Secrets I have held in my heart (part 1)

Chapter 29: Christmas part 1

*BACK TO Y/N POV*

It was noon and the sun had already set. Hermione, Ginny and I were in the room talking about what we'd be wearing for the feast tonight. I had prepared a small spa day for them after lunch. I had already done their face masks and we were painting each others nails. 

'sooo y/n' said Ginny smirking 'how are things with George?'

It would probably be weird to be talking to your boyfriend's sister about your love life but I swear that Ginny was like a little sister to me. She was hilarious and had an attitude like no other.

'well Ginny if you are so dying to know, why don't you ask your brother?' I replied mimicking her tone

'already did, think he's a lost cause, only talks about you all day and Fred has to tell him to stop humming that muggle music you like so much' she said carelessly while applying another coat of nail polish on Hermione's nails

I felt startled but it was a pleasant type of shock which made my face hot and my heart warm. George wouldn't stop talking about me. I could feel my heart do a somersault.

'aww you're blushing' giggled Hermione, both of the girls had stopped painting each others nails and were now staring at me, making me feel even hotter.

'shut up Granger' I muttered, but I felt like melting at what Ginny had said

'you haven't answered Edwards' sang Ginny

'um... well' I stammered 'He makes me really happy. He's so sweet and so gentle. Every time I'm around him I feel like time loses its meaning' I felt myself dreaming away

Hermione and Ginny were eagerly grasping to each word and once I finished, both of them looked at each other and grinned.

'what's so funny?' I asked, feeling lost. Had I said something wrong? Did I say too much? Oh god, maybe I had.

'come on y/n, isn't it obvious' Ginny said rolling her eyes

'it's looove' both of them sang

'shut up you two' I said defensively, feeling my face growing even hotter

I stood up and pulled open my closet, to pick out an outfit and get out of the conversation.

'we'll stop now' said Ginny apologetically 'it's just a bit obvious'

'Ginny' Hermione tried to shush her but she was laughing

I ignored them and grabbed a long red dress. It was made of a silk material, it originally had been my mums but I had taken it with me just in case the occasion arose. The dress flowed down to my knees and it had a loose fit. I was planning to wear it with a white turtleneck since it was freezing.

'what do you guys think?' I turned around and showed them the piece

'it's gorgeous' sighed Hermione, her mouth was open and Ginny was still admiring it

'where do you even find clothes like that? All I have are hand me downs' complained Ginny

'This was my mums but don't worry Ginny. Once the year is over, we'll all go out shopping, to muggle shops that I know and I'll help you pick out things. In the meantime, I think I have a little something for you' I told her

'you don't have to y/n' she said slightly embarrassed

'don't worry, I love sharing clothes but consider this an early Christmas presents, I want you to keep it'

I took out another dress, it had a flowery pattern and it was long sleeved. I had worn it several times at Beauxbatons for any special occasions.
