Date: 3 October 1999
Characters: Anthony Goldstein, Terry Boot
Location: Diagon Alley
Status: Public
Summary: Anthony sees a notice for the upcoming ball and has a moment of crisis.
Completion: Complete.
Anthony had seen the notices in several shop windows as he passed through Diagon, but only after he'd seen five or six did he really stop to read one. It seemed the Autumn Ball was more than just a rumour, as Lisa had suggested it might be.
Okay. This was no big deal. He could just go alone. Couldn't he? Or would that seem strange? It probably would. Everyone would be there with some sort of date. Even bloody Kevin would probably be there with Padma. Anthony wrinkled his nose and took a moment to consider his other options.
He still had time to owl El. If she wasn't already going with Weasley. Or would that be completely pathetic?
Probably.
Anthony ran a hand through his hair and turned away from the notice. He'd figure something out. He always did. If nothing else, maybe he'd invite one of the girls his mum was apparently now trying to foist on him.
Yeah. He was pathetic.
