Y/n's POV

I was walking down the corridor with Hermione and Ginny on our way back from our walk. The fresh air made me feel ready for what ever Fred did. I told the girls how I wanted to sort things out with Fred and how I wanted to go to the ball with him.

A girl in Hermione's year, named Lavender Brown came running to us. Running to me.

"Hey Lavender, what's up?" I asked

"It's about Fred" she said, she also knew I liked Fred, practically the whole of Gryffindor house knows.

"What about him" I said, hoping what I didn't want to hear.

"He's asked Angelina to the ball and he is flirting with her" she said. Tears prickled my eyes, it was to be expected but I was hoping not.

"Thank you for telling me Lavender" I said trying to sound normal and not ripped to pieces inside.

"I'm sorry y/n, someone had to tell you" she said. Me and her hugged before she went off somewhere.

As soon as she left, tears flooded down my face, I couldn't control it anymore. I slid down the wall to the floor. My head burrowed into my knees and my arms wrapped around my legs.

I felt Hermione and Ginny sit either side of me. They pulled me into a huge hug, Ginny was rubbing my head and Hermione was rubbing my arm. I did feel better that they were there next to me.

After 5 minutes, I lifted my head off my knees, my eyes were red and puffy. I wanted to go to my dorm and be alone for a while.

"I'm ready to go in there" I muttered

"Okay, we have your back y/n" Ginny reassured.

I thank them and went to the portrait hole. The door flew open and I crawled in. I looked over to our sofa, Fred was sitting there his arm was wrapped around Angelina who was all over him.

Me made eye contact, I made sure he could see my red puffy eyes and wet robes of my tears. I broke eye contact and headed towards the stairs.

"Y/n" Fred called after me, I didn't turn around but sped up. Fred soon caught up to me and grabbed my arm. "Y/n please let me explain" he begged.

"Don't touch me" I yelled as I yanked my hand from his grip. "What could you possibly say to me, you called me a liar, talked and flirted to Angelina, and now try and act like the victim" I turned around but he yet again grabbed my arm.

"DON'T TOUCH ME FRED, AND DON'T ACT LIKE YOU CARE. I KNOW YOU DON'T" I yelled. Tears once again forming in my eyes and I once again pulled my arm away.

"I thought you wanted to go with Diggory" he stuttered.

"WELL MAYBE I WANTED TO GO WITH YOU!" I snapped. I nodded for Hermione and Ginny to grab Fred so I could get up to my room in peace.

"Y/N please" I heard Fred yell before I slammed the door to my dorm. A minute later I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in" I said through the tears

"Y/n it's us" Hermione and Ginny said simultaneously. They closed the door behind them and sat either side of me. Ginny gave me a roll of tissues for me to cry into. I used the whole roll throughout the rest of the day.

After about a hour of then comforting me I politely asked "girls. I appreciate you being here, but can I be alone for a bit please"

"Of course" Hermione said. They both got up and left to go to the common room. I heard them yell, I assumed at Fred. I laid on my bed and fell asleep until the morning.

Fred's POV:
(After the dance lesson)

I walked back to the common room with George and Lee after I failed to talk to y/n again. I sat there for about 30 minutes contemplating my decision staring into the roaring fire. That's when I heard a familiar voice

"Hey Freddie, are you okay?" I heard Angelina Johnson say.

"Yeah" I lied "Just practicing something in my head"

"Well what is it" she asked.

"If you would like to go to the Yule ball with me?" I spat out, I was practicing that for y/n, not her.

Angelina squealed with excitement "of course I will"

In that moment I forgot about y/n. I was sure that a Cedric would ask her, I became happy that I finally had a date. I wrapped my arm around her and she placed her head on my shoulder and playing with my hair.

I sat there for about 30 minutes flirting with her and joking around, until I heard some crying. I didn't think it was y/n. Their walks take longer than 30 minutes.

I soon heard the crying stop and it was back to normal for 5 or so minutes, I heard the portrait hole open and heard someone climb through.

I was shocked to see y/n there. We made eye contact, I noticed that her eyes were red and puffy and her robes had wet patches on them. She was the once crying. My heart broke, I had caused her to break down like that, I feel absolutely awful. Hermione and Ginny were giving me evil stares. That's when I knew it was my fault.

She broke eye contact and started walking to her dorm. I had to do something.

"One minute please" I said to Angelina as a stood up and ran after her. "Y/n" I yelled. She didn't respond. I ran up to her and grabbed her arm, hoping I can say what I wanted to say. "Y/n please let me explain" I begged.

"Don't touch me" She yelled as she yanked her hand from my grip. "What could you possibly say to me, you called me a liar, talked and flirted to Angelina, and now try and act like the victim" She turned around to walk away but I yet again grabbed her arm.

"DON'T TOUCH ME FRED, AND DON'T ACT LIKE YOU CARE. I KNOW YOU DON'T" She yelled. Tears forming in her eyes and she once again pulled her arm away. I couldn't let her go that easily. So I said to her

"I thought you wanted to go with Diggory" I stuttered.

"WELL MAYBE I WANTED TO GO WITH YOU!" She snapped. She nodded at people behind me. That's when I felt Hermione and Ginny to grab me so I couldn't get to talk to her and so she could get up to her room in peace.

