"Stop shaking me! I said stop!" Harry turned around in his bed to look who was shaking him. "Time for quidditch practice, Harry." It was Angelina Johnson, the quidditch captain. Harry put on his spectacles and looked at the clock. "But Ginny is the seeker! You should go wake her up instead." "Now that Umbridge's not here, we want you back in out quidditch team. Quickly get changed into your quidditch robes and be in the quidditch pitch by a quarter past five! Oh, and remember to wake Ron up too." "You'd better go down, this is the boy's dormitory." said Harry. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot." And Angelina walked down the stairs to the common room. Harry stretched his body. He still remembered about what happened last night. He went over and called Ron. "Ron, it's time for quidditch practice." Harry shaked Ron. "Ron." "What!?" Ron said angrily. "Angelina wants us to be in the quidditch pitch by quarter past five. So you better get changed into your quidditch robes." Harry told Ron. He went off to brush his teeth and get changed into his quidditch robes. When he went back to the boy's dormitory to get his Firebolt, Ron was already awake. Ron looked at Harry in the eye. Harry looked at him for a few seconds and went down to the common room. "Ron must still be thinking about what happened last night..." Harry thought to himself. He pushed open the portrait and climbed through it. He climbed down the marble staircases to the ground floor and walked through the castle grounds to the quidditch pitch. When he went there, all the quidditch players have already reached except for Ron. "Harry," said Angelina. "I forgot to introduce you to our two new beaters. The one standing beside Katie is Andrew, and the one standing beside Andrew is Bob. Andrew, Bob, this is Harry, your seeker." Harry shook hands with the both of them. "By the way, Where's Ron?" asked Angelina "He's coming down soon." A few minutes later, Ron came to the quidditch pitch. Angelina took a board out. She had already drawn the quidditch pitch and the position of all the players. She took out her wand and gave a swish and the little dots which represents the players started to move. She was explaining halfway when Ron cut in "Angelina, you're exactly like Oliver Wood." "Shut up and listen." Ron kept quiet after that. After about fifteen minutes of explaining, Angelina asked "Any questions?" Katie said tiredly "I've got a question. Why do you have to wake us up so early because of quidditch training? Can't you do it in the afternoon?" Angelina ignored that question. "All right, get into your positions now!" Angelina said. " Chasers, you will try to put the quaffle into the goalposts. Ron, you will try to block the quaffle. Beaters, you will beat the bludger to each other, be careful not to get smacked in the face. Lastly, Harry, I have already put a spell on the golf balls. They will automatically fly up once in about five seconds so you have to be quick." Harry nodded. When quidditch practice started, Ron could not seem to concentrate. At least eight out of tem quaffles went in. "I guess he must be thinking about what happened last night..." "Harry, watch out!" shouted Andrew. Harry turned around and saw a bludger coming his way. He quickly dodged the bludger. "Stop dreaming, Harry!" Angelina shouted across the pitch. "Sorry." He continued catching golf balls and after two hours of training, quidditch practice finally ended.
Harry spent the rest of his time zooming across the quidditch pitch till breakfast. When he went to the Great Hall, he saw Ron at the Gryffindor table. Instead of sitting with Ron, he went to sit with Seamus Finnagan and Dean Thomas. "What's the special occasion, Harry? Why are you sitting with us, not with Ron?" asked Dean. "Nothing special, just fill like changing my seat." Ten minutes later, breakfast began. Harry took some porridge and pumpkin juice. The owls soon flew into the Great Hall. Harry waited for his mail. Suddenly, he saw Hedwig carry a letter in its beak. Hedwig flew down to Harry and dropped the letter in his hand. Harry read the words on the envelope. It read : Hermione Granger. Harry tore open the envelope anxiously and looked at the letter.
Dear Harry, I am not going with Malfoy to the ball today. If you want me to go with you, please tell me.
