Hufflepuffs Melody - O.W

10 - The Party

Not for the first time, Melody found herself sat in front of a mirror trying to make herself look good. 'Mel stop stressing,' Liv told her, 'you look great,'

'I don't know, I don't think it's good enough,' she worried.

'Hurry up,' Cedric shouted from downstairs,

'let's go,' Alex added.

'She's being difficult,' Olivia shouted back, the pair sighed and walked up to them to find Melody collapsed on top of a pile of clothes.

'Oh dear,' Cedric commented,

'Everything looks weird on me,' she moaned making the boys laugh,

'Fix your hair,' Cedric commanded, 'we'll choose your outfit just brush your hair for goodness sake,'

'She's nervous about seeing her boyfriend,' Alex teased which resulted in him getting a whack on the head. Melody, however, did obey and fixed her frizzy hair putting on the jeans and shirt Cedric chucked at her and rushing out of the common room with some other Hufflepuffs.

Although Melody loved the Hufflepuff common room she did love the way the Gryffindors common room made her feel, it was so warm and cosy. The sofas circled around the fire, it made the room feel like a place for a big family to sit down and chat.

She walked in the room with a smile on her face, Oliver froze in his tracks, the twins laughed at how smitten the lad seemed, of course, he hadn't realised this yet.

'Decided what you're gonna do about Fawley yet?' George asked.

'I don't know yet mate,' he admitted,

'shag or date?' Fred asked,

'Both?' Lee butted in making the three laugh slightly at him, 'Go talk to her idiot.' George pushed him towards the portrait hole,

'Alright Fawley,' he greeted, 'can I get you a drink?'

'Sure,' she smiled at him, he looked nice, not that she'd tell him that.

'Glad you could come and celebrate,' he beamed at her,

'Are you going to come party with me when I win the cup?'

'You'll be partying with me lass,' he shot back his crooked smile on show.

'We'll see,' she winked at him walking over to the centre of the room, 'you gonna dance with me or not?'

'Whatever you want lass.' The pair spent their time laughing and dancing singing their hearts out, everyone watching them couldn't help but smile at them. They were so alive with each other practically glowing as they talked about everything and nothing. Their laughter rang out louder than the music as they jumped around drinking more than was probably sensible.

'Right,' Fred Weasley announced to the common room which was not as full as it used to be. 'It's time for a game,' he was met with cheers as the music turned down and everyone sat themselves down in a circle on the sofas Melody sat a little bit too close to Oliver.

'Truth or Dare.' George announced to the group, the drunken group cheered once again and settled down Fred placed his wand in the middle and span it around until it landed on Penelope Clearwater,

'truth or dare?' Fred asked,

'Dare,' she replied confidently,

The group was silent for a moment trying to think of one until Percy spoke up, 'kiss me,' he said in what he hoped was a confident voice but those who know him could tell he was nervous. No one spoke as she stood up and pulled him with him kissing him softly on the lips. The room burst into cheers led by Alex. Melody pointed at the twins who were frozen shell shocked at the sight of their perfect prefect Percy making out with someone in front of all of them.
