Things were still awkward because of truth or dare night even two weeks after it had taken place. Ron and Harry wouldn't let Ginny and I sit next to each other, Ron had also burned all his Lindsay Lohan posters. Harry didn't socialize with the Gryffindor girls much anymore. And last but not least, Hermione refused to watch "When Harry met Sally" ever again. Ginny, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Parvati, Emily and I were the only ones who came out of the common room unscarred.

Potions class had been awkward as well, but only my collective group of friends knew why. Snape gave all the papers that needed to go to Ron to someone else to give to him, he never made direct eye contact with him and he hadn't picked on him since. Apparently Professor Snape was homophobic.

But that was all behind me because today I was going to Hogsmeade. At first, I was excited about the trip because I was finally getting to go on a real date with Seamus, but Dumbledore wasn't going to let me have it my way.

Because I was everyone's favorite, I was going with Fleur and Viktor to show our guest champions around Hogsmeade. So, I told Seamus we'd meet at Zonko's before I started giving them the grand tour.

I was in Dumbledore's office waiting on Fleur and Viktor. I was sitting in the swivel chair moving from side to side in it. Dumbledore sat across from me at his desk doing some paper work.

As bored as I was I decided to see how long it would take Dumbledore to reach is boiling point. I'd never seen him actually reach his boiling point, but after 13 years, I felt like I was starting to wear him down. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my tic-tac box and began to shake them like maraca's. Dumbledore looked up at me dancing in the chair with the tic-tac's. He then looked back down at his paperwork.

"I prefer altoids," he said. I stopped shaking the tic-tac's and thought for a moment.

*Could he know about... truth or dare night?*

"Excuse me?" I asked making sure I heard him correctly.

"Altoids. They're better than tic-tac's," he said again. Again I paused at this comment.

*No... It's just my imagination*

The door opened and Fleur and Viktor came in. Dumbledore stood up out his chair and motioned them over.

"You've finally arrived. Hannah, as I have told you previously will be showing you around Hogsmeade which is a small village outside of Hogwarts. It's like a smaller version of Diagon Alley if you'd like to see it that way," Dumbledore said.

I got out my chair and the three of us walked out of Dumbledore's office.

I walked silently outside and we began our walk to Hogsmeade.

Fleur let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Viktor asked.

"Did you want to come here?" she asked. Viktor shrugged. Fleur rolled her eyes and then said something in French which I was pretty sure was a swear word.

"Thought that was you I saw," someone said. We all looked over to see who was talking to me. It was Draco.

"Hey Draco," I said as he walked up to me.

"And vou are?" Fleur asked snootily.

"I'm Draco Malfoy," he replied boldly.

"Oh. . . I see. . . Another spoiled Breetish boy," she said. Draco rolled his eyes.

"So, what are you doing hanging out with two champions?" Draco asked.

"Dumbledore asked me to show them around Hogsmeade," I replied as Viktor started up a conversation with Fleur.

"I thought you were going to be hanging out with Seamus. I barely see you without your faces connected anymore," Draco said. I gave him a vicious glare. "I'm just being honest." I rolled my eyes.

"Why aren't you with Parkinson?" I asked.

"She was stalking me so I drugged her breakfast. She's probably still asleep in the great hall with her face in a plate of food," Draco laughed. I was about to say that it was cruel to do that, even to Pansy but then I realized:

1. It wasn't too cruel for Pansy
2. I'd drugged her before as well
3. I've done worse things to nicer people.

"Ewe! What is zat?" FLeur screeched pointing ahead. Viktor hung his head in pity. I looked up and saw that we had arrived in Hogsmeade. "Is zat where we are going?"

"Um. . . Yes," I replied. Fleur's face became pale and disgusted.

"I expected it to be. . . cleaner," Fleur said slowly.

I leaned over to Draco and whispered in his ear, "I'm taking her to the shrieking shack."

Draco chuckled.

When we reached the village, Fleur stood close to Viktor trying to avoid touching anything and anyone. The first place we went was to Zonko's to get Seamus.

"This is Zonko's joke shop. It's cool and it has cool stuff but it's nothing compared to what the Weasley twins make," I said.

"Hannah I'm flattered." I heard the familiar voice of the twins who had apparently been standing behind me.

"You guys totally kick Zonko's ass," I said encouragingly. "Have you seen Seamus around here?"

"Is that why we're here?" Draco asked. I nodded.

"Are those Bertie Botts?" Viktor interrupted.

"Probably," Draco said. Viktor walked over to the shelf of Bertie Bott's every flavor beans and picked up about five bags. He looked over and saw a rack of blood lollipops. His eyes lit up and he picked up a few of them. After that he was lost in a sea of Hogwarts students splurging on candy.

