November sooned turned into December, and news of the Yule Ball spread like wildfire.

It was December 7, a Saturday. I woke up and jumped out of bed. I put on some red sweatpants and a white sweater with a red tank top underneath.

The cold has never really bothered me.

I walked into the common room and took a deep breath. It occured to me that I had never taken the time to really appreciate the glory of the Gryffindor common room. 

I decided to take a morning walk around the ground after breakfast, just to explore.

I started near the forbidden forest.

I suddenly had this- feeling. An uneasy feeling that someone was watching me.

I may be in Gryffindor, but I turned around and ran the other way like a coward.

I ran into the castle and suddenly bumped into someone.

"Hey, Y/N!" Harry said a little too exited. I was a bit suspicious of this.

"Hey!" I said. His face dropped a little when I didn't use his name.

"So, I was wondering-" Harry started, but I cut him off.

"If I would help you study for the muggle studies test? Of course Harry!" I squeezed.

Look I mean I *ahem* like Harry and all but I couldn't risk him asking me to Hogsmede or the Yule Ball- yet.

I mustered an I'm sure suspicions looking smile and Harry looked defeated.

"Uh- yah that was um, exactly what I was gonna ask- Thanks Y/N.."

I smiled again and scurried away.

10:34 AM

I made my way up to Astronomy Tower. There was always a breathtaking view there, even if we weren't allowed up.

There I found a very unfamiliar face- one I knew, but not one I had ever talked to.

"Wood?" I asked as I walked closer.

"L/N?" Oliver asked in his sCcOtiSH accent. I chuckled at the way he pronounced my last name.

"Yup, that's me." I said as I ran to go stand next to him.

He looked at the view for a moment before moving his eyes onto me.

"Y'know, I've always wondered. Why didn't you try out for Quidditch?" Oliver asked me.

I laughed as I remembered.

Oliver's POV

"I was actually supposed to." Y/N said with a chuckle.

I felt my face drop.

"Well what happened?" I asked, trying not to sound too disappointed.

"Well, I was planning on trying out, but no one knew yet because I wanted it to be a suprise when I came." Y/N smiled and I smiled back.

"So basically," She continued. I couldn't help but find her smile and laugh just so painfully beautiful. She was so perfect. I accidentally tuned her out.

Your POV

I skipped back to the common room, trying to avoid every male in sight- just in case.

Suddenly, a boy a year above me named Cormac Mcglaggen caught sight of me and took a hold of my wrist so I couldn't skurry away.

I sighed. My plan was designed to fail anyway.

Cormac put on an unsettling smirk and eyed me.

Oh God...

"Did it hurt?" Cormac asked. Seriously, he couldn't do any better??

I rolled my eyes, but I figured I'd be polite.

"When you fell from Heaven?" Cormac continued, looking quite proud of himself.

I uncomfortably laughed as he continued on with his speech.

"Y/N, will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" Cormac asked, looking very confident that I would say yes.

I sighed. I didn't wanna do this.

"Actually Cormac, I might have to think about it." I said, wincing at the fact that I practically just turned down Cormac Mcglaggen.

His smirk slowly shifted into a scowl. He let go if my wrist finally and muttered, "Well tell me if you say yes." Before stomping away.

It took every cell in my body not to laugh at him.
