This prompt is a response to meli-fan (winginoverthings on tumblr), (27/June/2014): "Imagine this: Arya Myrcella Gendry and Aegon are all BFF's and Gendry has a huuuuge crush on Arya and he suddenly sees that she and Aegon are getting really close and becomes a little bitch but when Arya finds out she's like *kisses him* "nah I'm giving him advice to woo Myrcella" and Gendry at first he's like "cool" but then he's like "wait, my sister?!". End of story xD" - Also doing it as a Hogwarts AU, because I watched the final two movies the night she prompted me, and that made me want to do it.

It had never been easy being placed in a different house than your bestfriends - of course he had Hot Pie, but he was a year younger, and last year Tommen was placed in Hufflepuff too. But still he missed the time before Hogwarts where no houses separated him, and his bestfriends since childhood.

But since sixth year started things were worst, having spent his summer in Arya's house (since his mom had died the past year - killed by one of the blood purist that still seem to resist in the new regime), he had developed certain feelings for his friend - but he wasn't a Gryffindor like her, so he hadn't had the guts to tell her before it was time to go to Hogwarts again.

Besides Arya, there was Myrcella - a Ravenclaw, who was also his half-sister - she was the smartest and most rational person in their group, even if she was the youngest she was always the one to tell them what was the point in what their pranks started crossing a limit.

And then there was Aegon… he was the reason Gendry was closed off in his dorm again (after having told Hot Pie and Tommen to just go away). Aegon was 7th year Gryffindor, he was one of the stars of the quidditch team (the second best, after Arya's older brother, the keeper), and of course, Arya wanted to be with him when school started.

Besides Gendry being poor (his father may be rich, but not once he had helped mom raise him, so why would he help now) and he was also an Hufflepuff - he never minded much before. But now, when he looked at their trophy display case that was so much emptier than the others, he felt he was less than Aegon, not good enough for Arya. Their last quidditch trophey had been years ago, when Davos, a player who had been playing as Beater since his 5th year, convinced his girlfriend to play as the other Beater in their 7th year - that year Hufflepuff didn't lost even one game, and in the end they had the cup.

Gendry had tried quidditch, and while he was strong enough to play as a Beater, he had been quite clumsy, and had fallen from the broom everytime he tried, ending up in infirmary.

Since he was already in his room, he tried to do some homework - he wasn't as stupid as people usually thought - but he couldn't concentrate, and much less when he heard another knock.

"For Merlin's sake, Hot Pie, I've told you I don't wanna talk," he yelled.

"It's not Hot Pie," he heard a clearly female voice say. "Really if you won't open the door, I can just use a spell."

Gendry gave up, stood up and opened the door. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" He said to the blond girl smiling at him with her blue scarf around her neck.

"Tommen let me in," she said, sitting in his bed and getting the little teddy rabbit he kept in his bedside table, hugging it like she did everytime she came here. He had it since he was a baby, but when he met his baby sister for the first time, when he was 9 and she was 6, he gave it to her, knowing he wanted her to have something of his - but last year when his mother died, she thought it was time to give it back.

"So what do you want?"

"No need to be rude, Gendry. I was the one who got stood up." Ohhh… shit… he had completely forgotten he was supposed to meet up with Myrcella, Aegon and Arya outside.

"Sorry… " he said, before reaching the conclusion that she had been stood up, that meant they hadn't appeared either. "Arya? And Aegon?"

"They didn't show up either. First I thought I had gotten the place wrong, or something. And I asked Sansa, she told me she saw them on the library, I went there, but they seemed occupied, so I came looking for you," she said, and he only thought that he was second choice to his own sister - he knew he was being unfair, but still…

"I'm really sorry, it slipped my mind."

"Because you were sulking in here."

"No… that not it," he told her, but she only gave him a look that told him she didn't believe him.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. Just know that you can always talk to me, Aegon or Arya." Not when the problem is them.

"Thanks, Cella. So what do you want to do?"

