joshua x kei // hogwarts alternate universe

Hufflepuff's table this morning was pretty loud. Since the Triwizard Cup spat out a scrap of parchment with Cedric Diggory written on it, the whole Huffepluff went crazy. The common room which usually was quiet after 10 p.m, was loaded with Hufflepuffs, from juniors until seniors. As a Prefect, Joshua found it so annoying.

"You are just jealous." Dokyeom said this morning when they had their breakfast.

"Why would I? Come on, you think Triwizard Tournament is a fun game?" Joshua scoffed and rolled his eyes. He drank his orange juice in one go.

"No-not because of the tournament. It is because your title as the Prince of Hufflepuff was taken away by him." Joshua's eyes followed Dokyeon's direction, and there he found Cedric who was surrounded by girls and even boys from Hufflepuff and also some fron other houses.

Dokyeom stood up, pat Joshua's shoulder and said, "Don't forget about the Ball. You better look for a partner now, if you don't want to spend your night on a basement alone."

"And who is your partner, if I may ask?" Joshua raised his volume since Dokyeom slowly walked away from the Great Hall.

"Sujeong. I doubt if you know her." Dokyeom yelled and waved his hand.

Joshua thought, oh right, who doesn't know the brillianr Sujeong from Ravenclaw?

Friday afternoon, Joshua was reading his book when around him, his friends-Mingyu, Wonwoo and Dokyeom-were chattering out loud, discussing the Quidditch World Cup last summer. Joshua didn't put so much attention on them until his Gryffindor friend mentioned about the Yule Ball.

"Oh would you guys please shut up?" Joshua closed his book loudly and felt his friends' eyes were on him.

"You don't say...you haven't got a partner, have you?" Mingyu asked. Joshua sighed. It was two days before the Ball and yes, he had to admit he hadn't got a partner.

"Just ask someone out! What's the big deal?" Mingyu blurted out, followed by Dokyeom and Wonwoo's nodding.

"Oh please, like you already have one! Sujeong said yes to Dokyeom, duh?" Joshua said.

"Wah, this friend doesn't know me well, does he?" Mingyu shook his head, turned his body to Joshua and added, "I missed my chance to ask Sujeong because of this person," he gave a little punch to Dokyeom, "But I use my brain. I asked her Slytherin friend, Yein, and she said yes."

Joshua's jaw dropped in surprise. Why he didn't use his brain so far? He stopped to think for a minute, and suddenly got a brilliant idea.

"Okay, if Dokyeom can ask his bestfriend, so I will ask my adorable sister Myungeun."

What a perfect time, he saw Myungeun and her Hufflepuff friends across the courtyard. He was about to wave his hands at her when Wonwoo stopped his action and said,

"And you forgot that your sister already has a boyfriend."

"Why don't you ask Kei?" Dokyeom asked, and Wonwoo nodded in agreement.

"Someone like Kei pretty much already got a partner, though. Cedric, the prince, most likely already asked her." Joshua sighed. So, maybe this time he would spend a night on the basement. Besides, he was a prefect, Joshua would take it as an additional job, look after the Hufflepuff Basement while the students were enjoying the Ball.

"But Cedric has Cho Chang, tho. And he is not the prince of Hufflepuff." said Dokyeom.

There was a sign of hope in Joshua's eyes. He looked at Kei who was laughing with her friends. Kei was known as the Princess of Hufflepuff. She was cute, pretty, friendly, and who wouldn't think she was a princess?

Kei jolted in surprise when she saw someone crouched down near the fireplace that night. It was 11 p.m, and there was no one in the common room except her, and now him. He stood up and turned around at Kei, so she could see perfectly a badge on his right chest.

"Oh no, am I on trouble?" She said in a soft voice.

"Depends. Where have you been anyway? It's 11 p.m you know." Joshua ticked his wand on his wristwatch, trying to look like he was an upset prefect.

"Dungeon." Joshua eyes's widened at her answer, and Kei quickly added explanation, "I was looking for my Puffy, and Yein found her in the dungeon. That's why I went there to pick her up", Kei said as she lifted up her pink Pygmy Puff on her hand.

Joshua shrugged, "You pet loves to travel, I guess." He was really trying his best to beat around the bush.

"If I am not on trouble, then I should go to sleep." said Kei as she walked to the round window.

"Oh wait, wait. I am not done yet." Kei stopped, her round sparkling eyes were looking at Joshua's, waiting for his next words.

Joshua rubbed his nape nervously. "So, um, I wonder, have you got a partner for the Ball?" asked Joshua, finally.

"Oh. That one." Kei's answer somehow made him more nervous. "I haven't."

Joshua widened his eyes once again in disbelief, "Really?"

Kei nodded and gave him a little smile.

"So, shall we go together, Princess?" Joshua smiled. He was not flirting, honestly, everyone in Hogwarts know Kei was a princess. He took out his hands, and made a gesture as he asked her to dance in a dance floor.

Surprisingly, Kei smiled and played along. She bowed a little, reached out his hand, and said "I have been waiting all days long, Prince."
