"New couples this days couldn't get their hands off from each other, aren't they?" commented Cho snidely at the Ravenclaw table on a Monday morning of April. "Look at those two —" She pointed two particular people in the Slytherin table. "— and those two —" She nodded at another particular people in the Gryffindor table. "— and look in front of me." She ended as she stared at the two couple right in front of her.

(Y/N), halfway through shoving a spoonful of scrambled egg to her mouth, frowned at her best friend. She put down the spoon to her plate and stared at Cho inquiringly.

"I was single last year." said (Y/N) bluntly. "Imagine what I felt when you and Cedric got together."

Cho gave the younger girl a bit of an annoyed look but soon chuckled and shook her head.

"Yeah, well, I got your point." she said imploringly. "Just don't make out in front of me —"

"Hey!" said (Y/N) indignantly. "I was fourteen when my eyes got traumatized because you made out with Cedric right in front of my plate!"

"Fine... fine..." stated Cho, defeated, as she pulled on a plate of toast. "I was just trying to tell you to be careful. You're still fifteen. Don't forget what you two did yesterday. You've still got the love mark on your neck."

(Y/N) didn't reply and merely consumed herself over a mashed potato. Harry, who was listening on her side, took a slight look over Cedric, who also happened to be sitting next to Cho, with a defeated look. Cedric shrugged at him and took a silent glance over his N.E.W.T.s notes.

(Y/N) looked down to her wristwatch and, to her great annoyance and sorrow, her first class will start in ten minutes.

"History of Magic's starting soon. I'll better go." she informed Cho and Cedric, eyes not leaving her watch.

She grabbed three strawberries from a plate and pulled her bag to sling it on her shoulder. Harry immediately followed suit as he pulled on his own bag hastily.

"Go straight to your class not to a broom cupboard." reminded Cho teasingly over (Y/N)'s shoulder, Cedric sniggering beside her behind a thick notes of D.A.D.A. notes.

"Oh, shut up!" said (Y/N) irritably. She darted them a glare before she strode out in between the table of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

"Is she on period?" Cedric asked Harry.

"She is." said Harry, grinning sheepishly to Cho and Cedric. "I'll get going." he added and left them to pursue his grumpy girlfriend.

Harry found (Y/N) after seconds in the right corridor outside the Great Hall. He hurried off to keep up with her. The moment he reached her, he slipped off his hands to hers and held it tightly. However, the thing Harry weren't expecting was that she started glowering on him.

"This is all your fault!" snapped (Y/N), shooting him angry glares.

"What?" Harry asked confusedly. "What did I do?"

"Why did you have to give me a mark?"

Harry stared at her, amused. She really never fails to impress him in any way and aspect.

"Well..." he said testily, grinning while looking over their way to (Y/N)'s class. "For other blokes to know that you weren't single any longer. For them to know who really owns you." He grinned down at her blushing face. "Besides, you're the one who started it. I just paid back."
