I...

I...

I asked her to the dance...

I asked her to the dance! And she said yes! I can't believe it! She actually said yes! She's going to the dance! With me!

O-oh. Oh no.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE!

So I'm really excited right now.

You need dancing lessons and you didn't come straight to me?

Billy. I'm hurt.

[intomyownhands]

I didn't know you knew how to dance.

[donutsandestiny]

Didn't know I...

Billy.

You need to pay better attention.

Regardless!

Who did you ask?

[IT BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN ROXANNE, NOT THAT HE'LL BE ADMITTING TO THAT CRUSH.]

Her name is Rapunzel. She's in our Charms class. She's really nice.

[donutsandestiny]

The one with the ridiculous amount of hair?

Nice, Billy?

filtered;

[intomyownhands]

Hey, she is nice. She's the nicest person I've ever met.

She even came to visit me in the hospital wing, which is more than I can say for you, roomie.

I was working on things.

[Inkblots.]

I was also blue with a grotesquely large head at the time. Not exactly eager to be seen.

I was working on things too. Which is why I ended up in the hospital wing.

I know for a fact that you were back to normal right before I left for the infirmary.

[donutsandestiny]

I'm so sorry I didn't visit, dear.

Next time I will.

With flowers.

[Billy just looks up from his journal, gives Melvin a look and a rude gesture, and then looks back down to his journal.]

Sarcasm! How original.

So how goes your prospects of a date to the dance?

filtered;

[donutsandestiny]

[Right back at you, roomie.]

You underestimate it.

Oh, please! Why would I take one of our soft-headed peers to the dance?

filtered;

[intomyownhands]

Because you fancy her, is why. Like that one Gryffindor you make eyes at in Potions all the time when she's not looking.

[In their dorm, there's definitely a light growl from Melvin -- Roxanne is not soft-headed.]

Please!

To insinuate that I am interested in Miss Ritchi as more than a rival is ridiculous!

[intomyownhands]

[Billy's smirk is a smug one - revenge is appropriately gotten. Rapunzel is not soft-headed either. Soft-hearted, he will give you, however.]

Your quill says no, but the way you almost blew the two of us up last week because you weren't paying attention says 'aww yes.'

[donutsandestiny]

Billy, could you be anymore obnoxious?

filtered;

[intomyownhands]

I can try.

So are you going to ask your ~~Rival~~ Miss Ritchi to the dance?
