**********************

Sunday came fast, and the two girls were a mix of excitement and panic. Prep talks in front of the mirror, clothes all around the dorm and a lot of opinions from their friends to find the perfect outfit. They both had dated before, but neither had been this nervous about a date before.

When Hope finally arrived to the carriages, her eyes meeting Josie, her breath faded. The Hufflepuff beauty wore a while buttoned up blouse inside a high wasted back and yellow skirt, her house colors. Hope swore she never liked black this much before until now.

"You look, wow, I mean-"

"Thank you." Josie softly giggles at her nervousness. Hope Mikaelson was known and kind of feared for her cold outside and her confidence, watching her make a babbling mess of herself because of her made her heart swoon. "You look amazing too." And she did. The Ravenclaw wore a black letter jacket and an electric blue top, her skinny jeans and combats boots. At this point, Josie was barely keeping it together.

"So... we should get on the carriages before they leave."

"Oh yeah, sure." The blue eyed girl agrees, jumping into the carriage and hold a hand out for her to grab, helping her to get in.

When the students finally arrived to the awaited city, they were fast to go on their ways. Couples walking into Madame Puddifoot, third years running into Zonko or Honeyducks. Hogsmade was the scape for a lot of couples, who couldn't find a dark spot to snog.

The first stop the two girls did was in Honeyducks, where Hope had insisted in buying Josie's favorite candies, a "thank you gift for tutoring me" she called it. Josie tried to refuse, but hope didn't have any of that, she didn't care to spend her money on the candies, the bright smile on the brunette's face was worth more than a thousand galleons.

"Do you want to go to The Three Broomsticks?"

"I'd love to." Hope replied happily, she really didn't want to go to Madame Puddifoot as the other couples did; it was just too much for her, that place was hideous. One time, a Gryffindor took her there, the date could be summed up by the title of "the worst ten minutes of Hope Mikaelson's life", maybe it was a little harsh, but it was the truth nevertheless.

So the two girls entered the place and found a little table next to the window, where the wild forest could be seen. After asking for two butterbeers, they engaged on a light conversation about their time in Hogwarts, that until the drinks came by and a comfortable silence settled between them.

"Oh, here I nearly forgot." Josie exclaims grabbing something from the pocked of her skirt. "It's the list, you know, the one we talked with the muggle music you must listen to?" She explains and the blue eyed witch smiles at her, grabbing the paper. "I added some new songs and some of the songs we listened to the other day. Also some that I think you may like, they're not really my style, but I think you will like them."

"Thank you, I promise I'll listen to them." Hope replies meaning it. The thought of Josie taking some of her time to make her a list of her favorite music and some she doesn't seem fit for herself but that thought Hope may like made her fall harder for the girl.

The girls spent their time between laughs, subtle flirting and lingering touches too timid but just enough for the moment. They learned each other's secrets and hobbies.

Josie learned Hope's passion for art, just like her father and even asked her to draw something on her arm, to which the other girl complied happily. So while the Ravenclaw worked on her masterpiece, the brunette told her about her love for music and how she hoped one day she'd be good enough to be a musician.

"Then one day you can sing to me. Do you have anything original?" Hope asks not taking her glare from Josie's forearm, where she was finishing the drawing.

"No, no way. It's not gonna happen."

"I'm sure I'll find a way to convince you." Hope replies winking at her, making her slightly blush. "Done. You moved a lot, you're ticklish."

"Kinda yes." She smiles before her eyes fall on the gorgeous drawing, making her chuckle. "A badger? Where's your artistic creativity, Mikaelson?"

"Says the girl who's wearing her school houses' colors on her skirt." She teases taking a final sip of her butterbeer. "Let's make a deal. I'll paint a picture of you, but you have to sing to me in return."

"Why?" Josie inquires still looking at the drawing on her forearm, a little smile on her lips as she caresses the warm spot left by Hope's hand.

"Because I need inspiration. Who knows maybe you can help me find my "artistic creativity"." Hope smiles offering her hand to shake it. "Deal?"

"Deal." Jose agrees, shaking her hand. Before she can pull away, Josie intertwines her hands, standing up. "C'mon, we'll miss the ride back."

The two girls left The Three Broomsticks hand in hand, crossing some students who whispered about it. The Hufflepuff princess and the untouchable misplacement of Ravenclaw holding hands, that was not something you'd get to see every day.

The two girls spent the journey back talking, commenting on the future classes Josie was meant to give her and when it would be a good time for them to start that painting, to which Josie insisted she was not model material, even if Hope disagreed. When they arrived, the blue eyed Ravenclaw insisted on walking her to her common room, savoring the last moments of their date.

"Thank you for walking me."

"My please, wouldn't want you to get lost."

"That was one time in first year!" Josie gasped, making them laugh. "I'll never live that down."

"Probably not." Hope agrees starting to feel nervous.

They both stay in silence as Josie taps on the wall, making it open and reveal the yellow common room. The girl turns around, rocking on her heels forth and backwards, with a thinking expression.

"I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast?"

"Yeah, yeah sure."

"Good." Josie smiles biting her lip. Before Hope can say anything, she steps forwards, kissing her cheek and winking at the brunette beauty seconds after walking inside the room.

Hope can't help the huge smile on her face, her cheeks burning with a pink color. Passing a hand through her hair, she turns around walking towards the Ravenclaw tower, ready to write back to her aunts and her uncle Kol, who seemed really interested on the love life of the young witch.
