regret, harry potter (rewriting)

"Davina this is hopeless, the yule ball is around the corner and I have no date yet," said Aurelia frustratedly.

"It's not my fault you rejected every guy who asked you," Davina sighed, then she saw Aurelia staring at Harry Potter. "He's not worth it Rellie."

"I know," Aurelia huffed.

Later on that day, Aurelia was walking down the hallway with Davina when she bumped into someone's chest, she looked up and she saw a certain redhead.

"Not a hello?" Fred smirked and raised his eyebrows.

"Sorry," Aurelia mumbled embarrassedly. As she was about to walk away, Fred called her.

"I'll see you later," Davina winked at her, leaving her alone with Fred.

"Hey Aurelia, do you have a date yet? For the yule ball I mean," asked Fred.

"No," she answered.

"What? I've heard tons of guys have asked you already," Fred frowned at her.

"Yeah, but I don't really know them or know them at all," she shrugged..

"Oh what a lucky day, you know me!" Fred grinned at her. "Do you want to go to the ball with me?"

She was shocked. She didn't know what to answer. Harry would never ask her ever and she would rather go with someone she knows.

"Sure," she answered.

"Well, I'll see you at the ball, Clemonte," as he kissed her right hand which made her blush.

The whole night she had so much fun, she didn't even glance to look at Harry, not even once. Fred was surprisingly a really great dancer and a gentleman as well. By the end of the night, Fred brought her to sit at the bench outside.

He pulled out something from his pocket and it looked like a box. "I got you this," as he gave her the box, "open it."

She opened it and it was a beautiful necklace which she knows he got from his Hogsmeade trip, because she saw this necklace on her last Hogsmeade trip. The necklace has a tiny pendant which changes color depending on her mood.

"I-"

"You don't have to say anything. Do you want me to put it on you?" he offered.

"Yes."

Then she put her hair on her shoulder which exposed her neck and back which allowed him to put the necklace.

"It's beautiful Fred," she said as she examined her necklace.

"A beautiful necklace for a beautiful girl," he smiled at her.

They both stared at each other until Aurelia broke it off.

"I know you like Harry," he suddenly said. "I'm not asking you for anything, I just want to spend this night with you."

"It's the best night of my life Fred, thanks," she smiled gratefully at him.

She looked at the necklace in her hand remembering one of the best nights of her life. She started to tear up without noticing. Her and Fred weren't the closest but she knew he liked her in her fourth year. She didn't expect Fred to ever leave this earth this young.

The whole day she was hollow. She obviously told Alex why she's like this right now because she told him everything. Harry noticed this and kept an eye on her the whole day.
