Never Thought I Would Fall For You Pt 2 (A Hogwarts Love Story)

Chapter 22 - Dates

Erika's POV
That morning...I was in the library, reading.
Boy...I sound like Hermione for a second there.

"Erika?"

I looked up from my book and saw....Jones.
"O-oh hey." I said.

He smiled.

"I thought you would be here. I was looking for you." he said.
"Oh, well...what is it?" I asked.

"Well, it's actually a question." he replied, rubbing his neck.
I waited for him to continue.

"Will you go to the ball with me?" he asked, blushing.

My eyes widen at that.

Eottoke?!

"Well? Will you?" he asked me.
I didn't know what to say but then....I nodded.

Jace smiled and hugged me.

Eh?

"Thank you." he said.
He pulled back and kissed me on my hand.

I stood there, shocked. Don't know what I'm doing.
"See you later." he said.

I nodded again. Then Jace left.

W-What...just happened? I thought.

~Later~
"EH?!?!?!?! Viktor asked you?! I exclaimed.
Yep! It happened to Hermione as well. With Viktor.

Hermione smiled and nodded.She seems really happy about it.
"Yes! Oh god! My date is a celebrity." she said.

I sighed. "You're not the only one. Jace Jones is my date."
Hermione's eyes widen at that.

"Jace Jones?! Oh my gosh, Erika!" Hermione squished me with her hug.
"Y-Yah, Hermione. You're hurting me." I winced.

She pulled back.
"Sorry."

I sighed and massaged my cheeks.
"I wasn't expecting him to ask me." I said.

"Oh~ Who were you expecting it to be?" Hermoine asked, smirking.
I sighed out of defeat.

"I was expecting to be Harry."

"I KNEW IT!" She squealed.
"Shush! And I bet you want Ron to ask you as well." I encountered.

That made her shut up.

"Caught ya!" I exclaimed.
"Oh shut it."

When suddenly the portrait opened and Belle came running in.
"Belle, why you're running?" Hermione asked.

"I...I was running...from...them..." Belle panted.
"Them?" I asked.

"Boys from all over Hogwarts. Expect for Ron, Harry, Seamus, Dean, Neville, and Fred and George." she replied.

"Jinja? How did you escape?" I asked.
"Long story short....Fred and George pulled a prank on them. They dress up Seamus into me." she replied, panting.

Hermione and I started laughing, hard.
"Yeah yeah, funny right." Belle said.

"Totally." I said.

Hermione laughed and laughed. She couldn't stop.
"Belle, you won't believe who asked me." I said.
"Who?" she asked.

"Jace Jones." I replied.
"Why him? I thought Harry would have the guts to ask you out." she said.

I frowned at that.
"That's what I thought."

Belle sighed and patted me on the shoulder.
"Just be careful around him. I don't trust him at all."

I nodded.

"And who asked you by the way." I asked.
She sighed at that.

"No one yet." she replied.

Poor Belle. I thought.

Maybe I can help her a little bit...*evil laugh*
