Hello:D I was wondering if you would write a Hayffie Hogwarts au with Slytherin Haymitch and Hufflepuff Effie? Maybe at a Quidditch match or something? Established Relationship please! Thank you:)

This could be considered a sequel to chapter 413 but it can also be read alone ;)

The Hufflepuff Girl With Ridiculous Hair

Haymitch didn't really care about the looks he and Jo were getting but he was aware of them. Two Slytherins in the Hufflepuffs stands weren't exactly inconspicuous, all the more so when the Quidditch match opposed the badgers to the snakes. He supposed people were too used to sitting by Houses, even at that kind of events. That being said, Beetee and Finnick weren't drawing that many looks despite the fact they were in Ravenclaw and Griffindor respectively. The problem was definitely the Slytherin thing.

"Look at that!" Chaff laughed, punching his arm in delight as he pointed upward at the feint one of the Chasers had just pulled.

On his other side, Effie looped her arms around his and propped her chin on his shoulder, clearly a little bored.

"Haymitch flies better than any of them." she told Chaff before pouting at Haymitch. "I do not understand why you did not try out."

"'Cause I'm such a team player, sweetheart…" he snorted.

"Plus, only Purebloods ever make the team." Johanna shrugged from the bench below, not even bothering to turn around.

Effie pursed her lips at the other girl's eavesdropping but didn't comment, probably to avoid making a scene like only those two could.

Haymitch wasn't sure how he had ended up in such a group of friends. He and Johanna got along well but, since they were in the same House, it was expected. Chaff… Chaff had become his best friend on the first day of school despite him being a Hufflepuff. It was Chaff who had befriended Beetee and Finnick first and that had in turn brought them to Wiress, Annie and Blight. Then Chaff had fallen in love with Livia, making him forced to be around Effie most of the time…

And once Effie had decided she wanted something, there was no stopping her from getting it. And she had decided early in their fifth year that she very much wanted him.

Which was how he had ended up with a Hufflepuff girlfriend he sometimes wasn't sure he even liked because her voice was irritating and she was ridiculous.

Lately, her hair was dyed a pale sky blue with purple strikes.

He kept telling her it made her look like a clown.

"I am bored." she hummed against his ear. She wasn't much into Quidditch.

He liked the sport well enough but his muggleborn self would always prefer football and he wasn't really interested in knowing if his House would win or not.

"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked.

She beamed at that and nodded with a grin, immediately bolting to her feet, a hand outstretched for him. Why girls always wanted to hold hands, he wasn't sure. But, hey, she let him kiss her and sometimes, if she was in a very good mood, he was allowed to cope a feel over her robes so… He would hold her hand.

Chaff tossed him a disappointed look but Haymitch shrugged and his best friend rolled his eyes, understanding only too well that when a girl wanted to go for a walk, you went for a walk.

They didn't make it far from the Quidditch pitch before she pushed him against the trunk of a tree. It was a nice day, not too cold for the season, and he wasn't in any hurry to get back to the castle so he kissed her back, holding her close, trying not to smile against her lips because really…

He might have been just a tiny bit in love with the Hufflepuff girl with the ridiculous hair…
