"i don't know how he did that, i could never"

"it's all about confidence isn't it?"

"yeah true, why don't you just ask someone? what's the worst that could happen" i said.

"what just happened to cedric is"

"oh.. yeah true"

we headed to our next class which was defence of the dark arts, i didn't mind this lesson so it went relatively quick. after our lessons were over we all headed to the common room.

"so you two are going to the ball together?" ron asked harry and hermione.

"yeah, who are you two going with"

"not a clue, but cedric asked y/n" ron said winking at me.

"shut up ron, i don't think i'm going to go with him"

"why not" hermione asked.

"i don't know, we've never even had a proper conversation"

"talk to him then?" ron said sarcastically.

"i don't want to!" i said getting agitated, why was ron so determined to get me to go with cedric, it's annoying.

"then stop leading the guy on!" he said shouting back at me.

"how! fine, come with me" i said getting up and yanking rons arm leading him out the room with me.

he raised his eyebrows and smiled at hermione and harry, clearly proud he had pushed me over the edge.

i stormed over to cedric.

"cedric i'm sorry but i don't want to go to the ball with you" i said straight up.

"oh..it's okay. sorry if i got in the way of you two" he said looking down at my hand wrapped around his arm, i hadn't even realised i was still holding it. i quickly let go.

"oh..no we're not..we're just..we're not a thing" i said struggling for the correct words.

"whatever, see you later" he said walking away.

i turned to face ron.

"well, that didn't go very well did it" he said.

"not exactly how i planned it to go, no"

"let's head back to th- hi lavender?"

lavender brown came over to us and was stood incredibly close to ron.

"hi ron"

"hi?"

i looked at ron and gave him a confused and annoyed look, to kind of say "what the hell is she doing".

"do you want to go to the ball with me?" she said. i looked at ron hopefully. praying he wouldn't say yes.

"oh..erm..sure" he said back.

i felt my heart drop, i assumed me and him could go as friends seen as i wasn't going with cedric. but he had other ideas.

"listen, i'll see you later ron" i said with sadness in my face, and a half hearted smile. ron must have noticed.

"wait y/n"

i didn't listen and walked away, why did it hurt so much. i felt tears flooding my eyes and i rushes back to my room. i felt two hands stop me. i looked up to see the twins. being bestfriends with ron meant i was over the burrow a lot, which meant i'd become very close to the twins, they treated me like a sister.

"y/n?" they said, concerned.

"i'm okay" i said trying to walk away. fred stopped me and pulled me into a hug while george rubbed my back. after a few seconds i let myself cry. it was horrible feeling second best.

"you ready to tell us what's wrong?" george said.

"cmon, sit down" fred added.

we sat down and i told them about it, i told them everything about how i always compared myself to hermione and other girls and i told them about ron and lavender.

"oh y/n, trust me, he would prefer to go with you"

"then why did he say yes to lavender"

"poor lads probably just love deprived"

"but he doesn't even like lavender, well that's what i thought atleast"

"yeah he doesn't, we know who he likes, i don't think he does yet"

"what? who! please tell me! harry wouldn't tell me either"

"we can't, ron has to tell you himself"

"please guys"

"sorry we just can't"

"it's ok, i get it, thankyou" i hugged them both and headed back to the common room. i walked in and flopped myself down on the sofa next to hermione and harry, i rested my head on hermiones shoulder.

"you okay?"

"yeah it's just-" ron walked in so i quickly stopped speaking.

"i'll tell you later"

ron sat next to me but i didn't even look at him.

"you alright?"

"me? yeah i'm fine" i said.

"i'll see you in the room hermione, i'm going to go to sleep"

"oh okay, see you up there" she said smiling.

*rons pov*

i have never spoke to lavender and she asked me to the ball? seeing as i don't even know her, i said yes, to get to know her i guess. as soon as i said yes to her i saw y/n facial expression change completely. i don't know what exactly happened but she's being weird with me. she didn't even say goodnight when i normally get a hug and everything.

"what's that about?" i said to harry and hermione.

"did you do something?" harry asked.

"not that i know of"

"so what exactly has happened in the last 10 minutes" hermione said.

"well we were just talking, then lavender asked me to the ball, then she walked away, th-"

"hold it, lavender asked you to the ball?" harry said.

"yeah why?" i said confused.

"what did you say?"

"i said yes, why?"

"oh" harry and hermione said in unison turning to eachother.

"what? what's going on"

"i'll let you guys talk about it, goodnight boys" hermione said walking up to her dorm.

"mate i am lost" i said to harry.

"i think y/n might be abit worried she's going to lose you to lavender, maybe she wanted to go to the ball with you"

"wait really? well i didn't know! i only said yes to lavender because i didn't want to go alone, it never crossed my mind y/n would want to go with me" i felt totally stupid.

"just try talk to her tomorrow, she'll probably try and push you away. but it's y/n what can you expect"

we headed to our room and went to sleep.
