AN: Last chapter, so that means Roxanne, finally. And for the last time I don't own anything by JK Rowling or Bruno Mars.
Cause I can count on you
Every second of May since 1999, the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup was played after the dawn service as part of the Battle of Hogwarts Commemoration Day. Students were given the day off and were allowed to visit Hogsmeade if they wished. Hogwarts alumni, ministry officials and those involved in helping to protect Hogwarts were all invited. However on the second of May 2020, thirty-two years since the battle, commemoration was far from Roxanne Weasley and Cedric Wood's minds as they began their usual banter before a Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff match.
"This is our year Weasley. Hufflepuff will finally take the cup from Gryffindor."
"In your dreams Wood. Most of our team are Weasley-Potters, we're winning this one."
"You know what else is in my dreams Weasley?"
"What? A Puddlemere United recruiter telling you to drop out of school immediately because you're just so amazing."
"Well that and a date with you."
Roxanne burst out in laughter. "Oh I knew I could count on you for a good laugh before the game Ced. Us dating. That's a good one."
"Why is that so funny?"
"Wait. You're serious?"
"Yes. Why don't you think we should date?"
"Because when friends date, things go wrong. If we dated our friendship group dynamic would change. And if we broke up we'd never speak again. Take Dom and Troy for instance, they were such good friends. Now they hardly talk. And Maya can't stand to look at Fred. My best friend can't look at my own brother. I don't want our friendship to be ruined."
"You've really thought about it haven't you?"
"Every day since third year."
AN: Fun fact in my headcanon; Cedric badgers Roxanne for a date all summer until she finally agrees just before their seventh year. So we've reached the end of this fic.
A few FYIs: this was not posted in order of the ages of the cousins as I see them, for instance I see Roxanne as being the fourth oldest, but I posted her last, that's just because I chose cousins based on the prompts and stories I had in my headcanon. For those wondering why the Scamander twins didn't show up. The simple answer is that I don't ship them with any of the Weasley-Potters because I see them as younger than them all. But that's just me, I know everyone has a different view as to ages, houses, ships and that's their/your opinion.
Thank you for reading right to the end and to the person/hopefully people in the future for reviewing.
