Chapter 10: Hogsmeade Weekend

Robert interrupted Melissa's conversation about clothing with Evelyn and began to speak. "I hope neither of you have dates for Hogsmeade."

Melissa looked up at her cousin with the word guilt written all over her face and said. "Oh, I'm so sorry Robert it's that Evelyn and I have dates with aunt Luna's shop!"

His eyes widened. "Oh no don't tell that you're worried about a bloody dress for a bloody dance that happens every bloody year!"

"Yes." Both girls replied.

After a minutes worth of silence Evelyn spoke. "We can meet you in the Three Broomsticks at about one o'clock."


(Hogsmeade)

Rushing down the busy streets of Hogsmeade Melissa and Evelyn made their way into Luna's Boutique.

"Aunt Luna!" yelled Melissa.

Walking out of the back came a tall attractive woman, with long dirty blonde hair that was about five months pregnant and spoke. "Well if it isn't my favorite niece." She began to examine Melissa's expression and continued. "Let me guess, Yule Ball?"

"Yes. By the way how's uncle Ron?"

"Same as always... Just a little stressed from work. But he's doing good." Turning her attention toward the shop she noticed the platinum blonde hair and spoke. "Evelyn how's your mother?"

Looking up from a dress that she was entranced with began to respond. "She's doing fine actually. Better than that she's happier than ever!"

"Is that so? Ah, I see you found the dress. Go to the back and give it a fit."

After trying and paying for their dresses Evelyn looked at the time. She noticed that they were ten minutes late meeting Robert at the Three Broomsticks.


(Three Broomsticks)

Robert was sitting, waiting nervously for his cousin and best friend. Watching as they rushed in his heart skipped a beat.

"You're late." He stated trying to keep calm.

"Sorry." They said in unison.

After a couple drinks Jonathan came and began. "How are my favorite ladies of Hogwarts doing?"

All Melissa could do was blush. So Evelyn had to speak on her behalf. "We're doing just fine."

Looking at the bag he began to question her. "What's in the bag?"

"Nothing that concerns you."

He chuckled at her response then turned his attention to Melissa. "Melissa may I speak to you?"

Evelyn watched as both of her friends walk out of the pub. Robert began to speak. "Evelyn."

"Yes"

Sounding a little nervous he gathered the courage to speak. "Are you to the ball with anyone in particular?"

"No I haven't been asked to the ball... Robbie are you trying to ask me to the ball?" she began blushing a little.

"I wish I was." Looking at the ground.

"What are you trying to say? Are you saying that you have a date?" starting to sound worried.

"No. What I'm saying is that I don't intend on going to the ball."

A/N: I know Robert is kind of a dork. Another chappie done. Hope you guys are really enjoying the story.

I would like to thank Kashiaga, WitchofNZ, Slytherin Royalty. If I didn't get the whole update soon then the story would never continue. So thank you so much!

A special thanks to YaminyGrint4eva for letting me borrow the Name Sliver's Academy. I urge you all to read An Anonymous Visit. It's good.

That's all for now Bye!
