While people were looking for dates Ron and Harry were talking to each other.
"Why do they all have to travel in, packs? I mean how are supposed to ask one? And not in me and uncle Moony's pack." Harry said.
While they were walking people were looking at Harry.
"Bloody hell Moony, you slayed dragons. If you can't get a date who can?" he asked.
"Think I'd rather take a dragon right now." he said.
Later that day they were doing their homework.
"This is mad. Neither of us has a date to the ball." Ron said.
Then he was sent something and caught it.
'Get a move on or all the good ones will be gone.'
He turned around.
"Who are you going with then?"
Fred put a ball of paper and threw it at someone. She looked at him.
'You, go to the ball with me?' he mouthed.
"Oh, yeah." she whispered.
He turned around and winked at him. Then Ron turned around and looked at Hermione.
"Uh Hermione, you're a girl."
"When I last spotted." she said.
"You wanna dance-"
Harry kept tapping his shoulder. Then they were both hit by a notebook by Snape.
"I can understand a boy not going but a girl, that's just sad."
Tracey glared at him.
"I won't be going alone because believe it or not someone already asked me." Hermione said.
She went and gave Snape her notes and then picked up her other things.
"And I said yes!"
Then Ron looked over at Harry and Tracey.
"How about this, when we all get to the common room we both have partners. Agreed?"
Snape pulled up his sleeves a bit.
"Agreed."
Then they were hit by Snape.
Later that afternoon Harry was on his way back to school after taking a quick walk when he bumped into Cho.
"Cho!" he said.
"Harry." she said and pushed him to the other side while they tried to switch places.
"Watch your step on the stairs, it's a bit icy on the top."
"OK, thanks."
Then he turned around.
"Cho?"
"Yes?" she said.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?" he said while an owl cheeped.
"Sorry, I didn't hear that?" she said.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?"
"Oh, um Harry I'm sorry but I've already been asked to and well I said I'd go with them." she said frowning.
"Oh, ok, no problem."
He started to walk away.
"Harry!"
He turned around.
"I really am, sorry."
He nodded and then split up.
When it was nighttime Hermione, Tracey and Harry were in the common room when they heard something.
"It's ok Ron, it doesn't matter." Ginny said.
"What happened to you?" Harry asked.
"He just asked Fleur Declare out." she said.
"What?!" Tracey and Hermione said together.
"What'd she say?" Harry asked.
"No of course!" Hermione said.
He shook his head.
"She said yes!" Tracey said covering her mouth.
"Don't be silly. All I did was see her walking by. And now I like it when she walks. Then it sorta slipped out." he said.
"Actually, he sorta screamed at her. It was a bit frightening." Ginny said.
"What happened then?" Harry asked.
"What else? I ran for it." he said.
"Hi Harry." the Pati twins said together.
Then he looked at Ron then them back.
"Hey!"
A week after asking them to the ball Harry, Ron, Hermione and Tracey were at the Shrieking Shack.
They were waiting for him to transform into a werewolf. Five minutes later he was a werewolf.
Tracey turned into Paddy, Ron turned into Howler and Hermione turned into Speedy. Padfoot was there again to check and they were doing fine.
'Since Ron and Hermione came back it must be giving him more control of himself.' he thought.
While they kept Moony busy Padfoot was thrilled that they could do it.
When they were done Tracey went to check on him and transfer some of her energy like the last few times.
"It was easier to keep control of myself with you guys back." Harry said.
That made Ron and Hermione feel guilty.
"Let's get you fixed up with Madam Pomfrey." Hermione said.
So they headed to the hospital wing.
