Thanks to L'Homme Noir and Cheese and Onions for reviewing! You're the reason I continue :D and I'd probly be annoyed with myself for not finishing it…..ANYWAY hope you like :D
Robbie spotted Sophie sitting alone at the Gryffindor table. She hadn't been herself lately, Robbie suspected why but decided not to get into it – she would tell him if she wanted to.
"Hey you," Robbie sat down opposite her. Sophie jolted up and beamed,
"Freddie!"
Robbie pushed his hair out his eyes and he saw Sophie register the different colour, her whole demeanour changed, "Oh, Robbie hi." Her shoulders hunched, her face closed.
"Thanks for the excellent welcome," Robbie teased her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't been myself lately."
"Yeah, I've noticed, anything you want to talk about?"
Sophie hesitated and Robbie thought she was going to tell him the truth but at the last moment she said something else, "Just no date for the Yule Ball." Robbie was surprised, had no one asked her? He wondered what was wrong with everybody, Sophie was gorgeous! She just wasn't Leanne…
"Me neither, and Longbottom told me the champions have to open the damn thing so it'll be doubly embarrassing if I don't have a date, I mean the other two do…." Robbie glared down at his porridge.
"Really? Who's Pactor going with?" Sophie asked curiously, inquiring about the third, quiet champion.
"Victoire," Robbie grinned, he had been quite shocked when Vicky had accepted his offer, he made a mental note to talk to Teddy about it.
Sophie's eyebrows shot up, "You're joking! Victoire's the beautiful blonde girl – Fleur Delacour's daughter right?"
Robbie nodded his head in confirmation.
"But I thought she had a boyfriend, that funny boy – Teddy!" Sophie exclaimed, moving her hands around as the French do, gaining some of her past personality.
Robbie snorted, "You think they were going out? No, they're just best friends!"
Sophie looked even more surprised, "But the way Victoire looked at him! You'd swear she was in love! And who couldn't love her back? Alfred told Charlotte who told me she was part-Veela!"
Robbie was finding it very hard to keep up with what she was saying, particularly as her accent grew more pronounced the faster she talked. The bit he did understand was that Sophie thought Victoire was in love with Teddy. He frowned as he turned this over in his mind, Victoire had been quiet he last few days and Teddy was leaving for Christmas this afternoon, along with the first, second and third years who weren't a loud to attend the Yule Ball. He put two and two together and almost hit himself for being so oblivious.
He stood up abruptly, startling Sophie, "Sorry I have to do something." Sophie nodded.
Robbie turned around and spotted Leanne and Freddie coming through the door, Robbie stumbled to a stop and whirled back to Sophie, "Do you want to go to the Yule Ball together?"
Sophie looked at him in shock, her eyes strayed over his shoulder and they hardened. Robbie knew who she was looking at. She looked into Robbie's eyes, "I'd love to." She stood up and slipped her hand into Robbie's. He didn't object. They walked out of the Great Hall and pretended to not see Leanne and Freddie who were both staring at them, their mouth's wide open.
The second they got out into the Entrance Hall, they dropped hands. They held eye contact for a brief moment and though nothing was said, Robbie knew Sophie was using him and Sophie knew Robbie was using her. They walked their separate ways, Robbie was off to find Teddy, if he couldn't be happy this Christmas he wanted someone to be.
