As the champions walked in, Adelaine noticed Hermione on Viktor Krum's arm. After the champion's first dance, everyone started dancing. Adelaine and Lee danced to a few songs and took a break.

"Adelaine?" a voice full of nervousness asked.

She turned to see Neville and asked. "Yes?"

"Do you think Lee would allow me to have a dance with you?" he asked, shyly.

Before Adelaine could respond Lee answered. "Go ahead, Neville."

"I would've said yes, anyway."

They walked to the dance floor and started to dance to the music. She was enjoying the dance but she'll admit that it was as awkward as dancing with Cedric.

"You're a good dancer, Neville." she complimented the younger boy.

He blushed and replied. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the dance, Adelaine walked back to Lee. Adelaine danced with Cedric, Fred and George while Lee danced with the Angelina, Katie and Alicia.

Adelaine was sitting down in one of the chairs that was set out when someone sat down next to her. She glanced over it was Viktor Krum.

"So, it's Adelaine right?"

She nodded and asked confused. "How do you know my name?"

"Cedric talks about you a lot."

"I have to pay him for that," Adelaine laughed.

He chuckled and asked. "Have you been enjoying yourself?"

"Yes, how about you?"

He frowned and said. "Her mi o ninny, hasn't really paid attention to me since she started her row with that redhead."

Adelaine shook her head and said. "They're known for having rows or so my boyfriend tells me."

Viktor nodded.

"Speaking of my boyfriend I got to go look for him, it was nice talking to you."

"You too."

Adelaine got up. She decided to ask ask George where he was.

"Where did Lee and Fred go?"

George sighed and said. "Fred is probably off somewhere snogging Angie and Lee went outside to get some air."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem."

She nodded and went to go find her boyfriend. She found him in their usual spot on the steps.

"Lee?" she asked.

He turned to face her.

"What are you doing out here, it's quite cold," she said, shivering to add effect.

Lee sighed and said. "I saw you talking to Viktor, I got a bit jealous even though I know it's a bit silly since you were just talking to him."

"Yes, I was."

"I know you have a thing for Quidditch players or at least used to."

Adelaine shook her head. "I assure you, that's in the past."

"Okay."

Adelaine nodded, sat next to him and said. "Now I have a thing for a certain dreadlocked Quidditch commentator and have for the past year and a half. Actually, it's more than a thing, I happen to be head over feet for him."

Lee smiled and said. "I suppose this is the way you felt when you saw me practically drooling over Fleur."

Adelaine nodded and said."Yes."

"It doesn't feel good, does it?"

Adelaine shook her head and said. "No, it doesn't but if it makes you feel any better Viktor seems to only have eyes for Hermione," Adelaine told him resting her head on his shoulder.

"I never though I'd have something in common with Viktor Krum," Lee said. amazed.

Adelaine glanced at him and asked. "What's that?"

"We both have a thing for brainy brunettes," Lee grinned at her.

Adelaine blushed and said. "I suppose so, I'm not the only one who's always had a thing for Qudditch players."

Lee nodded and said. "You're right, but none of them hold a candle to my Lainey not even the Captain of the Hollyhead Harpies Gwenog Jones."

"You flatter me." Adelaine blushed deeper.

"Let's go inside, I can tell you're getting cold," he said, getting up and holding out his hand for her.

She smiled, accepted his hand and got up. They walked back inside to see Hermione crying on the stairs.

"I wonder what Ron said to her to make her cry this time," Adelaine sighed. She hated to see the younger girl cry.

Lee shrugged and asked. "You want to comfort her?" Knowing his girlfriend all too well.

"She didn't want me to comfort her back in her first year, I doubt she would want me to comfort her now," Adelaine said.

Lee nodded and said. "Okay."

"It looks like the Ball is over," Adelaine observed.

Lee nodded and said. "Wait a second, I never got my kiss. I shaved for nothing."

Adelaine giggled and said. "If you hadn't been sulking at the fact that I was just talking to Viktor. You would've got your long awaited kiss."

"I was not sulking, love."

Adelaine smirked and said. "Sure, you weren't."

"I suppose it's time for me to walk you back to the Hufflepuff common room," Lee sighed, disappointed that he didn't get his long awaited kiss.

Adelaine nodded and he started to walk her back to her common room.

"You know the reason why I actually go to the Quidditch games?" Adelaine asked, sweetly halfway towards her common room.

Lee smiled at her and said. "No, tell me, love."

"You of course, your commentary always kept me interested. I was never bored. I'm pretty sure fancying Oliver was just a byproduct of it."

Lee blushed and said. "Thanks, love."

Adelaine glanced into his milk chocolate brown eyes and pulled him into their first kiss in four months or so. Bloody hell, she's missed kissing him. She pulled back slightly grinning at him. He pulled her back in for another kiss this one just as passionate as the last.

"Bloody hell, I forgot what it feels like to kiss you," he said, as they separated.

Adelaine smiled and said. "I know."

"Wait a second, I just realized you're not wearing your glasses."

Adelaine giggled and said. "Well, it took you long enough."

"I was caught up in how gorgeous you look, you were the belle of the ball."

Adelaine blushed modestly and said. "Thank you."

"Was I being a bit shallow?"

Adelaine shook her head and said. "Maybe just a bit, but I know you meant well."

"Alright."

"On second thought, I want to sleep in your arms tonight. Let's go to your dorm."

Lee smiled and said. "Works for me, love."

They turned back towards the entrance hall, walked towards the staircase and started walking up to the seventh floor.

Actually, they took a shortcut that Lee and the twins had found over the years. Lee recited the password, they walked in to the common room and then walked up Lee's dorm.

"Hey guys!" George greeted.

The couple greeted the ginger as they walked in.

"Fred and Angie are shagging so you may not be able to sleep, like I have," George groaned, glaring at his twin brother's bed.

"Okay," Lee said, as he handed Adelaine some extra clothes for her to sleep in.

She's never actually slept over night in his dorm before so this is a new experience for both of them.

"So, did you guys enjoy yourselves at the ball?" George asked.

"Yes, how about you?" Lee asked, taking off his robes, grabbing his pajama bottoms and slipping them on. He peeled off his undershirt and got into bed.

"I had fun except for the fact that Alicia left half way through the ball because she didn't feel well," George sighed.

"That's not good, I hope she feels better." Adelaine said walking out of the bathroom in the outfit Lee had given her.

"Us too."

Adelaine slipped into bed next to Lee, he instantly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest.

"I take it you two are going to be affectionate again," George asked, grinning at his two friends.

Lee grinned down at his girlfriend, then at his friend and said. "Yes."

"That's good."

The couple and the single Weasley fell asleep.
