Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 18

We were in Snape's Classroom. The Slytherins and Gryffindors were together.
I sat across Harry, Ron and Hermione. Beside me, was Fred and next to him was George.

"This is mad. At this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates." Ron whispered but Snape caught him talking and walked past and slapped Ron over the head.

"Well, us and Neville!" He whispered again.

"But then again he can take himself." Harry whispered back.

"It might interest you to know that Neville's already got someone." I said as Ron gasped.

"Now, I'm really depressed."

Fred nudged me then showed me a paper with writings in it. We both grinned then he handed the note to Ron, it read "Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone!". He read it and whispered to him.

"Who are you going with?" He asked as Fred gave him a 'watch this' look.

He crushed a paper and threw it to Angelina. She looked at him with annoyance then gave a questioning look. Fred then acted of dancing with an invisible partner then mouthed if she'd go to the ball with him. Her face lit up and she mouthed him back saying yes. George grinned at Ron as Fred winked at him. I sat there, anxious about if George was gonna ask me next. To be honest, I was desperate for him to ask me before anyone else did. But sadly, nothing like such came out of his mouth. Guess, I'll just stall and wait for now before I get tired.

"Well, Hermione, you're a girl." Ron turned to her and started which made Hermione mad.

"Oh, well spotted." Hermione sassed

"Come on. It's one thing for a bloke to show up alone. For a girl it's just sad."

"I won't be going alone because believe it or not someone's asked me." She said then got up and handed Snape her essay then walked back to her table to gather her books.

"And I said yes." She stormed off.

"Bloody hell." Ron muttered.

"Charming Ron." I sarcastically said.

"Look. We've just got to grit our teeth and do it. Tonight when we get back to the common room, we'll both have partners. Agreed?" He asked Harry.

"Agreed." Harry replied.

Outside Hogwarts in the yard, I met with Harry who just seperated from Ron.

"Harry." I called him.

"Y/N." He said as I walked to him.

"Are you going to the Owlery?" I asked as he nodded. "Great I was going that way too. I need to send a letter to my parents."

I was walking with in some steps. He reached the top and bumped into Cho who had come around the corner.

"Harry!" She looked at him in surprise.

"Cho!"

"Watch yourself on the stairs, it's a bit icey at the top." Cho warned as she looked behind Harry to see me. "Oh, Hello, Y/N. I was going to come to you."

"Hey, Cho. Why? Do you need anything?" I asked her kindly.

"Not me. Cedric does. He asked me to send you to the yard. He's waiting there for you." She informed as I nodded.

"Ok. I'll be there, thanks." I said and noticed Harry was impatient to talk to Cho.

"I'll be inside Harry." I said giving him a knowing look then disappearing inside.

I took my letter out from my pocket. The letter was about how Rita Skeeter was lying about everything. Her works were full of fabrication and nonsense and how I needed their help to take her down. Also a dress for the ball. Then I wrote my parent's name in the front then handed it to my Owl.
