I stormed out of the Great Hall, my boyfriend having just broken up with me. My best friend didn't follow me like she normally always did. She was with her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory. I walked over to the main staircase and sat down upon the last step, waiting for my best friend, Cho Chang. I sighed and staired at the floor, thinking.
How could Michael just dump me to go out with that Weasley girl?! She wasn't even pretty!Honestly, I am way prettier than her. Why else would Michael have asked me out? Surely it wasn't to get to Ginny!
"Amber?"
I looked up. My heart fluttered. It was the guy I had a massive crush on since my first year at Hogwarts. Harry James Potter. He was such a hottie. He was with Ron. I smiled rather nervously and began blushing like mad.
"Hi, Harry," I said, twisting my fingers around my hair.
I stood up. I was way shorter than Harry and Ron.
"What are you doing out here?" asked Ron, whose ears had turned pink for some odd reason.
I shrugged and said, "Michael dumped me to go out with your sister."
At this Ron exploded, "WHAT... SHE'S GOING OUT WITH... oh, wait till I get a hold of her. She'll be sorry. She will."
I tried not to laugh out loud but I couldn't help it. Ginny was going to get into trouble. This I had to watch. But at that moment I saw Cho coming out of the Great Hall holding hands with Cedric. They came over to us.
"Hey, Harry," Cho said to my beloved.
"Hello," she said uncertainly to Ron. "So, Amber, why did you leave the Great Hall in a hurry?"
"Num-skull Michael broke up with me to go out with Ginny Weasley," I told her.
I heard a gasp and saw that Harry and Ron were walking away. I was disappointed. I really, really wanted to ask Harry out today. Possibly right at this very moment.
"You think he's cute, don't you?" Cedric asked.
I nodded.
"Well, I could see if he's free for you if you like."
I gasped and said, "you'd do that for me, Cedric?"
"Yeah," said Cedric, "and besides he likes you too. He keeps talking highly about you to Ron and Hermione. I sometimes hear him going on and on about you when I pass him, Ron, and Hermione in the corridors."
I smiled and asked, "he does? Really?"
Cedric nodded.
"Go ask him, Cedric," Cho told him.
Cedric nodded and went back in to the Great Hall to find my beloved. I was really excited and nervous. I really, really, REALLY wanted to be Harry's girlfriend.
It felt like hours, but finally I saw Harry, Ron, and Cedric coming mine and Cho's way. Harry walked up to me, took my hands (I began to blush yet again), and said, "Amber, I would love to go out with you. You're smart, pretty, and funny all at the same time."
I smiled warmly at him and said, "same with you, Harry."
We walked up to the Gryffindor common room, hand in hand. Of course I did hear Pansy Parkinson jeer at us from the Great Hall. It didn't matter. I loved Harry so much I was willing to get teased every day for the rest of my Hogwarts years.
