"Don't be offended, Cho, but you look horrible." greeted Pansy as (Y/N) and Cho approached her.

(Y/N) giggled while Cho rolled her eyes. They were in the Black Lake with a picnic blanket under them. They decided to have a picnic for that Friday night before the Ravenclaw team's try out. It was Cho's idea because she knew she needed to unwind, only after spending the first few weeks in the library and not anywhere else.

"You need makeover." Pansy added, combing Cho's hair with her fingers. "You haven't got time to powder your face ever since Cedric left Hogwarts."

"That is because I have no one to impress with." said Cho, pulling the comb from (Y/N)'s hand and started combing her hair. "Cedric's not here, right?"

"You're whipped." said Pansy, shaking her head. "Anyway, where are the others?"

"Luna's with Ginny, as usual." said (Y/N), sitting down on the blanket. "They're trying to start studying for O.W.L.s. The Gryffindors are on their way... How about Draco and Blaise?"

"They went down to the kitchen to smuggle food." said Pansy as she stared at her nails. "You know, they're both good at it."

(Y/N) sniggered softly by that. It was true. Draco and Blaise were so good at sneaking to the point that they could actually ditch an on-going class without anyone noticing. A real Slytherin indeed.

"Listen, I just remembered... I've got some tea to spill." said Cho with a voice of eagerness.

She started talking about what had happened on the library a few hours ago. (Y/N) and Pansy were good audiences as they laughed on the perfect timing and gasped on the right place.

"... I couldn't help myself after, they were all embarrassed when I walked in on them!" exclaimed Cho, her hands on her stomach due to too much laughter. "I've always thought that there was something in between them."

"Me too." said Pansy, her voice were unstable. She too was clutching her stomach. "I mean, let's not be hypocrite. I always thought that Michael's a bisexual and he likes Theodore. Oh! I have something to use for a blackmail to Theo now!"

"Actually, I saw them together after the Slytherin team's try out." said (Y/N). She was now laying on Cho's lap as the older girl pulled on a book from her own bag. "You know, Theo actually got in the team as a Chaser and I saw Michael cheering for him after Draco announced that Theo got in. That was a bit suspicious."

"Ginny and Luna's gone off and dated each other and now, it's Theo and Michael." Pansy counted off with her fingers. "I wonder who's going to be next."

"Next what?" said a voice from behind them.

Cho and Pansy looked behind while (Y/N) merely shifted her head to have an upside down view of Hermione, Ron and Harry, who were all walking towards them. The raven-haired boy, being a simp, grinned at (Y/N) broadly.

"We were just talking about the interesting couples around Hogwarts." said Cho, beckoning them to sit down. "I really loved seeing them around the castle. Apparently, they were trying to hide themselves but nah... they won't just hide anything to anyone."

"What do you mean by 'interesting couples'?" Ron asked as he and Hermione settled themselves on the other side of Pansy.

"Oh, come on. Be open-minded, Ronald." said Pansy, clicking her fingers in front of Ron. "Gay couples? Bi couples? Do you ever heard of that?"
