Our lips met and I knew this isn't right just then I felt him move his lips and instead of stopping myself, I began to move my lips in sync with his.
Kissing Fred Weasley was wrong but somehow it just felt so right.
I began to sneak my hands on his neck while we still continued on kissing and he put one of his hands on my waist and pulled me closer while his other hand cupped my cheeks.
I don't really know how long we sat there, while kissing each other, but all I know is that I love how his lips were on mine.
"Fred" I said, well it more came out like a moan and I felt him smile at this and he just continued to kiss me.
What is wrong with me? Why am I being like this with Fred? This needed to stop, but I can't. I liked this too much to just stop.
Wait, why is he kissing me anyways? He liked Angelina, not me and I already have a fiance. What will people think of me?
I pulled away from Fred and I can see he was a little surprised at this.
"Sorry." was all I said and I grabbed the book that I was reading a while ago and my bag on the ground.
I quickly stood up and I turned around go leave, but Fred grabbed me by my arms and turned me around as to I was facing him.
"Hey, whats wrong?" He asked as if he doesnt know that what we did was wrong.
"This." I pointed at myself and at him.
"This is what's wrong!" I snapped at him.
As soon as I said those words, I saw the hurt in his eyes.
"Sorry, I didnt mean it to be this way. But-" He tried to say but I cut him off.
I raised both my hands "Stop. You know, just forget about it Fred. Forget this even happened" I turned around and walked as quicklu as I could.
"Sammantha wait! Please!" Fred tried to call out to me but I ignored him and I just continued to walk fast, I dont know where im really going just as long as I can go away from that place and from Fred.
next thing I knew I was at a particular toilet, crying at one of the cubicles. I was there for nearly an hour and when I cant cry any further, I went out of the cubicle and went to the mirror and washed my face. Just then I noticed, Nobody entered the room ever since I went there. That was odd. Maybe I was too busy crying to not notice that.
I just shrugged the thought off and I wiped my face with my handkerchief. When I turned around I was greeted by a pale faced girl.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" I screamed in shock.
"What? You havent seen a Hogwarts ghost before?" The girl said.
I just stood there, still pretty shocked and scared to say anything.
"You might as well shut your mouth before a fly enter it." The girl said again in a tone like a child.
She walked-well more of like float-towards me and she snapped her fingers in my face and I jumped a little at what she did.
"Wh-Who are you?" I finally managed to say.
"I bet you're new here." She said and giggled then she flew towards the large circular window near the ceiling and sat there.
"Im Moaning Myrtle." She said.
"Why are you here? Why are you not outside at the halls or the corridors just like the other Hogwarts ghost?" I asked her.
"You see I was killed here. Right there." She pointed at one of the cubicles. I looked at it and back at her.
"I-Im sorry." I said.
"Who are you?" Myrtle asked.
"Im Sammantha." I told her.
"You're Sammantha Baudelaire are you? So its true what they say then, that you're very pretty" She said once again.
I just stared at her confused. "They?" I said.
"Yes, a couple of girl students would come here occassionally and gossip thinking that no ones in here to hear and I can hear them talk about you, how you are so lucky to be close with Viktor Krum and a-im sorry to say this but its what they said-bitch for being Draco Malfoy's fiance and having Fred Weasley all over you." She said.
She must've seen my shocked face because she flew towards me and she was trying to comfort me by putting his hands on my shoulder which just made me feel cold.
"Don't worry, they're just jealous of you. But is it true? you and Draco?" She said.
"No, Its okay. Its not true anyways, and about me and Draco, yes." I said but I cant hide the hurt that I felt upon hearing this.
"You know you seem a nice girl, unlike the other girls around here. Its the first time I saw you here, where are you from?" She asked me again.
"Well Im from Beauxbatons and I transferred here, well my parents more of like forced me to transfer here to get to know my fiance. Please dont tell anyone about us. I bet Pansy was the ine talking about me because she was the only ibe who knew, well aside from Fred." I looked at her with pleading eyes.
"If thats what you want." She said.
"Thank you Myrtle." I said and I smiled at her which she did in return.
I dont know, but somehow I felt comfortable with her, its as if I was just talking to an old friend of mine. We Just talked inside the toilet for a long time about random things.
I must've lost track of time because when I looked at my watch, it was already 6 in the evening, It was already near dinner time.
I bid Myrtle goodbye and I promised her to come back when I have a free time and she was so happy that she finally get a chance to have some girlfriend to talk to after a long time of being trapped in a toilet with no one to talk to, and I was just as glad as she is. Now I treat her just like a bestfriend.
*******
I went to our room first so that I can leave my bag and stuffs first since I forget to leave it there ghis afternoon when I had the encounter with Fred.
Fred.
I wonder if he really did mean what he did back there at the lake. Because I must admit it, I kind of liked it and I kind of liked him too.
But he was the one who said that he liked Angelina so maybe it was just a spur of the moment kind of thing, I knew it. But still, why did he do it? I needed some explanation from him, but not right now. Im still not ready to face him after what happened.
I just sighed in frustration.
