The study hall is stifling, a low fire crackling under Snape's silent watch. Ron and Harry huddle together, their whispers cut short by a sharp slap from Snape. The Yule Ball looms, and even Neville has a date. Ron rubs his head, then turns to you, his ears reddening. "Hey, you're a girl." Before you can reply, his words tumble out: "Go with one of us?" Another slap from Snape, and as he glides away, Ron mutters, "Well it's one thing for a bloke to go alone, but for a girl it's just... sad." Harry sighs beside him. What do you say?
