Hey, this is my first fan fiction.

It was a snowy afternoon at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione Granger and Harry Potter were sitting in the common room, waiting for Ron Weasley to come back from the hospital wing. He got a bad bite from Scabbers, his rat.

" So, are you and your boyfriend, Seamus Finnegan going to the end of year ball together" Harry asked Hermione.

" Of course. Who will you be going with?" Hermione asked, with interest.

" Oh I'll probably ask Cho but I'm not sure" Harry said, disappointed that he couldn't ask Hermione.

At that moment, Ron returned, with a bandage on his arm.

" What are you guys talking about?"

Hermione grinned cheekily at him and said

" How much we secretly hate you!"

Meanwhile Hagrid and Professor Mc. Gonagall were setting up the main hall for the ball. Hagrid was worried because a serial killer called Gingratus Mufflestutter was on the loose and it was reported that he was after the students of the three main wizarding schools, Hogwarts, Beuxbatons and Durmstrang. Nobody knew his whereabouts…

" Will you go to the ball with me"

" No, sorry"

Ron had just received his 20th rejection. Harry and Hermione tried to stifle their laughter.

"I think I'm going to go to bed" Ron marched up the stairs, leaving Harry and Hermione chatting away.

Ron was alone in the common room….or so he thought. As he got into bed, a shadow came up behind him…….

Harry had decided to just get a date, once and for all. He marched up to Ginny Weasley and said " Wanna go to the ball".

Ginny looked surprised. " Yes! I thought you were going with Cho?".

"No , it's not as if I'm her boyfriend or anything! I thought it would be nicer to go with a Gryffindor!"

Ginny smiled. Just then a high pitched shriek came from the boys' dormitory…….

Please please review! I can take criticism but make it CONSTRUCTIVE!
