I couldn't sleep, how was I going to ask Kira to the ball? I had gone for a walk to the astronomy tower, yet was shocked to see I wasn't the only one. A girl with long, flowing black hair, fair skin and amazing blue eyes.
"Oh hi!" She smiled seeing me "You William Granger, right? From the Gryffindor team?"
"Yeah" I said smiling at her. "Who are you?"
"Oh sorry" She said "I'm Charlotte Corner, my brother, Niel is going with your friend Stephanie to the ball" I shook her hand.
"Yeah...so do you have a date, yet?" I asked. She laughed at me.
"I wish, I'm a third year, I'm not allowed to go" She rolled her eyes "it's not really fair...do you have a date?"
"Not yet" I sighed "But...there is this one girl I'm going to ask. She's my friend and-" I was cut off.
"ohhh" She smiled "And you want to me more then friends?"
"Yeah" I said nervously.
"But won't that ruin your friendship" She asked.
"What?" I thought "I...but she is already...I mean...I don't know..."
"uh huh...well, if you want to ruin your frealtionship with this girl because you don't have date, that's up to you" She smiled. I stepped back, I never relised what would have happened if Kira said 'no'. My stomach dropped.
I couldn't risk it. I couldn't.
"Wait!" I called "Will you go to the ball with me?" She looked as if she had been expecting it, and nodded her head.
