It was very warm in the dormitory of the 1st-class Hufflepuff guys. Mike was sitting on his bed, playing guitar. It was the first time in Hogwarts that Mike did without Quidditch not because of the weather. Since breakfast he was in the Common Room talking with some peers or practising some love songs. Yes, it was a very special day, although it didn´t concern Mike. Of course he had no girlfriend yet. But, for some unknown reason, this day still seemed to be special for him.
Mike looked at the clock. "Hmmm, it´s time to get ready" he thought, packed his guitar into the bag and stored it under his bed. Then he opened his trunk and grabbed his blue ball cloak. He put on his cloak and looked into the mirror. The colour of his cloak fitted to his eye color. Then he put on his best shoes, black with blue stripes, drove his hand through his hairs and grabbed his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa" he said, just to practise one of his spell he needed to learn for lessons.
A pair of his own chucks, blue ones, floated through the dormitory. After Mike moved his chucks onto his bed, he finished his spell. Yes, this one worked. This spell is no problem for him anymore. Before he left he looked into his dormitry again. With another "Wingardium Leviosa" he moved his shoes back into the trunk. He closed the door of the empty dormitory and rushed down the stairs out of the Common Room.
After he arrived one minute later, he looked for some peers. Just a fe moments later he found two classmates, both girls.
"Hey, what´s up...."
"Hey, Mike. What´s up? We´re fine....."
"Aww...me too..."
Mike thought that his classmates looked very beautiful in their dresses, but he found no words to tell it. He just looked around a bit nervous, not knowing why.
"Uhm...are you waiting for someone??"
"Uhmm...not really. And you, too??"
"Just looking for some another peers..."
Uhm shall I fetch some drink´s??"
"Pumpkin juice."
"Orange juice."
"Okay, see you soon...."
And Mike rushed watching for some kind of bar.
Although he had got no girlfriend (and he thought bitterly about Tasha), he couldn´t stop enjoying this ball, even when it started just a few minutes ago. All in all Hogwarts was a very important turn in his life. He found at least some friends here. The first time for 4 years he found some people (expected of his family) he could just talk, play games, do some jokes, and so on...And Quidditch could be THE key for making his biggest dream come true (expected of finding a girlfriend): to become famous.
Then Mike found some guys handing out some drinks and foods. He walked towards them and gave his order:
"Uhm...A pumpkin juice, an orange juice and a Coke, please...."
"Coke??? You sound like a drug junkie...We don´t sell drugs."
"No, I mean the drink called "Coke"."
"Uhm...here doesn´t exist a drink called "Coke"...
As a muggle-borned student he realized again that the magic world is just different than the muggle world.
"Okay, than two orange juice, please..."
"At once, sir..."
Mike waited for his drinks, when someone moved towards the bar to give an order, too.......

It was Alyson Miller also in Huffelpuff, just two years ahead of him. She has a pink dress on and her hair looked more girly than it usually did. Aly looked at him and smiled "Hello" she sayed with a brightly. "your Michael Homwood right?" she asked un sure, she knew quite a bit of people in her house, but wasn't aways sure who exactly they were. When the men handing out the drinks and food asked her what she wanted she sayed "um....I'll have pumpkin juice." she sayed. She was now waiting for her drink also.
"arn't you here with anyone?" she asked noticing he was accompanied by no one. She was excited for this dance but didn't have a date herself, was it because she was too much like 'one of the guys?' or was it because she wasn't popular. That didn't matter to her, as long as she had a good time she looked at the decorations in there, "who ever set this up did a fantastic job." Alyson sayed.
She was still looking around. She loved how the schools set up the dances, she aways loved magic, she was also a muggleborn, and when her and her brother got their letters, the family thought it was a joke. She loved to do it and loved to see people perform the magic, but her favorite magic of all was Quidditch.

