well. i was waiting to see if someone would talk to me before i wrote here, but, well, it's been a few days, and he hasn't even given me a 'hello.'
as everyone knows, i guess, i went to the ball with harry potter. and i was really nervous about the ball the whole time beforehand, because i don't like dressing up, and i'm not good at dancing, and honestly i didn't know if it meant that harry and i were, like, a couple now, or what, but yeah, i was pretty worried. because i don't like harry like that, i didn't want to embarrass myself dancing, and yeah.
so we went to the ball and sat with ron and hermione and a bunch of other people, and for the most part it was pretty nice. during dinner we got in a lot of talk about quidditch, or rather, harry and ron did, and hermione and i smiled at each other. i was so nervous i could barely throw in a word here or there, even though i wanted to say a bunch so they'd see i knew just as much about quidditch as they do. but that was ok, i think, even though i couldn't even eat because i'm so awkward and shy.
all the other girls were wearing really fancy gowns and robes, and i was just wearing plain blue dress robes, and as soon as i saw i just wanted to cry in humiliation, but that would have made me look even WORSE.
i guess i'm getting too personal here.
i danced with harry a couple times which was akward and embarassing, but it went ok, i think. then he stopped asking and we just sat at the table all night. and i didn't want to dance before the dance, but then when i wasn't dancing, i wanted to be asked, you know? so it kind of would have been nice if harry had, you know, talked to me or asked me to dance.
but he did talk to me. honestly, though, harry if you were going to spend so much time looking at that pansy parkinson and talking about her, well ............. maybe you should have gone with her instead!! :(
anyway, justin asked me to dance, and i was so grateful to be asked, i just went and danced with him. and then when i came back harry was gone so i just sat there waiting for him. and someone came in yelling about a fight, and i STILL sat there, i don't know why.
and then when i was sitting there, proffesor mcgonagall came in and told me the ball was over, and i was supposed to be back in my house, and she took two points from hufflepuff, and i was so embarrassed.
so i guess the ball didn't go very well, and harry didn't even say he was going anywhere. i heard he got into a fight with that gross malfoy in slytherin, so i guess it's not his fault, but i still felt really stupid :(
on the bright side....... i won't have to worry about dressing up anymore.
