Both girls also didn’t have dates. Ginny had told Dean that she wanted to spend her evening with her friends, and Hermione simply hadn"t wanted to ask someone. Cormac McLaggen had offered himself instead of asking her, but she had half-friendly declined. He was way too intrusive. Hopefully, she wouldn’t see him much. He just had that vibe of being the arrogant jerk that didn’t understand women’s boundaries. He wasn’t even Malfoy-arrogant, he was worse because he was even fuller of himself.
