It was briskly cold for the first day of October. Lucky for the men of the castle, they stayed huddled up inside for quite some time, soaking in the last of the Hermione's splendor before finally turning the page on the bookworm and revealing...
"Luna!" Dean Thomas whistled lowly. Harry raised an eyebrow as Luna's towel began to slip, revealing a pale and slender back, then...
The boys groaned internally as the scene started to replay itself.
"Well, I can honestly say that I never thought that there was more to Luna than the Nargles, but I've never seen a Nargle shaped like that." the other four boys stared at him. "What?"
"Dean, you've never seen a Nargle. They don't exist." Harry said slowly.
"Yeah, well, I bet you ten galleons that they don't look like that." Dean said resolutely, pointing at the calendar. As Luna's towel dropped again, the boys had to agree.
One and a half months later, Katie was fed up with the lack of focus in her practices. She wasn't even the captain! And as if to heighten her ire, other houses were watching the practices. Wood would've never stood for this. Finally, she broke.
"Yes, I am fully clothed under this!" She screamed at the boys, ripping off her robe as proof. Ginny chuckled slightly at her.
Thankfully, the most of the boys seemed to forget about her as soon as December came up.
Instead, they focused their attention on Astoria, who had, among others, managed to do what Pansy failed at; catching Draco Malfoy's attention.
"Hey, Astoria, wanna go to Hogsmead with me?" He sidled up next to her on the couch, a good week before the Hogsmead trip.
"That depends." Astoria answered back, her heart nearly beating out of her chest, although her voice didn't betray her nerves.
"On what?" Draco's voice sounded a little crushed.
"Where you want to take me." Astoria marked her page and set her book down.
"What?" Now he sounded confused. Astoria giggled a bit on the inside at his face... it was so adorably confused.
"Because, I swear to Merlin, if you try and force me into the pink monstrosity that is Madam Puddifoot's, I will hex your hair off." Astoria grinned at him, her eyes sparkling.
"That sounds good." He sounded so relieved. Astoria winked at him and left for her dorm room. When she was fully sure that nobody could hear her, she let out a happy scream and danced around her room, giggling when her roommates came in and stared.
"I'm going on a date with Draco!" She yelled, throwing her hands up in celebration.
