Everything was a whirlwind during this time of year. Usually, if it was a normal school year most kids at Hogwarts would be getting ready to go home for the Christmas break. But this time around it was completely different with the Triwizard Tournament going on.
But boys were trying to get up the courage to ask their favorite girl out to the ball something that most boys had problems with and it wasn’t easy to ask someone you liked out.
You were with your fellow housemates talking amongst yourselves happily.
“Oh, I can’t help but wonder who will ask me…” Your friend said waving her hand as she leaned against the wall with a small happy smile on her lips.
“You always wonder that. You are hoping for one of the seventh years to ask you.” Your other friend said shaking her head.
“A girl can dream, can’t she? Who asked you by the way?”
“One of the handsome Drumstrang boys did.”
You let out a soft chuckle.
“Y/N who do you hope asks you to the Yule Ball?” Your first friend asked looking at you with a curious gaze.
“Anyone in particular in mind?”
You shook your head lightly. “No, honestly I’d be glad if someone asked me.” You admitted softly as you gripped your books close to your body. But there was someone that you hoped would take you to the ball. A handsome 6th year Hufflepuff who was the Champion of Hogwarts well besides Harry who was a last-minute add-on for some reason.
“Oh, I think I know who she is thinking of.” Your second friend said letting out a giggle.
You looked at your friends with wide eyes wondering who your friend thought that you would want to ask you. It wasn’t obvious that you had feelings for Cedric Diggory. It was something that you kept close to your chest and you wouldn’t admit it out loud to anyone.
“You’re thinking maybe one of the champions might ask you.”
You let out a breath as you saw Cedric walking by carrying his books. You bit your lip softly as you watched him before turning your attention back to your friends. “I’m pretty sure all of them were already asked or have asked. So I’m not getting my hopes up.” You pointed out easily to your friends.
“Hello, Cedric.” The two girls said with a smile to the sixth-year Hufflepuff.
“Hi.” He said softly as his eyes landed on you. “Do you girls mind if I borrow Y/N for a moment?”
Your friends giggled. “No of course not.” They said before leaving the two of you alone.
You looked up at Cedric with pinched brows wondering what he could want with you. “Did you want something, Cedric?” You asked curiously looking at him through your lashes.
“I um… yeah I did.” He said softly offering you a small smile.
“What is it?” You asked softly wondering what could have this poor man in a bundle of nerves. You could tell that he was rather nervous about whatever he was going to try and say to you.
“I, um… I wanted to ask you something.”
“Sure…”
“Would… would you like to go to the Yule Ball?”
“Yes… I would…”
“As my date.”
Your cheeks flushed in embarrassment. You didn’t think that he would right out ask you to be his date to the Yule Ball. “Oh… I…”
“Sorry of course you have been…”
“Cedric, I’d love to go with you.” You blurted out knowing what he had been thinking. He had thought that you already had been asked and said yes to someone else. But that wasn’t the case. You had a hope that he would ask you and he had.
“You would?”
You nodded your head shyly.
A smile came to his lips. “I’ll see you then at the ball.”
You nodded your head offering him a small smile. “Yeah of course.”
