• Chapter Fourteen : The Invitation •

[••• ––– •••]

The news died down eventually. It was as though nothing had happened as the days dragged by. It was becoming normal now, the murders. There was still a lot of suspicions ahead of them but as long as they have someone with them, they believed that they are safe.

Harry had been thinking the same, although it was in a complete different reason. He believed that (Y/N) was safe as long as he's around. He might not believed it but she still earned a lot of admirers despite the fact that he was already introduced as the boyfriend ages ago. If it hadn't because of his less time with (Y/N), he could have killed them right away.

Second week through November, the weather was fiercer than it ever had in October. (Y/N)'s first Quidditch game was drawing nearer. It was scheduled on the third Saturday of November, meaning, there was only a week to spend for practices. Ravenclaw's practice had extended into every night, seven o'clock to nine o'clock, as it was planned to be like that (Hufflepuff's practice is in five o'clock to seven o'clock every night as well). With this, her time was constricted with even heavier workloads.

Monday on the game week dragged on and (Y/N) found herself sitting for her Potions class with Gryffindors, yet they haven't arrived yet. She was in the middle of conversation with Padma, Toni, Jill and Andrew to spend the free time while they await for Professor Slughorn and the Gryffindors. They were currently talking about the upcoming match with Hufflepuff.

"I've seen them practice once and their Seeker is quite hot... not as hot as Harry though." said Toni, twirling her wand to her hair.

"Justin, you mean?" Jill asked, giggling.

"Yeah, that guy." Toni said. "He's hella hot and cute at the same time especially when he's sweaty."

"That's disgusting!" Padma reacted.

"It's not!"

"He's a fourth year though." said Andrew in between, grinning at how Toni and Jill scowled at him.

"You're such as wrecker." said Jill, slapping Andrew's arm, which caused the latter to react dramatically and turned to (Y/N).

"Look what they did to me." he said, clutching the arm that Jill had slapped. "(Y/N), you saw that! They're bullying me!"

"No, we're not!" said Toni and Jill together.

"Yes, you were!"

"Weren't!"

"Were!"

(Y/N) and Padma shook their heads. They were just talking about Quidditch a while ago but now, the match seemed to be on the back of their heads. Good thing too, because (Y/N) really needed a distraction.

And speaking of distraction, the door of the dungeon opened and the Gryffindors strode in with loud chatters. (Y/N) smiled when she saw Hermione and Ron came in. They smiled back before they settled on their seats right in front of her.

"Where's Potter?" she whispered over to them.

Hermione turned back and whispered back;

"He was cornered by Professor Snape."

"What did he do again?" (Y/N) asked confusedly.

"Apparently, he hadn't passed his dementors essay yet."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously." nodded Hermione before facing the front again.

(Y/N) sighed and looked over to the chair beside her. She kept on telling Harry that he should do his homework so that they couldn't reach its deadline. It seemed like he wasn't listening to her at all.
