I couldn't sleep all night, thinking about Mattheo.

I still do wonder why he suddenly asked me to the Ball, well, not like I'm complaining, I mean, he is pretty- I should call him that, pretty boy.

And before I expected, it was time to get up and leave for breakfast.

I got ready quickly, putting on my shirt, skirt and robes, my robes were yellow and I liked that, I was proud of my house.

This time it was my turn to walk to Ravenclaw Tower, where I find Luna coming out with Hermione and Ginny waiting outside.

They all wave at me and I smile back.

As we walk down I pull Hermione back "Are you going with Ron?" I whisper

"No, he doesn't want to.." She looks slightly sad then sees my expression "Oh! Because no one but you and Harry know about- us."

I nod back

"Well, get ready to be asked by LOTS of boys today, girls!" Ginny says "Though I'm going with Dean!" She grins

"I don't know who to go with.." Hermione says

"My bet's on Krum asking you out." Luna says

"Luna, we both know that's not happening." Hermione says then whispers "Ron would flip.." Under her breath

"What?" Ginny asks

"Nothing!" Hermione replies "What about you, Aura?" She asks

I stutter a little "Uhh- um- I-I don't know yet." I nod while putting up 2 thumbs ups.

"I feel like someone's already asked you." Luna says

"No!" I say a little too fast

"Well, guess we'll find out, won't we!" Ginny winks

I nod slowly as we make it to the Great Hall.

✧✫❦✫✧

And breakfast was over.

I, however, forgot to eat and was glancing around the hall for a certain pair of chocolate brown eyes and meet them as I leave sending butterflies to my stomach.

No, don't fall in love..

But I can help it.

I walk out with the girls and realise that Mattheo's group is also walking out.

As we do though, I see Seamus Finnagan coming up to us.

He stops in front of us.

"Hey, Aura?" He asks

"Yes?" I reply

"Uhm- can I ask you a question?" He looks nervous

"Yeah?" I say, tilting my head slightly

"Uhm- w-would you- like to uh- g-go with me t-to the Yule Ball?" He asks me making my eyes go slightly wide.

I glance to my side to see Mattheo shooting daggers to Seamus.

"Oh um- I-I'm already going with someone.." I say

"No you're not girl!" Ginny said

THAT BITCH!

"I am, Ginny." I told her "I'll explain to ya'll later."

"Sorry, Seamus." I say

"I-Its ok." He puts his head down and walks back to Dean.

"So, WHO ARE YOU GOING WITH BITCH!" Ginny yelled

I saw Mattheo smirk while leaning on a nearby wall, watching me.

"Uh- Mattheo.." I whisper out, avoiding eye contact with everyone

"WAIT REALLY?!" Ginny screams

"You never told m- us!" Hermione says

Just then I feel Mattheo mess my hair up and walk to his class, leaving a trail of his scent.

I was about to yell at him but he was already too far away.

Tall ass bitch.

✧✫❦✫✧

My list of people who have asked me by the end of the day? 4

Yes. 4.

Seamus Finnagan, Ernie Macmillan, Micheal Corner & Adrian Pucey.

And now I'm sitting in front of the Black Lake and drawing in my book.

"Ooh," I hear a voice say "Drawing are we?"

I shrug as I feel Mattheo sit next to me.

I look to see Mattheo squinting at my work, then he looks up meeting my eyes.

We hold eye contact as I feel my cheeks heat up a little.

Mattheo smiles, a genuine on, which looks so pretty "You're so cute." He says "C'mon!" He stands up and pulls me up.

He waves his wand and holds my hands as music starts playing, Backyard Boy by Claire Rosinkranz.

(A/N: In the next lines, italics means Aura is singing alone, bold only means Mattheo is singing and italics + bold means both are singing, if its normal its what is happening. I also recommend playing the song now!)

'Five, six, seven, eight
Dance with me in my backyard, boy
Looking super fine in your corduroy
Drive me 'round the block
We can go in a loop
And we'll turn the volume up
On some good boy band tunes

Love to feel the fresh air
I can feel your eyes stare
And I'm not gonna lie
I get a little bit scared

My heart is on wings
I'm living in dreams
And at the top of our lungs we sing


Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Everything is perfect

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

All our words were worth it

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Dancing around like a clown at the circus


Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Backyard boy, you make me nervous

Dance with me in my backyard, boy
Looking super fine in your corduroy
(five, six, seven, eight)
Roll the windows down
Let the bass drop low
And everybody's talking
But I don't wanna know

Feel the fresh air
I can feel your eyes stare
And I'm not gonna lie
I get a little bit scared

My heart is on wings
I'm living in dreams
And at the top of our lungs we sing

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Everything is perfect


Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

All our words were worth it

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Dancing around like a clown at the circus


Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Backyard boy,
you make me nervous

As the song finishes, Mattheo and I fall to floor, laughing and panting from our singing and dancing.

He's so good at singing..

He is.
