Your Love Is My Drug

“And there’s no way of sneaking out tonight?” Charlie inquired as I got ready to leave his apartment.

“Charlie, you know I would if I could. But it’ll look suspicious if one of the champion’s date isn’t around him” I reminded him.

Nodding he handed me my cardigan as I stood up and put on my heels. “You know you’re pretty short without those one” he pointed out amused.

“Don’t make fun of my height” I muttered as I stood up.

“Now come on, I have to be there before seven or I’ll be screwed without enough time” I murmured.

“You could have just gone with me” he offered.

“I have a deal with Harry” I muttered under my breath as I walked towards his front door.

“Will you apparate me or do I have do it myself?” I asked him, earning a chuckle from him.

“Calm down, I’m coming” he muttered as he walked with me out of his apartment building.

Once I got back to Hogsmead I pecked his lips goodbye and walked up to the school. Luckily all my stuff was already at the carriage so when I got there I would just have to change and have Audrey and Leah help me out with the rest of my things.

“Thank god you’re back, I’ve had both Harry and Cedric come out here and ask to talk to you. I kept insisting you were taking a bath or too busy with your nails” Audrey exclaimed as I walked into an empty dorm room in the carriage.

“Well that’s why I have amazing best friends to help me out” I smirked as I started working on my hair.

“You do your make up while we work on your hair” Leah ordered as she entered the room.

“How long did you two take to get ready?” I inquired softly.

“Just a few hours” they admitted as I slid into my dress.

“You look gorgeous” telling me in unison the smiled.

“Are you sure?” I asked softly looking into the mirror.

“Harry will drop dead when he see’s you” Audrey assured me as she passed me my shoes.

“Thanks” I took the shoes and put them on, and started heading towards the front door so I could head up to the castle, Audrey and Leah were going to picked up by their dates at the Carriage.

“Are you waiting for Harry?” Cedric inquired as he walked up to me.

I nodded; “I actually want to ask you something, can we meet up later? I need to talk to you about something” I murmured softly.

“Sure, around eleven?” he asked.

“I’ll find you near the staircase” I informed him as Cho walked up to us.

“Sophie. You look pretty” she muttered, somewhat courteous.

“Thank you, the same to you” I complimented her.

“We have to look pretty, being the champions’ dates and all” she pointed out.

“Yes, you two look gorgeous” Cedric ended the conversation sending a strict look at Cho.

“Thank you” I repeated as I saw Harry walk down the stairs that led out near the Great Hall.

“If you excuse me” walking away I met up with Harry, who had a smile on his face.

“You look spectacular” he murmured looking at me.

Smiling I nodded, “You don’t look so bad either” I pointed out.

He chuckled, kissing my cheek. “So what where you and Cho talking about?” he asked as Ron and Padma walked up to us.

“You look beautiful” Padma greeted me with a smile.

“Thank you, as do you” as I complimented her I looked around for Hermione.

“Have you seen Hermione?” I asked Ron.

“Probably in her room crying her eyes out” he muttered causing me to glare at him.

“You’ll resent that any minute” I muttered under my breath causing Harry to chuckle slightly as Professor McGonagall walked up to us.

“Weasley you and Ms. Pail may enter the great hall, Potter you and Ms. Richards go to the side. Champion’s enter first and then start the dance out” she ordered rushing to another couple.

“Did you know about that?” Harry asked me, not particularly staring at me; more at Cho,
while I looked up the stairs to see Hermione finally descending them.

“She looks gorgeous” I murmured watching Hermione take Viktor’s arm.

“She does” Harry murmured next to me as Professor McGonagall ushered us into a line, Fleur and her date going first, followed by Viktor, then Cedric and finally Harry and I.
Harry of course being oblivious I had to order him to take my waist as the music began, I didn’t mind attending the ball with Harry. I would have just rather preferred for him to have been more observant when we were in front of the whole school.
