Tristan was in no rush to meet Mandy there. He was a little nervous, which Tristan never was. He was always so calm and cool, but right now he was losing his cool. He never thought that would even happen. Mandy wasn't just some girl to him, no, he actually liked her. She wasn't just some arm candy like his others were. He slowly walked down the path to the black lake, it was his favorite place to be. Especially when he wants to think. He had been here time and time again the past few days, thinking whether he should ask Mandy to the ball.

Leaning against a tree right by the water, he saw the giant squids tentacle. "It's just me, buddy." He said, smiling. He waited for Mandy, and he would stay all night if he had too, he had to ask her. Tristan had too.

Mandy was nervous too, but she could hardly let herself think that Tristan maybe asking her... no! That couldn't be it. She wouldn't get her hopes up. Tristan could ask out any girl he wanted, and they were just really good friends. Even if Mandy may have... thought he was so good looking, and may have had a crush on him for years. Most of her guy friends were sweet to her, but there was just something about Tristan.

So after putting aside some of her homework, tidying up her curls a bit... which never usually worked and just stayed a mess, and pulling on a jumper, she headed out of Hufflepuff and went for the entrance hall out to the grounds. She wondered why they were meeting by the lake? They'd be alone there... so whatever he had to ask must have been important.

She bit her lip nervously. "Don't jump to conclusions..." she mumbled to herseld outloud, but he was already blushing at the thought. Maybe she shouldn't go... but that would be mean. And it wouldn't be Tristan's fault if he asked something different. No she would go! Mandy was just being silly.

Mandy got closer to the lake and smiled when she saw Tristan sitting by a tree. She was nervous, but still happy to see him. "Tristan!" she yelled, since she was still a bit far off and Mandy waved and quickened her pace to go meet him there.

Tristan silently paced, trying to figure out the words, that he would ask Mandy. He looked to the path every now and then, hoping that he would see her. Man, was she pretty. She would have to be one of the prettiest girls in hufflepuff. Or well, that's what he thought. Tristan again looked up to the path, and he saw her walking down, beautifully towards him.

He heard his name, and he jumped. "Mandy!" He waved, and he waited until she met up with him. "Hey, what's up?" He smiled.

Mandy smiled back at Tristan as she met up with him finally. She really liked his smile, and she tried not to blush. It was mostly because he was smiling at her. "Hi! Nothing much really, I've been having kind of a boring day... well until you asked me to come down here that is!" she said blushing more.

The wind was blowing her hair a bit, and she brushed it back from her face slightly annoyed. Why of all times did her hair not want to cooperate? Her friend, and one of the best looking boys in Hufflepuff, not Hogwarts wanted to ask her something! But no she wasn't going to get her hopes up about what he was going to ask her! "So what did you want to ask?" ... she said. She was still eager to know... but no, not getting her hopes up!

Tristan kept smiling, and nodding. "My day has been a bit boring as well. I have done absolutely nothing." Tristan was trying to avoid the awkwardness. He looked into her eyes as she spoke. He could hear the eagerness in her voice, and that made him smile.

Her question startled him. Straight and to the point. He thought to himself. But it wasn't at all. Tristan looked at his feet. He was never nervous. Never. And now he found himself insanely nervous. "Well...with this ball and everything going on. And people finding...dates, and such.." He paused, rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "I like you...kind of a lot...and..I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?" He looked into her eyes, and smiled, a 'please say yes' smile.

"Well it is the weekend. I'm glad to be bored right now instead of dealing with moutains of homework for NEWTs yet," Mandy said with a soft laugh. She was terribly worried about NEWTs and she was sure she wouldn't do well enough... but that wasn't what she should be nervous about right now!

Mandy was confused looking at Tristan. Was he... nervous? He was never nervous! Tristan was one of the most confident people she knew. She couldn't help grin when he started mentioning the ball. Was he really going to ask her. Was Tristan Carter REALLY going ask her?!

Mandy resisted the urge to giggle when he asked, but there was nothing that would stop her from blushing now. And that smile... it made her want to melt all the more. "Of course, I'd love to go with you Tristan!" she said answering him. She may have thought that Tristan could have asked any girl and gotten any date he wanted... but she wasn't going to say no because of that simple fact!

But then she remembered he'd said something else. She was so excited in anticipating she'd missed what he said first. "What do you mean you like me... a lot?" Mandy asked hardly believing it. But he was asking her to the ball...

"NEWTs..don't even remind me." He nodded sadly, he hasn't even started one bit of his homework the professors cursed him with Friday. He would have trouble, and end up asked Shane for help.

He waited for her to answer, so many things that are running through this moment. Tristan never wanted to experience rejection, but it could happen, even he can't stop the inevitable. He looked down at his feet.

He noticed the blush and heard the giggle. He looked up and smiled when she said yes. Tristan felt a huge relief rush over him, and his smile grew even more. He had never felt so happy in his life.

He grinned, "I like you Mandy, more than I have anyone for awhile." He spoke with confidence, and smiled once again.

"Sorry," Mandy said at mentioning of NEWTs. Obviously this just wasn't the time to be talking about NEWTs, especially when it was just the two of them and he'd asked her something so important! Who needed to think about NEWTs, when someone like Tristan asked them to the ball?!

Mandy decided then that she adored his smile, especially when it was after her saying yes to being his ball date. It made her feel happy, and especially excited that someone like that would want to ask her!

"Really?" she asked when he'd said that he liked her again. The blush just wouldn't leave her face, and Mandy moved her hands over her warm cheeks. "I... I didn't know!" Why would Tristan like someone like her?
