Your Love Is My Drug

“So what’s gotten you so giddy?” Fred asked as we lay outside near the lake.

“Nothing really, I’m just hyper” I admitted softly as I played with my hair.

“So Charlie and I were talking” Fred stated looking at me accusingly.

“What?” I asked grinning.

“I know that little grin on your face, and I also know how my brother is a sucker for brunettes. Spill” he ordered as I adjusted my head on his shoulder.

“There’s nothing much to say, just some fooling around” I admitted.

Fred laughed uncontrollably for a few minutes before shaking his head; “You will die old and have broken every man’s heart”.

Grinning I nodded; “And I’ll die proud of it” I promised him.

“So if you and Charlie get hitched and have kids, I’ll be godfather of the first born right?” he
asked.

I pretended to contemplate it for a minute before nodding, causing him to grin.

“How is it that you and Hermione are related but are nothing alike?” he inquired.

“Honestly I don’t know, it’s always confused me but I’ve learned to just shrug it off”.

Standing up I dusted off my jeans, “I’d love to stay but I promised Hermione that I would meet up with her in the common room” I told him.

“Are things still bad between you and Harry?” he wondered aloud.

Shrugging my shoulders I shook my head; “I think it’s mostly him being used to Ginny being all over him and not other guys, then again Ginny has no back bone when it comes to Harry. No offense” I added knowing that I was talking about his ster.

“Don’t worry; we’ve all realized that about her. You have a point but I’m staying out of her love life, I’m leaving that for Ron to worry about” he said causing me to start laughing as I walked back into the castle.

Cedric was going to the Yule ball with Cho, and now I had only a few days left to find a date which would be somewhat hard since almost everyone else had a date already. Entering the common room I found only Harry; I was about to leave the common room when a small second year came up to me.

“Sophie right? Well Madame Maxime asked me to tell you that you need to get to the school carriage as soon as possible” she told me before walking away quickly back to her friends.

“Sophie can we talk?”Harry asked as I was about to walk out of the common room.

“Sure, just come with me” I muttered as he stood up and started following me down a hallway.

“So, this more of a business talk” he warned me.

“Just get to it Potter” I told him.

“Alright, well I know how important it is for you to have a date for the Yule ball; whether if I asked someone before you. I know you don’t want to be known as the only girl from Beauxbatons not to have a date. And as a school Champion I need a date; and I’d rather go with someone pretty than a last resort” he spilled as we arrived at the giant Beauxbatons Carriage.

“I’ll be right back, my headmistress wanted to see me” I told him as I walked in; closing the door behind me and headed towards Madame Maxime’s office.

“You may enter Miss Granger” she spoke loud enough for me to enter.

“Now, I’ll just get to the point. I’ve been informed of your fooling around with BOTH of the Hogwarts champions. And we all know how Fleur isn’t the toughest from our Academy but one of the only few of age.” She pointed out.

“And you want me to distract both Hogwarts champions to make it easier for Fleur?” I added.

“Exactly; now remember you’re doing this so that our school wins this competition. It is your duty to help Fleur as much as you can” warning me she sent a look.

“With all respect Madame, we wouldn’t have to be playing dirty to begin with if I had been allowed to enter” I reminded her.

“Yes but you are not seventeen, so you have no choice but help Fleur out” ending the conversation she nodded her head so that I would leave.

I found Harry not too far away from the Carriage when I got out of it; more mad at Fleur than at Madame Maxime.

“So did you think about my little offer?” he asked.

“I’ll help you out; on one condition” I told him.

“What is it?” he inquired, somewhat worried.

“You help me get Cedric jealous, I need revenge after finding out he hooked up with Cho”.

“Does that include getting to pretend to be your boyfriend?” he made sure.

“If it helps you think that you’re dating me then go ahead; it’ll be better for my little plan of revenge”.

He simply nodded with a smile on his face as he wrapped his arm around my waist while we backed back to the castle; once we were in the school we started earning confused and shocked faces from everyone else.

“What are you two going out now?” Ron asked with a grimace.

“Yes we are” I said before Harry said anything.
