CHAPTER 3
Hermione looked at the sign-up sheet for the talent show. So far there were quite a few people participating:
Tina-singingToxicby Britney Spears
Malcolm, Jake and Eric-doing a comedy skit
Rosanna-Karaoke to 'goodbye to you' by Michelle Branch
Lavender and Parvati-doing a hip hop routine to 'Lose my breath' by Destiny's Child
Seamus and Dean-acting out lines from our favourite movie
Mia and Jordan-doing karaoke to A whole new world
Hermione added her name under Mia and Jordan's act. Hermione-doing karaoke to If I aint got you by Alicia Keys
She smiled and her excitement for the ball and talent show increased by ten. Hermione looked at her watch and realized she was late for potions! Hermione was never late for anything! This would definitely lower her potions mark.Hermione ran to her potions class, and before she could stop herself, she crashed right into someone else.
Her books went flying out of her bag and she fell hard onto the floor.
"Damnit,"she said. She looked at the person she had crashed into, and gasped. "Mike!"She said. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry!"
Mike looked up at her in surprise. "Hermione?"He said, "are you okay?"
"Yeah,"she said, "thanks. Are you?"
"yup,"Mike said. She watched him get up. He looked down at her, those blue eyes made her melt, and his shaggy blonde hair caught the light and fell around his face. Snap out of it, Hermione, you like RON, not Mike! She thought. But she couldn't help it..she liked Mike as well. Mike smiled at her. "Need any help?"He asked. "Oh...yeah, thanks,"she answered, "well..actually, I'm late for potions. Which is really unlike me..I'm always on time!"
Mike smiled at her. "One of those top-students, are you?"
"Yeah,"she answered. "I've always been."
Mike smiled again. She was very pretty. He liked her curly brown hair and cute brown eyes.
After Mike and Hermione picked up Hermione's stuff, Mike waited until she looked at him.
"Hermione, I was wondering...would you like to go to the ball with me?"
Hermione's heart leapt. "You really mean it?"She asked. "I mean, uh...yeah, of course I would, Mike. Thanks."
"You're welcome,"Mike said.
"Well I'll see you soon...Snape is going to get really pissed off."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
She ran into the dungeons. Everyone turned around to look at her. "Sorry I'm late!"She said. She saw an empty seat next to the most unpopular ugly girl in Slytherin, Agatha Anderson. Wow, great, Hermione thought sarcastically. Agatha was usually by herself. But what did Hermione care? She had just been asked to the ball by one of the hottest Ravenclaw guys, Mike Jenson! She couldn't believe her luck.
"Thirty points from Gryffindor, Granger!"Snape said, "I would've expected better from you!"
"Sorry, sir,"Hermione said.
Harry and Ron looked round at her in surprise, Hermione just shrugged at them.
Later on, Harry, Ron, and Hermione talked about the ball.
"Who did you ask, Harry?"Hermione asked.
"No one yet,"Harry answered. "Who did you ask?"
"Mike Jenson from Ravenclaw,"Hermione said, "actually, he asked ME to the ball!"
"Great, Hermione!"Harry said, "that's awesome."
"Thanks,"Hermione said, smiling. Her smile disappeared as soon as she looked at Ron.
"What's wrong, Ron?"She asked.
Ron shrugged. All of a sudden he had gone quiet, which wasn't usually like him. He had felt bad that he didn't ask Hermione out, and now it was too late, some pretty boy had already asked her!
"Ron?"Hermione said again. She realized he wasn't acting himself.
"Oh...nothing,"Ron said. "He wasn't sure if he wanted to tell her.
"Why, did someone turn you down?"Hermione asked.
"Yes,"Ron answered. He meant her.
"Oh..who?"Hermione asked.
"Oh,someone,"Ron answered. Harry frowned. What was Ron thinking? Didn't Lavender say yes to him already? She was the only one he asked that Harry knew of.
Hermione frowned too. "Ron, is there something you're not telling us?"She asked.
"Maybe, maybe not."
Hermione looked at Harry, who shrugged.
"Never mind,"Ron said. He was looking at Hermione.
When Hermione entered the girls' dorm, Lavender was looking dreamy and talking to Parvati about something that happened earlier that day. "Omigosh!"Parvati said, "that's so cool! You're so lucky."
"What happened?"Hermione asked.
"Ron asked me to the ball!"Lavender answered with a sigh. Hermione's heart fell. She knew she was going with Mike, but she still loved Ron. "Did he turn you down?"Hermione asked. Lavender looked at her like she was crazy. "Hell no,"she said, "why on earth would he do that?"
"Um..because he said he got turned down by someone,"Hermione answered.
"maybe by someone he asked before,"Lavender said.
"I don't know,"hermione said.
