"Roger Davies?" My best friend, (b/f/n) asked, and I shook my head fake gagging.
"Nope, definitely not. I think of him as a brother!" I said, causing (b/f/n) to sigh. She was complaining about my 'extraordinary' love life and decided to play the role of a matchmaker like Cupid. Oh joy! Note the sarcasm.
"Hmm... This is really hard! Don't you have an interest in any of the guys I mentioned!?" She asked exasperatedly.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head at her. Honestly, doesn't she have any other work to do other than playing around with my love life?
"Wait, if you're not interested in any of them. Does that mean... you're into girls!?" she screeched and I looked at her wide eyed.
I smacked her no her head lightly and said, "Shut up (y/b/n)! Just because I don't like any of these guys doesn't mean I'm into girls!"
She giggled a bit and said, "Alright, alight. Jeez, I'm sorry for suggesting that."
She thought for a minute and gasped. I looked at her alarmed and said, "What is it? Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, the fact that you don't have a boyfriend," she said, looking at me seriously. 'Huh?' I thought to myself and sighed.
"Ernie Macmillan," she said suddenly and I looked at her confused.
"What?" I asked her, a light pink colour visible on my cheeks.
"What about Ernie Macmillan, you know, our best friend?" she said, and I blushed a bit.
"I know who Ernie is!" I said, still blushing. No one really knows but I've had a crush on Ernie for as long as I can remember.
(b/f/n) raised her eyebrows at me and asked, "Why are you blushing...?"
"Uh... it's just hot in the room, that's why." I said, struggling to come up with a lie.
"You idiot! It's the middle of the winter and it's actually cold!" she said, and I groaned internally. How could I forget!?
"Oh my gosh!" she said and looked at me wide-eyed. "You like him, don't you?"
I turned my face the other way and said, "Yeah..." in a really low voice.
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you?" she said, in a sing song voice.
"OKAY, FINE! I LIKE HIM, OKAY?" I shouted at her and then covered my mouth, surprised at my own outburst. I looked around and sighed in relief when noticed we were the only ones in our dorm.
"Oh my god! I knew it! Both of you would look so cute! You are the perfect couple!" she rambled and said once again, "Oh my god! I have to come up with a plan to get you two together!!!"
Remind me why I'm friends with her? Oh yeah, that's because she's the only friend I've got from my house, which is Ravenclaw.
"Do whatever you want. I'm going to meet up with Hermione in the library now," I said, packing all of my books and exiting the dorm.
----------------------------------
"Hey! Slow down, (y/n)!" Ernie said, as he caught up with me.
"Oh hey! Sorry Ernie, I didn't see you," I said embarrassed that I hadn't noticed him.
"Oh, it's alright, (y/n)," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. God, doesn't he see that he's making me go mad by literally standing beside me.
"So..." I started to say, unsure of what to talk about.
"Are you free now?" he asked me, and I nodded, blushing a bit. Is he going to ask me out?
"Well, then, can you ask (b/f/n) whether she can go to Hogsmeade with me in the weekend?" he asked, nervously.
My heart broke when he said that. "Y-yeah, o-okay, I'll ask her..." I said, trying the mask the hurt.
"I- I'm going to go now," I said, not looking at him and tried to walk away when he grabbed my hand.
"Wait, (Y/n), I was just kidding. I wanted to know if you could go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend." He said, smiling at me.
"Huh?" I said, blushing a bit. Did I hear him right?
"So... what do you say?" he asked, waiting for my reply.
"Oh, uh, sure. I'll go to Hogsmeade with you." I said, not looking at his eyes.
"I- uh, better get going now," I said, and ran away in full speed towards my dorm, not noticing that Ernie was fist bumping the air behind me. Oh boy, I gotta tell (b/f/n) about this.
--------------------------
"So... where are we going to go...?" I asked Ernie, and he shrugged.
"I was thinking about the three broomsticks?" he asked, in a questioning way and I nodded.
"Can we go to Honeydukes afterwards?" I asked him, sheepishly grinning. I was known by all my friends to having a sweet tooth and loving chocolate.
He laughed at me and then nodded.
We entered the three broomsticks and sat in one of the booths. Madam Rosmerta came up to us and asked, "What would you two kids like?"
"We'll take two butter beers," Ernie said, and I smiled because he remembered how much I loved butterbeer. I mean, who doesn't?
Madam Rosmerta nodded and said, "What a cute couple!" while going back, which made both me and Ernie to blush.
"Hey, look! There's (b/f/n) with... George Weasley?" Ernie told me in a confused manner.
"Eh... they'd look cute together. I mean, the dorky Ravenclaw and the mischievous Gryffindor? Perfect match!" I said, thinking about how good they'd look together. Madam Rosmerta came back with our drinks and I grabbed my butterbeer.
Ernie laughed at me. "What about us? Won't we be the perfect couple?" he asked, suddenly making me choke on my drink.
"W...whaat?" I asked, blushing wildly. Ernie laughed and said, "You should have seen your face!"
I pouted at him although it must have been a funny sight. It wasn't long before I joined in his laughter too, and we enjoyed the day spectacularly.
------------------------------
"So... what do you say?" Ernie asked, and I sat down in one of the benches, covering my face because it was red from blushing.
Ernie and I were walking silently when he asked me to be his girlfriend and choked on the air hearing that. My crush, for as long as I can remember, just asked me to be his girlfriend. What do I do!?
'Say yes, of course, dummy!' The voice inside me spoke and I sighed. "Yes," I whispered to him which he probably didn't hear.
"What did you say? Sorry, I couldn't hear you." Ernie said, giving me a sheepish grin.
"Yes," I said, once again, this time louder for him to hear, and he fist-bumped. Like, literally.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and spun me around, making me laugh. Setting me back on the ground, he hugged me and then kissed me passionately.
Oh boy, I have to tell (b/f/n) about this! I think I'm going to faint. Literally.