I looked atvthe clock at my bedside table and saw that it was already dinner time.
I went to the bathroom and looked at the mirror.
"Merlin's beard! You look like a mess Sammantha" I told myself.
I have streaks of hair standing and my eyes' like a frog's. Im a total wreck right now.
I cleansed my face and wiped it after with towel. I fixed my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun. I was just too lazy and stressed out to use magic on my hair right now.
When I was done cleaning myself, I walked back out into the Great Hall.
I stopped by the door and I searched for Sarah on the Slytherin table and luckily, I found her.
I quickly walked past some students and I just continued on walking with my head down.
When I reached our table, I quickly sat beside Sarah and she was quite surprised by my presence.
"Hey, where have you-" But she didnt finished her sentence when she noticed my face.
"Have you been crying?" She asked me but I didnt respond to her I just looked down.
"Tell me about it later. Lets just eat for now."
I just simply nodded and I started eating. Well I never really eat, im just picking on my food and I would take a small bite every once in a while.
I turned my head up to see Fred on the Gryffindor table, staring back at me. I quickly looked away and went back to starring at my plate.
After dinner, I grabbed Sarah's hands and went back to the dorm into our room.
Once we were inside, I layed, head down on my bed. While Sarah sat on her bed, looking at me confused.
"Sooooo. Mind telling me what really happened to you?" She finally managed to ask.
I groaned in my pillow and I sat up from my bed.
"So?" She asked again.
I looked at her, never really kbowing whether she should know or not. But I also thought that she should know since she's my only girlf friend here in hogwarts and well, Rina and Danielle are not around so I decided to tell her anyways.
"F-Fred Weasley."
"Fred? Whats with Fred?" She asked me again.
"Well, we kind of..." I tilted my head to the side. "...kissed."
Once I told her, her jaw dropped and she looked at me disbelievingly.
"I know! Itswroganditsnotrightiknowishiuldnthave-"
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Hold it right there! I cant even understand a word you're saying. chillax!" She told me.
She's right I needed to relax so I took a deep breath and I began to explain to her what really happened this afternoon.
As soon as I finished, I looked at her and all she did was stare at me not knowing what to say because she was pretty shocked too.
"Sarah! c'mon say anything!" I whined.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Does it have any meaning? Does he mean what he did? Does he like me? Of course not He said he likes Angelina." I said to her.
"Maybe he do likes you and maybeeee.. he do likes Angelina too." She told me, not so sure about what he said.
"Thanks, that really did help Sarah." Note the sarcasm there.
I grabbed my towel and my pj's and I headed for the bathroom.
I took a nice and conforting shower, I just needed those right now to keep my mind off things even just for this moment. I tried to relax myself and after im done, I went back to our room.
I laid down while Sarah was at her own bed too, writing a letter again for her family and friends.
I pulled up the blanket to my face.
"Sammantha? are you still up?" Sarah called out.
I just nodded underneath the blanket.
"Hey, you dont have to think about it so hard. of he really likes you, he'll explain it to you, everything, sooner or later." She said.
"Yeah, I know. Thanks Sarah. Lets just forget about it. you're right anyways. if he wants me, he'll make an effort." I said.
She gave me a comforting smile.
"We better go to sleep, tomorrow's the first triwizard task." I told her.
"Yeah, im so excited!" She gushed and she put her quill and papers in her night stand and laid down in bed.
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight Sarah."
****
Next day was the day that all of the students awaited for. It was the day for the first task in the Trwiwizard Tournament.
I picked out a skinny jeans, a white long sleeves shirt, my black leather jacket and my black and white scarf. I decided to pair it with my black boots. Im pulling out a rocker chic style for the day.
It was a bit chilly outside since it was autumn.
Sometimes I wonder if they still call it Triwizard when there's four contenders. Shouldnt they call it Quadwizard Tournament? Nahh. Lets stick with Triwizard it does sounds better.
"Earth to Sammantha!" Rina snapped her fingers and literally yelled in front of me which caused me to jumo a bit in surprise.
We were walking our way to the stadium where the event will take place. I decided to go with them since Sarah was not feeling si well and decided to stay up in the Hospital wing to rest.
"What!?" I asked her.
"Well besides from talking to a person who doesnt seem to listen and worst of all, smiling for a reason I dont know, nothing!" She snapped at me.
"Okay! Okay! Im sorry. what were you saying anyways?" I tried to ask her just so to change the subject which I succeed in.
""Im talking about the ball!" She put her hands in my shoulders and said in a matter of factly tone.
"A ball?" I said.
"Yep, a ball. an event where people gather, dress up in gowns and tux and dance." dani said.
"Umm yeah I know what a ball is Dani. What im trying to ask is why? where and when?"
"Well technically, every Triwizard Tournament, a ball is held so as to allow every students to make acquaintance with the other students from another school that is participating in the tournament and you know what this means?" Rina asked Dani and I.
"Ok, what?" I asked in a tired voice.
"this means cute boys! drinks and fun!" She squeaked and giggled at the same time. But Dani and I just looked at her, bored.
