Journal entry- 11

It's the night before the ball... and I'm really, really excited. I'll let you venture to my hogsmeade trip

Hogsmeade Flash back

I got up. How else would I start the day? Hogsmeade day means no robes. Rock on! I dressed in a solid pink tee, and jeans. Oh how I love them.

We all headed down to the main hall where attendance would be taken. Shawn was standing with his other friend talking about who knows what before I said hi. He seemed please to see me.

When I walked off with Dan, Rachel, and Tobin I looked back to see how he took me being friends with some of the 'hottest' guys in the school.

Was that a mild look of jealousy sweeping across his face?

Mwahaha I am so evil.

Anyhoo. When the four of us reached Hogsmeade, our first stop was for candy. My favorite was the lemon drops. I'm too original. We did load up with other candy though (and a lot of it). We left the store with our money bags a lot lighter.

And I still had a dress, shoes, and anything else I might want to buy. ..Woops.


We stepped into Molly's Dress. The guys didn't seem too thrilled about this until they found out they could see us in the dresses.

Rachel tried on many dresses, including a bright red one, a black lacy one, and a shimmering grey one.

None of these really worked. The dress everyone decided on was a maroon halter dress, cut right above the knee.

My dress rocks. It's a black strapless dress, that goes knee length, with a small V cut about an inch long. The bottom is lined with bright blue material, and a blue Hawaiian flower at the bottom center. Very pretty. I got black heels to go with it too.

I pulled it on, and slid slyly out of the stall.


'Howdeh.' They all laughed. Dans eyes were glued to me. 'So, do you guys like it?'

'Hell ya!' Rachel said. Dan seemed to come to his senses. 'Oh, yeah. Mhm. It looks.. really really nice.' Was that… a 'it looks really really not nice'? or was he just caught at a weird time? Oh well, I'm not supposed to impress him am I?

I love my dress so much though. I think Dan likes it too heh. I still can't look at him strait in the eyes since falling on top of him in the kitchen.

What's gotten into him anyways?

Dan and Tobin looked for something. Dan got himself something that he wouldn't show anyone. And Tobin…well. I don't know what he's wearing. In fact I didn't know if he ever came out of the dressing room alive, until later that evening.

'Ok. I'll take me just one sec. I know this is the one' Tobin went in the dressing stall with some kind of tux. About thirty seconds later Tobin was hollering 'Um….. I can't get this on, and I think I'm stuck! Help!" Dan was pleading, sounding absolutely petrified

Was it that scary, being in a stall all alone?

'Pft, I say just leave him in there' Dan was always so nice to his best friend. It'd be pretty funny. Rachel went in, daringly.

"Let's leave them in there. Hurry up lets go!" I was trying to keep quite, but I always got excited when ever I tried to do things without getting caught. I looked over at Dan, waiting for a response. He looked really hot just sitting there with his long black hair pushed ba-Oh my god. No. I'm not even going to finish that sentence. And no I don't like Dan, I just think he has good hair. Really good hair…

But anyways.


Dan and I ran outside, leaving both Rachel and Tobin alone in the stall.

It was raining when we stepped outside. I started to feel my hair cling to my face.

" I don't think I like the rain very much Dan. Or at least not today" I had to yell. The rain was drowning out my voice, and making my shirt transparent.

"Yeah. Me neither." He yelled back. We both headed toward the nearest coffee shop, I was in the lead.

I stepped onto what I thought was going to be solid ground, but instead it was slippery mud. Well, I slipped, which I think most people would deduce when they read about someone stepping into something slippery.

I was about to hit the ground when I felt two strong hands grab me by the hips. It was Dan.

"Uh... Sorry. You were about to fall, and I thought I was going to grab your back but inst-"

Dan was rapidly responding to the situation, his cheeks fleshy pink now.

"Ok. Breathe Dan. No one is hurt, I didn't land in the mud, my purchases are fine, and you're still standing. Anyways, thank you."

Dan mumbles 'Erm...Ok'. We always seem to end up in weird situations like this.

We entered the nice, dry, cozy coffee shop.


"Two vanilla lattes please"

The lady hurried back in about a minute (thanks to magic) with our orders.

Dan and I sipped down the lattes mostly in silence. Probably about the loudest silence that I've ever heard.

We heard the door open, and I looked over. There was Shawn. I sighed. 'What a surprise.' I said half in disappointment (I really do like hanging out with Dan), the other half glad to see him.

"Hey Shawn!" I yelled over the noise. I noticed he had friends with him.

"Care to join us?" hopefully he would.

"Nah, there's not enough room. We're going to sit over if you want to join us".

"No, I've got my friend with me too" I over exaggerated a grin.

"No that's really ok, I was going to go anyways" Dan said quickly.

"I'll go with-" I tried to finish

"I have to check on Rachel and Tobin anyways, who knows what their doing anyways. So ill see you later Shawn, and ill see you Erin around" I never got to respond, for he was already backing in the rain.

So I was stuck with them, which I really don't mind. I guess the way Dan seemed kind of upset about me wanting to hang out with Shawn too was bugging me though.

But I DO NOT like Dan. Yes, he's funny, really nice, good looking in and odd way…. But no I do not like him.

