The next day, people of the other schools arrived. I befriended two Beauxbaton girls. Soon, Christmas was coming up as well as the Yule Ball. I was frequently getting asked by boys. And I couldn't believe my ears. Celeste told me that 30 boys had asked her to be her partner for the Yule Ball. A Hufflepuff asked me, and a Ravenclaw as well. I politely refused. I just kept on denying the feeling that I wanted Aiden to go to the ball with me. I made up my mind and decided to go alone. The next day, I saw Andromeda talking to Xavier. "Will you go to the ball with me?" She mumbled. "Sure, I haven't got a partner." He said. I laughed my head off. She was so bad at socializing. The next day, Aiden went to me. "Hullo." I said while sketching. I was bored. "Do-would you like to be my date-I mean, go to the ball with me?" He asked. My face lit up. I quickly erased my emotion with a frown. "Sure. Are you good at dancing?" "I don't know." He said. I raised my eyebrows and went somewhere else.
