Chapter 2
I would be lying if I said I was not shocked by the fact that the famous Krum wanted to go to the Yule Ball with me. I mean, everytime I walked by him he glanced at me with a small smile in the corner of his mouth. Peyton kept going on and on about how I should be the one to go talk to him. I chose to just ignore her as I knew I could never do something like that. But there was something else in my mind. Marcus Stupid Flint. Him and his last sentence at breakfast was enough to take my mind of what was actually important, my future. Who was this girl? Random names kept going through my mind all day. Pansy, Penny, Lucia, Angelica, me...
- AH! I swear if you weren't my best friend I would have killed by know - Peyton scared me while I was walking back to the dorm.
- Not my fault if you are so distracted, hey listen, Hogsmeade this weekend right?
- Yeah, what's the big deal? - I said, really not interested.
- Nothing, just hot guys from Romania wondering around and ah and one of them is interested in you - she said annoyed. She bumped into a bunch of first years that looked scared. She made a funny face to them and hold my arm, stopping me.
- Peyton, I think I will work on a potion for you to cure this madness you have it in your brain. Can we please just go? - she looked over my should and seemed worried. - What...
- Don't look. It's Marcus, Higgs and Krum... - she looked back at me. - This is your chance.
- My chance to exactly... - we got interrupted by Higgs loud voice.
- Lizzy!! - we both looked at the boys. Marcus suddenly seemed stiff. Krum smiled and Higgs made a signal with his hands for us to get closer to them. - Someone was looking for you.
- Hi - I said, back at them, I was dying inside, burning red, probably.
- Let's go Flint - Higgs said - Victor it was a pleasure, see you at the Quidditch Practice dude.
Marcus didn't move. His eyes were on me while I was looking from Krum to Higgs to him. Why was Krum looking for me? My head was spinning. It couldn't possibly be true the gossip from Peyton. She left us with a smirk. Higgs stared at Marcus as if saying "let's go you are making this awkward".
- Actually, Krum, I need to speak to Elizabeth, I will be quick - Marcus pulled my hand and dragged me around the corner leaving Krum with not enough time to answer.
- Hey hey what are you doing? - I said taking my hand from his. - I don't have anything to talk with you Marcus. - his mad face seemed to het worst.
- Krum was looking for you but early this morning I saw him give Granger a note. He is a player. They were all smiles and stuff.
- Yes he plays Quidditch - I said impatient. I tried to walk away but he held my wrist.
- You are smarter than this. - he said, his voice was low and he was close to me. My breathing was heavy. - He's gonna play with you.
- Oh this you know everything about huh - I looked into his eyes. What annoyed me is that he always knew that I had a big crush on him. - Let me get played then, I'm 17 I think I can handle.
- Why? One more on his long list, is that what you want? - he was being sarcastic. I turned around and walked back to him, angry.
- Why do you care? - we stared at each other and he didn't say anything. He looked at my lips and then my eyes. My heart was racing.
- Because I do ok? I do. - he rushed his fingers through his hair - I would take a bludger in my head for you. Twice. Come to the ball with me.
I couldn't say anything. I froze. I turned my back to Marcus and ran towards the dorm. He called my name but I kept running. Bludger, huh. How romantic. Git.
