesnt sound too happy.
He sat without moving hopeing that she wouldn't see him, although he knew she already had.
"Ronald Weasley!"
Oh no.
He slowly turned around. "Yes?" He asked nervously.
"What is your problem?!"
"Huh?"
"Breaking it off with Pavarti just like that! She really liked you Ron! And I thought you liked her."
"I did. I do." Ron said.
"Then why would you hurt her like that?"
"I didn't mean to hurt her!"
"Yeah well, you did."
"I know...im a jerk for doing what I did."
"Yeah you are, and to make it worse you did it on THE DAY of the ball." Hermione yelled.
"Im sorry ok."
"Thats not good enough. The only way you can make it right is to tell Carrie that you cant go with her, and ask Pavarti if she will go with you. Though I doubt it."
"I know.."
"So your going to?"
"Well, I mean. Like you said she probably wont have me back and I can't go alone so.."
"Hmph! Your impossible Ron!" Hermione said stumping off.
888888888888888
A little ways behind where they had stood someone eles also stood listening to their argument with a smile on her face.
It was Carrie Grant.
"Everything is working just as planned." She said with another self satisfied smile.
A/N:Ok, was it better then my other version? I like it better. This is only the first half of the ball of course. Please review!! Its the only reason I update really. Otherwise I wouldnt type it and put it on the net, cause it takes alot longer. It would prolly only see the inside of my notebook.Sorry for the mistakes...anyone wanna beta read for me. Im just to lazt to reread what i type to fix the mistypes. sorry, maybe i will one of these days.
