In your Dreams (G.W.)

"You will regret messing with me"

Cedric sat surrounded by everyone except Al. "How the hell does Chang find you still enticing with that face of yours?" gagged Val making all of them laugh. "She's really got a thing for you Ceddie. Keeps coming back every chance she gets" smiled Y/N. "What is all the hoo-haa around this Yule Ball thing?" asked Cedric sipping his potion."Oh it's like a formal dance . You have to take a date with you to it. Everyone's been crazy since Dumbledore announced it. Girls moving in packs and guys not finding enough ways to ask them out" scoffed Val. "I think that Parkinson girl was trying to hit on me" said Marc wondering. Fiona's face fell at once. "Oh! you are a troll, Marc. Anyone who talks to you nicely isn't hitting on you" teased Val. "George Weasley should've run through that door and asked you out by now. Where is he?" asked Cedric. Y/N shrugged. Honestly, she didn't know what had gotten into George lately, he would become awkward as soon as she would come into his close proximity. He would change his direction seeing her. She hadn't got more than a nod and an awkward smile from George in the past week. "Did he ask someone out? I knew that Weasel" stood up Val ready to march and rip George's head off. "No! not - not that I know of. I mean, they are pretty famous. Fred asking Angelina is the talk of the whole castle. If he had asked someone, we would've already known by now" said Y/N looking at her feet. She knew nothing was official between them , but, a part of her wanted him to ask her out , badly. 

"Don't sulk,Y/N. That Weasel didn't deserve you anyway. We will get you a date", said Val putting an arm around Y/N's shoulder as they walked out of the Infirmary leaving Cedric with Cho ,who had rushed to see him after class. Y/N smiled and nodded. The truth was she had already turned down four proposals. "Hey Marcus" said Pansy Parkinson as she passed by with her giggling friends. "What the hell was that?" exclaimed Al, joining the group. "Do you believe me now?" smirked Marc. "Umm.... I've to go to the library. See you guys later" said Fiona, dashing past Marc. "What has got her knickers in a twist?" said  Marc . "You really are a trool, aren't you?" said Y/N nodding. "What's it got to do-" Marc was cut off. "Where  have you been?" asked Val turning to Alfea who looked a bit flushed. "Oh! Professor Mcgonagall called us to lecture about how not to behave like a  'babbling,bumbling band of Babboons' and how swans and Lions resided in all the girls and boys. She made Ron Weasley dance with her" chuckled Al. "Oh! and Lee asked me to the ball" she said excited almost jumping. "EEEEEE...... I am so happy for you" Val and Y/N hugged Al. "I think I should ask Pansy out" wondered Marc. Val pinned Marc to the wall with her elbow on his neck in the bat of an eyelid. "You are going to do no such thing. Are you really that blind? Fiona clearly has feelings for you, you big mountain troll. I am amazed, how . But, she does" "And you are going to plan something special for her and ask her out. OKAY?" Y/N threatened Marcus. "Blimey, I love her too ,okay. But-but, I didn't know that she would ever feel the same about me . S-so , I never dared" said Marc rubbing his neck where Val's elbow was. "We are as amazed as you, mate" chuckled Al.

Marc had indeed taken their suggestion and help to drive away Pince for an hour to ask Fiona out in the library the following night. He had decorated the place and had asked Fiona out at their usual spot in the library. She had said Yes. He had also asked her to be his girlfriend as they both confessed their love for each other and were officially a couple now. "You guys should've seen the effort he had put in. Decorating our table with all the quotes he remembered I liked" cooed Fiona at breakfast. Val gagged at this. Penny had asked Val out in the middle of a full corridor by showering her with roses and 'making a scene'. Y/N's frustration with George was increasing each passing day. As she was lost in this thought, Bitsy dropped two large packets on the table. "This must be our dresses" said Y/N opening the letter that was attached to it. "Our dresses?" said Fiona. "Yeah! Mum insisted on buying you one" said Y/N starting to read the letter. "But-" "Oh shush! Fembeck, you can come to our estate and help my parents move out this summer. Okay" said Y/N not looking up from the letter. Y/N's mother was not keeping well since last summer. So, the family had decided to shift to London where her father worked. Her mother's presence with her niece was proving to be helpful to Emily and her brother as well. The gang knew about this decision. Cedric was heartbroken initially, but was coming to terms with it. "That would be great" said Fiona. "Apparently little Emma has taken after me, mum writes" said Y/N as she looked at her friends excitedly. "My niece is a witch!" she exclaimed. "Oh! Hogwarts will have to bear the brunt of another Y/L/N. Not fair" nodded Val ,chuckling. "She burnt the curtains of her nursery the other day , when she woke up crying ,apparently " read Y/N from the letter. "She also went with mum and Emily to buy us these dresse. Her first shopping trip it seems" smiled Y/N from the letter.
