Author's Notes: Thanks again to my reviewers. J, thanks for the grammar tidbit, and you know, I had started writing this chapter in Harry's perspective before I received your review. Sorry if the chapters are short; I'm kind of pressed for time recently, with college applications creeping up. Kill me, now. But I'll try to make this a long chapter. Oh, and there will be blue diamond-age…just, not yet. I'm thinking of a certain lion cub incident…Happy reading!

Chapter Three: Boys' Night Out

The brunet led Harry and Ron to a building opposing the building Hermione had gone into. "Do you think Hermione'll be okay?" Ron whispered to Harry as they trekked up to the imposing building.

"She's Hermione; she'll be fine." Harry said, rubbing the back of his neck. He had landed on it oddly. "I'm just worried about how we got here." He said. Ron nodded as he thought.

"This is Briscoe Hall." He said, turning to look at the two other boys. Harry looked up and over at Ron, before looking at their guide. The taller boy pointed at Ron. "You're my roommate, so why don't you come with me." He turned to Harry. "I'll show you to your room." They started into the building and up a few flights of steps. They stopped in front of a door, and the boy knocked on it. "Boq? It's Fiyero!"

There was movement in the room, and the door opened. A boy about Harry's height stood there for a moment, staring. "Oh. Hello, Fiyero." He said, slightly uncertain. "And who's this?"

"This is your new roommate!" Fiyero said, pushing Harry into the room. He grabbed Ron's arm, before starting back up the stairs. "I'll be back after I get my own roommate here settled." He called. Boq waited until Harry stepped into the room, before closing the door.

They stared at each other for a few moments, before Boq cocked his head to the side. "So, what part of Munchkinland are you from?"

"Munchkin…" Harry looked at him, perplexed, before shaking his head. "No, I'm not from Munchkinland at all. I'm from England."

"Oh." Boq sighed. "You seem…tall enough, that's all." He said. He went over to his chest and dazedly started to look through it. Harry sat down on the second bed in the room, mulling over the other boy's comment. "Are you going to the OZdust ballroom tonight?" Boq asked, finally.

Harry jumped. He had nearly forgotten the other boy was there. Boq had pulled out an off-colored suit. He laid it out onto his bed, before looking at Harry expectantly. "Oh…uh…I didn't…know there was anything going on tonight…I just got here."

Boq went back to his dresser and pulled out a sea foam green shirt and laid it on top of the brown suit coat. "Well, everyone who's anyone at Shiz is going. I'm going with Miss Nessarose Thropp, the daughter of the Governor of Munchkinland." He lowered his voice and looked around the room. "And if my good deed has earned me anything, it's a spot on Miss Galinda's dance card."

"Miss Galinda?" Harry repeated, trying to remember where he had heard the name before. He quickly remembered that it was the blonde Hermione had gone off with, and decided to store that information away for later use. He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. "But I don't have anything to wear." Harry pointed out. Boq pulled out a darker, more normal looking suit.

"This suit's too big for me, so it should fit you fine." He said, smiling. Harry looked at the suit for a moment, before smiling faintly.

"Um…thanks?" He picked up the suit daintily and put it down on his bed. "But what about a date?" he said.

Boq shrugged. "They'll be plenty of girls there who will be alone, so don't worry about it."

"Then why do you have a date?"

"To help out my friend." Boq scowled at Harry and motioned for him to get ready. Harry begrudgingly did so. He was just pulling on his coat when there was a knock at the door.

"Hey, guys." Fiyero said as he came in. Ron came in behind him, wearing a dark brown suit and looking very uncomfortable.

"Look at you." Harry said, laughing. Ron's ears turned pink.

"Look at you." He muttered. He smirked. "Well, at least we know Hermione was talked into this as well; apparently I'm her date." He looked quite pleased, and Harry rolled his eyes. A tie was thrown at him, and he caught it quickly.

"Good catch." Fiyero said. He was handing another tie to Boq. "So, are you guys almost ready for the best evening to happen at Shiz University since its creation?" He asked, an easy smile spread across his lips. Boq nodded enthusiastically, but Ron and Harry both looked rather worried. Harry did up his tie as well as he could.

There was another knock at the door. "This is getting repetitive." Harry muttered. He opened the door. Hermione and Galinda stood there with a young girl in a wheelchair.

Galinda smiled broadly. "Hello, boys!" she said. Fiyero moved over to her and took her hand. "Hello, Fiyero." She said, her voice low.

"Hello, Galinda." He said, his tone matching hers as he kissed her hand.

"Hello, Galinda!" Boq said excitedly.

"Hello, Boq." The girl in the wheelchair said. He moved over to her, trying not to look depressed.

"Hello, Miss Nessarose." He said, kissing her hand much in the way Fiyero had to Galinda.

"Hello Ron…oh, hello Ron!" Ron said sarcastically under his breath. Harry nudged him with his arm, and they both laughed silently.

"Hello, Ron." Hermione said coming over to them.

"Hello, Ro-I mean…Hermione." Ron smiled bashfully at her, and Harry laughed harder.

"Harry! Who did your tie for you?" Hermione asked, looking disgusted.

Harry looked confused. "I did it myself." He said. Hermione sighed and redid it correctly. She looked at Harry, before looking at Galinda. "Come with me." She said, pulling Harry out of the room, unnoticed.

"Hey, Hermione!" Ron yelped, following behind his two best friends. They stopped in the hallway, and Hermione let go of Harry.

"Harry, do you have a date tonight?"

"Um…no." Harry said, wincing. "Why?"

Hermione bit her lip, before letting out a sigh. "Well, there's this girl I'm rooming with who's very…peculiar. And I think she may have been the brunt of a very nasty trick played by Galinda and her friends. I just was wondering that, if she should show up tonight, you could make sure she has someone to be with?"

Harry shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, why not, Hermione? What's her name?"

"Elphaba." She said, before hugging him tightly. "Thank you, Harry." She said. Galinda and Fiyero walked out of the room.

"Well, are we ready for a party?" Galinda asked happily.
