It's been about 3 months into my 6th year. It's now December. Nothing dramatic happened really, I'd wake up go to my classes and go back to bed.

Honestly nothing has been awkward between Newt and I. We try and push what happened aside and forget about it.

We've gotten extremely close, it's almost as if i've known him my whole life. Which is a bit odd considering i've only known him for about 3 months.

But I know for sure I can't forget what happened that day. It was so embarrassing but Merlin he looked hot. Damn it what am I saying I can't like him.

I mean he is really cute, okay hot! But still mother said boys are trouble and I shouldn't be worry about them yet.

I walked down the hallway and notice a flyer hanging. I take a closer look and notices says:
"A Winter's Ball: Date- December 15th, At- 8:30-12:00"

Hm interesting, I'm probably not going to go 1. I have no friends and 2. Everyone's probably going to get a date and I don't have one.

I get to my class and see Newt. We have almost every class together which is weird but I don't mind it. I take a seat next to him as the Prof. start lecturing.

"So, did you hear about the Ball next week?" He says with that freaking cute smirk. Shit. Don't think that you idiot.
"Oh yeah! I'm probably not going though."

"Why's that?" He asks.
"Well, 1. I don't have friends to go with and 2. I don't have a date." I say bluntly.

He let out a slight chuckle. Fuck that was hot. "Well why don't we go together? You know as friends" he says.

I was a bit taken a back, "friends" he says..what if I don't want to go as friends though.

"What was that?" he asks. Oh fuck did I say that out loud?!

"Oh nothing! But uhm yeah we can go together" I say giving a small smile.

"Cool. It's gonna be fun don't worry, i'll make sure of it" he says winking at me.

A slight shade of pink appears on my cheeks. He lets out a chuckle noticing. I turn back to my paper and finish working.

After class is over I get up and quickly go to my dorm. It's Thursday which means there's only 1 more day till the weekend.

As night came around I got changed into something more comfy and decided to call it a night.

I cleared everything out of my head, the Ball, that day, even Newt. I just wanted to have a peaceful night.

I awoke in the middle of the night to a loud crash in the common room. All my dorm mates were asleep so I got out of bed and headed towards the door.

I was only wearing a (f/c) shirt that goes just a bit past my underwear. And of course my underwear, it's honestly very comfortable.

I scurry out of the dorm and into the common room. I look around not noticing anyone until I see a rather large figure standing to the side.

I get very startled but I don't scream, it'll only make it worse. My heart was pounding fast.

"Who's there?!" I say frightened at the sight of the figure.
"I uh...it's Newt" he says

"Newt why the hell are you in the (y/h) common room?!" I question him still a bit frightened.

"Well, my owl and I assume your owl woke me up in the middle of the night with this box." he says confused.

"Oh well what's in it?" I ask moving closer to where he is.

"I have no idea. It says your name on it so I didn't want to open it." He says

Why would someone send me a package, this is quite odd. Maybe it's a gift from my mother.

"That's a bit strange. Why would they drop it off at your dorm instead of mine?" I ask

"Yeah its kind weird." He says

There's a long pause of silence. It seems that he's just staring at me. Even though I can't see him that well, I know he is.
