Y/N POV:

It had been a few weeks since the Yule Ball, and now things started getting better. Me and Blaise hung out a lot more together, but as friends. Turns out, we had a lot in common, but wanted to have a friendship. It's actually quite nice having someone to talk to and hang out with who isn't a Gryffindor or in my other circle of friends - not that the circle really exists anymore.

Everyone's sort of disbanded into either duos and trios now, and I just hop between them daily - except for Fred and Romilda of course. George and Lee pull the pranks - sometimes Fred does too, but not as much - and then Alicia, Angelina and Katie hang out in a trio. I mean they do cross over with George and Angelina, but it's pretty separate now. We sort of 'drifted' is how Blaise described it to me - and he was spot on.

Me and Blaise were currently hanging out in the library, and just sort of hanging out and doing homework. It was nice.

"Y/N?" I snapped my head up to look at Blaise.

"Yeah?" I said

"You should speak to Fred."

"No."

I hated it when Blaise was right, and that was always all the time. I knew I needed to speak to him.

"If you speak to him, I'll do your DADA homework."

"Are you bribing me?"

"No - just being nice."

"Didn't know Slytherins could be nice."

"Stop avoiding the situation - you know it will give you closure."

"Fine."

And then, I left the library, with Blaise following a bit behind, and I found Fred.

I tapped his shoulder and said,

"Hey Freddie...."
