I wasn't asked

Summary:

Cho Chang was asked.
Fleur Delacour was asked.
Even Hermione Granger was asked.
So why did no one ask Harriet to the ball? Was she disliked that much this year.
Maybe if she hadn't been chosen to be a champion. But with her being the Girl-Who-Lived that only meant she would have been asked for that reason alone.
She just wanted to be asked because she was Harriet. It seemed that was to much to ask for.

Work Text:

I took breath before joining the others, I didn't want to be here but as I had been told it was tradition. That all champions had to open the Yule ball with their dates. The only problem with that is no one had bothered to ask me.

"Miss Potter where is your date? It is almost time for the Champions to open the dance," My head of House snapped out.

"No one asked me," I told her; her lips thinned and I knew it was going to be like all her other I am nothing like my parents talk.

"You should have asked someone!"she said before starting in on her lector about how my parents would be disappointed in me. I said nothing and just let her talk I knew it would only make her talking at me longer.

And it was but this time it was so much worse why because she walked off saying she would find someone for me to dance with. And once she was gone Hermione started in on me with her lector.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up!" I yelled at her she pulled back as if I had slapped her.

"I am over your holier than thou attitude. Nothing I do ever seems to please you! Krum a word of advice drop her quickly," I told him. He sputtered at that with Delacour acted if she had smelled something fowl.

"Harry she is your friend," Diggery said before saying I should have asked someone like Professor McGonagall said

"Is she? I would know that. Would friends get made when other get better grades then them? She does every time it happens!" I said.

"And to me asking someone; did Chang ask you? No you asked her correct," He nodded

"And Krum you asked her?" I said pointing to my former friend. He nodded that he had and Roger spoke up saying he has asked Fleur. "Then why should I have to ask someone? No one asked me! No one wanted to go with me because once more I am hated by most of the school!" I yelled I knew I was crying. Luckily I wasn't wearing any make-up so the tears could not mess that up.

I wanted to curse when I saw McGonagall returning with Ron of all people.

"Dobby!" I called out the elf popped in just before they reached us.

"Let's blow this popsicle stand," I told him. He nodded and clicked his fingers I knew he was sending a message to Winky. Whom would go pack any items that belonged to me and my family.

"Mr. Weasley has agreed to be your date for tonight Miss Potter." My soon to former head of house said.

"He can fuck off and so can you! I am done with this place. I am tired of being treated as a hero on second and a monster the next," I said she opened her mouth to say something but I just took Dobby's hand and let him pop me away.
