"I think it's cause we're Muggles, that no one wants to ask us," Vicki said very seriously to Nicole, Janelle, Sariah and Todd that morning. They were all standing outside the Great Hall after an especially delicious breakfast. The 4 friends didn't have the heart to tell Victoria why she probably wasn't being asked. She had wanted to dye her eyebrows brown, but had left the dye on her whole forehead, insisting that you were suppose to dye the hairs up there. "Yeah," Nicole said and she stopped suddenly, feeling a hot breath breathing down her neck. She turned around and looked up into the freckled face on Ronald Weasley. She eeped.
"YOU. DIDN'T. MEET. ME. IN. HOGSMEADE. FOR. OUR. DATE!" he screamed, face turning red to match his hair.
"Uh," Nicole said staring up at him with wide eyes. "See yeah!" she said then took off running, her bag swinging wildly behind her. Like a savage animal chasing it's pray, Ron let out a roar of fury and wild jungle music played in the background and he tore after her down the corridor. "Is she going to be okay?" Todd asked, looking after them with an expression of serious concern. "I mean should I get him off her? What if she trips, what if he KILLS her? Should we"
"SHUT UP, YOU'RE SO ANNOY-ING!" Janelle burst out angrily in a Pakistan voice.
"Getting dates is easy as candy is dandy!" Sariah said nodding her head calmly.
"OH YEAH WISE GUY?" Vicki chirped in a high annoying voice. "Oh yes," Sariah said then with her head high, she swung off, hair swinging behind her gracefully. She returned 2 seconds later, a twinkle in her eye. "I got a date"
"WHAT," they all yelped. "WHO"
"Some nice chap named Seamus!" she said happily before skipping off to class.
The Ravenclaws and Slytherins were exiting class, and Kaylyn and Breanne were chattering away about what they were going to wear to the ball, how to do they're hair. Nicole rested behind with Janelle, who was eying after Breanne darkly. "Oh she'll be sorry..she's going to regret that," Janelle was muttering to herself. "Oh she's going down..milk and carrots..she'd better watch out,". Nicole was too busy checking over her shoulder for Ron to listen to Janelle's threats. "Got any DATES," Breanne asked suddenly, turning around and looking at them, a cruel smile playing around her lips as her gaze landed on Janelle, who shook with silent fury.
"Nope," Nicole said shaking her head, using her watch to scratch her nose. Kaylyn wrinkled her nose slightly.
"I'm of course going with Ceddy," She said with a naughty giggle. "Yes," Nicole said slowly, now twirling her wand through her brown ringlets, and it caused them to turn vibrant pink.
"OH. MY. GOD, DID YOU GUYS KNOW I'M GETTING MY HAIR DYED PINK FOR THE BALL-" Vicki screamed as she headed towards them and stopped and looking at Nicole and her hair, then stopped, face screwing up. "YOU COPIED ME I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" she shouted then turned off on her heel and charged off.
"Mmm kay," Kaylyn said staring after her but seemed to be the only one that took notice, then headed off to lunch. Janelle also stormed off, and Nicole turned to Breanne and opened her mouth to spill the Magical Secret Plots of Janelle but Breanne had trotted off and dove into Draco's lap, where she sat up and went to kiss him on the cheek but got him in the ear, where she proceeded to make out with his ear, kissing and licking. Nicole widened one eye, squinted the other and scooted over to others to see who had gotten dates. Todd apparently seemed popular with the ladies as tons of fangirls kept racing up to the Hufflepuff table and begging him to go with them. Dominique refused to go with anyone or ask anyone else until Snape would ask her, but no one bothered to point out that he would never. "So who are you gunna take?" Nicole asked turning to Todd, who was staring transfixed into a hand mirror which he was angling at himself and was fretting over his hair.
"Some Lavender or something," he said boredly then sighed at his hair. "This is a DISASTER, my hair is HORRIBLE.
Nicole and Sariah peeked at it to see that it looked the same as always. Vicki came up, this time with shocking white blond hair. "Hah!" she snorted at Nicole then sat down, where she was asked who she was taking.
"Oh about.." Vicki began counting off her fingers. "7, 8 guys? And 2 girls,". They all stared at her, even Todd broke away from checking himself out to stare at her. She winked at them before jumping on the back of a fellow Gryffindor who was passing and hitching a ride with him. They heard him screaming as he thrashed out of the Great Hall, trying to remove Vicki. "Why don't you ever sit at you're proper tables ANYWAYS," Todd demanded. He seemed to think with them floating around him, fewer girls would admire him because they would think he was taken with at least one of them.
"Because Hufflepuffs are less judging!" Sariah said with a sincere smile. She excused herself and then shuffled over shyly to the Gryffindor table and sat down beside Seamus.
"That's it!" Nicole said firmly as she stood up. "We're getting REAL dates, c'mon," she said into a walkie talkie, and Victoria came zipping back.
"We are?"
"Of course"
Nicole stomped towards Gryffindor table, eying the trio.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god," Ron whispered frantically to Harry as he watched his love and her insane blond friend approach. "SHE'S COMING OVER HERE! How do I look?"
"Uh-" Harry began but Nicole tapped him on the shoulder and he looked round at her.
"Do you want to go to the ball with me?" She asked smiling sweetly.
"I er"
"Great! Meet you there at 8:00 then, alright?" she said happily. "Oh, and uh, Ron"
The redhead turned and looked at her, moments earlier his face bright his anticipation, watched the love of his life ask his best friend to the ball, his face drooped considerably, and he held back his sobbing tears but stopped as she addressed him.
"Y-y-ye-yes?" he stammered, eyes widening.
"Do you want to take Vicki?"
"HELLO!" Vicki cried leaping in front of her friend and waving madly at her fellow Gryffindor.
Ron's face scrunched up. "'Kay," he said glumly. "EXCELLENT!" Nicole breathed. "Well, uh, bye,". She scurried off to Slytherin table where Janelle informed her miserably that Terrance Higgs, the old Slytherin Quidditch Seeker had asked her and she reluctantly agreed. Nicole nodded, then gazed around. All was set. Breanne and Kaylyn were going to fight to the table with be crowned Queen while Draco and Cedric would struggle to be King. Sariah was with a quiet, pleasant boy Seamus, Todd would escort Lavender Brown of Gryffindor. Nicole didn't know what had come of Dominique, and she and Vicki were of course going with the two male members of the trio. She sighed a breath of relief. Only 2 days until the ball.
(Finally got this one up. Er, STAY TUNED! It's missing some question marks (?) I know. I'm too lazy to add them back,)
