Dean Thomas // The Duo

This one is kinda unique so, I decided to give it a try. Let me know what you think of it!

and oh my gosh do I even have to say what song I'm using? It is one of my favs and you guys should know this song. oldie, but goodie.

I shouldered my bag and walked out of the Common Room, my arm linked through Eva's, and let out a yawn, quickly covering it with my palm. Eva gave me a side eye and raised an eyebrow, "Up all night thinking about Thomas?"

"Oh, shut up. We're just friends! I was awake all night finishing the Transfiguration essay. We have to submit it today, remember?" I told her, and in silence we made our way down the stairs, ocassionally greeting a few people as we went.

"Friends? You've had a crush on him since forever!" Eva cried out.

I nudged her side, "Keep it down, will you? If I wanted the world to know I would've put posters saying so a long back ago!"

Eva and I walked to the Great Hall to have our breakfast, and as usual, she had to do something embarassing.

"Good morning, Gryffindors!" Eva called out and the whole table turned their heads to her. What a drama queen. I let go of Eva's arm in embarrasment and sat next to Dean. He greeted me and I returned the greeting with a smile.

"You know, the Yule Ball is getting closer, and I was wondering if you could come with me as my date?" Dean turned to me, his eyes searing onto me.

"Why me? Why not Marissa? The pair of you are really close." I tried not to sound bitter, but it evidently did sound so.

"She isn't you." Dean went back to eating his toast and I looked down at my plate, not knowing what to say. He always said those words whenever I spoke to him about any girl. He always compared me to the other girls.

"I'll take your silence as a yes." Dean stood up from his seat and straightened his robes.

I scoffed, "Oh, please. You would've taken me even if I said no."

"You know me so well." He shouldered his bag and patted his hair, "See you at Transfiguration? I'll save us a seat."

"Just make sure Finnegan doesn't know you're saving it for me. He'll get jealous." I dusted his robes, which had some strands of cloth on it.

"I can hear you!" Seamus yelled from my right.

"Fourth years, please pay attention." Professor McGonagall called out after the announcement of the Yule Ball and after the embarassing dance with Ron, "Professor Dumbledore has decided that during the Ball, he would like two students to...sing a song, because no other House agreed to send a student to participate." She said, her eyes on each one of us.

"Any volunteers?" Her eyes searched the crowd and Seamus yelled, "Y/N and Dean will do it!"

Dean and I stood up together to protest and before we could say another word, McGonagall smiled, "Very well. I hope the pair of you will give us a good song."

And with that, she left, her robes trailing after her. I glared at Seamus, who just shrugged. That bloody idiot.

After everybody was dismissed including Filch, Dean grabbed my wrist and said, "Come on."

I eyed him curiously as he slowly put the needle on the surface of the record player. He walked up to me with a small smile and put his hand out, "May I have this dance?"

I took his hand, "Yes, you may."

I placed my hand on his shoulder, my left hand on his extended right hand, whilst his left hand made its way to my waist, which made the butterflies in my stomach come to life.
