Safe House

Forty one

"We've outdone ourselves, ladies" Daphne giggled as all three of the girls stepped away from me.

"I look bloody ridiculous" I groaned, covering my body.

Pansy had picked me out a dark green silk dress that hugged me tightly. She said that for a red head, green is my colour.

Daphne had done neutral make up whilst Tracey tackled my hair, putting it into a cute low bun, strands of hair shaping my face.

I blushed at their comments.

"Should probably get going then" I sighed

"You better give us an detailed explanation on everything" Daphne told me, dropping her smile, the threat strong in her voice.

"Okay, okay" I put my hands up in surrender "I promise" I said, a giggle slipping out.

I made my way out of the dorm and towards the common room, being careful in my heels, hoping I don't fall on my face.

Stepping into the crowded common room, Blaise spotted me, he was dressed in his suit

"Looking good, Weasley" He grinned at me, grabbing my hand and twirling me.

"Could say the same about you, Zabini" I replied.

"I'm off to find my beautiful date" He waved me off, nodding at the two who were now watching us.

"I'm still mad that you didn't even tell me"

"Not allowed to talk to you, remember?" he wiggled his eyebrows before leaving.

I looked over to the sofa, feeling two stares on me.

Theo gave me the satisfaction of seeing his jaw on the floor as he stared me down, I saw the jealousy in his eyes, knowing I was going to the party with Harry, it made me giddy inside and my knee's weak. Malfoy was also looking me up and down, but he had a blank look. He then turned towards his best friend, rolling his eyes before smacking him around the head.

Theo broke out of his "trance?" shooting glare's at Malfoy, I took that time to walk out and find Harry.

He waited for me in the entrance hall.

"Potter" I curtsied.

"Wow, Weasley, maybe I'm after the wrong sister" he joked

"What?"

"N-nothing! Nothing!" He said all too quickly.

the corner of my lip curved into a smirk

"Do you like my little sister, Potter?" I asked him.

His cheeks gave me the answer I was looking for as they turned a deep red, instead of answering the question he rubbed the back of his neck. "Lets just go" He said, walking in the direction of Slughorns office.

"After all this time she's been crushing on you, and you finally feel the same and she's moved on" I taunted, I couldn't help myself.

"Shut up! You can't tell Ron! I mean it Keira" He said.

"Yes, Harry, I know, I'm not stupid" I rolled my eyes.

"So how does your not-boyfriend feel about me as your date?" he looped his arm through mine as we walked.

"How would I know? Haven't talked to him, in I lost count how long" I lied "He broke up with me, remember, so it's none of his business"

"Did he look jealous?"

"Yes! his face was priceless" I grinned

"Hermione took Mcclaggen" Harry told me as we neared Slughorn's office