"Hello. your Michael Homwood right?" he heard someone speaking to him, a female voice. He turned his head into the direction of the person who spoke to him. He blinked and then he wondered wether it is magic, but it seemed to be that nearly every girl looked beautiful in their dresses. Also he wondered, why someone he never met knew his name. Was he really that famous?
"um....I'll have pumpkin juice." he heard the girl speaking.
"arn't you here with anyone?.....who ever set this up did a fantastic job."
After he realized that sh finished he answered:
"Uhm.....yes I am, how do ya know my name??? By the way, who are you??"
Mike still had to wait for his drinks. No wonder, the ball room started to become full and at least 20 students are waiting for their orders.
"Uhm....I´m here with some peers, but I don´t have got a kind of a partner, I didn´t ask someone..."
Of course he didn´t. He was just too shy to ask Tasha. But just in moment he didn´t mind it. The bal, even without partner, just started to be outrageous. Of course, the Valentine´s day is THE day for couples. And there were lots of couples dancing and kissing on the dance floor. But this was no matter for Mike as long as he is more popular than in primary school some months ago.
"You´re right. They´re fantastic. Imagine you must hand outdrinks and snacks for...uhh...how many students?? 200??"
Just in moment he started to think about how many students visited Hogwarts. He had no idea, but 200 could be a realistic number, may be more.....
"And you?? Are you here with someone??"

When he ansored her with the "Uhm.....yes I am, how do ya know my name??? By the way, who are you??" she looked at him, when he was sorted she was watching she was onily two years older and loved to watch the sorting scarmony. "I'm Alyson. Alyson Miller. and I'm in your house, Huffelpuff? I was watching you get sorted" she sayed putting her hand out for a shake.
"Uhm....I´m here with some peers, but I don´t have got a kind of a partner, I didn´t ask someone..." he sayed. Alyson was shocked to hear this, she would think almost everyone had dates, it was the 'Valentines Day Ball'. A day for romance, and all gunky stuff Alyson wasn't aways to fond of. and than after Aly complimented the decorations he sayed "You´re right. They´re fantastic. Imagine you must hand outdrinks and snacks for...uhh...how many students?? 200??" Aly smiled she knew there were probly more then 200 children at hogwarts, it was the lagrest population of all wizarding schools wasn't it?
"And you?? Are you here with someone??" he asked her she looked at him and smiled "no, not really I'm here with my brother, not really a date sence he refuses to dance" Aly laughed her brother hated danceing but was really good. She was still waiting for her drinks and gave a laugh thinking of the time when her and her brother were at the muggle school and the people who were giveing out drinks were slow, slower then these people.

As Alyson said: "I'm Alyson. Alyson Miller. and I'm in your house, Huffelpuff? I was watching you get sorted", he imagined whether it is easy to remember the names of some firsties. But of course all students are more interested in their new housemates. "Uhm..yes, Hufflepuff, it´s correct."
But when Mike saw Alyson´s reaction after he said "Uhm....I´m here with some peers, but I don´t have got a kind of a partner, I didn´t ask someone...",
he just found a few words: "Hmmm, what would you expect from a firstie."
Then he heard Alyson answering: "No, not really I'm here with my brother, not really a date sence he refuses to dance". But while Michael tried to answer he was interrupted. His drinks were handed out.
"Here, sir. Two Orange Juice and a Pumpkin Juice."
"Thank you, sir.", he replied and scanned the ball room for his two classmates. He was just too interested in Alyson, but in a friendly way. So he just remind his charms practice in his dormitory. He called: "Wingardium Leviosa" and just like in the dormitory this charm was no problem for him. He just charmed a little, empty plate lying on the bar. He put the pumpkin juice and orange juice on it and moved it to the girls. First they were scared and looked towards the bar. Mike waved his hand and the girls realized that Mike was charming the plate. They grabbed their drinks and Mike moved the plate onto a table and finished the charm.
"At least one spell which works without problem" he told Alyson with a little grin and thought about an interesting topic. But he found no one and so he just ask something to continue the conversation.
"Are you playing Quidditch, too?"

