Heather

Okay, you can do this. Its just a simple outing with Gideon. Just a friend thing. Right?
You'll just tell Gideon we need to be friends and thats it. Is there romantic tension between us in the first place? Wont it be akward when you say those words? 'Gideon we need to be just friends'.
What if he laughs at you? Ugh. I wish i didnt have to do this. It'll all be worth it, just keep telling yourself that. I guess.
Right now I was looking at all my clothes across the floor. I god, I'm having a fashion emergency. What am I going to wear. I have nothing nice, not like Hermione.
Maybe I'll wear something ugly,so Gideon will get over me.
Okay Heather, news flash. All the clothes you own are ugly.
Right.
Okay, maybe a black tee and jeans. And a black leather jacket too?
I know. I have a serious fashion problem. After debating with myself, I decided I'm going to go with a white top and jeans. Throw in that leather jacket. I looked at myself in the jewel incrusted mirror. Okay, I do not look lady-like at all.
"Great" I said to myself and made my way down and out of the common room, which of course was deserted.
Cassandra, Harry, Hermione were laughing and chatting at the end of the Gryffindor table. "Morning" I said grumpily and plopped beside Cassandra.
"You don't look very lady-like."
"I've seen" I replied, munching on a butter biscuit.

"Please don't tell me this is part of your 'just friends' plan" Cassandra stated.
"Why yes, yes it is" I said mocking her.
"Is it really nescassery?"
"Of course. If it means everything between Tommy and I will be okay. Plus, I don't have any feelings towards Gideon whatsoever."

Draco

I have no feelings towards Gideon whatsoever"
Yes! I knew it. The plan is in place. I turned to look at my brother who was standing beside me. He must have heard it. "Sorry, but. You've promised" I said and he nodded.
"With pleasure" he muttered. I just hope that anger has'nt blinded him.
"I'll see you later-yeah?"
"Of course. Just remember, be thankful she actually likes you...just as a friend. This hurts me just as much" I said watching Hermione Granger.
"What about Pansy?" Gideon said pointing towards my ex who was sitting beside her present boyfriend, Slyder Guemock.
"Let's just say I've got over it" I smiled at Gideon and turned towards Hermione.
McGonagall stood at the front of the Great Hall and magnified her voice, causing silence to wash over.
"Students, its 9:33 and we will be leaving for Hogsmeade in two minutes specifically. Those who have had their breakfast may line up outside. Thank you"
"That's the que. Good luck. I'll see you afterwards" I assured Gideon and walked towards the oak doors.

Gideon

I watched as my brother left for the doors. I was lucky to have someone in my family who is really understanding. This isn't going to be an easy task for me, of course Draco suggested it in the first place, but that's because he wanted to save our cruel idiotic father who, again, managed to anger the Dark Lord. I walked towards Heather who was already making her way to the door and covered her eyes. She seemed startled but then relaxed when I started chuckling.
"It isn't funny. You almost gave me a mini-heart attack!" She laughed.
"Mini?" I said fake laughing.
"Yes, mini" she huffed and slapped my arm playfully.
"Shall we go Malaydy? The others are leaving" I pointed out and she nodded.
"I've been looking forward to today for a long time" she said and realisation hit me. She was playing with my feelings. Or maybe she does'nt know that she's sounding a little bit-more than friendly.
"Me too" I lied. I actually hoped today would never ever come. Oh how I would crave for a savior right now. How I wished my father would be a little bit brighter next time and think about what he is going to say, and not piss off the dark lord. Draco wont always be there to save him.
"You seem worried...you want to talk about it?" Heather asked as we all started walking towards Hogsmeade.
"No, I'm not at all worried. Um-where do you want to go first?"
"Could we go to Honeydukes? My candy stash is lessening" she chuckled to herself.
"Of course." I said. Honestly, I didn't care where we went. I just wanted to get out of the cold. Heather on the other hand took three hand fulls of candy and stuffed them into her basket and kept on hunting for more sweets.
She must be pretty rich, you should have seen the amount of sweets she was buying.
Too bad she cant eat them, I thought. "Okay, where to next?" She asked cheerfully.
"The Three Broomsticks? I need to warm up" I said rubbing my hands together.
"Ooh, I heard the butter bear there is fantastic! Come on!!!"
Madame Rosmerta greeted us as we enetered. She's really sweet to my brother and everyone else, I guess. "So children, what will it be today?" She asked taking out her tiny note pad.
"Um- two butterbears, please?"
"Sure sweeties! I'll be back in a jiffie"
"So Heather... how's Tommy. Who's his companion?" I asked. I knew they fought.
"Well, he was going to take Cassandra, but then he changed his mind. Cassandra found someone else." She said quietly.
"I see"
"Gideon?"
"Yeah?" I said as Madame Rosmerta came back with our drinks.
"We- do you- look, I knkow you have a crush on me, but we need to stay as friends" she said really really fast. It took me a few seconds to figure out what she said, then I started laughing hystarically. "You-you-you think I have a crush on-you?!?" I continued laughing. "Yes, its obvious isn't it?" She argued and I shook my head.
"That's because I'm kind and all, doesn't mean that I have a crush on you.." I lied.
"Oh-Um- this is embarrasing. Sorry" she burried her face in her pinkish fair palms. I could tell she was blushing.
"It's okay. Rumours." I waved off.
"Yeah." She replied and laughed lightly.
"Lets not think about that now. We're here to enjoy" I said and she nodded. You have such a way with words you little devil, I thought to myself. Im the stupid little devil who is about to do something horrible.
I set down my empty mug on the table and got up. "Up for another destination?"
"Sure" she wiped her buttery moustache away and followed me out.
"Where to?"
"Its a surprise.."

This is it