Love, Hermione
Harry was filled with joy. He wanted to jump up in the air but not in the presence of so many people. He kept his letter in his pocket and continued eating his breakfast. After breakfast was finished, he rushed up to the Gryffindor common room. "Passw-" "Tazmania!" "Why're you so anxious?" asked the fat lady? "Just open!" The fat lady opened her portrait and Harry rushed in. He looked around for Hermione and found her sitting on a couch near the fireplace reading an Ancient Runes book. He rushed over and hugged her. Hermione was shocked. "You're really not going with Malfoy to the ball?" asked Harry, with a delighted look on his face. "You've received the letter?" asked Hermione, still hugged by Harry tightly. "Yes. Have you breaked up with Malfoy?" asked Harry, finally letting go off Hermione and looking at her in the eye. Hermione smiled. "I'll take that as a yes from you." said Harry, still carrying that smile on his face. "He hugged Hermione once more. "I'll meet you here at fifteen minutes to seven." said Harry and he went out of the common room.
"Ouch! What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry was in a long and deserted corridor with Malfoy and just got a punch in the nose by him. "Give me back Granger!!" shouted Malfoy in Harry's face. "You deserved it, Malfoy, Hermione has already broken up with you." said Harry calmly. "GIVE HER BACK TO ME!!!!!" Malfoy once again punched Harry in the stomach. "Look, I didn't force Hermione to go with me to the ball, she sent a letter to me saying that she's willing to go with ME!!!" Harry shouted and gave Malfoy a punch in his stomach too. "You will get it from me someday!" said Malfoy as he held his stomach and ran away from Harry down the long deserted corridor. Blood oozed down from Harry's nose. He wiped it off with his robes and went back to the Great Hall for his lunch.
"What happened to your nose, Harry?" asked Neville at the Gryffindor table. "I just did not look where I was going and bumped into a wall." Harry lied. Across the Gryffindor table, Harry could see Malfoy looking at Harry angrily still holding his stomach. Harry looked down at his plate. Dumbledore clapped his hands. He said in his hoarse and calm voice "Today is the day when the ball starts. Please be in your best outfit. I hope all of you have chosen a partner to go with you." Malfoy looked at Harry in the eye again. "Let the feast begin!" Harry took a pile of sandwiches and put it on his plate. "Blimey, Harry. What's wrong with you today? Eating a whole pile of sandwich." said Colin Creevy, a fifth year student. "I'm overjoyed with hunger." said Harry. "About? I know! You're going to the ball with Cho! You've patched up with her, right?" said Dean. "Just eat your food. Don't interfere in my affairs." said Harry. After lunch, Harry went back to the Gryffindor common room. He took his seat near the fireplace and took out a blank piece of parchment to write his essay on Potions. "to...to...to..." Harry was stuck halfway through his homework. "Hermione, can you let me copy your homework?" asked Harry. Hermione took out her essay and gave it to Harry. "Thanks." Soon after finishing his homework, Ron came down from the boy's dormitory. Ron ignored Harry and walked pass him to sit on the other side of the common room. Ron took out his blank piece of parchment and began writing his essay on Potions too. Like Harry, Ron was stuck in his homework. "Hermione, can I borrow your Potions homework?" asked Ron. "It's with Harry, ask it from him." Hermione replied. Ron walked over to Harry and asked him in a low voice "Can I take this essay?" "Sure..." answered Harry, not looking at Ron. Ron walked over to the other side of the common room and began writing his essay.
