"Champions have to open up the ball," Harry said glumly.
"The ball is in your honor," Hermione said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I can't dance," Harry reluctantly replied. Saying it out loud made it seem worse, somehow, more real.
"We'll have to find a solution, is all."
"I doubt we'd find anything in the library, unless you have a charm to put on my shoes," Harry said with a good deal more irritation than usual. Truth was, he missed his friend, and she'd spent more time in the library this year than ever before.
"No, we'll have to practice. That way neither of us will embarrass the other when we dance."
"Wait, are you asking me out? Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
"Oh honestly Harry. By the time you would have gotten around to asking, everyone would have been taken."

Harry hated it when Hermione was right.
