Not As It Seems
A strange energy had seemed to fill him upon making his decision before he had fallen asleep the night previous. It was a strange combination between determination and fear that prompted him to keep going until he saw the smart brown-haired girl. She was in the library surrounded by about a dozen different books again, he should have guessed. It was not particularly strange location for her to be there from what he had heard of Hermione Granger.
Hermione Granger, a muggleborn witch, a Gryffindor with so many Ravenclaw qualities many people were shocked that she had not been Sorted into Ravenclaw, or so he had heard.
Oh he knew of the irony of the entire situation with his school not accepting muggleborns but he could not help it. It was some kind of mixture between her studious nature and the determination that shone in her eyes as she faced adversary. He did not know where this attraction would lead, which road he would walk after asking Hermione to the Yule Ball as he intended to.
He was sure she had noticed him watching her. When their eyes had locked before the Goblet of Fire, he had known that there was no stopping this attraction that he felt.
Somehow he was nervous as he walked closer to the Gryffindor. He had never done something like this before, sure there had been girls that had asked him before but he had never felt the need to ask someone else before.
The slightly questioning glance of the Gryffindor as she glanced up upon noticing the shadow on the book she was currently poring over paused him for a moment before he soldiered on.
"WouldyoulliketogototheYuleBallwithme?" he blurted out quickly before realizing that his words were probably unintelligible so he took a deep breath and repeated himself slowly. He held his breath as she tilted her head to a side as she considered him, blushing slightly.
He could almost see the thoughts that raced through the Gryffindor's head, thinking of every consequence of her answer before she slowly and hesitantly nodded.
He felt like he could start flying without his firebolt at that point.
