So it's been a while since I've posted anything but oh well, life gets in the way sometimes. I'd like to say new year new me but I have no idea how often I'll be putting out new work, so don't get your hopes up and hopefully you won't be disappointed.

This is a just a cute oneshot to get me back in the swing of things.

Here's to a good year!

The sight of Hermione Granger walking a fast pace through the hall ways and crowds of students around her was not an uncommon occurrence. But the brunette talking to herself while doing so, definitely was.

"The Yule Ball is a tradition of the Tri Wizard Tournament... All fourth year students and above are expected to attend... To come with a date is highly encouraged".

She remembered the words of Professor McGonagall clearly, ignoring the building nervousness as she continued to mutter.

"Hmmf, a date. Like anyone is going to ask 'know it all Granger'. Add the fact that I'm not even into guys and the odds drop even further".

Hermione mindlessly glided through corridors and students. Not needing to pay too much attention, as it had become second nature, and not minding the students around her.

"Honestly, the only chance I'll have is to ask someone myself".

As she blindly turned a corner, getting deeper into her self-ranting, Hermione failed to notice the large group she was heading towards.

"It can't be too difficult. Right? Find an interesting girl, maybe try to get her alone, smile and approach confidently. Would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me? No that won't-"

"I would love to".

Hermione froze.

Coming back to reality, she saw a sea of light blue before her. Looking upwards she became captured by a pair of blue orbs, seemingly glowing with happiness.

It took her brain a moment to realise she was looking at Fleur Delacour of all people, with a large smile on her gracing her flawless features.

'Wait, didn't she say something?'

"Um, sorry, what did you say?".

"I said yes"

Hermiones brow furrowed. "Yes to what?"

Fleurs smile fell a little and Hermione couldn't help but miss those beautiful dimples. 'Oh Merlin I'm so gay'.

"You asked me to go to ze ball with you"

... "I did?"

Fleur nodded, a cross of confusion and amusement now adorning her face. "Did you not mean to?".

While Hermiones brain was still trying to catch up, her mouth tried its best on its own. "Um... No?"

"So you do want to go wiz me?"

'Mouth please stop!' "Of course, who wouldn't?"

Fleurs smile returned, almost blinding Hermione. "Merveilleux! I 'av to meet ma sœur now but we will discuss ze details later oui?"

Hermione dumbly nodded.

"Good, I will see you later ma belle".

Fleur stepped up to Hermione before placing a warm kiss on her cheek. "Au revoir mon Cher"

Hermione felt fire in her cheeks as she watched Fleur saunter away with a slight swing in her hips.

Still rooted to the ground, her mind finally caught up.

"What the hell just happened?"

... Or maybe not.
