The night of the Yule Ball finally arrived.

"So are you going with anyone?" Adrienne squeaked.

"Yeah, Jason a fellow Chaser" I replied.

"He's cute. What about you Rachel?" Adrienne asked.

"I'm going with Gregory Cuffing, a Hufflepuff" Rachel replied.

"I personally am going with Lukas" Adrienne said. "I'm off to go get ready."

"Lukas?" Rachel whispered.

"Yeah, I asked a few weeks ago. I figured he hadn't asked anyone, and he wouldn't say no" Adrienne shrugged and walked back up the dormitories.

I had always thought Rachel and Lukas would make a good couple, especially after they both became Ravenclaw Prefects.

I remembered Fred telling me everyone in his family except he, George and Ginny because she was too young had been Prefects. Why do I keep thinking about Fred?! I always liked him, but now I can't get him out of my head. What's going on?!

Adrienne was bounding over to the Great Hall so excited she left Lukas, Rachel and me in the dust. She then paused and waited for Lukas before they quickly went in together. Rachel walked away shyly and I was left standing there. I spotted a shock of flaming red hair and quickly turned to see Jason standing there smiling.

"You look amazing" he said and offered me his arm.

I took it and we walked in together. After a delicious dinner of shepherd's pie and black forest cake, the dancing began. I sat there nervously. What if Jason asked me to dance? I hated dancing anyways, but how could I survive if I knew not only was I not dancing with Fred, but also he wasn't dancing with me?

The second song started up and Jason smiled at me. Oh no.

"May I have this dance?" he asked extending his hand.

I took a deep breath. "I don't like dancing."

"We don't have to.... We could take a walk."

I agreed since I figured it would be a good distraction. Jason asked me some questions, mostly about my friends, family and Quidditch. I answered them and asked him questions too, but I only half listening. My mind was focused on Fred.

"We're back" said Jason cheerfully.

"I'm going to the bathroom" I said quickly, not wanting to face Fred yet.

"Hey Lydia" Rachel said as I came into the bathroom.

"Oh hey" I replied.

"What's wrong?"

"I just can't stop thinking about Fred. In First Year Fred promised he would take me to any dance remember? I just feel so depressed" I said holding back tears.

"I know how you feel. I like Lukas, but he's with Adrienne."

I knew it! I told you they make a good couple. "Adrienne doesn't like him, and he doesn't like her. Adrienne just wanted a date, and Lukas couldn't say no."

"You really think so?"

I nodded. "He probably likes you."

"Thanks!" Rachel hugged me.

I smiled weakly.

"You must really like Fred" Rachel noted. "You're all depressed because you're not with him."

"Yeah" I said. I didn't feel like going back to the ball. I walked in looking for Jason. I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into someone.

"Careful" the guy said steadying me.

I looked up to see Fred. I felt my face grow hot and tears threatened to overflow. "Thanks" I mumbled quickly before turning to see Jason. "I'm going to bead" I said quickly.

"I'll-" Jason began.

I cut him off. "No need to walk me to the Common Room, I'm fine" I said before out of the room. Just as I reached the corridor I burst into tears.
