A/N: Please, Please, PLEASE Review!!!!!!!!!! I really need your support! Or else I'll have to stop and probably remove this story because of lack of reviews; I mean what's the point if no-one reads them?!

Sorry dudes but there's a bit of Harry and Lavender action in this chapter.

Also I have no idea what boys do when they're hanging out (cause I'm a girl) so forgive me if it's not realistic (they might seem a bit gay in some scenes, lol). Yes, Harry again is a bit O.O.C.

Chapter 6: One BIG Mistake

Christmas Day seemed to pass by so quickly that next thing Harry found himself getting ready for the Ball.

Harry and Ron decided on a truce for having each other's potential girlfriends as dates.

'So, Hermione's pissed at me and you're pissed at Lavender and that's why we've swapped dates.' Harry said trying to comprehend their situation. Ron nodded as he put on his new navy blue dress robes.

'That's right mate.' said Ron.

'So when are we all going to stop being pissed?' asked Harry.

'When we get pissed at the ball.' said Ron grinning widely.

'But alcohol's not allowed at the ball.' said Harry innocently.

'Rumour has it that Malfoy's smuggling in some firewhisky and spiking the punch.' said Ron whispering unnecessarily.

'At least that bastard's good for something.' said Harry.

Harry looked in the mirror realising that he too changed quite a bit.

'Damn he's hot, oh wait that's me.' he joked aloud.

'Quit checking yourself out and save it for the ladies. And for god sakes put a shirt on!' said Ron, laughing.

He shoved Harry with his elbow. Both laughing as they got into a pretend hissy fight.

'Alright, alright, I see that me getting naked upsets you.' said Harry as he finally put on his emerald green dress robes.

'You two girls finished playing?' said Dean Thomas behind them.

'Yeah but now we're going to start making out now so go run along to your boyfriend Seamus.' said Harry sarcastically. Now all the seventh year Gryffindor boys came in the dormitory all laughing stupidly.

As Harry, Ron, Dean, Seamus and Neville made their way down to the Great Hall they found all the girls already waiting there. The atmosphere was a lot more casual than the previous Yule Ball because of the absence of foreign schools and the feeling of showing of to each other. Harry and Ron found Hermione and Lavender standing together both extremely anxious. As Hermione caught Harry's eye and Ron caught Lavender's they all started to feel uneasy.

Finally the doors flung open to admit them in which gave them an excuse to separate, Harry with Lavender and Ron with Hermione.

Hermione was dressed even more beautifully than she did at the Yule Ball but Harry had to admit Lavender did look quite attractive. She wore a revealing black dress robe that showed off the cleavage of her braless chest. Her shoulder-length blonde hair had soft curls and waves and as Harry continued to stare Lavender began to get nervous and blushed. He couldn't believe he was checking her out.

'We should go look for a table.' Lavender suggested awkwardly.

'Yeah, that's a good idea.' Harry agreed.

They found a table with Dean and Parvati and found that it was an immediate mistake (not as big as what they were about to face later that night though). Dean and Parvati were all lovey-dovey and mushy with each other which drove Harry and Lavender insane throughout the night. Finally Dean and Parvati left do go and dance (My Boo by Usher and Alicia Keys was being played by a DJ that Dumbledore hired in curiosity).

'Hey, do you want to get a drink?' suggested Harry realising that this ball was nearly as bad as the previous one.

'You never thought of asking me did you?' said Lavender unexpectedly.

'W-what?'

'Out of all the girls you wouldn't have picked me?' said Lavender peculiarly.

'I kinda only had one girl on my mind really.' said Harry truthfully.

'Of course …. Well, never mind. Yeah you can go get drinks.' said Lavender.

Harry got up, completely perplexed and walked over to the bowl of punch which was emitting red and green sparks.

He couldn't understand how any male could figure out how a girl's mind works.

Suddenly the song 'My Boo' finished and 'This Love' by Maroon 5 started playing.

A was so high

I did not recognise

The fire burning in her eyes

The chaos that controlled my mind

Whispered goodbye

And she got on a plane

Never to return again

Always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye

Too many times before…

Harry felt that he could somehow relate to the song, what with Hermione not being able to forgive him and Lavender suddenly acting so bizarrely.

'Women are so fucking difficult to please.' he muttered under his breath.

'I won't be drinking that if I were you.' said a familiar voice behind him.

He turned around and found Hermione looking up at him worriedly.

'But you're not me, are you?' answered Harry coolly.

Why couldn't she just forget about the whole thing and forgive him?

'That punch is mixed with firewhisky and potion.' she said irritably.

'I am aware of that but so what? I just want to get pissed and forget about everything anyway! So if you don't mind I'll be taking these drinks to my date.' he said defiantly.

'Oh, I don't mind! Goodbye Harry.' she said shrilly and walked off.

Harry couldn't believe he acted like such an ass with Hermione. Now he really wanted to get drunk and forget.

But half of him also wanted to run after Hermione and apologise about everything he'd done.

He decided to take the drinks to Lavender and see what happens; because this night couldn't get any worse, could it?

Yes it could.

After he and Lavender had drunk more than five goblets he found himself back in the Gryffindor boy's dormitory with Lavender giggling uncontrollably and undressing right in front of him.

'Let's start our own party in your bed!' she exclaimed drunkenly.

'Whooo! Great idea!' Harry found himself saying and undressing himself.

'Oooh, you're so sexy Harry!' giggled Lavender.

He pulled her closer and kissed her passionately, her large breasts crushing against his chest.

Well you could only guess what happens next…

A/N: Again I'm sorry about this whole Harry and Lavender thing but you've got to understand that they're completely wasted. I promise to have more H/Hr as long as you people promise as you are reading this sentence to review right after!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