"Oh c'mon you guys! Dont tell me you're not excited?" She said.
"No. and besides, I have a lot of things going on mind right now to even care about a ball." I said to both of them while we still continued on walking but then Dani grabbed my arm and we came into a stop.
"Do you have a problem?" Dani asked me.
"Well, yeah and that's what I've been planning in telling you way before Rina here gushed about the ball." I gave Rina a look.
"Oh. You know we can talk about it now." Rina said.
"Ok but not here" So I grabbed both of them out of the way and deep into the forest where we're sure its safe enough that no one can hear.
And when we reached the right spot, We stopped and I told them all about what happened. About Fred kissing me and everything about Draco.
"So Draco was your fiancè? " Rina asked.
"Mmhmm."
" How come we didnt know about this?" Dani asked.
"I was meaning to tell you but things are just so complicated and theres a lot of things thats been happening and you know, the stuff with fred." I told them.
"That is really some serious issues you got there." Rina said giving me a look.
"I know right? and I seriously need your help." I looked at both of them but they just starred back at me.
I sighed.
"Hoookaaayyyy. Do you uhh.. do you think Fred likes me?" I said with a confused look. "I mean, like does he meant something when he did it?"
"Well if he did kissed you, maybe he did like you. But, maybe it was also a spur of the moment." Rina said.
"Thats what Im also thinking." I said to her.
"That he likes you?" Dani asked.
"No silly! that it was just a spur of the moment besides, one time he said that he likes Angelina." I told both of them
Just then a whistle was blown which indicated the start of the tournament.
"We should talk about this later. The task's about to start." I said.
We walked back to the site and we went to sit at the 2nd row of seat just right beside the entrance.
The first one to do the task was Fleur.
Rina and Dani were screaming their lungs out for her while I just sat there, not really feeling like cheering for anyone at the moment.
I roamed my eyes around the other students and I accidentally caught myself starring back at Fred who was just a few seats away from us.
He gave me a weak smile but I just looked away. I know im kind of rude and I kind of felt guilty after doing so, but I just needed to stay away from him. I cantbjust talk or see him right now.
I tried to focus myself on watching the Champions do the task but somehow Fred and what happened at the lake just continued to cross my mind. I needed to get away from here right now, and I know just the perfect place and the perfect person to talk to.
I was making my way out the task site and into the castle when I felt someone walk beside me. I looked up to see Fred just walking and starring straight ahead.
I quickened my pace and as I did it, he also quickened his pace to catch up with me.
What is wrong with him?
I quickly came into a stop, leaving him to walk several steps more before realizing that I was not walking beside him anymore. as soon as he saw I was not right there, he stopped and turned around.
we were several feet apart. He looked at me and I can see the sadness and desperation in his eyes.
"What do you want?" I asked in a cold tone.
"I just want to say sorry."
"Okay, Apology accepted." I said and started to walk away but just as I was about to pass him, he caught my hands.
"If you could just let me explain everything, please." He pleaded and I can hear guilt in his voice.
"Save it Fred, I dont want to hear. at least not right now. " I said to him. "Now if you'll excuse me, I still have things to do." I whisked my hand away from his and walked away as quickly as I could from that place and from him.
I walked past the great hall and into the dungeons where the common room is. Once I entered, no one was there so I sat by the fireplace and just cried there. I dont really know why I was crying though,maybe im confused about everything thats going on with my life and it all of it just come rushing in and got into me at this very moment.
I dont know how long I've been crying because I didnt feel someone enter the room I just did when I felt someone sat beside me because the couch made a squeaking sound.
I quickly wiped my tears away and I looked up to see who it was.
It was Draco.
He was looking at me, worry written all over his face.
"What happened?Did that weasle boy hurt you?" He said.
Wow. This was the very first time that he actually talked to me without being a git that he is. He should be up to something.
I never responded.
He must've seen that Im not in the mood to talk so he decided not to bring up any questions on me anymore.
But not after a few minutes when he cant seem to not held in what he wanted to tell me anymore.
"Hey about..about that night right here.." He started to say. "..im really sorry I know I shouldnt have done that."
" Im glad you've realized that." I said to him.
"I-I just want to tell you something." He said. "Im sorry for beig such a git to you, sorry for the way I acted ever since we met and I hope you can forgive me."
I turned to look at him and I tried to trace any hint of joking or fooling in his voice and face but to my surprise I didnt found any.
" Why are you telling me this now?" I asked him.
"Because I wanted us to be comfortable around each other."
"Why would you want us to be comfortable with each other?"
"Because we're engaged and I wanted both of us to have a fresh start, as friends." He grabbed my hands and he moved closer to me.
"What do you really want?" I pulled my hands away and asked him. "Why are you doing this?! why are you apologizing?! why are you nice to me all of a sudden!? what are you up to Draco!?" I snapped at him.
"Because I love you Sammantha!" He yelled at me.
I was pretty much surprised with what he answered. I must admit I really didnt see that one coming.
Awkward silence filled the air.
I didnt know what to say, I just stared at him.
