[LEXI'S POV]
''But why?'' He asked.
''I already told you, Neville. I'm sorry, you're a really sweet guy but I just can't.'' I said and it looked like if he was about to cry. I quickly made up an excuse and rushed to my dormitory.
I sighed as I layed down on the bed. This day had been tough, even though it's only lunch time. Wherever I went, there were guys who asked me to be their date at the Yule Ball. Just in a few hours over twenty boys had asked me. I've decided that I'll go alone. I don't understand what they all see in me. Even some Gryffindors had asked me out. But maybe that's not a big surprise, I was a Gryffindor in the beginning after all.

''Fred, calm down!'' I said and put a hand on his shoulder.
''How am I supposed to calm down when every boy in the school is all over Lexi? How?'' He yells at me.
''She turned every one of them down, so it's not like you need to worry or anything. It seems like she decided to go alone to the Yule Ball.''
''Yeah, but that doesn't mean that she'll say no to every boy who haven't asked her yet, what if she says yes?''
''Well, then you'll have to deal with it. It's her choice after all, not ours.''
''But what if they take advantage of her, you know how some of the boys in the school are, what if they-'' he started, but he got cut off by another voice.
''Excuse me, you must be the Weasley twins?'' A boy in our age asks us and we nod. I think he's new here, I haven't seen him before. But still, he seems familiar..
''I heard a lot about you. My name's William. You're Lexi's friends, am I right?''

I walked over to the queue and put the dress, shoes and accessories on the table between me and the cashier. I took out the money from my wallet and handed them over to her, but she didn't take them, she just stared at me.
''Is something wrong?'' I asked, but she didn't answer. I made a pretend cough, and she came back to reality.
''Uh n-no, of course not.'' She stuttered and took the money. Then she put the stuff in a bag and gave it to me.
''Thank you.'' I said and walked out of the shop.
She lied. She knows who I am, and I dare say that she probably really wanted to put me in azkaban or something. I sighed and went back to Hogwarts.
[GEORGE'S POV]
''Do you think he's lying? Do you think that he may just want to take advantage of Lexi like almost everyone else does? Do you think that maybe we should tell Dumbledore? Or should we pull our worst prank on him so that he leaves and never comes back? Or should we-'' Fred whispered to me so that nobody would hear except me, but I cut him off.
''Don't be so paranoid Fred! Everyone isn't evil, he's an old friend of her. I didn't even have the thought that he might do something bad to her. Just relax, for gods sake.''

I shuddered when I went inside. It was so cold outside. There's even some snow! I hate snow, I hate the winter, I hate the cold. The only thing I like about the winter is Christmas, which is soon. The Yule Ball will be on Christmas Eve, and that's next week.
I started to walk towards the common room, but someone said my name from behind. I turned around to see a very cute boy standing in front me. I don't think I have seen him before... How does he know my name?
''Ahh, Lexi, it's been such a long time since we met last time. It's good to see you!'' He said and went in for a hug, but I stopped him.
''Not to be rude or anything, but who are you?''
''Oh, I almost forgot. You had a memory loss recently, right?'' He asked and I nodded looking at him in a weird way.
''Well then, let's start over. Hello, my name's William and I'm an old friend of yours.'' He said and shook my hand. ''May I get a hug now?''
''Uh.. Yeah, sure, I guess.'' I said and he immediately hugged me tight. A little too tight. He noticed that I was uncomfortable and let go of me.
''Oh, sorry, it's just that I've missed you a lot.'' He said and smiled.
Oh gosh. That smile. ''No heart, don't melt.'' I thought. I think he noticed how I stared at him.
''This may come a little too fast, but would you like to go to the ball with me?'' He asked.
''Yes, of course.'' I said and he smiled even bigger. Oh no. Don't tell me I've fallen in love again.
