EDITED 11/20/18

Today was the quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Ron has been a nervous wreck all week and so has Dean since he is now filling in for poor Katie. So I geared up in Gryffindor colors. I threw on one of George's old red Gryffindor hoodie that he let me borrow and I never gave back, and my favorite skinny jeans. Once, dressed, I hurried to the mirror and applied eyeliner as well as gave myself gold smokey eyes then finished it up with mascara and maroon lipstick. I reached under my bed and grabbed my boots. I was almost out the door when I realized I was forgetting my Gryffindor hat and scarf, once I grabbed them I grabbed my jean jacket and I ran down the stairs. Standing in the middle of the common room was a pacing Ron dressed in his quidditch attire.

"Everything okay Ron?" I asked stepping off the last stair, Ron turned to me looking frightened.

"I can't do this Lyra. I"m going to do horrible!" He whined, on the verge of tears.

"I'm sure you'll do fine Ronald." I smiled and patted his shoulder. "I bet you'll feel better after we eat!"

Once we made our way down to the Great Hall Ron's nerves were at an all time high. He was very hesitant to enter the noisy room.

"Good luck today Ron." Neville said as we walked in.

"You'll do great, just watch." I tried to cheer him up, he just nodded and we walked through.

"Okay Ron, you're on, I have two galleons on Gryffindor!" Seamus smiled as he came up to his side.

"Beat it Seamus! You're making him more nervous!" I batted at him and he scampered off. Of course as we walked by the Slytherin table had insults for Ron. "Ignore them, they're just jealous that you have real skill and they don't." I squeezed his hand and he smiled at me. We sat down in fornt of Harry and Hermione, I sat across from Harry.

"Morning guys." I smiled and grabbed some toast, smearing butter and apple jelly on it.

"Morning." They said in unison.

"So, how was it?" Ron finally spoke, to Hermione though.

"How was what?" She asked putting her paper down. I checked out and began eating my food and sipping my coffee, as did Harry. I only began to listen again when Hermione brought up Slughorn's Christmas party.

"I expect you'll be bringing McLaggen, he's in the Slug Club isn't he?" Ron asked bitterly.

"Actually, I was going to ask you." Hermione admitted looking back down at her paper.

"Really?" Ron sort of smiled. Just then, Lavender Brown walked up behind Ron and I.

"Good luck today Ron." She said bubbly. "I know you will be brilliant." Then she walked off.

Ron just smiled as she walked off, I personally felt like gagging with how obsessed she was with him. "I'm resigning! After today McLaggen can have my spot!" Ron tried to quit for whatever time again.

"Have it your way, juice." harry said pushing a cup in front of Ron.

"Hello everyone." Luna greeted out of nowhere. She was wearing a lion's head, she probably made it. "You look dreadful Ron, is that why you put something in his cup?" We all turned and looked at Harry who was shoving something in his pocket and he gave me a quick wink. "Is it a tonic?" Luna asked. He didn't really put anything in it.

"Liquid luck...Don't drink it Ron!" Hermione exclaimed but Ron downed the contents in the cup anyways as Harry and I smiled. "You could be expelled for that!" Hermione said in a hushed voice.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Harry said quickly.

"Come on Harry, we got a game to win." Ron said, smiling with a new found confidence. He and Harry both rose and walked away.

"I can't believe those two!" Hermione huffed.

"I wouldn't sweat it too much Hermione, I think Harry knows what he is doing." I defended.

"How can you be so calm? Yes I know I rigged try outs a bit, but this is a whole different thing!" She was worked up and I just chuckled as Luna built a pyramid out of her toast.

We were leaving the Great Hall with Luna behind us and I was facing Hermione as we walked and talked. I didn't really pay attention to where I was going until I ran into a broad body.

"Watch it half-blood!" His harsh voice boomed.

"Merlin, Malfoy it was an accident!" I glared at him as he did the same to me. He was in his quidditch attire as well which meant he was actually playing this game, as much as I hate to say it, but he was a pretty fit guy. I mean like his body is perfect and even more so in his uniform. I didn't realize I was looking him over until I saw a somewhat friendly but yet arrogant smirk. Hemrione pulled me away and we walked down the corridor.

"Sometimes I feel like I should really punch that boy in the face again!" Hermione snarled.

"Trust me, I know what you mean." I agreed.

As me, Hermione, and Luna made our way down to the quidditch pitch we did what any girls would do and gossiped. Mainly about Harry and Ginny.

"Do you think something will happen between them this year? Or do you think it is going to be one of those things neither one of them realize until we are all graduated?" Hermione asked, almost slipping on the sleek snow.

"Well, I may or may not have planted a little seed in Harry." I said cheekily.

"What? What kind of seed?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"Oh that Ginny may or may not like him. Nothing really." I grinned.

"Lyra! She is still with Dean!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I don't think for much longer." Luna interjected. "I heard them fighting before breakfast this morning."

"See? Ginny and Harry will be together soon." I smiled.

"Well what about you? You have been getting quite a bit of attention lately." Hermione teased, I tensed, and Luna was quiet.

"What do you mean?" I asked, playing dumb and hoping she isn't talking about what I think she is talking about.

"Well Seamus is clearly pining after you still Caleb sill sneaks little glances at you even though you called him a rodent, and don't forget our favorite Adrian Pucey."

"No offense to like one of them, but I'm not interested. Boys make everything way more dramatic than they need to be." I replied almost slipping and falling flat on my arse, but Hermione and Luna both grabbed my arms and stopped me. We just laughed as we all fell anyway.

So I have been writing like crazy guys! After I post this I will be working on the next chapter, I already have it writen!:)
