"Where have you two been?" Lindsay asked suspiciously as she saw George and Cameron walk towards her.
"Breakfast." Cameron replied coolly.
"Uh huh." Lindsay said and sat down on a couch.
The common room was buzzing with excitement about the Yule Ball.
"Cameron?" George said quietly.
"Yeah?" Cameron asked.
"Will you-uh-will you...go to the ball with me?" He asked awkwardly.
"Of course." She smiled as George sighed and wiped his forehead.
"But-I can't be there. I mean, I would have to meet you there. I have to have a private word with Headmaster Dumbledore." Cameron lied.
"That's fine." George said.
"Great. I think I am the only one who doesn't have a date." Lindsay slumped in her seat.
"Haven't like 20 guys asked you though?" George asked.
"Yeah, but she turned them all down." Cameron said.
"Why?" George asked.
"They were all icky." Lindsay shivered.
"You just have your eye on one certain person." Cameron slapped her arm. "Don't you?"
"Keep quiet!" Lindsay widened her eyes.
"Fred?" George asked softly.
"Kind of." Lindsay stammered. "He is the only one who is normal around here. Every guy who has asked me was either a weirdo or a self-centered prat."
"He's going with Angelina." George said quietly.
"I know." Lindsay sighed.
"I'm sorry." Cameron said sympathetically.
"It's alright, I'll just say yes to the next person who asks me." Lindsay smirked uncertainly.
"You know, a bunch of guys from Slytherin asked her too." Cameron pointed out.
"Really?" George smirked.
"Yeah, I did put one on hold. The new captain of the Quidditch team. Maybe I should go with him." Lindsay closed her eyes at her own pitiful self.
"No!" Cameron said loudly. "He is way too...too Slytherin."
"Oh alright, I am going out for a walk." Lindsay got up.
"You girls certainly go for walks a lot...wait!" George pulled her back down. "Lee doesn't have anyone to go with!"
"He doesn't?" Lindsay raised her eyebrows slowly. "Well, I'd go with him."
"Let me go ask him, he is in our dormitory right now." George got up and disappeared up the staircase.
"At least it will be with someone I know." Lindsay smiled weakly.
"That's great." Cameron bent to look at her ankle. "Still all purple!"
"Really? Well, it should be gone by the Ball." Lindsay said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"There's George." Cameron said.
"You should get up there." George pointed back at the staircase. "He is not talking to anyone."
"Maybe he was turned down." Cameron said as Lindsay got up and ran up the staircase.
"Is he really upset?" Cameron asked as soon as Lindsay was gone.
"No, I just told him that Lindsay wanted to talk to him." George smirked.
"Your bad!" Cameron teased.
"I know. He'll go with her though." George smiled at his accomplishment.
"It's all working out!" Cameron leaned against his shoulder.
"Yep." George said and put his arm around her.
They sat in the same position for a long while, talking and staring into the fireplace. Finally, Cameron asked, "What do you think they are doing up there?"
"Knowing Lee and Lindsay, probably just talking." George smiled and rested his head on hers.
"At least they're happy." Cameron commented. "They aren't really like that, well, Lindsay isn't. But they are better off as friends."
"True." George said.
As it came lunchtime, George and Cameron walked over to the Great Hall and sat together at the Gryffindor table. Lee and Lindsay never showed up, but Fred and Angelina did.
"Where have you been?" Fred asked his brother.
"Common room, you?" George reproached.
"The lake." Fred smiled. Cameron gave them a suspicious look and poured some pumpkin juice into her goblet.
"Have you seen Ron?" Ginny appeared next to George.
"No, why?" He asked.
"Hermione needs to talk to him." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Say Ginny," Fred asked, "Who are you going to the ball with?"
"Harry." Ginny replied shortly.
"What?" Fred stood up.
"What's wrong with Harry? Would you rather I go with Draco? He has asked me." Ginny raised an eyebrow with attitude.
"Damn Potter." George muttered when Ginny walked away.
"You have to leave her alone you two! She can take care of herself." Angelina said.
"But--" Fred started.
"She is your little sister, we know." Cameron interrupted. "You have to protect her, blah blah blah."
"Leave her alone, she doesn't need you two watching her at the Yule Ball, it is supposed to be 'fun'." Angelina remarked.
"We'll keep them busy." Cameron winked at Angelina. George shot a look of terror to Fred as the girls giggled.
"Just don't bug her." Angelina got up and so did Cameron.
"Wait for me!" George grabbed Cameron around her waist, still sitting down. It was an awkward moment, but Cameron laughed and they got up to walk behind the other two. Fred and Angelina turned right down a corridor and were not seen at all later.
"I wonder what they are doing." Cameron said sarcastically. They resumed walking down the empty corridor until they heard a strange noise. They turned and there was Lindsay and Lee, laughing. They pushed them into an empty classroom and Lindsay locked the door.
"Hey!" Cameron yelled as she saw Lee walk away with Lindsay outside of the classroom.
"Look." George looked up and Cameron did too. There was mistletoe hanging directly above them.
"But it isnt Christmas yet." Cameron said.
"Who cares?" George said and kissed her but pulled away.
"What?"
"I just...nothing." George said and kissed her again.
"Breakfast." Cameron replied coolly.
"Uh huh." Lindsay said and sat down on a couch.
The common room was buzzing with excitement about the Yule Ball.
"Cameron?" George said quietly.
"Yeah?" Cameron asked.
"Will you-uh-will you...go to the ball with me?" He asked awkwardly.
