Yay chapter time but I don't have any rights over the harry potter books or cast , they go to Jo Rowling.
It was beautiful , truly beautiful . In the front of the great hall sat an enormous evergreen tree , decorated thoroughly in the house colors . And an elegant gold star sat on the top of it . Snow was falling but it wasn't cold and it disappear before it hit the floor , Simply breathtaking .
"It's so Beautiful ." Moving my head Hermione smiled with a slight shrug , glancing behind me , she moved quickly taking a seat.
"Not nearly as beautiful as you." Turning I met Rogers eyes, with a smile . He knew how to play his cards right , unlike a lot of the boys here . " I Have a question for you."
"Yes?" Raising an eyebrow he smiled lightly .
"Would you do me the honor of being my date to the Yule ball?" Normally the Yule ball was help on the twenty forth of December but it's held a week early here , because students leave for holidays on the 19th so the 15th would be the date of the ball .
Many people had asked me to go with them , but I had turned them down . Hoping the guy I liked would ask me , but he asked another girl do my great disappointment
"Of coarse ." Roger as charming as he was , we was also a bit repulsive .
His smile broadened as he gave a slight bow and headed back over to the Ravenclaw table , reviving thumbs up high-fives and pats on the back.
"Oh my gosh Cass !" Ginny was at my side with Hermione . They both thought that Roger a hot , I mean who wouldn't , he's the Captain of the Ravenclaw qudditch team , smart , charming... but not my type he was a player . " You just got asked out by Rodger I'm so jealous right now!" They where gushing , but I couldn't listen . My eye focused on Fred , he was talking to George with a sad look on his face , avoiding eye contact .
"Are you even listing to us ?" whipping my head back around I saw them look in the direction I was staring .
"Yes , of coarse I am !" Laughing and sharing a glance worthy enough for the Slytherins they smiled. "So do you guys have your dresses picked out yet?" I really needed to get them off this topic before they dig to much.
"Oh my gosh yes! I love my dress." Thank you . Ginny was gushing now telling me all about her dress , it sounded quite lovely . Dark purple knee lengths . Some sparkles here and there . After about 10 minutes of them gushing, they turned on me trying to get the details about my dress .
"It's a secret..." Not the answer they wanted to here . But it's my choice . I like surprising people .
My mind roamed off to today's classes , it would be better the most days the six years will be mixed together with the seventh years , so some of my classes would be with Fred and George today , it made me for once look forward too the day . Little did I know , it would drag on and on , by the time is was last period I still had not had a single class with them , just a very awkward potions with Roger .
My last class today was Divination, normal I had this class with Firenze , but today I would be with Professor Trelawney . People have told me she's crazy and eccentric , but I just wanted to get this day over with . I can't candle another class with Roger ogling at me .
Walking into the class I look around curiously I've never been in this class before .
"Cass!" Something whirred in side of me and I turned my gaze looking eyes with two over joyed red heads .
Ever since a few weeks ago , with my incident with Crabbe , I found my self looking at Fred a lot more then I used too . He was also making quite a few more appearances in my dreams about once every... night . I'm not complaining though ,i really did like the dreams , they where odd a little random , just like him.
" Come sit with us and we will tell you your future." there hands where moving around a crystal ball , which seemed to have no response from them in the least bit , but it was cute.
I made my way to them taking the seat between them smiling .
"And I was beginning to think we wouldn't have a class together ." Before they could reply , a woman came sweeping in , her glasses like magnify glasses giving her fish eyes .
"Welcome class! I see so many more familiar faces ." Widely she motion her arms around gesturing to the room , with a smile . " But you!" Pointing straight at me , she walked forward till she was directly in front of my face . " I have yet to meet you my dear," To close for comfort . Taking my hand palm up in hers she nodded mumbling to her self. "Good . Good... interesting."
"Don't mind me asking but whats so good?" Slowly she looked up at me , her overly large eyes looking into mine.
" I see happiness joy and … a man the love of your life , he is close in fact you already know him . And soon you will come to realize it ." For a second I saw her eye flicker to my side before she traced a line on my hand . " But there's a secret , one that you know not , and what a secret it will be ." watching carefully her eyes widened . If that's possible. "Not good , oh no not good at all ."
