Lana POV

"OMG, L!" Cassia ran up to me.

"Yeah?"

"I got you a date with Aaron Pritchett."

"The seventh year? Really? Cass, you're fantastic."

Cassia smiled modestly. "Well, Liz and Donna helped."

"Thank them then! You guys are great!"

"Be ready. For Aaron Pritchett. December 17th. We go home the next day."

Liz approached me. "And you will pine for him, until your glorious reunion in January."

"Guys!" I laughed. "Give it a rest! We don't even know how it'll go!"

"Well." Liz said matter-of-factly. "Perfect Ravenclaw boy. Perfect Ravenclaw girl. What could go wrong?"

"I know it will probably go right though." I could see their faces relax. "But it might not be that passionate. Tone it down, for god's sakes!"

Fred POV

"December 17th!" James yelled in my ear. "Get up! You've got your date with Kira."

"Yeah. My little sis." Quentin Stratton grumbled from across the room. "If you hurt her, you're dead."

"It's just one date, Stratton. That doesn't mean I'm in a relationship with her!"

"Hmmph." Stratton turned around.

"GET UP!" James yelled.

"Yeah, get up, loverboy!" Louis yelled. "Time to get over dear Miss Wallace."

"Wasn't into her to start with!" I yelled back.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Let's get you ready."

"Get off!" I shouted at my cousins. "You're ridiculous."

Later…

"Hi, Fred!" Kira called. She was wearing a short pink dress, and knee-high boots. "I'm so excited. Let's go!"

"Hey Kira." I said, as she practically dragged me across the hall. "I'm excited too!"

"OK. Where do you want to go." She slowed down.

"Anywhere. Take me anywhere."

Kira shopped for a bit. I bought some chocolates. She bought a dress. Then we went to the Three Brooms.

We were both drinking quite a bit. I bought drinks for Kira, who looked like she could be seventeen anyway, and was sixteen. Then, we met up with James and Louis who we drank more with, and Kira was clearly quite into me (not boasting or anything, it was the truth). And she was really cute and funny and smart, so I was into her. And we were making out.

To cut a long story short, drunk me had sex with an equally drunk Kira Stratton on the first date in the Shrieking Shack. Gawwwwd.

Lana POV

I was walking around with Aaron at the end of the day. It had been a great date. He bought me lunch, and a chocolate heart. This could work.

"So, did you have fun today, Lana?" he asked me.

"Yeah. I had so much fun!" I responded enthusiastically. "I really hope we can do this next trip."

"You are oddly…. warm today." Aaron commented.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"You always struck me as kind of icy. Today, though, you proved my impressions wrong. I've wanted to say it all day."

"Like fire?" I questioned. That seemed to be the direction of his comment. But seriously, what the hell, I'm ice. Ice queen. What's wrong with me? GOD!

"Yeah, I guess." he responded.

"Why do you say that?" I demanded.

"Don't really know- sorry to offend you."

"No, it's OK." I smiled up at him. He was really goddamn tall.

"So, I was wondering, do you want to go to Diagon Alley at some point over the holidays?" he asked. "I really enjoyed today, and I'd miss you too much."

"Aww!" I said. "But I'm free on the 2nd of January. How's that?"

"So it's a second date?" he looked at me hopefully.

"Yeah, yeah. Bye."

"Gotta tell your friends, right."

"Yeah. See you!"

Fred POV

"You WHAT?" James yelled.

"Keep it down, man!" I hissed.

"Sorry, dude. But I didn't realise you were that drunk. Holy SHIT! You slept with her!"

"Shut up! Drunken mistake! It was dumb." I defended myself.

"Well, you should go talk to her." Louis put in.

"I can't! I can't even face her. God!" What do you say to a girl who you intended to take on a casual first date, who then your friends got drunk who you then slept with? What do you SAY, goddamnit?

"I don't know what you say!" James said exasperatedly.

Did I say that out loud?
