BEE HAD absolutely nothing to wear. Well that might be a slight over-exaggeration. Bee had nothing acceptable to wear.
Her date with Fred was in less than an hour as she still hadn't picked out an outfit yet. Bee had no clue what the pair would be doing for their first date therefore she had no clue what to wear. A dress would be too fancy but jeans might be to casual.
After another ten minutes of flicking through her wardrobe Bee decided on a pair of black straight leg jeans and a blue top. Not too dressy but not too casual. Beatrice tied her hair back into a ponytail thinking that if their date was fancier then she could let it down.
Walking to the kitchens Bee felt ever so slightly nervous, she shouldn't be though, she had known Fred forever.
Arriving at their meeting spot Bee couldn't stop smiling. Fred was dressed in an orange jumper that brung out his eyes and a pair of blue jeans. Fred gave Bee a small hug before leading her into the kitchens for their date.
"This has to be my favourite place in the castle" Bee beamed as they entered into the kitchens.
"Me too" Fred grinned.
"So Freddo, what's our plans for the evening?"
"Well I've asked some of the house elves to prepare us a meal, lasagne, then I can walk you back to your dorms."
"Sounds perfect" Bee said honestly.
~~~
The two teenagers sat for a couple hours talking about anything and everything. Since they had been friends for so long the date wasn't awkward at all. They were just two best friends who like each other, with no pressure for the date to go well. Although it actually did go really well, Bee felt like it was the best date she'd been on.
Fred walked Bee back to the Hufflepuff common room, which is right beside the kitchens so they took the long way round.
"I had a lot of fun tonight" Fred grinned hovering around the door.
"Me too, thanks for tonight Freddie."
"Do you wanna maybe go for another date in another two days?" Fred asked nervous.
"Yeah of course, I'll see you tomorrow morning" Bee walked away, blowing a kiss as she turned around.
~~~
The next day after dinner Bee had arranged to spend some time with Cho, the pair were going to relax by the black lake and have a proper catch up on their year so far. Cho Chang and Beatrice Gallagher are the type of friends that won't talk for months but then can catch up like they never parted.
"Oh hi Cho, Bee." Marietta Edgecomb walked up to the pair with a smirk on her face before sitting down.
"Hi Marietta, wanna join us?" Cho asked.
"Aww sorry girls I can't today, I've on my way to meet my boyfriend."
"Oh that's okay, I didn't know you have a boyfriend. Who is he?"
"Roger."
"R-Roger?" Bee stammered.
"Yeah, Roger Davis." Marietta grinned.
"Oh cool" Bee murmured.
"When did you guys start dating?" Cho piped in.
"Almost a month ago" Marietta said.
A month. Bee and Roger were still together a month ago. "I, I, I need to go" Bee stood up quickly knocking over their picnic basket.
~~~
Bee found a small corner in a random corridor and slunk down into a tiny ball, she started to sweat and felt really cold. Bee's breathing began to turn short and she struggled to grasp her breath.
Roger cheated on her.
"Bee" Raven turned the corner, spotting her best friend. "Bee" Raven called out worried.
Bee was still struggling for breath and couldn't answer Raven.
"Right close your eyes. Take a deep breath and focus on your breathing. Picture you're happy place, somewhere that makes you feel good and relaxed" Raven tried to calm Bee down.
"Bee I think you were having a panic attack, are you okay" Raven asked after calming her down.
"Roger cheated." Bee said. "He cheated on me."
Bee and Raven talked the situation through and then Raven suggested something. "Have you ever thought about going to a therapist, I can reccomend you one that I'm going to that helps with coping with Cedric."
Bee's heart pained thinking of Cedric. "I don't need a therapist Raven."
"It's not something you should be ashamed of Bee, therapy is a really normal thing."
"Look I'll think about it."
~~~
Sneaking around with Fred was fun, it gave a certain thrill to their lives. Bee arrived at the kitchens, excited to hear what Fred had planned for their evening.
"Guess what we're doing tonight Honey" Fred said excitedly. "Stargazing."
"I love stargazing" Bee responded.
The pair made their way up to the astronomy tower, Fred set out the blanket he had brought for them to lie on.
"We should've done this years ago" Bee voiced her thoughts. "The whole dating thing, we would've had more time."
"Yeah, at least we have the rest of our lives ahead of us." Fred smiled thinking of their future.
"That star right there is Bellatrix" Bee pointed out, trying to remember the names of the stars from fifth year.
"I thought it was that one" Fred pointed confused.
Bee took Fred's hand into her own. "No, see that one's Sirius, as in Sirius Black."
"Ah yeah, the brightest star in the sky." Fred recalled.
"Professor Sinistra will he glad to hear you remembered something from Astronomy." Bee giggled.
"I think she was just glad to get rid of me. George, Lee and I were far too much trouble for her." Fred smirked.
Beatrice and Fred spent a while longer gazing at the stars, blethering and watching the world go by before they decided it was time to call it a night.
"Meet me on Sunday at eight in the evening." Fred looked up. "I mean only if you want to go on another date, we don't have to."
"I'd love to, another date sounds great."