"What?" Her eyes began too roll back and her voice dropped . No this isn't real she must just be a phoney .
`Blood and battles lye a head , you will loose many and part of your soul , a dark part of your soul , He will try to find you , he will try to kill you , and you will feel pain." Her eyes snapped close and she looked at me for a second . "I'm sorry what did I say?"
Shaking her head I met Fred's eyes
"Hey Cass , me and my brother have been thinking , you should come to our house for the holidays ." Ginny was in the chair in front of my as I ran a curler through her hair . "I know it sounds awkward but Harry and Hermione always come too and my mom agreed to it and really wants to meet you." Letting the hair in the curler fall loose I looked at her an smiled .
" Sounds delightful . I would love too." A wide smile broke out over her face as I fished the last curl, She looked stunning completely beautiful , She was going with Dean Tomas to the ball tonight , and he was a lucky boy .
"That's great my moms gonna be so happy to meet you ! She loves people , like really loves them . By the end of this she will probably have enrolled you as another daughter ." Laughing Ginny stood , in a white robe .
My hair was already done , pulled back into a sleek bun a small french braid going back disappearing into my hair . It was simple but classy.
"Go get changed the balls in an hour ." Pushing her away towards her bed she smiled , and Hermione walked out in a Light purple dress , It was flowy and just angelic really , she looked amazing .
"Hello there pretty lady." giving her a fake wink she smiled before heading away , I wonder who her date is .
Turning I made my way to my bed where a long white bag was hanging , it held my dress . I really quite liked it , A light green flowly dress that was longer in the back and cut up shorter around my left knee . It was strapless and jeweled bellow the bust . It wasn't anything to extravagant , but it was good .
Fred's pov .
"Are you bollocks? Why did you take her." George motioned his head over to my date standing cluelessly a few feet away . " I thought you where going to ask Cass." I told him , I was going to but , I couldn't build up the courage too . Every time we talked I stared at her lips , when she laughed I couldn't help but smile . I wouldn't be able to take rejection from her .
"Shove it George." Shaking his head , he looked at me . He was really angry with me over this .
"You don't even know her name do you ?" I did! It was …. damn .
I didn't want to here it anymore , I know I would end up agreeing with him so I moved over to my date . She was blonde with pale blue eyes and incredibly short . Also a bit of a dits .
"Oh wow shes beautiful." She spoke softly gazing towards the stairs , I followed her words my jaw dropping . At the top of the stairs stood Cassandra . Her brown her tyed back in a sleek bun with a small braid , eyes shinning brightly like a sun lit forest . Her dress was a beautiful light green , there seemed to be a few layers to the bottom falling sleekly from a diamond studded embroidery below her chest . It shortened at the front of her knee reviling her leg and fell to the ground behind her , in soft layers .
"Yes she is ." I spoke it quietly enough for the girl not to hear , my eyes locked on Cass's every movement as she made her way down the stairs , only to be met by Roger Davies , Jealousy shook through me , and if looks could kill Roger would be dead .
The room around me was decorated amazingly made me wonder where all these funds came from , The floor looked like ice but wasn't slippery , the windows where frost bitten and the walls where a light blue nearly white stone , a giant crystal chandelier in the center .
"Let's dance Fred!" The petite blonde pulled on my robes till I followed her to the dance floor , removing my eyes from Cassandra longing wanting to look back . The girl began dancing , in a way to any other guy here would probably turn you on . But I found my self always looking back at her , noticing her gaze once and awhile .
" Freddy?" The girl pulled on my robes again batting her eyelashes at me . " Want to go some where... private?" It's been a while since I had a good snogging , at least three months and that for me was a long time.
" I uhm... okay." I wasn't with Cass so what could it hurt , Following the blonde girl she smiled leading me to an empty hall . A minute passed and nothing happened , we just stood there awkwardly waiting . My mind drifting away , getting more and more repulsed by what I was going to do.
"Are you going to kiss me or what?" Tapping her foot she put her hands around my neck trying to pull me closer . I leaned in a bit , stopping half way.
"I'm a sorry I can't " I moved out of her grip walking , before I heard a sob and I stopped , facing her again. " It's not that I don't want to kiss you , I'm sure any guy would your pretty and nice but …. " I stopped awkwardly for a moment .