When Michael sayed: "Hmmm, what would you expect from a firstie." she wasn't exactly sure what she would expect she thought a moment and sayed "well I dunno. Just thought everyoue would be here with an actual date." she sayed shrugging. She wasn't with anyone because she didn't take much intrest in boys, or anything. But she did fancy them occionaly.
"At least one spell which works without problem" Michale sayed with a grin, and Alyson gave a giggle "I know what you mean. I think, my first year was ok but over wellming with all the news and things" Alyson sayed when her drink came she sayed "thank you" to the person handing out drinks. "your Welcome" he sayed as she took a sip of her pumpkin juce and held on to it with her hand. as he asked "are you playing Quidditch, too?" she took another sip and sayed "yes, I am, I play keeper" with a smile, she was quite happy with herself as she was muggleborn and really good flyer.

"well I dunno. Just thought everyoue would be here with an actual date." she answered. And this answer seemed to be very logical to Mike. It was Valentine´s Day.
"Yeah, but even when I haven´t got a girlfriend. It is party time, and lots of students, lovers or not, don´t wanna miss such an event, do you??" Yes, at least Mike didn´t want to miss the Valentine´s Ball. It´s a perfect chance to boost up the own social situation. Lots of friends and being famous, these are t of Mike´s greatest dreams. And, who know, while the Valentine´s Ball everyone could find his or her greatest luck. How many lovers were coupled while Valentine´s Day??
Then Alyson told Michael, that she was Hufflepuff´s keeper.
"Oii, keeper? So we are in a team?? I didn´t knew it. So what do you think about practice, maybe tomorrow?"
It would be some fun when Mike don´t need to practise alone. But they must practise in team, because of the start of the Quidditch Cup. Of course Mike want to win the Cup with his team mates, so in his opinion team practice may be urgent.

"Oii, keeper? So we are in a team?? I didn't know it. What you think about practice, maybe tomorrow.?" he asked Aly she stood there and thought of her busy schedule for the week, "Um..."she sayed as she thought of it, she had school work, and her book she wanted to read, and maybe go and do what you want time "sure, I have boring stuff to do tomorrow anyway" Alyson sayed smiling "its a date" she sayed not meaning an actual date but the time was set and such.
Alyson finished her pumpkin juice and put it on the nearest table knowing the people were going to come around and pick everything up, as they gave the house elves some rest. She liked the House Elves, thought they were cute. "So what part are you in Quiddtich?" she asked as now she knew he was on the team also, and was wondering what his place was to do. She was also a quite nosy person, and sometimes gets into people's business when it is the wrong thing to do.

Mie didn´t finished his Juice yet, but he asked for some Bertie Bott´s Beans. He loved them, because he love surprises, and it was quite fun to try out all of them and hope to get a delicious one. But he could remember when he caught a bean flavouring like rotten fish. He became nearly sick. But mostly he had got luck: bananas, chocolate, he even got a bean flavouring like roastbeef. But it was the diversity which make them so interesting.
"So what part are you in Quiddtich?" Alyson asked.
Mike looke a bit unsure. Of course he could tell Alson his position, but a Seeker always bear a great responsibility, and his biggest fear is not to come up it.
"I´m the Seeker. But I´m rookie, the next match will be my first one in my life. But I hope I can compete with the other seekers." he ended a bit demotivated. He had got no measure, so he didn´t knew if he had a realistic chance against the competition. The only fact he knew, was that it was very urgent to buy his own broom.
"Uhm...Have you got some magazines about broomsticks?? I need an convenient one. Because I hate the Comet Two-Sixty´s from our school. They suck. Even a dead slug is faster then me..."

"I´m the Seeker. But I´m rookie, the next match will be my first one in my life. But I hope I can compete with the other seekers." Michael sayed to Alyson "aw thats so cool!" Alyson sayed she liked that position, and knew it was a huge part of the game. and he sayed to her "Uhm...Have you got some magazines about broomsticks?? I need an convenient one. Because I hate the Comet Two-Sixty´s from our school. They suck. Even a dead slug is faster then me..." and she smilied she did have magazines, not one, not two, but 50+ she had so many, and loved to look through them "yes i do have some, and by some i meen loads" she laughed. "what kind of broom are you looking for?" she asked him with a smile on her face, she took much intrest in the brooms.
