Authors Note: I'm not happy with this chapter, it's just a filler really, it gets a lot better soon. And a HUGE thank you to my reviewers I finally got to 100! And just a heads up, over the summer I'm going to Berlin, Costa Rica and Spain and there's no Wi-Fi so there will be a huge period of no updates so I will try and add up 2 more chapters before I go!

Callum asked her out the following week, she was a bit unsure of her answer at first but she eventually said yes. It was the schools new gossip 'A Slytherin and a Gryffindor! Together?' the Gryffindor's didn't seem too happy with Callum but they were nowhere near as bad as the Slytherins. They were outraged that Astoria was seeing Callum, 'She's a disgrace!' 'I always told you she was a blood traitor' 'My parents would disown me if I was going out with a Gryffindor!' this was the sort thing Astoria frequently heard in the common room.

However apart from the comments in the common room Astoria's life seemed to be perfect for the time being.

She was just thinking this during a History of Magic lesson when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned round to see a girl she vaguely recognised; she was a Gryffindor and she was extremely beautiful. She had long golden curls and chocolate brown eyes; she was almost the complete opposite of Astoria.

'Um yes' Astoria said confused.

'Are you Astoria Greengrass?' she said in a sickly voice

'Yes' she said bluntly

'The one who's going out with Callum'

'Yes that's me, and who are'

'Haley Dakota so it's true then you are going out with him?' she said impatiently

'Um that's what I just said and why does it matter too you?'

'There's no need to be cocky and it was well known that me and Callum were sort of an item' she said haughtily

'You were sort of an item? How does that work?'

'Well we never officially went out but everybody knew we would eventually' she said matter-of-factly.

'So you weren't going out?' Astoria asked confused

'No but the point I'm trying to make is maybe we would have, if you hadn't got in the way'

'So the only reason you're talking to me is to tell me that you want my boyfriend'

'Basically yeah' she said trying to look fierce.

'Okay'

'What? You're not bothered?' Haley asked confused

'No'

'Why?'

'Because he obviously doesn't like you or he would be going out with you now not me'

'I wouldn't be so sure, Callum and I are still pretty close'

'Do you actually think I give a shit? If you're trying to make me jealous you're failing miserably' Astoria said casually before turning round and ignoring Haley.

Haley huffed behind her and she heard her say 'I can't believe he chose her over me, she's a total bitch! And I'm defiantly prettier than her!'

'Yeah she's a total bitch' she heard one of Haley's friends say.

'Your way prettier' another said.

'Thanks guy's you're the best!' Haley said returning to her sickly sweet voice.

Astoria would have said something back but she thought it was actually quite funny how these girls were agreeing with her every word.

The lesson finally finished and luckily it was the last lesson of the day, she had planned to meet Callum outside so she made her way out.

She made her way over to their spot and she saw Callum waiting for her.

'Hiya, you all right?' he said to her.

'Yeah good thanks, so how's your day been?'

'Not too bad, I missed you though, its crap that you're in Slytherin we never get to spend any time together' he said talking her hand in his.

'I know its rubbish. So what are you doing over the holidays?'

'Just the usual spending time with the family and stuff, but my brothers trying out for the Appleby Arrows over the holidays, so by the time I get back to school he may be on the team!'

'Wow that's amazing, tell him good luck from me!'

'I'm also having some friends over after Christmas for a party, you'd be welcome to come, you can bring a friend if you don't fancy hanging out with a load of Gryffindor's'

'Yeah that'd be great, anything to escape my family'

'I'm guessing you don't get on to well with your family?'

'That's putting it lightly'

He chuckled at her and then moved in towards her, they sat there for a while talking but mainly kissing until it got too dark and they had to go back to their dormitories.

At least Astoria now had something to look forward too over the holidays!
