Astra could barely sleep. All night thoughts of George reading her letter and the game of truth or dare where she had kissed Cedric and Oliver kept creeping into her mind.

She got out of bed and put on some baggy jeans and a comfy jumper then she headed down to get breakfast.

She entered the great hall and smiled as she noticed both Cedric and Oliver staring at her. She walked to her table and grabbed a piece of toast before walking back out of the hall.

She had to find Hermione and tell her about the letter before she left for Hogsmeade. She went to the library, Hermione is always there. She enter the library at sat across from Hermione.

"Don't ask any questions but if George gives you a letter and tells you to give it to A can you give it to me." Astra smiled

"What. I mean yes I will but what." Hermione gave her a confused look

"Ok so I might have written him a love letter and I'm waiting on a reply."

"A love letter, I didn't know you liked him, I can't say I'm surprised though." She laughed quietly

"Wait no I don't like him it was a dare I thought it would be interesting to see what he would say." She smiled

"Are you sure you don't like him at all?" Hermione joked

"Well..." she paused "nope I definitely don't like him, anyway I'm going to get butter beer with Cedric." She smiled

"Cedric Diggory, wow I didn't see that one coming. I hope it goes well."

"So do I." Astra laughed "ok remember to give me George's letter, I've got to go."

"I'll remember." Hermione smirked

Astra arrived at Hogsmeade with the rest of her year and she wondered off alone. Her first stop was honeydukes she loved the intoxicating smell and that's where Fred and George always pulled pranks.

She took a chocolate frog off the stack and went to pay, but something caught her eye. There was a slight shimmer of something just above her eye line. It looked like string, she followed along to see two smug faces looking down on their creation. She followed it to the other end to see a bucket over the jelly bean stand.

Hah a classic. Never gets old. She smiled to herself

She stepped forward to watch the rope disappear, the bucket fell on a bunch of 4th year hufflepuffs and they were covered in green slime. Astra let out a small laugh before looking back up to where Fred and George were sat. The two boys smiled at each other and then fled the scene.

Astra went to the counter and paid for her chocolate frog then she headed to the three broomsticks to see if Cedric was there.

She smiled shyly as she saw Cedric standing with his friends. He looked away from his group and watched her as she walked towards him. Her stomach flipped, he made it seem like she was the only one there.

"Hey Cedric." She said with confidence

"Astra." He smiled as he opened the door for her.

They sat down in the crowded pub and they each ordered a butter beer. They sat awkwardly for a moment then Astra broke the silence.

"So why did you ask me to come here?"

"Well I guess its because I can't stop thinking about you." He paused for a second as the drinks were brought to the table.

"Ever since that kiss during truth or dare you've been stuck in my head." He smiled awkwardly

Astra stared in confusion. "Really, I wow i don't even know what to say."
