Harry's POV:

How do I tell Y/n that I like her? Isn't she going to reject me? Who's she going to The Yule Ball with? Did already ask her?!

"Mate!" Ron says, knocking on my dorm door.

"Er yeah?" I reply.

"You've been thinking about that 'something' for quite a lot of time. Whenever anyone calls you, you say you're thinking. What are you thinking about, Harry?!" Ron says, looking annoyed.

"Don't kill me..."

"What?"

"I've been thinking about.. well.."

"WHO?"

"Your sister..."

Oh Merlin, I'm dead.

"Which one?" Ron says calmly. Surprising.

"Y/n"

"You like Y/n?!"

"Maybe?" I say.

"But what about Cho? I thought you liked her!"

"I did, but then I realised that I could be no competition to Cedric. Plus, Y/n makes me feel different, in a good way. She's the next person who understands me after Luna."

"So? Are you going to ask her to The Yule Ball?"

"Ron, are you mad?! She only sees me as a friend!"

"How about you try?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Oh Harry, why are you so dumb?" He murmurs.

"Sorry?"

"Er, nothing.. ignore whatever it said."

"Okay?"

"Well, I'm heading back into the common room.. see you later, Harry" he says before leaving.

Y/n's POV:

"Its only you two?" Ron says while coming out of Harry's dorm.

Hermione and I look at eachother in confusion.

"What?" Hermione says.

"Yes it only you two here?" Ron asks again.

"Yes. Why? Is everything okay?" I ask, worriedly.

"Actually.. yes! Everything's completely fine." Ron says, switching his tone of voice.

"Didn't you want to tell us something?" Hermione asked.

"No! I don't recall any such thing." Ron says. "But Hermione, there is something I want to tell YOU"

He whispers something in her ears as he eyes widen.

"Oh Merlin! And you're completely sure about it?" Hermione asks Ron.

"I'm sure!" He replies.

Harry walks out of his dorm.

"Hi!" He says

Hermione and Ron smirk.

"Er, what's wrong with them?" Harry asks me in confusion.

"I have no clue." I reply. "Anyways, what were you two talking about in there? After coming out of your dorm, Ron started acting really weird! Hermione and him were even whispering something!"

Harry's eyes widen.

"What were you talking about?" He said looking tensed.

"We know, Harry". Hermione said

"We won't-"

"You're right, Y/n! They are acting mad." Harry said, like he was trying to hide something.

"Hi guys!" Ginny says, sitting down.

"Where were you?" Ron asks.

"Just with Dean!" She replies.

I could see Harry's eyes fill with anger.

"What were you doing with him?" He asked.

"We were just discussing potions! But anyway, forget that! Who are you taking to The Yule Ball?" Ginny asks.

Harry looks at me, I smile. I could feel my cheeks redden.

"Er, I asked Cho but she said she was going with Cedric.. so she's definitely out of the picture", Harry says.

"I'm sure someone would love to go with you", Hermione says as Ron and her start to laugh. Harry looks confused.

"Really? Who?" He asks.

I turn my face away from him.

"You'll find out", Ron says before winking.

"I'm sure you like her, the way you look at her says it all" Hermione says.

"I don't-"

"Save it", Fred says, walking in the common room.

"Aren't you guys hungry?" George asks.

"Ofcourse I am!" Ron says.

"We already knew, here" Fred says, throwing Ron a chocolate frog.

"What are we talking about?" George asks.

"Harry doesn't have a date to The Yule Ball" Ginny says.

"You're not going with him?" Fred said.

"No! She's going with Neville" Hermione said. "But I think we all know who Harry really wants to go with. He's just not admitting it".

Fred and George look at me and start to laugh.

"What did I do?" I ask

"Nothing, Y/n. They're just mad", Harry says.

"Can you believe that Harry and Y/n don't have dates for The Ball?" Seamus says while walking in the common room.

"I know right! I'm sure they're going to go together. They would look so good together! Plus Neville also made a bet and I'm sure that he's going to win that money, I'm probably dead because I'm damn broke. Also did you see Y/n's dress? She certainly bought it to impress Harry but he asked Cho and Cho said-" Dean said while looking at the floor, walking. Seamus nudged him and started awkwardly smiling at Harry and I staring at them in shock.

"Er... You didn't hear any of that right?" Dean asks.

"We heard all of it" Fred and George said.

"Ofcourse you did. Dean, you doofus!" Seamus said.

"Sorry about that, guys. Er Harry, about the rejection, I'm sure-"

"No it's fine. I need to go take a walk. I'll be right back" Harry says, walking out of the common room. Ah shit, this idiot!

Seamus and Dean run to their dorm.

"Er.. I'll see you guys later", I say.

"Where are you going?" Hermione asks.

"To comfort Harry, ofcourse!" George says, making a teasing face.

"Oh shut up." I say before walking out.

Where could he be? The astronomy tower? I run towards it.

"Harry!" I say.

"Hm?"

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Im okay... Actually Y/n, I need to tell you something.."

"Of course! What's troubling you?"

"I was wondering if you..."
