Ron and the new girl
(Chapter 3)
"Hey Michelle, guess what we are going to the ball." Said Liz with a smile but Michelle told her that she was not going alone but Liz told her that Harry asked her and that she was going with his friend. Michelle was thrilled and hoped that she was going out with Ron and then a day went by and the dance was there. Then as the cousins were getting dressed and changed they heard a knock on the door and they thought it was them but actually a group of guys were outside lined up to ask them out but Michelle and Liz just slammed the door in their faces. But then once they were done getting ready they heard a knock on the door and Liz answered it and the two guys were standing in the doorway. Harry and Ron were amazed at how pretty the girls looked and they left. Ron asked Harry silently if he saw Hermione but just shook his head. Once they got at the ball they saw Hermione with Malfoy dancing and were shocked and almost fainted until the two girls asked them to dance. Inside Michelle's head she thought that she was glad to be there with Ron but felt guilty because he had a girlfriend who was extremely nice to her. Michelle tried to not make a move on Ron but noticed that he was doing the opposite and liked it. When Hermione saw that he put his hands around the girl she felt like she was going to cry.
"What is wrong my little flower?" Malfoy said disgustedly but Hermione did not answer but as she watches Ron whisper in her ear she ran out of the ball and Ron saw and went after her. 'I knew that I never should have come here.' Then Michelle left the ball crying and in pain. Harry and Liz watched all this happen and felt bad that they were the only ones having a good time. As the night grew longer Harry felt in Heaven and Liz was right there with him Harry slightly pulled her closer and before they knew it he kissed her in a passionate kind of way. But then they stopped and Harry whispered in her ear, "I love you." But she panicked and told him that she loved him too but that they did not know each other well enough to say that. Then the ball was over and Harry walked Liz home and all he thought was 'Wow she loves me' all the way home to his dorm. Once he reached his dorm he saw Ron and Hermione talking and saw that Hermione started to cry but saw that Ron looked serious and knew that it was actually over between them.
The next day Ron caught up with Michelle and told her that he was sorry but she looked at him and said, "I am sorry to. For believing that I liked you when you clearly have a girlfriend." Ron looked confused but knew Hermione had something to do with this. As he was trying to say that he did not have a girlfriend a guy came up to him… it was Malfoy. Michelle looked sad but said, "Have a good life, oh him we met at the ball when you ran off because he asked me if I wanted to go out with him so now we are dating." As she said that she felt a knot in her stomach and saw that Ron looked hurt but all of a sudden Hermione came up to them and told Michelle if there was a problem but Malfoy and her just walked away hand in hand with her so much pain. So Hermione looked at him and said, "So do you want to go out?" She just said that at his weakest moment but to her surprise he turned her down. Ron went over to Harry and told him everything and Ron knew he had blown his chance with the girl of his dreams all in one lousy night.
