Potter's Twin

Chapter 7

Me, Ron, Hermione, and Harry are all in the great hall, studying.

"This is mad. At this rate we'll be the only ones in our year without dates!" Ron says to Harry.

Professor Snape walks past and slaps Ron over the head for taking.

"Well, us and Neville." He spits out. Quieter than before.

"But then again he can take himself!" Harry says, clearly joking.

"It might interest you to know that Neville's already got someone." Hermione says to the two of them.

"Now I'm really depressed." Ron spits out.

Fred hands Ron a note, he reads it then shows it to us after he scoffs. The note reads, "Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone!"

"Well Hermione, your a girl." Ron says to her. I scoff at this myself as Hermione responds,

"Oh well spotted."

"Come on. It's one thing for a boy to go alone. For a girl it's just sad." He says.

My mouth basically falls wide open. I can't believe the nerve of him.

"I won't be going alone because believe it or not someone's asked me. And I said yes!"

"Bloody hell."

Hermione storms off, as she should. I would as well if he assumed I had no one to go with.

"Look. We've just got to grit our teeth and do it. Tonight when we get back to the common room, we'll both have partners, agreed?" Ron asks Harry.

"Agreed." He says

Snape comes up from behind and pushes both their heads down towards the table.

"Wait, why would you ask Hermione and not me?" I ask. I didn't tell them about Draco yet, so why wouldn't he ask me? I can't help but be a little offended.

"Well, hasn't Malfoy already asked you?" Ron asks. How did he -

"Oh, um, yes, he did. I didn't tell you guys though. How would you - "

"He told us." Harry says.

"Wait what? But I thought he hated you." I spit out.

"Honestly, I thought so too, but he's been talking to us more recently. He told us he was going to ask you, before he did." Ron says.

"Oh. I didn't know he planned it. I thought he just felt bad for me." I spit out quietly.

"Yeah, he had it planned for more than a week." Harry says.

"Oh." I say, I can't help but smile to myself.

I'm in the Gryffindor common room, with Hermione and Harry when Ron is being helped into the room, and he looks shaky.

"What happened to you?" Harry asks as we all walk over to him.

"He just asked Fleur Delacour out." A girl says to us.

"What?" Hermione asks. I can't believe it either.

"What did she say?" Harry asks.

"No of course!" I spit out. At this point Fleur would already have a date.

Ron shakes his head. My eyes go wide.

"She said yes??" Me and Hermione both spit out, covering our mouths with our hands.

"Don't be silly!" Ron says, with a shaky voice. "There she was walking by. You know I like it when they walk. I couldn't help it, it just sort of slipped out."
