me:

I can't believe I forgot that!  I do like that part very much; it does show some
backbone, and the fact she doesn't go back on a deal just because a better one
might happen to come along.  And it was kind of a "serves Harry and Ron right
for being such weenies about asking girls out" kind of moment that made me
laugh.  Neville had managed to ask two different girls before Harry and Ron
could get it together to ask anyone!  (I love Neville, BTW.)
