WHO: Ron Weasley and Lisa Turpin
WHAT: A matter of balls.
WHEN: Firday, Sept. 11th
WHERE: The Great Hall, attending the Ball!
RATING: TBA
STATUS: Incomplete



The entrance hall was crowded and a buzz of excitement and life filled the air as pairs of chattering and laughing students milled around the doors to the great hall. From inside the hall itself the jarred sounds of various musical instruments quietly being warming up could be heard mingled with the gasps and squeals of delighted students as they found their way into the hall which, undoubtedly had been decorated lavishly for the event. Ron descended the stone steps from the upper floor, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his dress robes. The old robes he had worn at the previous Yule Ball had been replaced with newer ones of a plain black style, they were not expensive or overly sumptuous, but they were well-made and fitted him well. Something which Ron was more than happy with. As he descended the staircase his eyes scanned the scene somewhat nervously, looking for the girl he had asked to attend the ball with him.

Ron was still slightly in shock that Lisa had agreed to go to the ball with him, of course he had asked her so there was a fifty-fifty chance that she would say yes, but still he hadn’t been expecting it. If he was honest with himself he was rather relieved that she had, he had resolved almost as soon as the ball had been announced that he would make some sort of effort to actually enjoy this one, then when Hermione had told him she was going with Ernie, Ron had given up all hope of enjoying the ball and even contemplated not going at all. Yet the more time he had to think about the impending date after asking Lisa, the more nervous and excited he secretly became. He didn’t know her very well, but she was pretty good to look at and Ron knew she was clever and not one much for giggling and swooning – or so he had assumed. And so Ron descended from the Gryffindor tower that night with a quiet confidence that he was going to let nothing spoil this evening. Nothing. He wasn’t going to sit around like a misery-guts in a massive strop like he had last time. For once, he would enjoy a ball.

A large gang of Ravenclaw girls passed him a few metres away and Ron craned his neck to see if Lisa was amongst them but she didn’t seem to be. He leaned back against the wall just by the bottom of the stairs, hands still thrust in his pockets (the palms of which were starting to sweat slightly) looking around every now and then.

Ever since Ron had asked Lisa to go to the ball with him, she had been excited about going. She had planned on going and having a good time if she didn't have a date to begin with, but here she had a date. Someone had asked her, and that alone made Lisa feel good about herself in a new way. If it hadn't been Ron to ask her, Lisa still would have been excited. When Ron had written in his journal, asking who didn't have dates, Lisa hadn't expected him to ask her after she had told him that she didn't have a date. That had been quite a surprise to her. Since that day, she had to concern herself with getting something from home, as she hadn't brought anything with her. Her mother had been kind enough to send her a black dress to wear to the ball. Lisa liked it well enough, considering she wasn't really into stylish clothes or makeup. When Professor Tonks had brought up the idea of all the girls getting ready together, Lisa was excited about that. Although she had an older sister who was the opposite of her, Lisa didn't really get to share her experiences with her sister because of their age difference. At least the hand-me-downs were nice.

The time before the ball was time well spent getting ready for it. Lisa felt like a slightly different person. She wasn't used to wearing makeup, but it did make her blue eyes brighter. Lisa found she was still herself, even with the the small addition of makeup. As the time of the start of the ball drew nearer, Lisa was starting to feel even more nervous. There was nothing to be nervous about, but the feeling was there. This ball was different from the one a couple of days prior to the start of school. At least she had the option of not going to it.

She had left the tent with a group of girls, mostly from Ravenclaw, heading for the castle. Before they all reached the castle, Lisa slowed down. She was slightly worried that she would get lost among the group and have trouble finding Ron. As soon as she entered through the entrance hall, Lisa spotted him by the stairs. "Hello, Ron," Lisa said as she walked over to him. "You look nice."

Ron looked up as he heard his name and his eyes fell upon Lisa who, for the occasion – like most of the girls – seemed to have turned up looking as fine as he had ever seen her. He broke into a nervous grin and took a few awkward steps towards her. “Hi…..um….you look….amazing.” he said breaking off at the last part of the sentence to gawp at her slightly. Ron couldn’t remember who Lisa had attended the last ball with, nor who her date had been that time – but he couldn’t help the feeling of relief and pride that she had agreed to go with him this time which was swelling in the pit of his stomach as he took in her beautiful black dress and the way she filled it.

Ron shook his head slightly and smiled at her, he gallantly offered his arm to her as he had seen many of the other boys doing as he had waited in the hall. Ron was aware that the room was very hot, either that or he was sweating with anxiety and nerves after seeing just how pretty his date was. He shook his head a fraction and gulped silently, trying to compose himself. He barely knew Lisa, he didn’t need her thinking he was some sort of troll at social events. He tried to calm himself down by talking in his head to himself. Reminding himself that he was a 7th year now, that he had already been to two balls, that he was armed with the extensive knowledge he had from Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches. Ron relaxed slightly remembering all this and as he began to guide Lisa toward the door of the great hall, meandering between other couples and groups of students who seemed to peer at them with mild curiosity, Ron attempted at striking up a conversation. Wishing that he knew slightly more about Lisa so he could begin on a subject she liked, he had to content himself with asking her “So, did you go with Tonks to get ready?!” Not quite sure if asking a girl about getting ready was rude or not.

Ever since she had passed through the entrance hall, Lisa felt like a different person. Relief from being complimented washed over her as it made her feel better about herself. Lisa was actually glad to have a date for this one, though she wouldn't have minded if she had gone alone or with one of the girls in the dormitory. The previous ball she had had a date and had enjoyed it then, and she hoped that she would enjoy this ball too. "Thank you, Ron," she told him, blushing a little from the compliment. Lisa felt very nervous, but somehow it didn't reflect in her speech. She looked down at the ground and bit her bottom lip before looking back up with a smile on her face.

She took his arm happily and trying to think of something to say. They couldn't just spend the time they spent together at this ball in silence. Lisa knew he had to be nervous, just like she was, but could not really tell if he was. As they walked into the Great Hall, Lisa saw people she knew, but they were too far away for her to greet them. It wasn't like she wasn't going to see any of them for some time so she just decided to go with the flow of things. The silence between them was broken when Ron asked her a question. She turned her head to look at him as she answered it. She didn't think the question was rude. Lisa was glad that one of them had the courage to say something first. "Yes, I did. It was fun getting ready with the other girls," Lisa told him. "I thought it was brilliant that a professor wanted to have fun with us." Now that she had answered his question, she felt that she should say something to him. Yesterday she had seen the bulletin concerning the Quidditch teams and he was named captain of the Gryffindor team. "I saw that you're the Quidditch captain for the Gryffindor team yesterday. Congratulations."
