A Hufflepuff and a Slytherin

Chapter 13- At The Quidditch Field

~Lily's POV~

It's not that I was expecting Harry to ask me to the Yule Ball I was just upset that he never told me about Cho. After all my classes I went straight to my dorm. I didn't know where Anna was, I assumed she was somewhere with Draco. I was surprised to see a small note on my bed. I opened it up.

'Meet me at the quidditch field after practice, Harry'

I felt a rush of excitement. I thought he had forgotten about me but now I knew he didn't. I checked the time and saw that his practice would be ending in about 5 minutes. I didn't want to be late so I rushed down the halls to the field. As I was approaching the big doors the team started to come out. I went in and Harry was in the middle of the field packing up all the balls and equipment. He looked up, saw me and we ran towards each other in the cheesiest way possible. We were both dying of laughter about it because we aren't like those kinds of people at all.

"So?" I asked him.

"Yes, I asked Cho to the ball and yes, I'm regretting it. I wanted to ask you." I definitely blushed.

"I just didn't know what you'd think and if you said no I didn't want our friendship to end." I understood how he must have felt. We've never really talked about our friendship or possible relationship with each other. He grabbed my hands and looked my in the eyes.

"Lily, I wanted to go to the Yule ball with you." Butterflies filled my stomach until I realized he used past tense.

'Wanted' That must mean he doesn't want to any more. I looked up at him with a confused look. He wasn't smiling and he wasn't acting like he wanted to ask me.

"Wanted?" I asked. I turned around.

"This was a mistake." I started to run out. Ron stayed outside, I guess to speak to Harry afterwards.

"Hey, Lily right? What's wrong?" He called after me.

I just kept running and running until I reached the common room. When I walked in I saw Anna and Draco on the couch laughing. Anna was wearing Draco's sweater. That could be me. It made me even more mad at Harry and just feelings in general.

"Hey, What's wrong?" Anna asked while her face went blank. I rushed upstairs and she followed me.
