we all sat in the great hall having breakfast and talking "Athena you look as though you haven't slept tin weeks" Hermione said caringly "yea i know you wouldn't think i got a load of make up on" "did you not get any sleep last night" fed and George said cuddling me "no my dreams came back, the ones in the grave yard" "mine have as well" harry added "what about your scar" Ron said "yea that's been burning as well" "same here" harry added "i think something is going down on the third task" i said scared. so we carried on talking, but that's when professor Mcgonagall called all the gryffindor students to the room of requirement, so all of our table got up and headed to the room. when we got there the boys and girls split up to sit at the opposite sides of the room. i sat in between of Ginny and Hermione and opposite harry, Ron and the twins - they were standing behind Ron and harry who are sitting.
once everyone was settled and quite Mcgonagall decided to speak, whilst Mr. filch sorted out the record player "the yule ball has been a tradition of the Tri wizard tournament since it's inception, on Christmas eve night we and our guests gather in the great hall of a well mannered revolaty... as representatives of the whole school i expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward and i mean this literally because the yule ball is ... first and foremost a dance..." she stopped talking for a second and everyone in the room was chatting, the girls were excited but the boys were moaning (i don't blame them I'm not one for dances) "silence" the professor began again "the house of godrick gryffindor is demanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly ten centuries, i will not have you in the course of a single evening dis-rupture that name by behaving like babbling, bumbling, band of baboons..." she paused for a second whilst i looked over at the twins in which they were whispering something, knowing them they're going to try and say that baboon thing 5x faster, as i was watching them professor mcgonagall started to talk again "to dance is to let the body breeze... inside every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forth into flight" she paused again and i noticed Ron whisper something to harry, dean and Seamus and they laughed, but professor mcgonagall caught their attention "inside every boy a lordly lion prepares to pounce... Mr weasley" she said to Ron "yes" he said intimidated "will you join me please" all the lads were like 'way, hahaha, get in there' "now place your right hand around my waist" she asked Ron "where" he replied scared "my waist" there were wolf whistles everywhere and Ron was about to give them the finger but mcgonagall stopped him "you bend your... Mr filch would you please" she helped Ron and indicated to filch to put on the music. the music started to which professor mcgonagall and Ron started to dance "123...123...123 everybody come together... boys on your feet" all the girls shot up except for me and the boys sat still. roughly two minutes went by before Neville got up, not long after that Harry got up and the girls were excited and hoping he would go to them, but alas that failed because he came to me "can i have this dance" i looked up and saw the love in his eyes in which i do not see in Cedric's anymore "yea sure" so i got up and we got into the position and started to dance, eventually everyone was up and dancing.
as everyone was dancing professor mcgonagall was going round adjusting the partners to the correct positions. when she got to me and harry she just smiled then resumed to correcting the others. when she was satisfied with everyone she let us go. the gang got together and walked t the great hall for lunch "so who's going with who to the ball" George asked "well no doubt Athena's going with Cedric" Fred replied. we sat down at our table and grabbed some, as we all suspected Ron piled his plate with food "god Ron where do you put it all man" i asked"i just like the food and I'm really hungry" i just made out what he had said due to his mouth being full. Hermione was reading the daily profit "shes done it again" she complained "who's done what again" Ginny asked "that reporter Rita skeeter... look at this... the durmstrang hottie and hogwarts geek seem pretty close" she spat "that's just not it's none of her business and yet she wriggles her way through" i said taking a sip of my butter-bear "i guess being thrown out a tent didn't get through to her " harry laughed "i guess so... boys we have a prank to set up" i gestured to the twins "finally" Fred and George said in unison. after a few minutes they finished eating and got up, grabbed me and ran out the great hall with me shouting "whoa whoa whoa what you doing" "we're going to plan that prank" "i didn't mean now" "oh well" so they dragged me all the way to the common room.
