Ann-Marie and the whole of Gryffindor were celebrating their victory with a party in the common room, Olivia white on the over hand was sitting on the sofa rubbing the bruise in the middle of her head, Ann-Marie was imagining how to tell Alec about how she snatched the snitch from right underneath Kirsty's nose. She saw Alec walked in looking exhausted, she ran up to him and hugged him.
Alec looked Ann-Marie and unable to control himself he kissed her.
For both of them it was a moment they never wanted to stop, Ann-Marie couldn't believe he was actually kissing her while Alec couldn't believe he wasn't pushing her away. When they finally stopped the looked round the room, Olivia was holding a squashed chocolate frog in her hand with the chocolate burst everywhere, Henry looked like he was about to attack Alec, Crystal had a smug look on her face and Alicia smiled at them both. Alec looked at Olivia and gestured towards the door, and they walked down to the black lake together.
"So how long?" asked Ann-Marie
"How long what?" replied Alec
"How long have you fancied me?"
"Ever since I saw you with Henry just after you had broken up with Mike, I was scared that when I kissed you that I would just scare you away"
"How could that scare me away when it's all I've wanted since I first saw you" Alec held Ann-Marie close in his arms, she felt so safe just there, she looked him in the eye and said "It's like a dream come true" she leant towards his face and kissed him, there foreheads touched and they stood there looking in each other's eye's "I never thought I could do that without you running away"
Alec smiled and held her hand as they continued walking until Malfoy stepped out with the Slytherin's, all the boys were wolf whistling when they saw her and Alec holding hands.
"Wow, just like your father Potter aren't you, my father said he was always flirting with your mud-blood aunt, and now you've taken a step further and started snogging mud-blood Stargazer" she said as all the Slytherin's started laughing
"Malfoy, don't you think it's a bit pathetic that you and your gang have nothing better to do than stalk us to insult us?" said Ann-Marie
"Pathetic, well that's rich coming from you, what about your blood traitor mother and father?" said Malfoy, but before she said any more Ann-Marie had taken out her wand and flicked it, now Malfoy was floating upside down in mid-air
"So, my parent's are pathetic because they didn't care if somebody was muggle-born? Well don't you think it's pathetic you think it makes someone inferior to you? Because your one to talk about being inferior, aren't you Malfoy?" said Ann-Marie walking of with hers and Alec's arm's linked, leaving Malfoy floating in mid-air yelling
"What do you think your doing just standing there? Get me down you idiots!" Ann-Marie and Alec looked at each other and laughed.
News had spread fast that Ann-Marie Potter was going out with Alec Stargaze, and Kirsty and Olivia had started spreading rumors, Ann-Marie heard things like Ann-Marie had threatened Kirsty to give Alec up or that Alec was just going out with Ann-Marie because her dad was famous, the people who knew Ann-Marie and Alec knew none of the rumors were true, and that was all that mattered to them. On the train back Ann-Marie and Alec were walking to a compartment hand in hand, everybody with their noses pressed against the glass, Alec smiled at Ann-Marie and said
"You would have thought they had something better to talk about" Ann-Marie smiled back at him as they walked into a compartment with Alicia and Crystal giving them a smug look.
"So, how's the happy couple then?" asked Crystal
"Any kissing to get a chance to meet a celebrity or threatening Kirsty recently?" said Alicia, they all laughed.
"Well not so much kissing to meet celebrities but lot's of threatening Kirsty" Joked Ann-Marie as herself and Alec sat down next to each other as he put his arm around her and she leant in towards him
"So, any plans for how to stay in touch over the holidays?" asked Crystal
"Well actually, I was going to invite the three of you to stay at my house over the holidays" said Ann-Marie
"Wow, that does work, I am meeting a celebrity that means" joked Alec "I can't wait to tell Olivia, she'll be so jealous" everyone laughed and Ann-Marie joined in.
"Yeah, she'll probably say 'but it's not fair, I was meant to meet Harry Potter so I could persuade him to leave the love of his life so he could marry a big fat stalker like me, boo hoo" said Ann and everybody laughed again.
"So what day should we get there?" asked Alicia
"How about third of August? My birthday!" said Ann-Marie
"Well that's fine for Alicia and I, what about you Crystal?" said Alec
"Sounds fine, I'll be there," said Crystal,
Ann-Marie looked out of the window knowing that it would be the best summer of her life…
