Harry Potter: A Different Tale

"Ron and Hermione abandoned me to face a dragon on my own, and you know about Ron attacking me and accusing me of entering. I've been hanging out with Harry more, he told me that our friends affect us and how other people see us. Well, I want to be better than before, and that's why when I want to go to the ball, I want a girl who's better than me"

"Oh, that was so sweet" She smiled widely "you should definitely keep hanging out with your brother, sounds like he's teaching you a thing or two. Before I accept, you do know that I'm a muggleborn right, does that bother you?"

"Not really" Adrian answered "my mum's a muggleborn and according to most people she was the smartest witch of her age"

"Fine, I accept your offer and will be your date"

"What? Really? You know we have to be part of the opening dance?"

"That's fine, and forget your brother, I'll teach you how to dance"

"Awesome!" Adrian grinned

"You'd better not make me regret this" she warned him

"Never"

"That will be enough for now" McGonagall interrupted the class "remember to practice before the ball, for those of you that wish to have additional classes on dancing, come and see me"

"So Adrian" Rachel said "I'll need to buy a dress for the ball"

"I'll need to buy something for the ball as well, maybe we could both go on the next Hogsmead weekend and buy our clothes then?"

"Are you asking me out on a date?" She smiled coyly

"That depends, do you want it to be?" Adrian replied, mentally thanking Harry for all he's worth, thank Merlin Harry had taught him how to talk to girls.

"Maybe I do" She replied

"Well, consider it a date then" Adrian smiled

Victor Krum was currently sat in the library, a little father down Hermione and Ron were sat. Ron was somewhere between wanting to talk to Krum whilst also being too nervous to do so. Hermione could admit that Krum was a handsome man, and the fact that he was a famous quidditch player was a nice bonus.

Perhaps if she had him as her date then Adrian would get jealous and come back to his senses and realize that he needed her. It was obvious to her that Adrian's brother was corrupting Adrian, before Adrian would have listened to Hermione and did what she said, but now he had started rebelling against her.

"Alright Krum? You smug bastard" A voice brought the two out of their thoughts and they looked up to see Harry sitting with Krum "I've been looking for you"

"Sorry" Krum apologized "vat did you vant to talk about?"

"Firstly, do you have a date yet?" Harry asked, Ron scowled while Hermione perked up

"Not yet" Krum admitted

"Well, do not fear my friend, I have your back" Harry smiled "I already have one so I have nothing better to do than help the rest of you sorry sods"

"Thank you" Krum said dryly "well, I did have one I was thinking about" Krum leaned in and whispered into Harry's ear before leaning back "what do you think?" Krum got his answer when Harry delivered a dope slap on the back of his head

"No" Harry said, he leaned in and whispered into Krum's ear "she abandoned my brother after his name came out, despite the fact that she was his best friend for the last few years" Harry leaned back and stopped whispering "I don't think that that's the type of person you want to go with"

"True" Krum sighed disappointedly "who do you suggest?" Harry whispered his answer into Krum's ear "Really? Her?"

"Yeah, she finds it difficult to get dates" Harry replied "but she's also smart and kind once you get to know her"

"Very vell" Krum nodded "I shall ask her"

"Good for you" Harry smiled "Just tell her that I recommended you, it'll help a lot"

"I'm sure" Krum chuckled

"Who do you think they're talking about?" Ron asked Hermione

"I don't know!" Hermione internally cursed Harry for ruining her plan, even though she knew there was no way he would have knew her plan.

"Are you done in here?" Harry asked

"Ya" Krum nodded "would you like to accompany me on a flight? I vant to go and fly around for a bit"

"Sure, unless you want to duel" Harry grinned

"Oh no" Krum shook his head "I'm not dueling you again, last time vas enough"

"Baby" Harry replied as they both stood up

"You say baby, the healer said broken arms" Krum said as they walked out

"Yeah but they're fixed so stop being such a pansy"

"You nearly cost me a leg"

"What does that matter? You have two for a reason"

"What the bloody hell was that about?!" Ron exclaimed once they had left, which then resulted in the librarian kicking him and Hermione out, which was why Hermione was glaring at him the whole way back to the common room.
