Who Are You Taking To The Ball?

[Silvana Mandeville]

Out of all the characters in the Harry Potter universe, if you had to choose one as your dance partner, who would you take to the ball and why?

As for me, I’d love to go with Draco Malfoy, simply because he’s one of my favorite characters. Or maybe one of the Weasley twins! I can’t imagine getting bored at an event with them, especially with the mischievous pranks they’d likely pull. I’d love to be part of the chaos, watching all the shocked faces around the room.

Yes, I know I’ve posted this before on an activity, but I never got around to answering it, and I’m sure many others didn’t either! So why not give it another try?

If I were the type of person to go to a ball, I would likely take Neville Longbottom. He is polite and soft spoken. I dislike crowds and loud activities, and I don't think Neville is the type of person that would become upset if we hung out at a table a bit away from the dance floor, instead of being in the middle of everything.

I'm so tempted to say Delphini - at least my head canon (alternate universe!) version of her where she found her Hogwarts letter one night in very late August, Apparated out of Euphemia Rowle's place (and just outside Diagon Alley) via pure anger/accidental magic, and found her way to her closest living family, Andromeda Black Tonks and her grandson Teddy - as they were shopping for books... in this universe she'd likely be four years ahead of - and three and a half years older than - my character.

But out of canon versions of characters don't count, do they? I'd then be tempted to say Bellatrix - except that she's not only a full half century older than my character... but died before he was born! We don't know a lot of gorgeous canon Slytherin women born around the turn of the millennium... Victoire is both taken and not a Slytherin, for example - well, let's go with Delphini anyway! She's a suitable age and temperament for my character (not counting her pining after a father who never loved her), very pretty and charismatic... I just need to find a way to charm the Rowle influence off of her!

I absolutely think that I would take Cedric Diggory. He is humble, gentlemanly, and quite the talented wizard, since he managed to equal Harry in the end of the Triwizard tournament without any orchestrated help. He is also quite handsome and forms quite the arm-candy. I love to talk to people about how they got to their achievements and there would therefore be a lot to talk about with Cedric. Also, I have heard that Hufflepuffs have the best taste in food. I would love to experiment-taste food with him. Besides, I have a thing for the Cedric-like humility.
But, since Cedric is dead, I think that my next best choice would be Ron. Ron is brave and chivalrous, and I can count on him to stand by me when I am in a difficulty, irrespective of how useful he makes himself. He may have the emotional range of a teaspoon, but he is a wonder of a human being.
Lastly, my third best choice would be one of the Weasley twins, for the same reason that Silvana quoted above.

I think I would actually really love to take someone like Ginny to the ball. She seems like she would be really liven up a party while still being an attentive and lovely date. Otherwise I think I would go with Neville, he seems to be just as enthused about dancing as I am! Besides, Neville is an absolute sweetheart, it would be a delight to go with someone so caring.