"Your gay aren't you ? I'm so sorry for pressuring you!" What the hell! Bloody no .
"No , no , no I'm not gay ! It's I really like another girl... a lot ." She nodded her head and wiped a small tear form her cheek with a smile .
"Oh I'm sorry. " I shrugged and looked at her sadly , I wish I was into her for her sake , but I'm not .
"It's alright , come on lets go back to the ball ." Leading her in , she went to her friends , who crowed around her like a flock noticing her distress . Causing me to get some glares .
"I know I said you shouldn't have came with her but , what you do?" George abandoned his date to come to my side .
"I didn't want to kiss her .."
"Ah I see , why not it's not like anyone's stopping you." He knew why , and it didn't help when he asked the question my eyes moved finding her in the crowd . "Just go ask her to dance , Bloody hell !"
"I can't it could ruin her chances with the love of her life ." Smack his fist his my shoulder.
"Your so oblivious! You think that fortunes about Roger , he's probably the last person ." Shaking me head he continued . " You've been watching her so much I though you would have noticed ….. Every time he goes to touch her she moves away , when he tried to kiss her she turned her head ." He's right , I had noticed some of that but it's probably cause she don't like public displays .
"So?"
"So! She's not in to him Fred and stop convincing your self she is ." I don't understand why he was so annoyed at this , but I guess he's just being protective .
"George , if your trying to tell me that I'm the guy from the fortune your dead wrong." Cause she would never go for a guy like me . I'm not hotest guy , and far from being rich , only thing I had was humor .
"Who says your not Fred . And excuse me I have to return to my date ." He left me standing there clueless , just looking at her watching as Roger grabbed her arm trying to pull her towards him and she resisted . George may be right about her not liking him .
Dreadingly the night continued on slowly , as happy couples danced around me , I only would dance to the fast beat music , not pairing up for the slower ones .
She was across the room now , looking angry as she pushed roger off , of her and walked through the crowd out the door .
"Go!" Some one shoved me in that direction , Lee I think damn had George gotten him involved? " This is your chance ." Lightly jogging through the crowed emurging through the doors as she was half way up the stairs .
"Cass!" Stopping she turned looking at me . Her face was flustered and angry . What had he done to her .
"Yes!" She snapped at me , but the anger melted as she looked at me closer " I'm sorry Fred." Walking forward up the stairs towards her I sat motioning for her too .
"Whats wrong ?" Sitting she shrugged .
"I'm getting sick of Roger and his gabbiness , always trying to touch my arse when where dancing and , he keeps trying to snog me ." something ticked inside me.
"That's because Rogers a douche who wants you for sex and cause he thinks your hot ." It was a blunt statement but it was true . I could tell she was offended by the last part . I made it sound like only he thought she was .
" And what do you think?"
"I think your beautiful." The words slipped out before I could stop them and I felt my cheeks heaten.
She smiled and looked down and I saw a pink tint to her cheeks . Slow music started to play around us .
" And it's obvious Roger didn't know how to dance so , why don't you let me show you?" Standing she looked at me funny.
"Huh?"
"Dance with me?" Reaching out my hand she took it and I lead her into the great hall , towards the crowd of people before stopping and letting go wrapping my hands around her waist .
I felt her hand come up around my neck and we began to move to the beat slowly and softly not really dancing more swaying .
My hands tighten around her as she leaned her head in the crook of my shoulder . Most girls weren't tall enough to do that , it felt right . This is what I loved , her in my arms smiling and holding onto me as I held her . Where ever her fingers traced on the back of my skin sent chills down my spine and electricity through my bones .
Too soon for my liking the song was over . Letting go of her waist I smiled down on her .
"Your a delightful dance partner my lady ." Picking up her old nick name she bowed and laughed . " And Ginny has told me , you have accepted our invitation to spend the holidays with us , we are delighted , to have you."
"Of coarse I accepted , your mother sounds like a wonderful person ."
"She is in till you get her mad." George walked up with his date , who I found a little odd considering it was Luna Lovegood .
" Hey Luna , will you come with me to the lavatory?" Cass looked at her friend who nodded and they walked off Luna saying something about nargals and wrack-spurts around my head .
"Now that's what I was getting at !" Getting pat on the back I smiled " See wasn't that hard was it ."
"Lot harder then you think."
