we all had to wake up early cause we had quiet study and a potion theory assessment in the great hall. so we sat down at our tables with our equipment parchment, ink, quills e.t.c. and we had to be quiet because snape was pondering around. anyway harry sat next to my let, ron to my right and hermione otherside of ron. we were talking about the yule ball which is tomorrow night "we have no dates and the ball is tomorrow night" ron moaned, just then the twins threw a note to him which read 'get a move on if you want a date' then ron whispered "who you going with then" i didnt see what happened cause i was doing my work. ron tried to ask hermione but snape pushed our heads down as to say do your work even me though i was doing my work. i had just finished my assessment when i turned to the lads "right guys ive done ill meet you back in the common no scratch that ill be at the lake" "yea ok" they said in unison. so i handed in my assessment then walked to the lake but when i went passed ron he was telling harry how im not going with Cedric.

i got to the lake and it was just so peaceful, its was only me there "nice to be along for once" i said aloud. i sat on a rock and started to manipulate rocks and pebbels and skimming the across the water with my powers . i have no idea what time it was but the sun started to set and it was beautiful witht he colours merging together. i got so caught up in the sunset i hadnt realized that harry was next to me "it's beautiful just like you" i turned my head to harry "thankyou" "so i wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the ball with me" "sure why not it's not like im going with cedric" "great i cant believe him" "me neither but lets not dwell" so we just sat there watching the beauty of the setting sun. we both started to head back after a while hand in hnd but just as innocent friends "this doesnt mean anything we're just friends holding hands" i said firmly "yea sure i agree" harry said a bit disappointed.

we got to the common room and sat dont down infront of the fire and cuddle upto each other "so why was the reason cedric didnt ask you" "oh he wanted to go with his 'best' friend cho" i said putting air quotations around best "buts hes with you" "yea i didnt get that but im ok with it" so we sat in silence watching the fire. it was getting late so i sat up and faced harry "well im going to get some beauty sleep for tomorrow" i said hugging him but when i pulled back our lips somehow locked together and we were making out. we finally broke apart and i just got up said goodnight then went to bed. i woke up the next morning to hermione sitting on my bed "what you smiling at" "you now spill it" "spill what" "about last night" "what about last night" "i saw you and harry" "oh that" "so spill" "theres nothing to say, i sat at the lake watching the sunset, he asked me to the ball i said why not, walked back hand in hand as friends, sat in front of the fire cuddled up to each other cause i were cold" "and the rest" "i noticed it was getting late so i hugged him good night and i dont know what happened but our lips just locked together like two jigsaw pieces fitting together" "aww thats so cute" "alright alright enough of this lets get organised for tonight" so thats what we did, we were all talking well me, hermione and ginny discussing about what we will be wearing, how we will be having our hair and what make up we will be applying. by the time we finished talking it was time to get ready with the ball being at 7:00 and its 6:00 now. i conjoured up my dress using my powers, its gold with zebra print lining and waist line belt. i did my make up to match my dress . /imgres and i did my hair like . /imgres. i was doing my touches up when i noticed that it was just me left to go down to the great hall. i got to the op of the stairs outside the great hall.

i started to walk down the stairs when i heard ron's last minute date say "is that athena harper" so they all looked up at me wide eyed and mouths open. i noticed at the opening of the great hall was cedriic he looked ashamed that he wasnt with me for the ball. i finally reached the gang still wide eyed and mouths open, so i decided to stick my finger in each of the mouths and said "yawn rape" but they still had their mouths open "guys seriously you going to atract flies" so they shut their mouths "oh my god you look fantastic athena" ginny said "thank you" then professor mcgonagall came over "places places champions its tradition for you to start the dance" so everyone went inside and the champions lined up out side the main doors. we all got in line with our partners so its was fleur and her partner, krum and hermione, cedric and cho then finally me and harry. finally the doors began to open and it was our queue to walk through and down the isle to the dance floor, as we were walking all in sink all i heard were whispers about me and hermione. we took our places on the dance floor then the music started and the champions lead the dance, me and harry couldnt take our eyes off each other. after a few minutes the professors and the other students began to dance the traditional dance.

as the night progressed a rock back were rocking out the room and everyone was up and dancing well except me harry and ron "god im worn out" i said with a sigh "me too" harry responded tiredly, just the hermione came over to us "viktos gone to get us drinks do you care to jion us" "no we do not want to join you and viktor" ron agressively said "RON" i said suprised at how he just reacted "whats got you knickers in a twist" hermione said annoyed. i had know idea what happened but a shouting fight between them just broke out in the great hall, i went after them but someone held me back i turned and saw cedric "athena can i talk to you" "yea sure" we walked out the great hall to a quite part of the castle. we sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard "whats wrong cedric" i asked worried "i really regret not asking you to the ball and i realised how jealous i became when i saw you with harry" "so where do this leave us then" "i was hoping you could forgive me and we could go back to where we were" "what all distant and non talking and not seeing eachother" i said with a smug chuckle "no before all this happened with the tournament" "ok" so we kissed for a few minutes then it decided to snow it was really romantic. i was debaiting whether or not to tell cedric about me and harry kissing on a number of different occasions, but if this relationship doesnt get back on track i will have to.

me and cedric headed back to the ball where the band were playing a slow song so we decided to dance. we danced for a couple of slow songs, then headed out of the great hall "cedric im glad we're getting back on track" "me to" he replied holding my hand "i'll guess i should get to bed its late" "i'll walk you to the common room" "thanks" so he walked me to my common room amd we talked all the way. when i got there we kissed and he walked off, i said the password and walked up to the common room and t was there i fell asleep on the sofa opposite the fire. i began to have on of my dreams

dream
i was in the grave yard again and there were more detail, like a bald man wearing a black ragged cloak, i couldnt see his face but my scar started to burn. i also noticed that lucious malfoy were there too. harry was being held up by the grim reaper statue bleeding from his arm but the dream began to fade away.