"That's the normal diet of a seeker, you know?" Draco asked.

"I know. I've seen Harry eat candy before. . . It's not nearly as bad as Ron." I shuttered. "But back to the task at hand, you seen Seamus you guys? He said he'd meet me here."

Fred looked over at George and then over at me.

"Well, love, he WAS here," George said.

"But then he left with Emily," Fred said, with a frown.

"He's cheating on you with your friend and roommate. That's pretty damn cocky," Draco said.

"He is not," I protested. Draco rolled his eyes. "He's not. We've only been going out for like three weeks. He wouldn't pull anything like that."

"Clearly you know nothing about zhe male species," Fleur said.

"And you do?" I asked. Fleur raised and eyebrow at me. "Okay maybe you do considering from that interview you said you were half veela and guys throw themselves at you, but what makes you say that I know nothing?"

"Because he is cheating on you, just not with zat Amy," Fleur said.

"Emily," I corrected. Fleur rolled her eyes.

Viktor walked over to me with the leg of a chocolate frog hanging out of his mouth and a bag of candy in his hand.

"You seem happy Krum," Malfoy said. Viktor smiled and slurped the leg into his mouth. He handed you the card he'd gotten out of it. It was Harry.

"Dude? They put my brother on a card?" I asked.

"You're on zem too. My sister has about five of zem," Fleur said.

"Hmm. . . I don't think I've ever seen any royalties from this stuff," I said. We walked out of Zonko's and across the street.

"I'm parched," Fleur said. It was really hot outside, even for September. There were no clouds and the sun shone full force. I could feel my skin burning.

"Let's go there," Viktor pointed to the Three Broomsticks.

"Dude that's like the biggest Gryffindor and Slytherin hangout ever," I said.

"I'm surprised there haven't been any riots," Draco said. I walked to the Three Broomsticks and sat down at a table.

Madame Rosemertta came and took our orders.

"Hey Hannah, Draco. I see you're here with two of the champions," she said. "Well what would you like?"

I looked at Fleur and Viktor who didn't know what to order.

"Just get us four butterbeers," Draco said. Rosemertta turned and walked away.

I heard the door open and out of curiosity I looked. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny walk in. Draco groaned as they walked over to our table.

"Hey guys. . . Draco," Hermione said. Draco rolled his eyes and Hermione did the same.

"I don't get it. Gryffindors don't like Slytherin's and vice-versa and yet, vou two get along perfectly," Fleur said.

"We're the odd one's out," I said.

Rosemertta came over and sat our drinks down on the table.

"Oh hi you four," she said to Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny. "You want the same?" They nodded. "I'll be right back." She walked away. Ron stared as she did.

"You disgust me Ron," Ginny said.

"Why?" he asked sounding appalled.

"If you going to stare, stare at someone who looks good," Ginny said.

"I am," Ron protested. Ginny shook her head.

Rosemertta came over and sat their drinks down on the table and walked away.

I picked up my drink and took a sip and the other sat down with us. The seating arrangements were really scattered. Ron wouldn't sit near Harry, Malfoy or Ginny. Harry refused to sit next to Ron and Draco. Ginny refused to sit next to Fleur and Draco, as did Hermione so everyone was crowded around me and Viktor.

*I feel so loved*
-Even though it's just because my friends don't like each other-
-Hoe. I said I feel loved-

When we finished our drinks, Fleur elected to go off on her own, as did Krum, insisting they'd find their way back on their own.

I thought hey just didn't want to hang out with a bunch of fourth years.

We sat in the pub for about an hour when Padma and Parvati burst in.

"Hannah! We need to talk right now," Padma said.

I walked over to Parvati and Padma and they pulled me outside.

"What's up?" I asked.

"There's no easy way to tell you this," they said together. "We saw Emily coming on to Seamus."

There were two things I couldn't believe about what they had just said:

1. They were doing the freaky twin thing where they talk in unison
2. Emily was a man thieving heifer.

"But that's not all," Padma said.

"You see, the thing of it is that Seamus didn't look too concerned of what you might think about it," Parvati continued.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"They were snogging Hannah," the girls said together. I couldn't help but start to laugh.

"Hannah this is serious," the twins said again.

"Well maybe I'd be taking you more seriously if you'd stop doing the freaky twin thing," I said. "Are you sure it was Emily and Seamus?"

"Well we're definitely sure it was Seamus, for sure," Parvati said.

"But we just know the girl he was snogging was some little blonde thing," Padma said.

"And Fred and George last saw the two of them together," I said.

"Hannah, I'm sorry," Parvati said.

"Don't be," I said. "You know who's going to be sorry? Them."
