Our Secrets

Chapter 10 - Let's Hang Out!

The twins tested it and it was safe to say that they did not stand a chance against Y/n and her blanket monster. To pass time and wait for Harry, the three sat on Fred's bed, playing a muggle card game Y/n brought: Uno.

She explained the rules and concepts of it to them and soon enough they understood enough to play the game a few rounds. Of course, Y/n would always win first and the twins would alternate between 2nd and 3rd.

Harry came inside the dorm during their game of Uno. He didn't think much of it, just thinking that Y/n was hanging out with them in their dorms, something she did often when she wasn't hanging around Hermione, Ginny, Luna, or someone else that wasn't in their dorm.

When he sat on his bed- oh that is when chaos happened. The blanket swallowed him whole and his glasses dropped to the floor. All he could see was darkness and feel the soft blanket attacking him in tickles at all sides. Laughter couldn't stop erupting from his face, and he slowly realized it was a prank from the three after hearing their faint laughter in the background.

"G-guys-" His laughter did not make it easy to talk. Thankfully, Y/n understood his incomplete one word sentence and gave him mercy. The tickles stopped and the blanket relaxed, slipping off of him. He was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath from laughing.

The twins and Y/n shared a high five and laughed with Harry when he complimented their prank. They stayed behind to do it to Ron as well.

"Well? Did you ask her out yet?"

"Y/n who are you talking about?"

"Ced we both know who I'm talking about. If you haven't yet, I might as well ask her out myself. She is really pretty-"

"No, no, I haven't asked Cho out yet." Cedric sighed as Y/n and him were in the room of requirement, currently filled with plants, grass, and a picnic like area where they were sitting.

"You know, you could always use the room to take her out on a really nice date. Or ask her out on a date at Hogsmeade."

"...Huh, that's not a bad idea Y/n."

Y/n scoffed playfully, "When do I ever have bad ideas?"

"When-"

"Don't answer that."

The two laughed before relaxing, sitting in comfortable silence. Cedric looked up, looking at the "sky" the room generated, much like the Great Hall. "You know, sometimes, now more than ever, I think about what's going to happen in the future."

"Oh yeah, you're graduating next year aren't you. A full grown wizard, Cedric Diggory. Say, what do you want to be?"

"Well my dad says I should get a job at the ministry-"

"No, Ced, not what your dad said, I asked: What do YOU want to be?"

Cedric thought about it before smiling a bit, "Maybe Quidditch, I really like Quidditch."

"You're pretty good at it too, Captain of Hufflepuff's Quidditch Team. Geez, that's a handful."

They couldn't help but smile at the thought of their futures, something that they would enjoy doing in the future. "Along with playing Quidditch I'd probably help you from time to time with those creature reserves you've been working on. Opening reserves worldwide."

Y/n smiled at the thought, feeling a bit happy that Cedric remembered from past conversations, "Then, when you find a partner I'm going to give them the big brother warning talk- (Ced!) and when that time comes, I'll be walking you down that aisle to your future husband if you'd let me. Of course, that's a bit far away in the future, but it's a thought.

Y/n placed her head on her older brother figure, "Of course I'd let you walk me. I know my new dad probably would have wanted to, but heck I've known you longer so... he could be a ring boy or something, I don't know.." Y/n snickered at the thought of Bruce being a flower boy and tossing petals to the floor.

"The future sounds fun, but right now, let's enjoy the moment, okay?"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea Y/n."

Damian was feeling insanely bored without his best friend and sister. He knew he shouldn't tire out Oaklyn, Y/n's owl, with constant notes. He knew that her school was across the ocean and that was a long flight, even for an owl, but he didn't have an address to mail his letters to. 

His brothers seemed to be doing fine, but that was because they hadn't bonded with Y/n as close as he had yet. 

He was constantly counting the days til Christmas, hoping that he'd be getting another letter saying that she would be coming home instead of that stupid school gala that caught her interest. Galas are all the same anyways, why would a school one be any different?

Instead of parents it would be kids, that was the only difference Damian could think about. Wait a moment... galas mean... 

"Father, I have something I must discuss with you." 

All the heads at the table looked at Damian who was looking at Bruce, calmly eating their dinners but curious.

"What is it Damian?"

"In Y/n's last letter she briefly discussed a gala. Does that not mean that she must have a date to the gala? If Y/n must get a boyfriend just to attend I do not approve until I meet and judge him."

Damian's brothers didn't know whether to laugh or aww at Damian's protectiveness to their sister. Alfred smiled as Bruce shook his head, "I'm pretty sure Y/n would be going as friends with her partner. Completely platonic." 

"Alright then." 

Damian no longer had to worry about his Ukht, but he was still bored without her. For now, he would be waiting patiently for Y/n's next letter to arrive. 

Okay, so I still need opinions for endings. Of course, endings aren't anywhere near just yet, but it matters because it affects how I write the plot. 

Here are the options written down more clearly:

Option A: Have multiple scenario endings. 
Example = Harry Ending, Draco Ending, Family Ending, Weasley Twins Ending (NOT TWINCEST) 

Option B: Have ONE ending, picking 1 partner for Y/n (or not) 

Option C: It's a secret because I may be doing this one, but I wanna see if you want to see the secret

Option D: Your thoughts/ideas/opinions!

Thank you for your help and reading this book!

Do you think you could vote? Um... you look really pretty you make me nervous...
