Dates and other mishaps

JAMES P.O.V

Today was the morning we found out who we would be going to the ball with and to be honest I didn't really care as long as it wasn't Alice. I have had enough of Alice and her constant moaning about how they didn't give us enough time to buy decent dress clothes and on about Stacey and Zambini being a much better couple than Cally and Zambini. The one thing we actually agree on.

Fred and Jack were sitting opposite Luke and I, Fred was grinning like an idiot like he knew who he was already going to get, Luke on the other hand was dreading it, he didn't want to know and Jack well Jack just presumed he would get a "Fitty".

An owl landed in front of me and I looked at the other three boys, like me they had owls in front of them to. I grabbed the letter from the owl's leg and ripped it open.

Dear Mr. James S Potter

You are cordially invited to Hogwarts first annual winter ball

On Saturday the second of February

You shall be attending with

Megan S Nott

We do hope you enjoy yourself and company.

Yours Sincerely

Hogwarts Staff

I looked up at the boys to see their faces, Fred was talking to someone, presuming his date, behind him, Luke looked relieved and Jack looked well disgusted. Fred turned back around looking agitated.

"Who did you get Luke?" I asked as he looked the least pissed off.

"Jenny. Who did you lot get?"

"Your sister." I say hoping for the best he gives my family a run for their money when being protective over little sisters.

"Thank god it's you and not some dick." He sighed. I laughed relieved.

"Cally." Fred said looking straight at me; Luke's eyes widened and stared at me even Jack stopped looking annoyed and stared at me. To be honest it did annoy me a little only because I'm battling some inner feelings over her. I nodded and turned to Jack raising my eyebrows.

"Alice." He huffed. I burst out laughing.

"Enjoy."

Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear. Alice walked over to us and sat down next to me, pouting.

"Babe I didn't get you." I resisted the urge to smile and I winked at Jack. "Who did you get anyway?" She asked.

"Megan." I said already feeling that she was about to seriously offend Luke and Megan.

"That emo fugly slut who your brother hangs around with." She said sounding disgusted.

"Oi! That 'emo fugly slut' happens to be my sister so why don't you shut your fat bimbo mouth and go away. No one wants you here not even James so fuck off." Luke raged. Fred burst out laughing, Jack was biting back his laughter and I smiling so bad while she sat their completely red. She huffed and got up flicking her hair over her shoulder and walked away.

Fred high fived Luke, Jack and I let our laughter out. Then Albus and Dom came over sitting next to Fred who glared at the two of them.

"Now now Freddie bear don't hate us." Dom cooed. Al snorted and Fred glared at him even more.

"Fred lets go have this chat somewhere else." Albus said pulling Fred out of his seat.

"That was odd. Don't you think?" Jack asked. I nodded, getting up to follow my cousins. I followed them down the corridor as they stopped I hid behind a suit of armour.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Fred asked annoyed.

"Well if I got her then it would be obvious." Albus retorted. Fred snorted and I could practically hear Dom's eyes roll.

"Get over it Fred, anyway this isn't about us, this is about Cally and James. He loves her right, we'll get him to prove it to her, at the ball make sure he is near and kiss her, she'll run away and he'll follow he always does. So you get to make out with Cally and James and Cally will be together by the end of the night." Dominique said.

They had planned all of this. Great just great. Now all I have to do is find Cally and talk to her.

CALLY P.O.V

I was walking back from the main hall holding my letter I was kind of sad that I didn't get James. Yeah I know I was ignoring him but I was scared he would hate me even more. I walked around the corner and walked straight into James. He stopped at looked at me; he had a mischievous glint in his eyes and grinned at me.

"So Cally, you and Fred aye." James grinned. I slowly nodded afraid of where this was going.

"I need to tell you something."I rolled my eyes.

"Look James I know everything is a bit fucked up between us actually scratch that a lot fucked up between us I think we should just leave each other alone." I said but James wasn't paying attention he was looking down the corridor I followed his gaze and standing there was Dom and Fred. I turned back to him and raised an eyebrow.

"Look they planned this; they want us to get together at the ball. Just don't let Fred kiss you." He said turning away to walk down the corridor. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"What? They planned this? Fred's going to kiss me?" I asked confused. James smiled softly at me and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Don't punch me Finnigan." He whispered. I was about to ask why but then James pulled me close to him and grabbed both sides of my head and brought his lips down gently onto mine. His lips moved softly against mine and before I knew it my hands were clutching his hips and my mouth moved against his. Then I suddenly realised I was making out with James Potter in a crowded corridor and I couldn't help but smile. James pulled away and rested his forehead on mine grinning.

"You didn't punch me." He grinned. I laughed and wrapped my hands around his waist.

"James I need to tell you something." I whispered into his shoulder.

"I love you Cally." My heart stopped. He said it. He loves me. I grinned.

"I love you too James." I smiled; he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.
