"Do I want to?" he asked cautiously. Most people only liked him right now because he was the school champion. At least, that's what he believed.

"As in like like?"
"Yes, you should ask her to the Yule Ball."
"I couldn't."
"You can! Seriously, Cedric, she'll say 'yes'. I promise." Cedric sighed. She was out of his league.
"I..."
"She already bought a dress."
"Really?"
"Yes. She was practicing in the charms classroom a few minutes ago. Go, before someone else beats you to it." Cedric nodded rising and taking a few steps. He ran into Cho in the hallway.
"Cho?"
"Yes?"
"Um, I wanted, I mean, I was wondering if you were going to the Yule Ball?"
"I was thinking about it, you?"
"I'm a champion, so it's required. Anyway, if you don't already have a date..."
"I don't," Cho replied.
"Would you like to go with me?" Cho smiled.
"I'd love to Cedric."
"Perfect!" Cedric said rushing off before the tiny burst of courage faded.
