Never Is Our Always

The Moment They've Been Waiting For 4

(Minnie pov)

(continued from the last chapter)

Ron, Harry, Pavarti and I were sitting at a table as everyone danced, I was happily reading since Ron didn't want to dance anymore.

"Oh no way," someone groans as they approached us, "no way are you reading at the ball." I slowly look up to see Lee.

"What?" I ask him, "I like reading."

"This is why I asked Minnie," Ron said distantly, still eyeing Hermione and Viktor dangerously. "She doesn't mind."

"Come on, let's dance Min," Lee held his hand out and I made my book disappear.

"Is that okay Ron?" I ask.

"Go for it," he replies and I smile as I got up and take my cousins hand.

"Careful, my leg is a bit sore," I told him as we went to the dance floor.

"Don't worry," he smiles, "how's Ron been treating you?"

"Fine," I reply, "I think he's a little—" I pause as I saw Percy walking up to us, "sup Weatherby?" I grinned evilly as he scowls at me.

"I was coming over to say hi-" I grabbed his arm and he grins back at me.

"Hello Percy," I say as he hugs me, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"How are you?" He asks, letting me go. "Wow, you did yourself up very nicely."

"Thanks Percy." I smile, "And I've been doing great," I reply sarcastically.

"She's been in the library hiding from your brother," Lee piped up, "you know, normal stuff." I elbow Lee while he grins.

"Very funny," I say to Lee, "I haven't been hiding, I've been keeping up with my studies as all sixth years should be."

"Yes you should," Percy said, "but I believe Lee more, who's the one you're hiding from?"

"Fred." We both reply. Percy looked surprised.

"Thought he was your boyfriend by now, why are you hiding from him?" Percy asked and my eyebrows raised.

"Why would we— never mind, Percy, Fred's been a git," I grumbled, "even if he has apologised..."

"So, what's the issue?"

"He flared up her inner jealousy again after asking Angelina to the ball," Lee answers for me.

"I'm not jealous he asked her, for all I care he could've asked the Queen. It's the fact that Angelina rubbed it basically in my face for a week that made me angry." I told them, "oh Fred said this, he got me that, I can't wait to dance with him all night long." I roll my eyes.

They both look behind me.

"They're right behind me aren't they?" Lee shook his head.

"Then who is?" I ask.

"Fred." They replied and I gulped as I slowly turned around to see Fred grinning at me.
