"I'll figure something out. But right now... I need to rest" I said. She nods her head. I head to my room and change my clothes. I've taken a shower before the little celebration earlier. I let myself fall onto the bed. I close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep.

-The Upcoming Yule Ball-

Y/N P.O.V

There will be a Yule Ball in a few days. Honestly, I don't feel like going. But I know I have to because I'm one of the Champions. So... I don't really have much of a choice.

Unlike many others, I'm not actively trying to find a partner for the ball. Well... because they're coming for me. Lots of the boys are asking me to the ball. I refuse them politely. I don't know who I wanna go with.

I'm sure either Edmund or Draco will be arguing on who should be taking me to the ball. Since they both likes me... and I'm not looking forward to that. They can both be annoying sometimes.

We're now in my dad's class. He's giving us a task to do. I just silently write down my answers. I can hear Harry and Ron discussing how they haven't got a partner for the ball.

"Hey, Y/N?" Harry calls out to me. I turn to look at him. "Hm? What is it, Harry?" I asked, as I stopped writing. "Do you have a partner to the ball?" He asked. "Why?" I asked. "Just asking..." he said. I lift an eyebrow as I stare at him. "Are you asking me to the ball? You're not suppose to go with your sibling, Harry. It's weird" I said.

"No... I just wanna know if you have a partner or not" he said. I shrug my shoulders and shakes my head. "Nope..." I said. "And you're not worried?" He said. I shake my head.

"Honestly, I don't really care if I ended up going to the ball alone" I said. He frowns at what I said. "Why don't you just go with Edmund?" He asked. I let out a sigh at the mention of Edmund.

We haven't been talking ever since he kissed me. I don't know how to face him. My view on him just changed, now that I know he sees me as more than a friend.

I flinch when my dad suddenly appear and pushed his head to face his paper. I turn to look at Dad to see him giving me a stern expression. "Uh... sorry, Professor..." I said, in a low voice. I turn around to face forward and focus on the task again.

"What happened?" Hermione said. I turn to look at her and sighs. She must be asking what happen to me when Harry mentioned Edmund's name. "It's kind of complicated, 'Mione..." I said.

"Why?" She asked. "Draco kissed me... he also said that he likes me. "I said. Her eyes widened. "What??" She said. I just sigh again. "But that's not all..." I said. She stays silent, waiting for me to start talking again.

"Edmund saw everything... and kissed me as well. He said that he likes me just like Draco did. But I felt so upset, because they're treating me as if I'm some kind of prize to win. They didn't even consider my feelings. Heck! They kissed me without permission!"I said. She frowns and wrap her arms around me. I can hear her sighing.

"I'm sorry you got troubled by them, Y/N... boys can be very insensitive sometimes. As much as I disliked Draco... I'm sure that he's being genuine with you. I have seen the way he looks at you. As for Edmund... well, that guy have been completely head over heals for you" she said. I let out a huffed at what she just said.

"You're not exactly helping, you know that? Now I'm even more confused" I said. She covers her mouth in embarrassment. "I did? Ooops. Sorry..." she said. I let out a sigh and giggle softly.

"You may be confused now. But I'm sure it'll become clearer for you overtime" she said. I nod my head at what she said. "Yeah... hopefully" I said. She smiles softly fat me. I smile back at her.

"What about you, Hermione? Do you already have a partner for the ball?" I asked. She blushes at what I said. "Y-Yeah..." he said. "Who?!" I said, excitedly. "Victor..." she said. "Victor... Victor Krum?" I said. She smiles and nods her head.

"Awee... that's so cute! You two would look cute..." I said, grinning. The redness on her cheeks get even darker by my comment. "You really think so?" She said. I nod my head.

"Yep... of course. he looks like he's a real gentleman" I said, smiling softly at her. I can see a slight sadness in her eyes. I know she was waiting for someone else. But the boy she's waiting for is so dense.

I hear footsteps coming towards me. I turn my head and sighs. "Edmund..." I said. He stops when he is right in front of me. "Y/N... can we talk? Please..." he said, pleadingly.

"Give him a chance..." Hermione whispers in my ear. I turn to look at her. She gives me a nod. I let out a sigh and nod my head. I turn to look at Edmund who is staring at me with a hopeful gaze.

"Alright, fine... let's go somewhere" I said. He smiles and gently grabs my hand. He pulls me along. I turn to Hermione and waves at her. She waves back. I just turn to follow wherever Edmund is taking me to.

We stop near a large tree. "What?" I said. He turns to look at me. "Look, Y/N... I'm so sorry. I know that was a very wrong move. I've been so insensitive. I... I should have asked for your consent giving you a kiss like that" he said. I nod my head. "Yeah... you should have" I said.

"I'm sorry... will you please forgive me?" He said. I lean my back against the tree. "I don't know. Your action just changed my view about you. My feelings are complicated now..." I said. He looks at me with a sad gaze. I turn my head to look away from him.

I feel a hand gently slipping in mine. "I know that you're confused right now. But... can't you at least give me a chance? Maybe starting by going to the ball with me?" He said. I turn to look at him. He stares at me with a hopeful gaze. I open my mouth, when someone comes in between us.

"Malfoy" Edmund hissed, glaring at Draco. Draco just ignores him completely and focus his attention on me. "Don't go with him, Y/N. Go to the ball with me instead" he said.

"No Y/N... go to the ball with me" Edmund said. He outstretch his hand. "Y/N..." Draco said, with his hand outstretched as well. I look at them back and forth. I turn to look at both of their hands. What am I going to to do now? Who's hand should I take?

A/N: oh ho hoo~ what will Y/N do now? Will she choose Edmund or Draco? Or... will she ended up going with a different boy instead? Stay tune for more!