"Can I just stay here and read?"

"I don't have any bo-" but before he could finish speaking, she was taking one from her bag.

"Thanks, Gendry."

He did try to work, but soon find out he couldn't and settled next to his sister, ending up falling asleep, only to wake up when Hot Pie and Tommen entered the room, bringing cookies with them.

They sat and ate, until it was time for dinner, by then only Hot Pie could still eat an entire meal. So while Gendry ate some fruit, he watched Arya and Aegon sitting close to each other, laughing and sharing stories; he could see Myrcella looking at them as well, ignoring what her house mates - Sansa, Shireen and Sam - were telling her; but the Gryffindors seemed not to notice.

Gendry couldn't go anywhere without seeing the two together, she put her hand on his arm - it never bothered me before - and they were always looking over some paper - are they pranking someone without me… without us?

It was late wednesday, when he saw Arya on the same flight of stairs he was in, she called for his name, but he kept walking, faster and faster… until the stairs decided to take her side, and stopped mid-air, making it impossible for him to leave.

"Where are you going, stupid? I know you heard me call your name."

"I'm in a hurry, Arya."

"Why? I haven't seen you in days, Gendry."

"Yeah, and who's fault is that?" He asked, before stupidly jumping from the stairs to the floor, and running to his common room.

Next morning, Arya was at the Hufflepuff table, waiting for him, with rage in her eyes, so Gendry took the cowardly wait out, and just went to the kitchens to get some food. Along the day, he continued ignoring her, knowing he would say something he would regret.

For two whole weeks he avoid her, and for that first one he had to skip every meal, because she was waiting for him, or just come in later (or earlier). But while it made him think she still cared, those were the only times she came, then she would go back to Aegon and their papers.

But when it was the quidditch game day, he knew he couldn't avoid the crowds - it was Ravenclaw VS Gryffindor; and like most Huffepuffs, he abstained of rooting for any team. Both Stark boys, capitains in both opposing teams shook hands, before patting each other on the back

The game was exciting as ever, Robb would almost never let a point in, unless it was his cousin aiming, who knew all of his weakness - and you could hear his girlfriend, sitting right next to Myrcella in the Ravenclaw stand (even if she didn't belong there), yelling Jon's name.

Aegon did have an easier time scoring, and Gendry could notice how conflicted Myrcella's face was, betwen pride and happinees for her friend and loyalty to her house.

But Gendry kept his eyes in the seekers, Devan Seaworth - a Ravenclaw, son of the Hufflepuff quidditch legends - and Arya who was quicker and better than the boy, even without that background in her family .

Until it happened, a bludger was thrown against Arya, throwing her off the broom, and neither Aegon, Jon or Robb were quick enough to catch her. The game was immediately stopped to take her to the infirmery, but the game was re-started quickly, much to the boys' protest.

Gendry left the stands, giving a look to Myrcella telling her to stay, while he knew he needed to face the music. He found her quickly in one of the beds, she was awake and in pain, so while the healer would straighten her bones, he held her hand, and neither spoke, until the healer left, giving her something for the pain.

"Are you okay?"

"Why were you avoiding me, stupid? I want to know."

"You heard the healer you can't put pressure…"

"Why?"

"I thought that you may want some time alone with Aegon," he said, pulling a way from her hand.

"Why?" She asked but seemed to be good enough at reading his face. "Stupid… so stupid…" she said, pulling him by the shirt, and at the same time complaining about her shoulder. "Stupid…" she whispered before her lips were on his, they kissed for awhile before she pulled back and said. "Stupid… I'm giving him advise in how to woo Myrcella."

"Ohh…" he said, before changing positions, so he could kiss Arya - his girlfriend, right? - more easily, without hurting her even more. But soon he reached another conclusion, pulling back, he exclaimed.

"My sister! I'm going to kill that bastard!" He said, as the door opened and the three boys entered, followed by Sansa, Myrcella and Bran.

"Not if my brothers kill you first," Arya muttered.
