I was sitting in the common room, reading a book I borrowed from the library. I had lit a couple candles so I could read at this time at night. I'm starting to think I might have a sleeping problem.
Jasper suddenly came to mind and I closed my book. He's going to get married. I cant even imagine getting married at 18, although I know it is pretty normal. He didnt look happy about it at all, I mean of course he didnt but there was something off about it.
A tear slipped from my eye and I pulled my knees closer to my chest. I wrapped my arms around them and cried. I didnt make any noise, afraid someone might hear. I blew my nose into a couple tissues and wiped away my tears. I'm not going to cry. We aren't over just yet.
I heard footsteps coming down from the boys dorm and looked up.
"Freddie?"
"Oh Hey y/n, what are you doing up?"
"I think I may have a sleeping problem," I say, laughing slightly. "You?"
"I couldn't sleep either," he says, plopping down next to me. I smile at him and he frowns.
"Were you crying?" He asks, pulling me in for a hug. I hug him back and I contemplate telling him about jasper.
"Yeah," I mumble.
"Why? What's wrong?" He says worried, looking me in the eyes. The memory comes back one more time and tears well up again.
"Well, my, basically, jaspers dad set him up with one of the most important girls in Bulgaria, and her father expects him to marry her," I say, taking a tissue and drying my tears.
"I'm gonna beat his ass," fred mumbles angrily and I shake my head.
"No you're not, I'm gonna talk it out with him," I say holding his hand. "Its not his fault anyway."
"Just let me know if you do need to beat him up," he says and lies down on the couch, his head on my lap.
"Ok," I laugh.
"Who's this girl anyway?" He asks and I shrug.
"We'll talk about it, and I'll tell you guys about it, dont worry."
I pulled a blanket off one of the armchairs and put it over the both of us.
"So what's up with you and angelina?" I ask, noticing that they were spending a lot of time together recently.
"Nothing really, I felt something for her during the ball, but after that it isn't really happening again," he says.
"Did you tell her?"
"I want to but I don't know how she feels so I dont want to ruin our friendship," he says distantly as if thinking of something else.
"Well I think you should tell her," I say, "cause if you dont then shes just going to feel like you played her, so it's better if you do," I finish.
"Yeah alright," he says.

Jasper told me to meet him outside the Drumstrang ship this evening by owl, so I quickly got ready and walked outside. He was already standing there when I reached so I walked right up to him.
"Heu babe," i said.
"Hey," he said pulling me in for a hug. I hugged him back and inhaled his scent. "Let's go inside."
"I didnt know others were allowed inside," I said pulling away.
"Oh yeah the guys bring people in all the time, professor karakoff doesn't really care anymore," he says, pulling me along holding my hand.
