"so your still together?" ginny asked, as her, Audrey, luna and cho walked to breakfast.

"yeah, for now." she sighed, making sure he wasn't around.

"that necklace is ugly," cho said bluntly, pulling a truly nasty face. "woah, thanks cho, i had no idea." she laughed, wanting desperately to be wearing the necklace Ron bought her.

"right, no more dean talk." Audrey shook her head, walking into the great hall.

Luna and cho walked to Ravenclaw table, while ginny and Audrey went to Gryffindor.

it seemed she was obligated to sit with dean now, knowing what he says when she's not around.

"hello Audrey," dean said, as she sat next to him.

"hey," she replied, taking a glance at Ron.

he was staring, of course he was staring.

Audrey knew that Ron had fully expected for her to break it off, but she hadn't.

"so, are we hanging out tonight?" he asked, filling her plate. "uh no, i have quidditch practice."

"oh right, you have a game tomorrow." he said.

"yeah no hard feelings Audrey, but were totally going to smoke you guys." harry said from across the table, as he took a bite of bacon.

"in your dreams, Ravenclaws actually really good now with me and cho." she declared.

"oh i'm not saying your bad, i'm just saying i'm better." he replied, smirking.

"you cocky fuck," she laughed, taking a bite of her eggs.

dean put his hand on her upper thigh, squeezing slightly.

she didn't get those butterflies, like she would've if it was Ron. she genuinely believed she had more chemistry with her lipgloss then dean.

"we'll see," harry trailed off, they had actually started becoming friends lately.

"hey aud," George said, who was sitting right next to her. "be careful, they're this girl on Gryffindor that's been talking about you,"

"said she's gonna try to knock you off your broom or something," he explained. "oh how wonderful," she said sarcastically, feeling a bit scared.

"yeah her names Harrison Wiley, just watch out."
Fred said, who was sitting next to George.

"i feel like we haven't had enough practices lately," cho said, as the two walked to practice.

"i agree, maybe me and you should take practicing again." Audrey said, as her quidditch bag started to slip from her shoulder.

"definitely, i feel like i need somewhere to put my aggression, you know?" cho asked, looking towards her friend. "i absolutely do."

"you and Cedric are still doing okay, right?" Audrey asked, as she hadn't said anything about the two in a while.

"oh yeah, no we're great." she assured, as the two finally made it to the pitch.

they sat in the changing room together, putting they're things into cubby's.

"so, how long is this practice supposed to be?" Audrey asked, slipping off her sneakers and putting on her quidditch boots.

"uh three hours," cho said, putting her hair into a ponytail.

"oh fuck me," she muttered, "i'm gonna be so exhausted."

"hey, if we want to beat Gryffindor tomorrow we need all the practice we can get." a 5th year boy explained, "we might be better then last year, but Gryffindor is still better."

"we'll we're gonna get beat with that attitude," cho scoffed, taking off her coat.

"cmon! it's time to practice," the captain called out, "now!"

Audrey sighed, making her way to the field.

"i am beat," cho said, as the girls walked to they're dorms. "i'm exhausted, but also starving. want to go to the kitchen?"

"no, I'm just gonna eat some snacks from my room and then pass out." she shrugged.

"okay," Audrey laughed lightly, going they're separate ways.

Audrey was feeling extremely confident about tomorrow, as practice had gone incredibly well.

she tickled the pear, listening to it giggle as her stomach growled.

"Audrey, hey," Ron said, grinning ear to ear.

"practice got you hungry?" harry asked, sipping on a milkshake.

"incredibly!" she smiled, walking over to the boys.

"what is that?" she asked, brows knitted together.

"peanut butter and cinnamon," he said, taking a gulp of his own milkshake.

"that sounds disgusting," Audrey said, looking up at him. "it isn't!"

Audrey took the cup from him, taking a sip.

Ron watched as she drank from his straw, heart skipping a beat.

"oh shit," she laughed, pulling her mouth away from his drink. "yeah no, this is really fucking good."

"exactly," he said, as he attempted to pull it back. "uh, this is mine now." she said as she took another drink.

"excuse me," he laughed, watching her suck the straw.

Harry has never seen Ron share his food before, and he was genuinely scared of the power Audrey had over him.

"i, will get you your own." he said, letting her take one more drink before taking it.

"what do you want to eat, mac and cheese? grilled cheese and crisps?" he asked, pushing himself of the counter, off to find a elf.

he knew her so well.

"mac and cheese," she smiled, taking his seat as he had warmed the counter up for her.

once Ron was out of earshot, Harry opened his mouth. "he fancy's you," he said firmly, finishing off his milkshake.

"what," she said in shock, harry had never been so forward. "either that or you've got him under some type of spell,"

"i have never, and i mean never, seen him share his food." he explained, "i think he'd rather let me starve to death."

"your being a bit dramatic, don't you think?" she laughed, not wanting to admit that she knew Ron liked her.

"no, absolutely not."
