dates

"MONA, WAIT UP" mona turned around to face the person addressing her, finding herself standing face to face with a pair of deep brown eyes.

mona uncontrollably smiled at the kind Hufflepuff in front her as he attempted to catch his breath "hi Amos, how are you?"

"im fine than you for asking" the boy was visibly nervous, he scratched the back of his neck trying to find the words he's looking for. "hey listen mona i was wondering you know, since theres a Hogsmeade trip this weekend, i don't know, i just thought maybe if you-"

mona laughed at the boy, not in a mocking way but more how cute she thought it was to her. the boy went silent as he listened to her laugh, he thought it was beautiful, he found himself staring at the girl in front of him with rosy cheeks, completely forgetting what he was saying.

"are you asking me on a date Amos diggory?" mona asked as she saw the boy fumble over his words.

"i- well yes i suppose i am" he chuckled and looked down as an attempt to conceal his ever growing blush.

"well then i suppose i would love that" mona mocks but amos let out a breath he didn't know he was holding at the girls words "great, yeah that's amazing so uh ill pick you up at the Gryffindor common room at 10?" he says walking backwards right into a group of first years

mona laughs as he quickly apologized to the small children "10 sounds great" "great well ill see you then"

mona just nodded at the boy as he started walking away, noticing the way theres a happy skip in his steps making her blush.

she was daydreaming about what just happened when a ball of blonde hair came crashing onto the redhead its laughter, mona looked up at the sound of more people laughing to notice Mary and lily trying to conceal their laughter.

"ow ok that hurt more than i thought it would" mona heard from next to her.

"really? you thought crashing us both to the ground would be like landing on a cloud did you marls?" mona spoke softly with laughter

marlene just makes a mocking face as she grabbed Mary's hand that was held out for her as mona took lily's

"sooooooo what were you and diggory giggling about?" lily asked nudging mona "yeah that was no quick hi how are you, was it??"

mona just blushed and turned to walk into the great hall.

"OH MERLIN HE ASKED YOU OUT DIDNT HE?!?" Marlene practically yelled for the whole school to hear making mona cringe as she continued her walk to the marauders

"merlin did you say yes?" lily asked with a giant smile, lily knows about the girls previous crush on the huffpuff boy, mainly cause the two would stay up all night gossiping about it.

"ok MAYBE he did, and MAYBE i said yes"

"MERLIN THIS IS HUGE" marlene whisper screamed while griping on to the girls hand practically jumping from excitement

"what's huge?" asked peter only hearing the end of the girls conversation, making the boys laugh "i got something that's huge if you know what i mean" Sirius said winking at marlene as she fake gagged

mona took her place between her glasses wearing friend and Sirius as he and marlene continue to bicker.

"ok jokes aside what's huge?" Remus said smiling as the other two boys look at her in anticipation

"amos diggory asked me out" she said in a hushed voice. "sorry what was that?"

she took a deep breath in. "Amos Diggory had asked me out on a date" she looked up at the boys shocked faces, even Sirius stopped what he was talking about with marls and swiftly turned to look at mona, looking for any hint of a joke in her face.

"oh you have to be joking" Sirius faced james as they both looked at each other almost as if their talking without saying anything "why would i be joking?" "ignore them Red, there just jealous because now theres another person they have to share you with" spoke Remus sending a warning glare to the boys

"wait but i thought he was dating that Hanna girl?" peter pipes up while fiddling with the fork in his hand and to be fair most people would say that, even mona thought so

"no they broke up when she moved to France remember?" Remus the all knowing said

"huh that's sad, they were like perfect together" peter said gaining a kick to the leg by james "yeah well guess not and now lets talk" he said looking directly at mona merlin its like he's looking in my soul

"he better be a complete gentleman to you and by that i mean he holds the doors open he is polite, he does not drink or smoke and if he so much as think of you inappropriately i will hex him until he-"

"ALRIGHT i think that's quite enough" mona tried stopping it but Sirius picks up where james left " yeah trust me my family is full of Legilimens so you know, im pretty much an expert in it" he tries to gloat but everyone knew legilimeny requires a lot of focus and self control.. something Sirius clearly lacks.

"alright as fun as this had been im tired" mona said getting up from her seat, looking around at her friends saying goodnight "wait mona you didn't eat anything?" peter pointed out

"i snuck into the kitchen and ate before so im quite full" she laughs and walks to the dorm room knowing full well she was lying.
