"I bet 5 galleons krums gonna win this," fred said.
"I bet 5 sickles krums gonna win this," george said.
"I bet you 10 galleons that Cedric gonna win," I said, remembering when I helped him in the library.
"That's a lot y/n," george said, "you're willing to lose 10 galleons?"
"Well, I know I'm right so it's you guys who are losing their money."
*****
I was counting my money on the table while fred and george were bickering with each other.
"Melins beard you two, I was just kidding, you can have you money back," I said to them and they immediately pulled it off the table in the common room.
"Yeah alright," they said and I rolled my eyes. They pulled out one of their experiments and showed it to me. I was fairly impressed.
"You guys have fun, I'm going to go see jasper," I said. Fred's head snapped up.
"But it's late," he said, "filch will get you detention."
"Its 5 in the evening."
"Oh um ok alright," he mumbled and george rolled his eyes.
"Way to be discreet," george mumbled and fred shoved him. I walked out of the common room and towards the great lake where jasper and I usually met. I sat down next to one of the trees and looked at the setting sun. I saw jasper leave the Drumstrang boat and he started pacing in front of it, his fist balled up. I frowned at walked up to him.
"Hey jas," I said cautiously and put my hand on his arm. He slightly relaxed and gave me a hug.
"Hey babe," he breathed into my neck.
"Is everything alright?" I asked him, pulling him closer.
"Not exactly," he says, releasing me and pulling me towards one of the trees. We sat down and he pulled my closer. His lips touched mine and I pulled him closer to me. My fingers tangled in his hair and his hands tightened around my waist.
I pulled away and looked him in the eyes. There was sadness and anxiety swirling in his brown orbs. "What's wrong jasper?"
He leaned against the tree bark and his defined stomach caught my attention. Pay attention.
"Dad just sent me a letter," he started and I nodded my head, "and he um, ah i dont know how to say this, he set me up with one of his colleagues daughter who is one of the most important girls in Bulgaria and her father expects me to marry her."
I stared at him for a solid two minutes.
He set him up. He wants him to marry her.
"What?" I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "He wants you to..." I trailed off, a tear spilling from my eye.
"Oh please no," he whispered and pulled me in for a hug. I desperately held onto him. I know it hasn't been a long time but he became a huge part of my life in these last eight months.
"Oh I'm so sorry," I said pulling away and wiping the tears away from my eyes and laughing hollowly, "I suppose i shouldnt have expected more from this anyway. As long as you're happy, im happy too," I said and hesitated slightly, "and I love you, no matter what babe."
I look back into his eyes and the tears are just waiting to spill out. "I love you too," he says and smashes his lips onto mine. I hungrily kiss him back, the darkness around us hiding us from the eyes of the few people still roaming around. My hands slip under his shirt, feeling his hard chest. He tugs at my hair and I gasp. His tounge explores my mouth and I pull him closer. His hands slip down to my waist and slide down to my legs. He squeezes my thigh and i kiss him harder.
We break away, the lack of oxygen affecting us. I didnt want that to end. We look at each other and the smile on his swollen lips says it all. "I love you," he repeats.
"I love you too, and I loved that," I said and sat on his lap. I felt him next to my thigh and I shivered.
"So did I."
"I can tell," I smirk and he smiles back.
"I'm not ashamed about it if I'm honest," he says and I suddenly feel powerful and daring. I scooch closer and place my hand on his upper thigh.
"Really?" I say, forgetting about the bomb he just dropped, my desires getting the better of me. I slowly inch my hand closer and he takes in a sharp breath. Filch will come by any minute now.
"Yes," he breathes, closing his eyes. I kiss him softly, not trusting myself if I go any further.
"Y/n?" I hear a distant voice call. I open my eyes and swear. I get up and brush myself off, jasper doing the same, fixing his hair and tucking in his shirt, and something else. I tie my hair up and call back, "yes?" Fred comes into view, with George at his side and I take a small step away from jasper, knowing that they would beat the pulp out of him if I didnt.
"We were getting worried so we came to look for you," Fred said.
"You more like," george mumbled and fred nudged him.
"I'm alright, just talking with jasper," I said, shrugging my shoulders, remembering the conversation we had. I looked back at him and he was awkwardly standing there and I cracked a smile. "See you later then," I say to him and give him a hug.
"We're not done yet," he whispers in my ear, low enough that the twins dont hear.
"Definately not, for either of those things."
