Harry and Ron were playing tic-tac-toe one fine day when there was a very special announcement.
"Good morning students-" said Dumbledore over the Hogwarts PA system. "I have a very special announcement. This year we will have the Yule Ball at our school, students in 4th year and up may attend. Hope to see you there."
"A dance sounds cool." said Ron to Harry.
"Yeah and Dumbledore sounds pretty excited" said Harry. At that moment the Headmaster's voice came back on.
"Can't wait until those kids all get locked in so I can turn the sprinklers on them" chuckled Dumbledore.
"Sir, you have to stop pressing the button for it turn off" whispered Professor McGonagall.
"…well son of a…"
Later after class….
Harry and Ron were walking in the hallway when they met up with Hermione.
"So who are you guys asking to the Yule Ball?" said Harry.
Suddenly, Hermione got very red in the face and turned to Ron, as if embarrassed to ask him something. "Ron, I, um, been meaning to ask you this…for a long time" she said, trying not to look him in the face.
"Uh, yes Hermione?" Ron said uneasily.
"Well I was just wondering if you would-" she said. Harry started to play a record with sappy music in the backround. Could this be the moment that all Ron/Hermione shippers were waiting for!? Could this be when Hermione would finally hook up with Ron!?
"-pay me back those 5 dollars you borrowed?" she said finally. The record scratched.
"Oh yeah, here you go" said Ron forking over the money. Hermione walked away happily and went to go look for Viktor Krum.
They both continued to walk down the hall when Harry stopped and gazed ahead. Ron looked at what Harry was so entranced with and saw Cho Chang with her groupies following her.
"Ron, do you think I should go talk to her?" asked Harry.
"Allow me my good man, I'll clear a path for you" sad Ron in a roguish voice. He walked up to Cho Chang and then ushered Harry to come over. As he walked over, he heard a loud tearing sound and he realized that he had ripped his robes.
"Hey Harry, Ron told me that you are looking for a date to the-"said Cho, but stopped and looked at the rip in Harry's clothing. "- did you just rip your robes?"
"Yes, I ripped my robes…" said Harry.
"See you later loser!" said Cho as she went to meet up with Cedric who had just narrowly escaped the Hogwarts crocodile pit of doom.
"Dude, I totally hooked you up! Why didn't you put the moves on her?" asked Ron.
"Because Ron, I lost her the moment I ripped…my robes" said Harry sadly as he pulled out a guitar from his emergency kit.
"I thought that I had everybody on my side-" sang Harry as several students stopped to look at him. Ron bought out his tambourine.
"But now she wont even talk to me, because I ripped…my robes-" Suddenly, like in every other spur-the-moment musical numbers, everyone knew the words to the song and joined in.
"When Cedric came into town, Harry turned into a clown, and no one evvvveer wants to dance, with a fool that went and, ripped his robes-" sand the crowd.
"I know I should mumble and I shouldn't curse, but the pain feels so much worse-" sang Harry in a deep voice.
"Hey Harry its time for lunch" said Ron as he checked his Winnie the Pooh watch.
Harry quit feeling sorry for himself and threw his guitar into the onlookers. Someone got smacked in the head and still hasn't woken up.
Later, in the Great Hall…
All the student were chatting excitedly about the upcoming Yule Ball as they ate their Taco Bell Tacos. Harry, Ron and Hermione were savoring their delicious fast food, when Hedwig and a bunch of other owls came flying in.
They seemed to be carrying a…person in a suit, but due to all the owl-nip they consumed from the previous night, the owls drunkenly let go of the person at the same time. This unidentified guest crashed into a bowl of potatoes, bumped into a jug of pumpkin juice, careened into a big dish of pudding and fell to the ground.
"Mail's here!" yelled out George happily.
Everyone gathered around to see who had just arrived. The person got up and was miraculously untouched by the food and flashed an award- winning smile. The girls swooned.
"Hello everyone!"
It was Harry's old friend…Prince William.
"Wassup Will! What are you doing here?" asked Harry as he got out from under a pile of Jell-O.
"I heard that the Yule Ball was taking place this year and I couldn't pass up the opportunity."
"Wait, how did you know about the Yule Ball?" asked Hermione from under a pile of potatoes.
"Who doesn't know about it?" said Will wisely. Hermione accepted this and dashed off.

I know that chapter was short but I didn't want to cram it in with the actual Yule Ball chapter.
Mad Props to the Sponge bob episode when he rips his pants. Now that I think, I promised a musical numbers in my last two fics, but here when I don't even mention it in the summary, characters are busting out into song everywhere. Go figure….Review!