"Y/N please" I yelled before she slammed the door to her dorm. I lost my chance to get things right.

"We'll deal with you later" Ginny said as she and Hermione barged me to go and comfort a crying y/n.

I sat back down on the sofa, Angelina had done somewhere with Katie Bell. George and Lee sat either side of me. They didn't say anything but instead rubbed my back as some tears were rolling down my cheeks.

About a hour passed by, I heard a door open, I hoped it was y/n so I could get things right. But instead it was Ginny and Hermione who both looked equally fuming.

"FREDRICK GIDEON WEASLEY" Ginny yelled, I never knew how scary my little sister can be.

I stood up "what" I said with a accidental attitude. I saw Ginny go red.

"You know what Fred" yelled Hermione "y/n is up there crying a river because of you" I never heard Hermione yell before. But it was something I never wanted to hear again

"Your a coward Fredrick" snapped Ginny.

"It's not my fault" I pleaded. I realised the mistake I made saying that.

"It's not your fault" Ginny scoffed. "IF COURSE ITS YOUR FAULT FRED! You called her a liar, you asked Angelina to the ball, even though she was desperate for YOU to take her, you flirted with Angelina and then tried to play the victim. You cannot stand there and say it's not your fault, you disgust me" Finished Ginny. She nodded to Hermione and she raised her wand at me

"Stupify" she called out. I fell to the floor, numb and unable to move for a minute. When I stood up again both girls were gone. I went to my dorm, changed and laid down realising the awful decision I made.

Y/n's POV:

The next morning I woke up still in my robes from yesterday and surrounded by a pool of tissues. I looked over to see Hermione in her bed and Ginny on a mattress on the floor still fast asleep. The time was 5:55am, no wonder why they were still asleep.

I looked over to see two small pieces of parchment on my bedside table. I took the notes and read it. It read.

To the beautiful y/n

We are both so sorry about Fred's actions tonight. We know he was out of order for doing that. We are both on your side in this situation. You are so brave and we both admire you. See you in the morning

From
George and Lee

I smiled at the thought that they had actually written me a note. They must have given it to Hermione last night. I opened the other note first and it read

To y/n,

We dealt with Fred for you. We put him in his place. We are so proud of you, you handled it like a queen and we hope someone is lucky enough to ask you to the ball. We've left your uniform for today out and it's on your trunk lid.

From
Hermione and Ginny.

I once again smiled at the thought that they did that for me. I leaned over to find my uniform neatly folded with a small note on top that read
Show Fred what he's missing

I quietly stood up and went into the bathroom to shower, clean my teeth and curl my hair using a spell and made sure they looked this good all day. I then changed into my uniform and added a bit of mascara to my eyes. I'm going to walk past him today and show him exactly what he's missing.

I walked out of the bathroom to see Hermione and Ginny fully dressed and opened mouthed.

"Good morning you two" I said

"Y/n you look beautiful" Hermione said

"Your going to show exactly what Fred is missing."

We all grabbed our books and bags before going down to the great hall for breakfast. I looked around the door to see Fred and Angelina uncomfortably close to each other.

"You got this y/n, walk in and come sit with us. He will definitely look at you" Ginny said as she and Hermione walked into the hall holding my bag.

I heard Fred say "where's y/n". I rolled my eyes and this.

"Look over there Fred" Ginny said sarcastically.

I walked into the great hall looking powerful. My hair bounced perfectly, my robes were flaring at the end. I looked perfect. As I walked I noticed Fred staring at me open mouthed. I walked past and sat down next to Ginny who wasn't too far away from Fred. Fred still staring at my but was now has Angelina to stop him staring at me.

"That was awesome" Hermione said happily.

"You looked so good" Ginny continued.

"Thanks girls" I said as I started eating my breakfast.

"Y/n, Cedric is walking right at you" Hermione said. At that moment I heard a

"Good morning y/n" I turned around to see Cedric Diggory standing there "how are you" he asked.

"Great, you?" I replied.

"Not to bad. Have you got a date yet for the Yule ball?" He asked.

"No I haven't" I replied as I shot a gaze at Fred, who was already looking at me, I saw him lean closer so he could hear the full conversation.

"Well, neither have I" he said. Butterflies filled my stomach in anticipation "would I have the pleasure to take you to the ball with me y/n y/l/n"

"The pleasure would be mine, of course I would" I replied, Fred gave me a sad look but turned back to his conversation.

"Amazing, thank you y/n" he leaned over, kissed my cheek and walked off.

I turned around and me, Hermione and Ginny all squealed.

"Your going with Cedric" Ginny said loud enough that Fred could hear.

"And I have a secret" Hermione said

"What is it" me and Ginny asked at the same time.

She leaned in to the middle of the table, me and Ginny leaned in to so we were nearly touching foreheads "Viktor Krum is taking me to the ball. You can't tell anyone, especially Ronald" she whispered.

Again all three of us squealed with excitement.

"And one more thing" added Ginny. "Neville asked me to the ball"

For a third time we squealed. We planned a date to go shopping for dresses and headed off to our classes. Me avoiding conversation with Fred but still showing him what he lost.

Authors note: Sorry for the long part today, I wanted to get all the date drama so I can focus on the Yule bull which will be in a couple of chapters time. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter.Have a great day :)
