No strings attached. A Ron Weasley love story.

The Yule ball

Three days later.

Ron's POV.

I nervously flattened my collar. "I look hideous." I groaned. Mum had sent me dress robes. Traditional dress robes. Lace,weird-swirly-designy-thingies,and it smelled like a dead house-elf left out in the rain. The door of my dormitory opened. Harry came in,dressed in perfectly nice,normal,black robes. "What are you wearing?" I exclaimed. He jumped. "Uh,my dress robes." He said. "But yours are normal!" I burst out. "But,Ron,your's are more,uh,traditional." Harry said. I kicked the wall. "Oh,pish-posh,Harry." I said. "Come on,Ron. We need to get downstairs." Harry said. I groaned again. Harry and I had gotten dates to the Yule ball with the Patil twins,Padma and Parvti. I could hardly wait. When Harry and I got downstairs,we saw Ginny,dressed in a pink dress with a silver sash,standing with Neville. "Hi,Harry! Hi,Ron!" She said,as they left,too.

The hallways leading to the Great Hall were extremley crowded. Beauxbatons girls,in their thick French accents,were mezmerizing their lucky partners. Durmstrangs showing off to our fellow classmates,who were being obbsessed flirts. I was looking for Bean so intently that I didn't notice Padma,who was standing right in front of me. "Ron! Are you coming?" She demanded impatiently. I nodded. "Coming,Padma." I muttered.

The Great hall was crowded with people. Padma and I had to push our way through the crowds,just to see the champions and their dates walk grandly to the head table. Harry went down first with Parvati,who was beaming like a queen. Next came Viktor Krum with...Hermione! I bit my tounge so I wouldn't explode. Hermione Granger....with Viktor Krum! She was in a beautiful baby blue gown,with her hair tied up on the top of her head. Viktor looked extremly happy. I glared at him,though he probably couldn't see me. Next up came Fluer Delacour,alongside Roger Davies,Ravenclaw quidditch captain. I didn't care much about them,though. Then,I gasped. Belania Snape came down the aisle,beaming like it was her wedding day.

Her dress was emerald green,with a silver diamond-thing on the front. Her red hair was curled at the ends,and she looked like an angel. Her stupid partner,Mr Stupid head Cedric,was grinning like Bean had told him she would marry him,and give him her Nimbus. When Bean saw me,she waved. I blushed. Padma elbowed me in the ribs. "Stop flirting!" She hissed. I sighed. Girls.

Cedric's POV.

After the whole introduction ceremony,I lead Bean to the dance floor. I still couldn't believe my luck. She was truly beautiful. "So.....how are you? Wait,that was stupid. Uh..." I stammered. She laughed. Nicely. "I'm good. You?" She asked,spinning gracefully under my arm. "Great. You look gorgeous. Did you know that?" I blurted out. She started blushing. "Thank you,Cedric." She said. I then pulled her foreward. She almost fell over. "Sorry. Uh,your friends.." I said,pointing. She turned around. Fred Weasley,and his date,Angelina Johnson,were dancing so fast that they could probably knock someone over. "Oh." She said akwardly. "So,ya hungry?" I asked. She grinned. "You didn't have to ask."

Bean's POV.

We sat down at a table out in a corner. I probably shouldn't have gotten so much. But hey,I was hungry. "How is your life?" I asked Cedric. "Good. Dad is slightly annoying,as usual." He said,grinning. I laughed. "Well,you know my dad." I said. "Would you mind me asking you about your mom?" He asked,more seriously. At that moment,a zillion thoughts raced through my head. Tell him? No. "Uh,she's dead." I said. He frowned. "Oh." He said,sounding depressed. "Do you have any siblings?" I asked him quickly. "No. I wish I did." He said. "Me,too." I said. "You wanna dance some more?" He asked. I looked down at my plate. To eat,or not to eat. That is the question. "Sure!" I said brightly,looking up. How could I say no? I like this guy. Alot.

We started dancing some more. Other pairs of lovebirds were spinning in a blur. Nothing else mattered right now. Just me,and Cedric.

He had his arm around my waist. His eyes were brown and warm,like mine were green and sharp. "I like you." I said. "I like you,too." He said. This may sound like a corny love story,but it wasn't. Believe me. He pulled me closer to him. We were nose to nose,which is very close. He then kissed my lips softly. When he pulled away,I smiled at him. "I really like you,Cedric Diggory." I said. "You know what? I really like you too,Belania." He said. I laughed a kissed him again. This time,we let it last.
