Falling for Percy

Yule Ball

"Oh... Where's Hermione?" Grace asked.

Hermione walked down the stairs, she was wearing a stunning purple dress.

"Hermione," Grace smiled. She walked to Hermione and greeted her with a hug.

"You look so amazing!" Hermione said.

"You do as well," Grace said. "Who are you going with?"

"Um..." Hermione started. She gestured to a guy near her.

He put his arm out, she smiled at Grace and walked to him.

"Grace..." Percy hissed. He was waiting to enter into the ballroom. Grace darted over to him, grabbing his arm.

"... and welcoming our Yule Ball, Mr Crouch's personal assistant, Percy Weasley..."

"Loser," Fred Weasley coughed. Percy glared daggers at Fred.

"...And his fiancé, Grace Potter. Both graduates of last year," Dumbledore said.

Grace and Percy walked along the center. Percy with a very serious expression, and Grace trying to contain her smiles.

"She's so beautiful."

"He's so hot."

"That's Harry Potter's sister."

"That's Fred and George's brother."

"Wow we're like famous," Grace smiled, whispering to Percy.

"Shhh," Percy shushed.

All of the couples began to dance. Fred, George, Ron and Percy found Ginny and cornered Neville.

"That's our baby sister, you know that?" Fred asked.

"If you try anything..." George said.

"You are gone," Ron said.

"Do you understand, Neville?" Percy asked.

"Hey, you all have red hair!" He responded, walking to dance with Ginny.

"I don't think we have anything to worry about..." Ron said.

They all nodded.

"Would you care to dance?" Cedric Diggory asked.

Grace nodded, taking his hand, "Oh, you're Cedric!"

He nodded, "... and you're Grace."

She smiled, they began to dance. Percy stood, crossing his arms, next to Ron.

"If you hate it so much, why don't you step in?" Ron asked.

"Maybe I will!" Percy said, walking onto the dance floor.

"Hi Percy," Grace laughed.

"Do you mind if I-" Percy started.

"When the song's over," Cedric smiled.

Percy frowned, "Sure."

When Percy returned, Harry's date was gone. He only wanted to go to the ball with Cho. Ron's date got up and left as soon as Percy returned.
