Harry felt a growl build in his throat, it coming out warbled in the water that surrounded him. The merpeople backed up as he swam determinedly up to the limp body of Hermione, he barely took notice of the little girl, or Cho, or Ginny who had been Viktors date to the Yule ball. He thought of the ball as he worked the rope off of Hermione, and his mind drifted to Hermione and how beautiful she looked in her gown. It took him weeks to convince her to let him pay for it, he had irrationally felt jealous as he watched Ron and her dance, even though they both agreed that having her go with Ron looked good for her, kept her further from the main issue, and kept Ron calm. Harry had asked Luna Lovegood after he learned that Krum had asked Ginny (much to his relief, although it did change their plans of both going with Weasleys, therefore looking far less suspicious of their plans, but Luna was good in both that Harry actually found her to be great company, and that she was bullied so it looked all noble for him to go with her on the outside.
