Fireworks ☆ F. Weasley [ON HOLD]

[chapter 11]

"That's it, Miss Nott, add more to your right." Professor Flitwick was overseeing the decoration for Hallowe'en Feast.

Thea had her wand in her hand and was making flaming orange streamers float across the stormy ceiling with two Ravenclaw Prefects. She lowered her arm for a second to relax it and looked across the Great Hall to see Cedric filling carved pumpkins with candles along with other Prefects. He caught her staring and shot her a quick smile. After their date had been interrupted by Fred, they had walked back to the castle to start on decorations. Thea had apologized to him but he said there was nothing to apologize for.

"I think we're done here." Professor Flitwick spoke with a proud smile. "Thank you Prefects for your work. You can go back to your houses and relax before the feast."

"I'm hoping this Hallowe'en feast will go smoothly." Thea shook her head with a chuckle as she descended the stairs with Cedric.

"What do you mean?" Asked Cedric confused.

"I mean first two years? Fine." Thea sighed remembering the days. "But last two years? First the Mountain Troll then the Chamber of Secrets. I wouldn't be surprised if Voldemort himself charges through the doors." She realized Cedric was one of the few people she had met who doesn't flinch at his name.

"Now you've jinxed it." Cedric joked stopping before making his way towards the kitchens.

"Thanks for today. It was fun." Thea smiled and Cedric leaned in to place a kiss on her cheek.

Cedric walked backwards with a smirk and turned the corner.

"Well that was cute." Ronnie popped out of nowhere, scaring Thea.

"How long were you watching us?" She narrowed her eyes at her friend.

"Not for long." Sighed Ronnie and started walking towards their common room. "Oh Cedric, I just had the most wonderful time." She raised the pitch of her voice and put her hand on her heart. "Me too, Thea. Do you want to get married and have angry Quidditch babies?" She drastically lowered her voice to imitate Cedric.

"Oh come off it, will you?" Thea scolded her friend but she had a smile on her face.

"Come on, tell me about the date." Ronnie bumped her shoulder against her friend's side, not quite reaching her shoulder.

"Nope." Thea popped her p.

"Why not?"

"Because then I'd have to talk about it twice. Just wait till we get to the dorms." Thea replied muttering the password for the wall to let them in.

Ronnie put her hands on Thea's back and started pushing her towards their dorm, much to the girl's protests.

"I still don't understand why Fred was acting like that." Thea furrowed her eyebrows as they stepped foot into the Great Hall.

"Jealousy, my dear Thea." Emily slung an arm around her friend's shoulder.
