All Because Of A Bet
Hermione bloody Granger

"Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Low and behold, she's walking over to me
This must be fake
my lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am
and why does she give a darn about me

I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe,
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you . .
Ooohoo Hoo Hooooooo

Oh yeah, Dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Oh yeah, Dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing."

It all started that night, it all started when Harry just had to open his big mouth, and it all started with that stupid bet. Why would he want to do this to me! Never in bloody hell would I ever ask Hermione out! I mean, he knows I like her, which is exactly my point. Who wouldn't like her though? I bet every bloke in the country likes her! You just can't stop staring at her. The way she always tucks a loose piece of hair behind her ears, the way she bites her lip in concentration, and the way her brown eyes dance with delight. It gives me goose bumps up and down my arms and little shivers through my spine every time. So sure, I like Hermione bloody Granger and there is no way in hell I will ever ask her to be my girlfriend. Honestly! I'm not that stupid and rejection is not a very fun thing. I refuse to go along with this, especially if it involves her.

"You going to accept?" Harry asked as he sat back in his chair lazily, a smirk spreading across his face.
"Let's see... how about NO!"
He smirked again. "I bet you twenty galleons."
"You smirk way too much." I replied with a disgusted expression.
"Are you going to make a decision, or what?"
"Twenty galleons?" I asked as he nodded his head slightly.
"Deal."
He dropped his feet on the table with a thunk. "Let us begin."
