Thanks to all my reviewers!

"I dunno which was worse. Dumbledore actually announcing about the ball or when he said all

of us enjoyed the last one." said Harry.

"Nah mate. The worse part was when he said annual! Every bloody year we gotta worry

about getting ourselves a girl!" said Ron. The two boys both groaned as they headed down to

breakfast.

"Well I don't think it's that bad." Hermione said as they went down. "At least you both are

a bit more prepared and educated about what to do."

"Educated! The only thing I learned from the last ball is never ask a veela out!" exclaimed

Ron.
"Aw come on mate. You have to admit we are a bit more prepared on what to expect.

Girls always giggle and your dates will most likely dump you if you ignore them" said Harry.

"Fascinating discovery." said Hermione rolling her eyes.

"And besides Ron at least you have new dress robes. Don't worry about it , it's just one

night!"

"One night for the rest of my bloody school career! And now I have to worry about asking a

girl out!"

Hermione pursed her lips but said nothing.

"Great I don't even know who to ask!" said Harry.

"Does it look like I do?" asked Ron.

"Good point."

"So Hermione who're you going with since Vicky isn't coming?" Ron questioned scathingly.

Normally Hermione would have gotten irritated and the "Vicky" but she was too used to it to

even care.
"Who says I'm even going." she replied

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!" both Harry and Ron yelled.

"Well no one said it was mandatory to go. And besides balls just aren't my thing."

"What are you talking about? Hermione balls are every girl's thing!" exclaimed Ron.

"Well surprise, surprise, I'm just not every girl." Hermione said in an icy tone.

During Charms all the girls seemed to be very giggly. Many began throwing the boys

furtive looks and when they seemed to catch them the girls would just shriek, blush and giggle

again. There was a rumor floating around in the school that a Hufflepuff third year got detention

from Snape for asking him to teach the students how to brew a love potion.

"Drat I forgot my bag I'll be right back." Harry said.

AN: I know really lame way to leave 'I forgot my bag' but I was lost for ideas of how to get him away from Ron and Hermy!

"Hermione, what was Flitwick saying about that language speech thingy?" Ron asked

Hermione as they sat down to lunch in the Great Hall. Before she could reply, Lavender and

Parvati ambushed her.

"Hermione we need your help." Parvati said as she shoved Ron off the bench so she could

sit down.

"Yes, see well we normally wouldn't ask you," said Lavender

"Seeing how you don't seem to you know really care about this important stuff--"

"But you really have to admit that we will need to know the best way to apply eyeliner

some day,"
"Anyway we were wondering--"

"If you may just possibly know which way we should do our hair." finished Lavender.

Both Ron (who managed to get off the floor and find a seat) and Hermione gaped at the

two of them mouth open. It was Parvati who broke the awkward moment of silence.

"Yes well we were desperate and we thought you could possibly help us."

"Well I guess we made a mistake asking you."

"But I'm sure you must know something I mean you did go to Victor Krum at the Yule

Ball."
"And you managed to get your hair into that incredibly cute bun."

"And besides you're a girl. Every girl must at least have even a small amount of knowledge

on which hairdo, lipstick color, and shade of blush looks best on themselves."

"You do have at least a little beauty knowledge in that amazing brain of yours right?"

Lavender asked with batted eyes.

"Umm..." was the reply.

"Yes, well we thought so. Don't worry Hermione we'll just find someone else who would

possibly know what to do with our hair. Don't worry one bit. Besides we don't even think balls

are much of your thing. We're sure you'd rather be at some study...thing." Parvati said.

"Well anyway we gotta go. Lots to do before the ball." Lavender replied.

"Tata!" And they both whisked away.

"What the bloody hell AN my favorite line from the movie were they thinking?! I

mean you and beauty tips?" Ron exclaimed watching Lavender and Parvati leave the Great Hall

.
"So is that what you think Ron? That I'd rather be doing some study thing." Hermione

snarled at him.

"What? Well you said balls aren't much of your thing." Ron said defensively.

"That doesn't mean I don't know anything about beauty tips! Just because I actually want

to do well in school doesn't mean I don't like to do girly things!"

"But you said balls aren't your thing."

"Ugh forget it Ron. I'm sure you would just love to go to the ball with girls who actually do

know about useless rubbish like applying eyeliner!" And with that Hermione left the Great Hall.

Harry came back with his bag just in time to see her storm off.

"Ok what did you do." he asked Ron sitting down.

"What! I didn't do anything! Wait did I?"

"Well apologize anyway. You probably did do something but since you're so thick you just

didn't realize it." Harry said grinning.

Ron just hit him and began to sulk down at his lamb chops wondering why one of his best

friends always had to be so difficult.

Its longer yay!
