The whole of gryffindor house had been called into a meeting with professor Mcgonagall. "what do you think this is all about?" I asked Hermione who was just about as confused as me. 

We were all split into two halves of the room with boys on one side and girls on the other. Wthe yule ball has been a tradition of the triwizard tournament since it's inception... on christmas eve night we and our guests gather in the great hall for a night of well mannered-" she was interrupted by the screeching sound coming from Filtch and some odd looking record player. she continued after loosing her place of speech "as representatives of the host school I expect each and everyone of you to put your best foot forward.. and I mean this literally because the yule ball is first and foremost.... a dance" the girls side of the room filled with excited whispers compared to the boys side which had some not so happy faces. "silence" she raised her voice drawing the sound to a halt "the house of Godric gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly ten centuries.... I will not have you in the course of a single evening besmoching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons" I let out a quiet laugh when looking over to the twins copying what she was saying. "and to dance. is to let the body breeze... inside every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forward and take flight" she was interrupted by a comment from Ron who clearly thought he was much quieter 

"somethings about to burst but I don't think it is a swan" I looked over to Hermione who was glaring at him with an angry look 

"and in every boy a lion prepared to pounce Mr weasley" she moved towards him "will you join me please?" she reached out her hand to him. I watched as he got up with harry giving him a little nudge and laughing. the look of embarrassment on his face was priceless "now place your right hand on my waist" 

 "where?" Hermione and I burst into laughter at the fear in his voice

 "my waist" she replied followed by a whistle from the boys side of the classroom. "Mr Filtch if you please" the music began to play with Ron and mcgonagall dancing in the middle. "1..2...3" she repeated leading him in the dance. I could hear Harry, Fred and George joking about never letting him forget this moment. "everybody come together" shit. I cant dance and I have no one to dance with. as all the other girl got up to dance me and Hermione stayed seated.

 "y/n" I looked up to see Fred smiling "come dance with me" I was frozen for a second or two in shock before Hermione gave me a little nudge to get up. 

I took his hand into mine and he placed the other on my waist. since when was Fred Weasley a dancer? he spun me around in circles and on the second spin it was a bit too fast and I lost balance but before I could fall I felt his two hand grab my waist tightly and he pulled me in closer closing the gap that was there before. I could not contain the blush running through my cheeks. we got so lost in the dance we didn't even realise the other students starting to leave. "looks like our time is up. lets head out" he suggested still holding my hand in his.

we were all sitting in the great hall for a revision class with professor snape. "this is mad at this rate we will be the only ones without dates" Ron was so paranoid about going alone it was kind of funny really. his head was suddenly pushed down back to the direction of his work by snape. "well us and Neville" 

"but then again he can take himself" him and harry joked 

"Neville has already got someone" I told them watching the smile leave their faces 

"now i'm really depressed" Ron replied before being passed a sheet from Fred that read:

  if you two don't get a move on there will be no good ones left 

"who are you going with then?" Ron passed back the sheet of paper. Fred scrunched it into a ball and threw it at the girl across the table. I believe her name is Angelina. she turned around with a confused look and Fred just straight up asked her. I felt my heart shatter and sink to the bottom of me. I felt like I was just going to burst into tears right there, but I contained the tears. Hermione and harry turned to me in shock and gave me a sympathetic smile. I just had to get out of there. I stood up from my seat and walked over to Professor Snape handing in my work and just walked fast out of the hall without looking at anyone even though I could feel the eyes of the table fixed upon me. Before I left, I heard Ron managing to get on Hermiones last nerve.

 "I WONT BE GOING ALONE BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOMEONE HAS ASKED ME....AND I SAID YES" I could hear her footsteps leaving the hall and following after me.

 "y/n I am so sorry. I really did think he would ask you. boys are idiots you know" I agreed before loosing control of my tears. "oh y/n" she brought me into a hug "we will show him what he is missing" she tried to reassure me.

 "I really did think he felt the same. the way he has been acting but clearly I was wrong" I said wiping my tears. she took me into another hug and we headed up to the common room. 

--------------------------------time skip----------------------------------------------------

I am absolutely dreading the dance "I might as well not go" I turned to Hermione 

 "you don't need a date to go y/n. besides I won't be with Viktor the whole time" she reassured me. 

I hadn't spoken to Fred all day and I wasn't planning on. the idea of him going with someone else just made me so upset. I looked up and saw harry walking over with an anxious look on his face "y/n I was thinking since we both don't have dates maybe we could go together. as friends of course" I felt a feeling of relief at the opportunity of not attending the ball alone 

"I would love too" his face was filled with a bright smile. 

"great but this doesn't help me now does it?" I could sense the annoyed tone in Ron's voice. 

whilst I was reading one of my books, I looked up and saw Fred and George sitting with Angelina laughing. I was not in the mood to be sitting while he was flirting with her. I slammed my book down and got up from the chair to go up to my room. I was stopped by someone grabbing my hand and knew right away who it was "y/n) wait" I quickly turned around 

"Fred I don't have time for this I am off to bed" I snapped pulling my hand away from his 

"me, George and Angelina are off outside to go enchant some snow balls " was wondering if you wanted to join us" the thought of them together made me feel so heartbroken

 "I am going to pass on the wonderful offer of watching your little flirt session with Angelina' he looked at me with a sorry look on his face "thanks for the thoughtful invitation" the sarcastic comment took him by surprise. I felt tears form in my eyes so I quickly turned and went upstairs before they could flow out of my eyes. 

-------------------------------Freds pov-----------------------------------------------------

"she is so pissed at me" I said to George who was sitting at the end of my bed "you should have seen her it was as if she was about to cry" I really did want to ask y/n to the ball but I felt like she would say no and I wasn't up for the embarrassment. 

"well of course she is pissed. you two have been flirting since summer and she clearly likes you back. i'm sorry mate but I doubt she will talk to you for a while"  thanks George this comment didn't help at all. I feel so guilty but I couldn't have just asked her. it isn't as easy as that. now she is going with Harry and I bet she will fall for him and they will end up together. 

I struggled to get to sleep thinking about how I had hurt y/n. I should just give her space for now and talk to her at the ball.
