Yule Ball pt. 1 (George Weasley)

The Yule Ball is the biggest event of the year, especially this year because of the Triwizard tournament. We, also, have more students at the school because of this event so it's an even bigger deal than usual. If you don't have a date, you basically shouldn't go. That's exactly where I was at, at the moment. My two best friends and I were walking to potions talking about the upcoming dance.

"So, Y/n/n, you have a date to the Yule Ball yet?" Freddie asked from my left

"Ugh no, and I'm starting to think I won't have one at this point!" I said exasperatedly

It's not that someone hasn't asked but you were waiting for your long time crush to ask. You have had a crush on George Weasley for as long as you could remember, and the only person that knew was Fred.

"He will ask you, y'know" Freddie whispers in my ear

"At this point, I don't know if I believe you Freddie" I said with a small frown on my face

"He will, he-" Freddie starts but gets interrupted by George yelling for Katie Bell in front of us

"Bell!" George says getting her attention

"Hey Weasley, what's up?" She asked with a smile

"Would you be my date to the yule Ball?" George asked her

You're eyes widen and your heart jumps in your throat as you hold your breath. Please say no, is all you can think

"I would love to George!" She's says excitedly as she gives him a hug.

I turned to look at Fred with tears in my eyes, I open my mouth but nothing comes out and I just walk away.

"Y/N-" Fred yells after you but you just keep walking

George walks over to Fred with a bright smile on his face, "Freddie, she said yes!" He exclaims

Fred turns to George with anger fuming in his light brown eyes, he punches George in the gut and yells in his face, "Why are you such a bloody idiot?!"

Fred storms off as George regains his composure and storms up to their shared dorm, "What the bloody hell was that Fred?!"

"Are you really that stupid George?! Why in the whole of the school did you ask Katie Bell to the ball?" He yells in the tense dorm room. "Why would you ask out Katie when Y/N has been waiting for you to ask her?! She even turned down two dates because she was waiting for you to get up the guts to ask her!"

"Wh-what?" George stuttered

"Merlin George, how much of a bloody git are you?! She's in love with you and you just asked another girl to the ball in front of her!" Fred seething with anger for his best friend

"I- I didn't-" George stuttered for minute before yelling back at Fred "I didn't know she felt that way! Why wouldn't she tell me?! Why do you know?! WHY WOULDN'T SHE TELL ME?!"

Fred takes a step back, looking at his twin with disappointment in his gaze. "It's pretty obvious George, you just need eyes to see how she feels about you." After stating that, Fred walks away to look for you leaving a dumbfounded George sitting on the side of his bed with his head in his hands.

I was sitting under the weeping willow, crying but hoping the cries of the tree were drowning out my own. I didn't notice as a tall figure made their way towards me, until I saw a shadow.

"Hey Y/N" the familiar voice says

I turn to face him after wiping my face and forcing a smile.

"Hey Ced, what are you doing out here?"

"Looking for you actually" he states while scratching the back of his neck

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the yule ball with me?" He asked sheepishly

I looked at him with disbelief in my eyes, "Uh, are you sure you want to go with me?" I ask unsure, "I thought you'd be going with Cho?"

"Oh no, she's going with Harry. I was actually wanting to ask you. I know you are into someone else but I always thought you were a great friend and I think we would have fun together" he said with that charming smile on his face.

I think for a moment, "I'd love to!" I say with the first real smile gracing my features since he found me under the tree.
