Back in our dorm, the girls and I are getting ready. I put on a white halter dress with black straps and big, blue and purple watercolor flowers all over it. I keep my hair blonde and just curl it quickly. Rose is wearing a lavender lace detailed dress with her hair curled as well. Gianna has on a light blue dress. She has her recently-short hair straightened. Lucy has on a floral dress and her hair is in messy beach waves. All of us have on heels except for Rose, who's clumsy and inherited her dad's height so she doesn't need them. Seriously, the girl's like 5'9, none of us even make it there.
Finally as we descend the stairs, no one stares at us. We don't need the attention or deserve it. This is for the Quidditch team. They had a victory today. I see a couple people look up and start looking. Soon everyone stares at us as we reach the bottom of the stairs and make our way to the food. There goes no attention. Seriously! Why do people do this to us?! I almost make it the dance floor but instead I trip over something and fly forwards only to be caught once again by Albus. "You've gotta stop doing this. I'm starting to think this is the only way that you'll talk to me because you've fallen for me and my hotness." Albus says flashing me his million watt smirk. Inside I'm swooning at his hotness but I still have to remain myself "In your dreams Potter." I hear myself say.
I turn around and walk off towards the drinks, where my friends are waiting for me. "What was that?" Lucy asks, "Do you like him too?" Gianna questions, and at the same time Rose says "Whatever happened to Beckett?"
"What about me?" Someone else asks. All four of us jump and turn around to see Beckett, flashing a grin. Funny enough, he doesn't' seem as great as I thought he was before. It must be really visible that he really just wants to talk to me because my friends wave and head towards the Potter/Weasley clan, where they will hopefully distract my brothers from noticing.
"So since we never got that date, how about we dance right now?" He asks. I don't really want to but find myself nodding. He takes my hand and leads me to the crowded dance floor blaring some music that I don't know the name of.
Dancing with Beckett is fun, but soon I find myself bored. I desperately want to leave and go back to my friends. Beckett must sense my restlessness and says "Do you wanna get out of here? Take a walk or something?"
"Yeah, I don't really like to dance or crowded spaces." I joke, trying to lighten the mood. He gestures for me to follow him and I do.
We walk alongside each other until we reach the courtyard of Hogwarts. Most days, it's filled with students but now at night, it's eerily silent. You can see the crescent moon and the stars on this surprisingly clear day.
"Tilly," Beckett's voice brings me back to reality "I didn't bring you here for nothing. I just wanted you to know something. I really like you. Like more than I've ever liked someone. And it's scaring me how much I like you."
My heart was torn at his confession. Half of me argued that I liked Albus but the other half of me that always fell for every guy that liked me argued that I should give him a chance.
"Tilly, I've liked you a lot longer than before you ran into me at Kings Cross. I've liked you for even longer than that. And when you agreed to date me, I've never felt happier than that before. Please believe me."
Oh man! I suck at making decisions. I'm the most indecisive human being to walk this planet.
Cliffhanger! Man, I really suck! I'm going to try and finish this book this week like I said and I want everyone to know that this book is probably going to have a sequel. I'm currently brainstorming ideas on how to end this story without ruining it. After I figure that out, I'll probably start the next one. I also just want everyone to know that the main couple might not be together at the end of this story. I want to really build up to everything that's going to happen and it might take this story to let everything happen.
