Over the next couple of weeks, I felt like I was lost, wondering around without knowing where to go. I would talk with Ginny sometimes and maybe Hermione. I didn't dare look at or even speak to Harry.

I hadn't spoken to Malfoy since we broke up. I would see him in the halls, but he wouldn't look at me.

I walked into the common room the first day of December and saw a crowd around the notice board.

What's going on now?, I thought to myself.

After the crowd had finally cleared, I walked over to see what it was. It was a notice saying:

Christmas Ball

All years are permitted to come.

Ball begins right after the Christmas feast on Christmas Day.

Please come and have fun! Ball ends at midnight.

"They're having another ball?" I said aloud.

"Looks like it," said a voice behind me.

I turned around to see who it was. Padma Patil was standing behind me reading the notice too.

"Why, though?" I asked. "The other one was because of the Tournament."

"I heard that they wanted to do it again because everyone enjoyed it last time. But I don't know why they didn't have it last year."

She walked away to go sit with her friends.

The days leading up to the ball went by slowly. Everyone in the castle was talking about it. All the girls were talking about which boys they wanted to go with.

I was the only one who wasn't. I still felt really bad about what I did to Malfoy.

It was the day before Christmas, which meant the ball was tomorrow. Everyone was signed up to stay for holliday. Almost everyone in the school seemed to have a date, but I didn't think Malfoy had one.

After dinner I was walking out of the Hall when I heard my name.

"Luna!" I turned around and groaned when I saw Harry.

"What?" I said, hoping he could say whatever he wanted to say quickly so I could get away.

"Well, I was wondering," he said, "if maybe you would like to go to the ball with me."

I stared at him in shock. What is he trying to do? , I thought horrified.

"What are you doing?" I said angerly.

"What do you mean?" Harry said looking confused.

"Why are you doing this? You shouldn't be asking me this! How dare you!"

"Luna, what's the matter?"

"You're the reason Draco and I broke up!"

"I'm the reason?" said Harry. He seemed to be getting angry too.

"Yes!" I shouted. "If you hadn't kissed me then Draco and I would still be together!"

"Why are you putting all of this on me?" Harry shouted. Some people walking by stopped to stare.

"Because it's all your fault!" I felt tears coming.

"You kissed me back!" yelled Harry pointing a finger at me. I slapped it away.

"I would never do that to Draco. I loved him and I still do!" Tears were streaming down my face.

I turned around to leave and saw Malfoy standing behind me. I couldn't make out his expression. He was just staring at me.

I ran away, back up to my dormitory. I layed in bed, crying into my pillow. I hoped to wake up the next day and find that it was all a dream.

A/N: The reason Harry is acting this way is because he likes Luna, but he's still trying to get over Sirius' death. He's all confused and he doesn't know how to handle things at the moment.
