Room 308, Tuesday night

[smartestone]

Despite the papers in front of her, Hermione actually wasn't studying. She'd just finished the latest letter from Viktor and was trying to write back, but wasn't finding too much to say. This may have been a sign that she needed to get out more. Not that she was telling anyone else that because she'd never hear the end of it, but she did realize it.

The door was open.

[For one specifically.]

Comments

That was about the last thing she'd epected. Hermione blinked once or twice, and asked, "You want to go with me?"

"You sound surprised. I thought we had the basics of conversation perfected. One of us greets the other, we exchange a few quips, you frown at me for something I'm doing, I assure you it's not as bad as it seems and then I ask you a question and you give an answer. Granted," he said, sitting down on one the edge of one of the beds, "I only have one conversation to base this on excluding this one, but I think it's a good trend that we started and I'd like to keep going with it. Wanna go to the dance with me?"

She opened her mouth to say something, and closed it again. It wasn't like she had any reason to say no. No one else had asked her, though she hadn't been planning on going, and so far their conversations had been... interesting.

"Sure," Hermione said. "I'll go with you."

"Great!" Ferris said, standing back up and clapping his hands together once. "I'll pick you up here half an hour before it starts."

"I'll be ready," she promised. And then for some reason she added on a, "Thanks."

He smiled at that, not laughing at her, but still a little amused at being thanked. "Hey, I should be thanking you. You don't know what it does to a guy's ego to be turned down." He headed for the door. "It's not pretty," he said, turning once he got there.

"And no one needs to deal with that," Hermione said with a smile. "Good night, Ferris."

"Night Hermione." He flashed her a smile which he then shared with the audience and headed down the hallway whistling Danke Schoen to himself.
