Well, I must say that this whole business with the Yule Ball is quite ridiculous. We shouldn't have to make romantic overtures to our peers in order to pass a class. Hmph. I suppose I must get a date, because I am certainly not failing a class for such a silly reason. Er. I think

What about a spanner, Hermione?

You could always use a revolver, I suppose, but those can be so dangerous, especially if you check to see if they're in working order by squeezing the trigger when squinting down the barrel.

One of Father's long dead cousins did that. It took weeks to clean the drapes, apparently.

Strangely attractive for a female as peculiar as yourself to be talking about weaponry and ...pipes.

Which reminds me, would you, uhm, want to go to the Yule Ball with me?

[stolen_marbles]

Would I want to? I think I might like to.

Only if you promise that you will dance with me. I like dancing.

And no leather.

[deranged_gofer]

Why does the bunny have--

Actually, I probably do not want to know. And yes, I'll wear no leather whatsoever.

I suppose dancing will be fine. After all, I have been taught by the best. Even if the best is largely into disco. Not that there's anything wrong with disco, but it's just really ..sparkly.

Uhm, right. I'll see you then, right?

Why shoudn't he have antlers?

I think they suit him, personally.

I like sparkly! What colour sparkly were you thinking of?

[deranged_gofer]

No, no, no, I am not going to wear disco. Or dance disco. Unless they play disco, of course, and you really want me to dance disco, but, uhm, yeah.

Red? But I'm still not wearing sparkly disco things. They reduce my masculinity and make me feel like a decorated, white pony.

[stolen_marbles]

Even if I (what's the saying?) "sugarglider my eyelashes at you?"

[deranged_gofer]

Well, that is of course very sweet and yet creepy in a way. Most of the ways.

I think we shall have a great time even if I do not look like a pony.

Every girl wants or wanted a pony at some stage in their lives, George.

The Quibbler had a feature on it last month. Most girls seemed to want unicorns, though.

[deranged_gofer]

Yes, well, if I was a pony, I would not have a horn. And if I really must be a pony in order for a girl to want me, I'm not sure if I want girls in general.

However, The Quibbler - highly educational reading. Especially last October's issue, where there was a story about a witch who had charmed a pair of knickers to dance and since in Urdu every time she clapped her hands. Why they don't teach that at school, I'll never figure out.

You know, George, I've been thinking about this, and the perfect combination would have to be a centaur.

There's still that horsy appeal, but he's also a man. And somewhat wild, too.

Perfect.

[pious_zacharias]

Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?

[stolen_marbles]

George asked me first. I'm sorry, Zacharias. You do have lovely feet.
