After dinner, Draco Malfoy decided to take a walk. Trailing behind him were his two faithful goons, Crabbe and Goyle. He suddenly saw Granger and that forlorn-looking Beauxbatons transfer student. The Beauxbatons girl was pretty, he had to admit. But she was friends with Weasel, Mudblood, and Potty. He couldn't make a move.

Yet.

The Gryffindor quartet was standing by the lake, chatting with Alicia Spinnet, Lee Jordan, George Weasley, Katie Bell, Fred Weasley, and Angelina Johnson. They, Ron, and Harry were in a heated discussion about Quidditch, seeing as they are all on the Quidditch team.

"No, Bell, the Snitch is not an animal. It is a ball, and it wins us most of the matches. Be thankful for it."

"I think that the Quaffle is the most dangerous ball. Those things hurt when they hit you."

"Seeker is the hardest position. You have to be fast and have keen eyesight. No offense, Potter."

"None taken, Spinnet. I just hope that that bug butt of yours won't make the broom crack in half."

"Hey! That's not nice Harry! Apologize to Alicia!"

"What? It's true! She has an abnormally large tush."

"And it's very comfortable to me. It's like having a little extra padding. No problems there."

"It's probably rather comfy when she sits on you."

"Yeah, as long as it doesn't swallow you up first."

Howls of laughter erupted from the girls and hoots from the boys.

"Okay, can we get off the subject of Alicia's butt?" someone said. They noticed Ginny Weasley standing with Jana and Hermione. All three had scowls on their face.

"Aw, c'mon ladies, we were just having a bit 'o fun."

"Just to finalize things, what gives you the right to stare at my derriere?"

"Aww, Leesh, we can't help it. It's just there, right in our faces. And when you walk, it goes boing, boing, boing!"

"Omigosh!" Katie shrieked as she looked at her watch. "It's 6:22! We're late for Quidditch practice!" They all rushed off towards the Quidditch pitch.

"See you later!" Ron yelled to the three remaining girls.

"Okay," Hermione said, "now we can get ready for the party. Let's go, Jana!" She grabbed Jana's hand and they took off for the Gryffindor common room.

Jana had no clue what Hermione was up to, so she went along with her. Soon, they were up at the boys' dormitories. Hermione was searching through Harry's trunk until she pulled out a wrinkly, folded piece of parchment. Hermione whispered to Jana, "Never tell ANYONE about this. Filch will have all of our heads if he finds out. Well, here goes." She pulled out her wand, tapped the parchment, and uttered, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." The parchment then became a map. Jana read the cover slowly and aloud. "Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present The Marauders Map. Huh? Marauder's Map?" Jana was curious. "Shhh!" Hermione said. "We have to sneak to the Room of Requirement. Come on, let's go!" They went together and stopped on the seventh floor in front of a tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy being clubbed by a bunch of trolls. There was a blank stretch of wall on the other side of the corridor. "Ok, Jana, think hard about needing somewhere with really nice outfits to get dressed for the party at. Pace the wall with me 3 times. Let's go." Hermione said and the two started pacing. Sure enough, after the 3rd time, there was a large oak door. They went inside and saw a ton of beautiful clothes. "Well, Jana," Hermione said as she picked up a blue jean sparkly miniskirt, "this is the Room of Requirement. You like?" She tossed the mini to Jana and she tried it on, along with a cute blue off-the-shoulder top with Hawaiian flowers on it. "I'm ready." Jana said.

Soon after, Hermione exited the Room of Requirement and the door disappeared. They walked down the stairs, laughing. Suddenly, they ran into Pansy Parkinson and Cho Chang talking. "Hi guys!" Cho said. Pansy looked the girls up and down. "And exactly where are you coming from?" she asked quizzically. "We were trying to find Lavender to ask her what music she's gonna play at the party tonight." Jana smoothly answered. "Oh, we just spoke with her not too long ago. She's playing some Muggle stuff. It sounds okay. Well, we've got to get ready. See you guys there!" Cho said and she and Pansy ran off to the 5th floor. Jana and Hermione continued to the 3rd floor.

They got to the Gryffindor common room. "Alohomora." Jana breathed. "All right girls, hurry in." said the Fat Lady. Ron and Harry were bickering on the stairs to the boys' dormitories. "Here, hide." Hermione said and dragged Jana down behind a couch. Ron and Harry sat down. "I wonder where those two nitwit women are at." said Ron impatiently. "They're only three minutes late, Ron. Chill out." came the nonchalant voice of Harry. "Well, another two and I'm leaving. I don't want to miss anything. You know, I bet they ditched us and are hiding in some broom closet, giggling their silly brains out, or they're already at the party, gossiping and having a jolly good time." Ron continued, sounding annoyed. Hermione and Jana whispered, "Five, four, three, two, one, CHAAAAAAARGE!!!"

The girls jumped over the couch and onto the boys. "Bloody hell!" Ron said. "You gave us a horrible scare." "Enough bickering, guys. Let's go!" Hermione said.

The four stepped into the vacant classroom. Awe struck Jana as they all made their way through the crowd. A Muggle dance song, "Lose My Breath", was blasting loudly. You could see a glamour bewitched on the door to keep out teachers and an Apparition block. "Jana, can I talk to you again?" Ron said and seized her wrist to keep her from escaping while pulling her towards a corner. "Um, okay. You guys go on. We'll be with you in a sec." Jana said. "Okay, what do you want?" she asked, turning to face Ron. Ron hesitated, his face burning bright crimson, and finally said, "Janaella Philigrea, I think I'm in love with you." And then he kissed her. Glee filled her body and so she could barely breathe. Suddenly, he jerked backwards. "Damn... Jana, I'm so sorry... I can't do this." he rasped and hurried off.

Still standing in the corner where he had left her, Jana was partly shocked, partly bewildered, and partly furious. I mean, who flees from a kiss after pronouncing their love? This was wrong. Her whole night was royally screwed up. Jana went to go get herself some soda. She went to the refreshment table and turned just in time to see Hermione and Ron making out! She was utterly furious. How could he! She turned to the first guy she came across and planted a big French kiss on him. She had hoped that it was Harry, but it seemed that luck was not on her side that night. As she pulled away, she gasped in horror. The face that came into view was none other than everyone's favorite slimy Slytherin, Draco Malfoy. Ashamed and disgusted, Jana fled the room, not even looking back. Harry saw her and was in close pursuit. She fled to the Astronomy Tower, flung herself on the floor, and cried her eyes out. Soon, Harry was knelt beside her, patting her hair and saying, "There, there Jana. Don't cry." But Jana knew he was disgusted with her. She had kissed one of his sworn rivals. Jana spent a good deal of the night, crying an holding onto Harry for dear life. Before she blacked out, Harry was helping her into the common room and lying her down on one of the sofas. That was all she remembered of the dreadful night.