Because Shawn is sexy. Maybe he'll ask me to the ball… he didn't yet, which was a big disappointment.


We walked home in the rain. I shared an umbrella with Shawn. Heh. He's so sweet. We were walking closer than normal…Maybe that was a hint. I realllllly hope so.

When we got back to the castle, I said goodbye to Shawn (I really didn't want to go). I took off my shoes, and trotted back to the common room with my bag and shoes slung over my shoulder.


That evening we all sat around the fire eating candy. And Tobin made it out of the stall after all.Turns out Rachel and Tobin are going to the ball together. Big surprise there, right? There a good couple though. Dan still didn't say much.

Ok? So what's up with him?

"You trust him?" Dan said, the first few words I've heard out of his mouth within hours

"Wh-ohhh Shawn? Yeah... Why are you so against him?"

"I don't know about him. I've heard things, and he just doesn't seem…..."

Dan was really starting to make me angry.

"Speaking of which, I said I would meet him down at the kitchens for hot chocolate soon". It was a lie, but I was really getting tired of Dan telling me not to hang around him. I started to leave, when he grabbed my arm.

"Do you have to go? Tonight? Please just don't go in the dark to him". He seemed to over exaggerate 'tonight. What the hell was his problem?

I pulled my arm back.

"Dan, you know what? You don't even know him! What do you think your doing? Trying to tell me who to hang out with and who not to? He's nice, and he certainly is trust worthy enough for me. To be honest, it seems like you're jealous of him. So just

Fuck off, and let me live my own life!"

I stormed out of the room, catching the attention on onlookers near by. I guess I was going to get some hot chocolate alone.


the next day

Quidditch practice was over for the day, all of us were exhausted. We've been training hard for the upcoming quidditch game against Slytherine. Two weeks to practice. We are so going to kick ass.

I walked out of the locker room with broom in hand.

'Hey.'. Well that came out of nowhere

I turned around to see Shawn leaning up against the locker room wall.

"Oh! Hey! What's up?"

"Not much... the ball is coming up in two days though..."

oh.my.god... is this really happening to me? I believe it is.

"Uhm… Yep, I believe it is"

"So. Who are you going with?"

"No one."

"Hm. Me neither."

"That's… odd, there are always girls crawling all over you"

"Yes, but I don't really like those girls. They're ugly. Haha" Ha.. That was kinda offensive. Do people have to be pretty to be liked?

"Haha.."

"So… I've got a good idea"

"And. what is that?"

"I think we should go out… or just to the ball"

I blushed. Seriously. I've never been asked out before.

"I'd say both, but am I truly pretty enough for you?" I joked.

"Pft. You're gorgeous. Red beautiful hair, beautiful eyes, awesome body..." he reached out and stroked my hair. Pft. Awesome body eh? …. He's moving fast... Hair touching. Is this normal? Oh well. I felt weaker with every inch closer he moved.

"Well, than maybe I should be going out with a hot guy like you. I like brown eyes, especially with brown hair" I smiled. Whoa. Did that just come out of my mouth?

We talked for a little, and headed back up to the castle. He grabbed my hand.

My knees felt like jelly. What's happening to me? I had to tell my self to breathe and relax.

"I have to go to my common room then..." I laughed slightly. I didn't want to leave. I felt so comfortable, hand in hand with Shawn.

He walked me up the staircase leading to the Ravenclaw common room.

"Well I'll see you later then. In detention tomorrow" I winked. He suddenly moved forward, and pecked me on the lips, and walked away.


I stood frozen for... a century, my eyes as wide as bagels. My first kiss... Ah… with Shawn too. I nearly fainted.

The day went by too slowly. Detention finally came (who ever WANTS detention to come? I must be some sort of freak.).

We both had to polish out ink containers, and clean of quills. Shawn and I sat next to each other polishing away.

"I'll leave you two to finish cleaning these. Half an hour and ill expect them to be done. Also, no magic. Sorry, detention rules. You try magic, and it just becomes harder for you to clean the ink off. If you don't believe me, try it." Professor Markley left the room.

We finished polishing everything in about 25 minutes.

"So… five minutes to kill..." I was standing over by the wall, my butt hurt from sitting, and Dan came to join me.

"Yep..." I was tired; I didn't know what else to say.

"So how's scho-"I was trying to break the silence, but was cut off by lip locking.

His tongue found his way into mine, and my arms found their way around his neck.

His hand was on my hips, slowly making their way up.

Ok. I think he's moving a little fast, but then again I am an inexperienced hippie.

He never got any farther. There was the sound of shoes moving down the hallway toward the room.

We quickly split, I sat in a desk, with the rag in my hand, and he was pretending to throw something away.

"Lovely! So, I'll see you in two days. I see I might have to find something more difficult for you trouble makers". She laughed. Ha. Ha.

"So.. Ill see you tomorrow. How about we meet at 6:50 out at the end of the Ravenclaw stair case?"

"Yep. See ya then!" I pecked him on the cheek, and hurried off.


A/N. I think ill continue this story.. No matter how many comments I get. But I still would like them. Maybe someday ill take this plot at rewrite it in third person.
