I continued to stare at him and I started to think about what would happen if he wasn't in Slytherin and was in one of the other houses. Would things be different? Or would it be the same and nothing would have changed?
"Katie, want to come to Hogsmeade to buy some dress robes later?" Angelina asked.
"Dress robes? For what?" I asked, curiously.
"There were these rumors going around that there's going to be a ball."
"Seriously?" How come I didn't know about this?
"Yeah. Where were you this past day?" Alicia said.
"I'm okay." They have to get out of my case. Heesh! This is just ridiculous. "I'll go with you guys. But I don't know if I'll be going to the ball."
Fred looked at me, shocked. I think he was going to ask me to the dance. But he knows and I know that I would have just declined his offer. It wasn't because I don't like him. I really don't want to. When will he get the point?

Marcus was still talking to Pucey about Katie.
"Gees, are you sure you don't have a crush on her, Flint?" Pucey asked.
"I said that it wasn't any of your business, Stupid!" Marcus replied.
Pucey looked at him suspiciously and changed the subject. "So are we going to crush those Hufflepooffs in the next game?"
"Obviously, Pucey."

I went to Hogsmeade with Angelina and Alicia a little later. Tell me again why am I going with them? I'm not going to go and try to get dress robes anyway. So what am I doing? I'm making a total fool of myself for coming with them. I'd rather just go to the Three Broomsticks and just sit there and think. I've been doing that a lot lately. But why Marcus Flint. Out of all guys that are in this whole school why does it have to be him?
"Katie, what do you think of this one for me to go in?" Alicia asked.
She snapped me out of thinking. "It's great!" I said, sarcastically.
"Kats, why are you acting like you don't want to be with any other Gryffindors anymore? I know that you and Fred broke up. But get over it!" Angelina said.
"I've fine, Angel. I just like thinking a lot right now," I calmly replied. "Are you absolutely sure that Dumbledore is putting another ball?"
"Yes."
Yeah, until I finally see that Flint asks me out. I think I do like him if I'm thinking like this a lot. "Okay I'll get a dress robe too if that'll make you happy."
"Yippee!" Angelina and Alicia exclaimed in unity.
I just hope that I'm doing it for something instead of nothing.
