Everybody was still talking about the first task and how Victor won. Until they announced that the Yule Ball would be held on Christmas day. The girls were already talking about what they were wearing even though they still had three weeks. Victor Krum's fans were all trying to draw his attention to them, as the champions and their partners open the ball. But, to the disappointment of the fans, Victor didn't seem that interested.
Harry generally wasn't that bothered about the ball. The only highlight the ball showed for him was that the Weird Sisters would be playing there. He had never been the sort to wear dress robes and dance. The only problem was that to get into the ball, you needed a date. And since his resorting, Harry's popularity had plummeted.
There was no way Harry would ask any of the Slytherin girls to the ball- they all looked like hags and acted like he was one. Most of the Gryffindoor girls hated him- as if it was his fault that he got resorted. And the ones that didn't; they were just ignoring him. The Hufflepuff girls would all be trying to get Cedric to take them. That only left Ravenclaw. Harry put his spoon of porridge down. He knew exactly who to ask. No-one else would want to go with her. In fact, Harry wasn't quite sure if he wanted to- there was a high probability that she would turn up wearing a ridiculous hat and then claim it would protect her from Wrackspurts. He would still ask her. After all, you can't go to the Yule Ball every day.
I've got a certain person in mind- I hope I gave enough hints so that you can guess
