I'm too lazy to write in another language, mainly because I don't have school. XD. Yeah so hopefully you'll enjoy this next chapter and maybe we can get past all the depressing stuff.

Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling, so I don't own, except for Lydia, Bridget, her parents, Rachel, Adrienne, Lukas, and any other characters I forgot to mention or you don't recognize.

I woke up to the same sadness and depression I felt last night. I notice Rachel reading in the next bed over. I sighed. Rachel looks up to see me looking as if I might be dead, and on the inside I am.

"What's wrong?!" she asked. "You look terrible."

"Just depressed" I sighed again.

"You looked like that last night too" Rachel commented. "It's got to be more than just a little depression."

I looked away. I couldn't let her know she was right.

"Tell me" she demanded.

And so I did. "I've never told anyone this, but my parents disappeared when I was three, shortly before Voldemort fell." Rachel cringed at the name, but I continued. "They never came back, no deaths, no bodies, no trace. It just makes me feel abandoned. Then you remember way back in First Year, when Fred promised to take me to any dance? It was when you were first reading about the Triwizard Tournament. And then he goes and asks Angelina! I feel doubly abandoned."

"Lydia... I had no idea!... I'm so sorry...." Rachel looked as if she was about to cry.

"It's not your fault" I insisted.

"No, I now have two things I need to do, and why should I wait?" Rachel nodded and got up. "And it's all thanks to you" she smiled.

I blinked confused. What was she talking about? Ten minutes later Rachel was walking confidently out the door. What was going on; she was usually so shy and conserved. I shook my head and got up, too. I went down to breakfast, but there was no sign of Rachel. I shrugged and sat down next to Luna Lovegood who I was pretty good friends with despite the three year age difference.

"Did you enjoy last night?" Luna asked cheerfully. "I heard it was wonderful."

"You didn't-" I began.

Luna shook her head. "It was only available to Fourth Year and above, and no asked me."

"I'm sorry" I said. "It wasn't that amazing, for me anyway." I added noticing the wonderfully happy people that seemed to make up almost eighty percent of the Great Hall.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sure it must have looked amazing" Luna said staring off into space.

"Yes, it did" I agreed. I noticed Luna get a little pink before snapping back to reality. I turned around, but I couldn't tell what she had been looking at. I did however notice a chubby Gryffindor boy turn around quickly after turning pink himself. Did he and Luna like each other? If they did then I wish them all the happiness in the world, which didn't go to me and Fred. I sighed more depressed and quickly excused myself.

When I'd gotten back up to the Common Room, I noticed a lot of whispering. What was going on? I walked up to a couple of Fifth Year girls who were whispering profusely.

"What's going on?" I asked.

One girl with short, curly, blonde hair and blue eyes looked up. "You know how Adrienne and Lukas went to the Yule Ball together?"

I nodded slowly. What was she getting at?

"Well" she said slyly. "Just this morning he hooked up with Rachel."

He and Rachel had gotten together? That was great! I had always thought that they would make a good couple.

"It's nothing short of scandalous" a girl with brown hair and brown eyes whispered.

"Scandalous?!" I demanded. "What are you talking about?! They've liked each other for ages!"

"Then why didn't go to the Yule Ball together?" a third girl with short black hair and hazel eyes demanded.

"Other people asked them first, and they're both too nice to say no. God knows how the hell they managed to get the courage to tell each other how they feel. You all are just a bunch nasty, stupid gits" I said before storming out.

I was just walking angrily when I realized I didn't know where I was going. I decided to head over to the library. I walked in and was browsing when as I turned I heard someone call my name. It was Jason.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked.

"Sorry?" I asked, confused.

"Last night you looked as if you might be sick" Jason explained.

"Oh yes." Does lovesick count? "I'm alright. How are you?"

"Wonderful actually" he smiled walking up to me. "I was wondering you'd like to go out with me?"

I gapped. "Me?"

"Yes, I always thought you were beautiful, ever since I first saw you" he said.

"When was that?" I asked confused.

"You got to be on the Quidditch team. You were in Third Year, remember?"

That's right. It was me or him as the third Chaser, and I got the position.

"So what do you say? Will you go out with me?"

"Alright" I agreed. It wasn't like Fred was going to ask me out.

"Great!" he looked utterly ecstatic. "We, um, have a Hogsmead trip January fourth. Why don't we do something?"

"Yeah" I agreed. "We could.... I don't know. Do something?"

"Great! I'll see you then. I have to go work on my Potions Essay. See you!" he quickly dashed off looking like the happiest man on Earth.

Now why couldn't Fred look that way about me?

Adrienne, Rachel and I were all sitting down eating dinner later. I was dying to ask Rachel had happened between her and Lukas.

"So" I said, smiling at Rachel. "What happened between you and Lukas this morning?"

"Well, last night you said that Lukas probably liked me, so this morning I went to go find him. I told him I liked him and he said he liked me too" Rachel looked really happy.

"And what about you Lydia?" Adrienne said.

"What happened Lydia?!" Rachel demanded.

"Jason asked me out and I said yes" I said simply. Oh, but how I wish it had been Fred.

Rachel looked confused for a second, but I might have imagined it because the next thing I knew we were all congratulating each other. I was walking out of the Great Hall shortly afterward, when I saw Fred walking over to me. Just then Jason walked over to me and put his arm around me.

"Hey" he smiled.

"Hey" I said. Fred looked confused. "Uh, Fred this-this is my, uh, boyfriend Jason. Jason this my friend, Fred." How I wish I could be the other way around.

"I know you" Jason said. " You're one of the Weasley twins, huge pranksters."

"Yeah" Fred smiled. "And you're a Ravenclaw Chaser."

"Yeah, a fellow Chaser with Lydia" Jason gave my shoulder a squeeze and we walked off together.
