I Love You, Fred.

6. Yule ball

24 December

Almost everyone had a date to the yule ball. Except me ofcourse with a few others. I went to the great hall for breakfast and saw Fred and George. I decided to sit next to them. George told me he had a date.

"Fred, do you also have a date already?" I asked curious.

"Not ye-"

"He wants to ask you but he was too scared, right Freddie?" George cutted him off and winks.

"Really Fred?" I asked him.

"I was searching the most funny way to ask it..." Fred said with a little stutter. "But now I have not the chance for that anymore so do you want go to the ball with me? Or else we are both lonely."

"I would love to" I said while laughing so hard that I got a stomach ache.

Fred winked at me and then we laughed even harder.

The rest of the day was quite normal. Well, Fred looked at me often, AGAIN. And I rolled jokily my eyes. In the evening we drank firewhiskey at the fireplace and joked a lot.

The Yule ball

It was almost time for the yule ball. I putted on my most beautiful dress and did my make up and hair. It was a red dress and my hair was in a messy bun with little diamants in it. My make up was soft pink with black eyeliner and mascara. I headed up to the hall by the great hall and saw Fred standing there waiting for me.

When he saw me a smile popped up on his face. I felt that I started blushing. But, I didn't really like him right? He is one of my bestfriends... how could I like him? I smiled at him and said he looked gorgeous.

"y/n, you look absolutely stunning. And this time I ain't even joking." Fred said with an open mouth.

"Thank you, Fred" I said while blushing and smiling yet again.

We went into the great hall where the candidates opened the dance. Then Fred grabbed my hand and pulled me on the floor. Then we danced. And we danced. We had waltz with the music and smiled at eachother.

Then a slow song came on. For some reason I felt butterflies in my stomach but I didn't mind. I looked him in his eyes. And we stared at eachother. We were peacefully dancing. Sometimes he made a joke and I laughed. Then we stared yet again, a little longer now. Something felt so right. He putted his other hand on my waist aswell and I putted my hand on his shoulder. I was getting tired and leaned my head on his chest. He hummed to me and said something.

"I am so happy I met you and that you wanted to go to the ball with me. This was actually more unexpected than ron's birth." Fred whispered in my ear.

"That was a good one. I am happy that I met you aswell freddie. I never felt this way before." I said slowly.

I looked him in the eyes and he leaned a bit forward.

"You are so small, did you notice?" Fred said with a smirk.

"Shut up" I laughed "you are just really long"

He layed his hand on my cheek and looked me in my eyes

"You're beautiful, did you know? May I?"

Then he kissed me slowly. It was like he didn't wanted to hurt me. His taste was sweet. A bunch of butterflies were flying through my stomach. I started to blush even more than I already did. He looked in my eyes after the kiss. He carefully tucked my drill tufts of hair behind my ear. We smiled and continued dancing. We didn't need to say more. I looked at george and his date. George saw me and raised his thumb. I giggled a bit and looked back at Fred.

The yule ball was almost over and there was rock music now. Everyone had so much fun and I danced with Fred on the beat. We laughed a lot and totally vibed. We also drank a bit but not much.

It was late and people left the yule ball. So did we. I told Fred that this was the time that there were shooting stars. I asked him to go to the astronomy tower with me and he said yes. We walked hand in hand to the astronomy tower and when we arrived we looked at the stars. The sky was beautiful. I told him about zodiac signs.

"Which zodiac am I?" Asked Fred curiously.

"Well, when is your birthday?" I said.

"First of April." He said proudly.

"Aha, you are Aries!" I said.

I told him I was a Leo. And yet again there was a silence. Just us looking at the stars holding hands and smiling. Sometimes we spotted a shooting star and made our wish. He was curious and asked what I wished for. I then told him I couldn't say for what I wished because otherwise it wouldn't come true. He nodded and also kept his mouth shut about his wish.

"It's starting to getting cold here" I mumbled.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer towards him.

"Is this better love?" He said with a smile.

"Nah, not really actually" I smirked.

He shaked his head and turned me towards him. I leaned my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. It was a bit fast. And so was mine. He hugged me tight. It felt safer then ever. Like nothing could go wrong. I wanted to be with him. Just like this. Peacefull. I looked up to him since he was so tall. His eyes were just like fresh wood. I had no control over myself and kissed him roughly. It was just the two of us. He kissed me roughly back and pulled me even closer by my waist. He was strong. He bit my lip and my cheeks turned red.

"You're all red I see. Just like a tomato" he winks playfully at me.

"Yeah like you aren't red would you say." I sneered at him while laughing.

He laughed and told me that we needed to leave before Filch would find us. He made a joke about Filch being in love with his cat and I wheezed. Then he put his arm around my neck and rubbed with his other hand my head and laughed. We went to our common room. Luckily we didn't get caught by Filch or a prefect and entered the Gryffinfor common room unseen. He told me to shut my mouth since everyone was asleep already. I mean... it was the middle of the night, what did i expect? He kissed my forehead and hugged me goodnight. I went to bed with a big smile and could only think about this magical night.
