Part 11- the yule ball

(y/f/c) -your favourite colour

(d/l) - dress length 

(h/s)- hair style 

"y/n wake up! It's the day of the ball" an excited Hermione was shaking me awake. 

"you do realise we have so many hours and classes to go through before hand" I said in a sleepy voice. I wasn't really too excited for the ball. I know I'm going with Harry but it won't be the same as what going with Fred would have been like. I have made a promise with myself that I will not let this ruin my night. who needs boys?

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

The day had gone by very slow and all my classes were filled with the sound of chatter about tonight's ball. I couldn't help but glance over at Fred every now and then and he would be looking as well. Whenever our eyes would meet, I would quickly look away. 

Hermione, Ginny and I had agreed on getting ready in Ginny's room since her roommates had gone home for Christmas. I decided put on my best smile (even though it wasn't an honest one) to get ready for the night ahead and not ruin the others night.

We had taken it in turns to get ready helping one another. "wow Hermione you look beautiful" Ginny and I agreed. Her dress really was beautiful. She preformed a little twirl in front of us and looked to Ginny for her to go next. 

When she was ready and dressed she walked out of the bathroom and did the same little twirl. "Gin you look amazing" her vibrant dress sent from her mother, was absolutely stunning on her. Ginny got a date also for the ball. She got invited by Neville which I thought was adorable.

 "your turn y/n" they both turned to me. So I got up off the bed and went into the bathroom. 

When I had gotten the dress on after a bit of a struggle I looked in the mirror dreading to see how it looked. I was surprised. I felt very pleased and felt pretty. The dress I was wearing was y/f/c and it was d/l, which I liked. Before stepping out to show the girls, I took one more look in the mirror. Once I decided I was ready, I walked out and looked to Hermione and Ginny who were frozen in shock "oh god do you not like it? does it look bad?" 

 "no not at all" they interrupted me "it is perfect actually" I gave a smile to Hermione who was still in shock 

"y/n my brother is going to be so mad he didn't ask you"  

 "Gin he has a date. I am sure he won't even notice i'm there. now lets do our hair then head down." I swiftly changed the subject. 

They had both finished their hair and all that was left was me. "what hair style would you like?" Hermione turned to me 

"how about h/s?" 

 "perfect" she replied and walked over to where I was sitting. 

When she had finished with my hair we all agreed it was time to head down. 

When we reached the stairs leading to the great hall, I pulled Hermione back "I don't think I can do this" I became extremely nervous.

 "y/n it is going to be fine and you look stunning. We can walk down together if you would like" she placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder

 "okay" Once we both decided it was time to walk down and head out, my eyes suddenly fixed onto Fred who was standing there smiling at me. Our eyes continued to lock until he was nudged by an annoyed Angelina. I gave Hermione a smile before she left to go to Viktor Krum. I searched the hallway for Harry finally seeing him standing with Ron. 

"woah" Harry muttered under his breath 

"you don't look so bad yourself harry" I teased, giving him a smile 

"who knew y/n could wear a dress" I gave Ron a joking annoyed glare. 

It was time for the champions to enter the hall and take part in a tradition dance. I had linked my arms with harry before we walked down the isle into the hall. As we entered, I looked through the crowed searching for Fred. He was no where to be seen. When we had reached the empty dance floor harry turned to me with a worried look on his face "harry take my waist" I whispered. Soon after the music began and harry was following the lead of the other dancers. god this boy doesn't know how to dance.   

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

I was bored out of my mind sitting at one of the tables with Ron and Harry. At least hermione looked like she was having fun. She was on the dance floor with Krum and his friends dancing crazily. This made me happy to see. I could feel Ron jealously looking over at them having fun "Ron you should have just asked her" I turned to him 

"I have no clue what you are on about y/n" he replied sourly. Boys really are stupid. 

As the room started to die down and the dance floor was becoming emptier after every song, my eyes scanned the room causing my heart to break all over again. I had seen what looked to be Fred and Angelina making out. Instantly, my eyes filled with tears "i-im going to go get some fresh air" I just had to get out of there

 "is everything alright?" Harry grabbed my arm before I left. I couldn't speak. I feared that if I uttered another word I would lose it right in front of everyone. Pushing Harry's hand off of mine, I ran out of the hall and headed off to outsides icy steps and sat down sobbing into my arms.

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

I am so bored. George has practically stolen my date. Not that i'm complaining. I wasn't really interested in her and she felt the same. She kept asking me about George.

 "is everything alright" I heard harry say in a concerned tone. This caused me too look over. y/n had ran out of the hall.
I instantly rushed over to Harry and Ron "what happened to y/n?" I asked. Harry didn't say anything. He just nodded in a direction across the hall. I turned to see George and Angelina kissing. oh god I bet she thinks that is me. of course she does. "where did she go?" I turned back to Harry 

"outside I think" I thanked him and hurried out to the doors to go find her.

When I reached the door, I could hear the sound of crying. I looked to the bottom of the stairs to see y/n slumped sitting on the stairs crying into her arms. Walking over, trying not to slip on the icy steps, I sat down beside her. "y/n I know i'm the last person you want to see right now but please let me expla-" 

"you like her don't you" she interrupted 

"y/n please just let me talk" she gave me a nod and wiped the tears from her face "I always wanted to ask you... but I had a feeling you would say no. But when I saw you walk down those stairs..I- well- you looked so beautiful. Angelina had no interest in me but had lots in George and I had no interest in her. that is who she is kissing. not me" I saw a smile appear on her face. I place my hand on her rosy cheek "god your freezing" I took of my jacket and wrapped it around her "once again always looks better on you" she smiled and moved closer next to me laying her head into my chest. I wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in closer.

We sat like that for a while before agreeing it was too cold to stay out any longer. I began helping her up from the step and placed a kiss on her forehead. "come on lets head back in" I wrapped my arm back around her before heading up to the hall.

 "Ron you ruined everything" we heard Hermione shout before sitting on the stairs bursting into tears. y/n looked up at me 

"don't worry I understand" she got on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on my cheek. I was suddenly overwhelmed and felt my cheeks heat up. My eyes followed her as she went over and pulled Hermione into a hug. I love how much she cares.
