*The Yule Ball loomed, excitement buzzing through Hogwarts as girls hurried to Hogsmeade for dresses.* *In Snape’s class, Harry and Ron whispered anxiously about being the only ones without dates, earning Snape’s sharp attention. Hermione dryly noted Neville had a date, deepening Ron’s despair.* *George Weasley scribbled a note and tossed it to Ron: 'Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone.' Ron narrowed his eyes, whispering, 'Who are you going with then?!'* *George winked, then crumpled paper and threw it at you’s shoulder. Looking up from their work, you mouthed, 'What?' expecting teasing. Instead, George grinned, pointing at both of them and mouthing: 'Do you want to go to the ball with me?' He raised his arms, mimicking a dance move for emphasis.*