"Where is she?" thought Harry, looking around the common room anxiously as he adjusted his tie. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the girls dormitory. "That must be her!" Harry said to himself. Harry adjusted his suit and tie properly. The footsteps became louder and louder. Harry waited anxiously. He saw a pair of high heeled shoes. And finally, Hermione came down. Harry was shocked. She was wearing a beautiful blue sparkling dress and had her hair bundled up. She was wearing a white high heeled shoes, with decorations all over it. "You look gorgeous, Hermione!!" exclaimed Harry. "You look dashing too." "Let's go to the Great Hall. The ball is about to start soon." They went out of the common room and went down the marble staircase. (Hermione almost fell) While walking down, they saw many students dressed beautifully and dashingly. They went into the Great Hall. There were many tables with two chairs on each side. Harry and Hermione chose a table and sat down. They saw Ron with Lavender Brown, Seamus with Parvati Patil, and Dean with (unexpectedly) Hannah Abott. (from Hufflepuff) Ron looked at Harry and Hermione and was shocked. Harry and Hermione looked back at him. He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt and wearing a pair of long jeans. Ron turned back to talk with Lavender, although Harry knew that in Ron's heart, Ron was furious with him. Ten minutes later, Dumbledore came into the Great Hall in his yellow and blue robes. The ball began with Dumbledore's short speech. "I can see that all of you are dressed nicely. There is a menu on your table, just say what you want and your food will appear on your plate. Same goes for the drinks as well. You may start ordering your food now." Harry ordered a sirloin steak and shandy and Hermione ordered a lamb chop and pumpkin juice. Suddenly, the lights went off and candles appeared on every table. "After you have finished your food, you may dance with your partner." said Dumbledore. Right after Dumbledore's sentence, music could be heard. After Ron finished his food, he and Lavender Brown went to dance. Ron couldn't dance and kept stepping on Lavender Brown's foot. Lavender was angry with Ron and went back to the table. Hermione and Harry went to dance shortly after Ron went back to the table. Hermione and Harry danced gracefully. Ron kept placing his eyes on Harry and Hermione and he looked jealous. Malfoy was sitting with Pansy Parkinson, not taking his eyes off Harry and Hermione too. "I didn't know that dancing with you could feel so great." Said Harry. Hermione smiled at Harry. Malfoy was pulling Pansy towards the dance floor too. He purposely stepped on Hary's foot and made Harry yelp in pain. "What was that for, Malfoy!?" asked Harry angrily, who stopped dancing with Hermione. "You should know better than me, Potter." Said Malfoy, with an evil smirk on his face, staring at Harry with those two pale eyes. "Ignore him, Hermione. I think he has got smacked in the head by a bludger or something." Said Harry. "Shut your ass, Potter!" and he stepped on Harry's foot again. Harry took out his wand and shouted "Expelliarmus!!" Malfoy flew to Cho Chang and some Ravenclaw guy's table and made everything topple over. Everybody's attention went to Malfoy. Pansy went over to Malfoy. The whole Great Hall went extremely silent. "Harry!" Hermione whispered. "Everybody, go back to your houses." Said Dumbledore. Harry and Malfoy walked to the doors when Dumbledore continued "Except. For Mr Potter and Malfoy." Harry and Malfoy stookd still with their heads down till everyone was gone. Dumbledore walked towards them. "Come with me, the two of you." Dumbledore pushed open the doors and walked up the marble staircase to his office. "Pizza Hut." And the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office suddenly sprang to life and revealed a staircase. The three of them climbed up the staircase and walked into Dumbledore's office. The two rivals looked at each other angrily. "Come in." said Dumbledore. He walked up a small flight of stairs to his table and sat down. "Explanation?" said Dumbledore calmly. "Malfoy was jealou-" "He snactched Grang-" "He stepped on my foot for n-" "He made me fly to Cho's tab-" "One at a time, Mr Potter and Malfoy." Said Dumbledore. "You start first, Mr Malfoy." "Granger was actually planning to go with me to the ball, but for no reason, she decided to go with Potter out of a sudden! I bet Potter forced her!" said Malfoy, looking at Harry furiously. Dumbledore nodded his head. "I didn't force Hermione to go with me! She just sent me a letter saying that she was not going with Malfoy anymore! So I decided to go with her!" said Harry angrily too. "At the ball, Malfoy stepped on my foot twice because he was jealous of me going with Hermione." "That was because you called me mad!" said Malfoy, his voice getting louder word by word. "No! You were jealous!" shouted Harry. "Stop!!" said Dumbledore. "So it's all because of Miss Granger that you ended up here. I hope you won't ever quarrel over her again." Harry and Malfoy looked at each other. "Please shake hands to apologize to each other." Harry and Malfoy did nothing. "Go on." Said Dumbledore. Harry and Malfoy shaked their hands. (although very reluctantly) "Good. You may go back to your common room now." Harry and Malfoy stomped out of the office angrily.
