Chapter 8:

                                    

                                          
*A few days later*
                          
Harry and I were sitting in the Gryffindor common room (again, she can sneak in), talking, laughing and just having a good time. No one really minds that I sneak into Gryffindor, they don't think of me as a Slytherin.
                          
"Aster" Harry says, calming down from his laughter "yea?" I ask curiously, also calming down my laughter.
                          
"Well, I'm in the slug club, and we're having a party... well I was wondering if you wanted to go... with me" he says, his voice cracking "Harry..." I say trying to hold in the laughter, as he looks up at me, his eyes grow with panic "you don't have to if you don't want to, its completely fine" he says quickly.
                          
"Harry!" I yell, now laughing "what?" he asks confused "you were afraid to ask me to the slug club party?" I ask "Your own girlfriend?" I add with a smile, he then smiles "yea, I suppose your right, I was being a coward" he said giggling.
                          
I nod my head "yes, I will love to go to the slug club party with you... when exactly is it?" I ask again curiously. He coughs and then quickly says "tomorrow" as he looks down to the floor. 
                          
"Harry Potter! you did not just ask me to go to a party with you, the night before it starts!" I yell playfully, punching him in the arm lightly. "Sorry! I guess it took me a little longer to ask you than expected" he said with his cute smile.
                          
"Your lucky I already have a dress" I say playfully, I then give him a peck on the cheek and go back to my own common room so I can sleep (it was pretty late).
                          
*the next day*
                          
It was time for the party, I was in the great hall with Fred and George when I remembered that I needed to get ready for the dance, I quickly rush out of the great hall and to my dorm.
                          
I put on my black dress that goes down to my ankles and put on my black heels. I do my makeup better than I normally do and quickly put my hair in some curls, I rush to meet Harry and Hermione at the entrance of the doors.
                          
I see Harry and only Harry, no Hermione "Where's Hermione?" I ask confused "Woah... you look, amazing" he says, completely ignoring the question.   
                          
"Thanks, you look very handsome" I say leaning in for a kiss, we snog for a few moments before I pull away "where is Hermione?" I ask again, "oh, shes already in their with Cormac" he says.
                          
"What? She went with Cormac?" I ask in disbelief, "I know, your just as surprised as I was" Harry says as we enter the dance. 
                          
It wasn't to crowded, that was nice, Harry wondered off somewhere and I was left to dance with Luna, I didn't mind though, Luna's very kind.
                          
We were almost nearing the end of the party when Mr. Filch walked in, holding onto Draco's suit collar, Draco struggling "take your hands off me you filthy squid" which made me chuckle.
                          
Mr. Filch then spoke "Professor Slughorn sir, I just discovered this boy lerking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party" he says proudly.
                          
"Ok, ok! I was gate crashing... happy?" he says snotty.
                          
"Actually Mr Filch, I invited Draco to the party, but I then forgot I was already going with Harry, I must have forgot to tell him that I would have to cancel, he must've saw me with Harry and ran off trying not to be seen, I am so sorry" I say, everything being a complete lie. 
                          
Draco gave me a confused look, Mr. Filch looking defeated, I smile at Draco as my dad takes him out of the party, Harry and I shoot each other glances and follow.
