[English]

Good luck today, Ron.

Nice hat!

Ron, you're a loser!

I'm counting on you, Ron.

I’ve two Galleons on Gryffindor, yeah?

Loser!

What's he wearing?

So, how was it, then?

How was what?

Your dinner party.

Pretty boring, actually.

Though I think Harry enjoyed dessert.

Slughorn's having Christmas do, you know.

And we're meant to bring someone.

I expect you'll be bringing McLaggen.

He's in the Slug Club, isn't he?

Actually, I was going to ask you.

Really?

Good luck today, Ron.

I know you'll be brilliant.

I'm resigning.

After today's match,

McLaggen can have my spot.

Have it your way.

Juice.

Hello, everyone.

You look dreadful, Ron.

Is that why you put

something in his cup?

Is it a tonic?

Liquid Luck?

Don't drink it, Ron!

You could be expelled for that.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come on, Harry.

We've got a game to win.

Yes!

Yes!

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Woo!

Yes!

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

Weasley, Weasley, Weasley!

You really shouldn't have done it.

I know.

I suppose I could've just

used a Confundus Charm.

That was different.

That was try-outs,

this was an actual game.

You didn't put it in.

Ron only thought you did.

Charm spell.

I'm just practicing.

Well, they're really good.

How does it feel, Harry?

When you see Dean with Ginny?

Oh, um...

I know.

I see the way you look at her.

You're my best friend.

[Lavender giggling]

Oops.

I think this room's taken.

What's with the birds?

Oppugno!

It feels like this.

I can’t help it if she’s got

her knickers in a twist

What Lav and I have...

Well, let's just say,

there's no stopping it.

It's chemical.

Will it last?

Who knows?

Point is, I’m a free agent.

He's at perfect liberty to kiss whomever he likes.

I really couldn't care less.

Was I under the impression

he and I would be attending

Slughorn's Christmas party together?

Yes.

Now,

given the circumstances,

I've had to make other arrangements.

Have you?

Yes.

Why?

Well, I just thought,

seeing as neither of us can

go with who we'd really like to,

we should go together as friends.

Why didn't I think of that?

Who are you going with?

Um, it's a surprise.

Anyway, it's you we've got to worry about.

You can't just take anyone.

See that girl over there?

That's Romilda Vane.

Apparently, she's trying to smuggle you

a love potion.

Really?

Hey!

She's only interested in you

because she thinks you're the Chosen One.

But I am the Chosen One.

Okay, sorry.

Um...

kidding.

I just, um...

I'll ask someone I like.

Someone cool.
