Yes. I realised this is becoming way too long now. Also, the date things are the fact... you most likely do not end up with the first person you date.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sigh as I sit down next to Bebe, feeling so damn tired. Ever since my sister went to Ravenclaw, the whole year has been looking after her and doing all the school work and the extra for myself

"You okay?" She asks.

"No, thanks for asking," I say.

"A panic attack?" She asks.

"Yeah. And I was learning to do a patronus," I say.

"WHY?" She asks, surprised.

"I need to visit Azkaban and heard that they attack anyways these days," I say.

"Kenny, I care about you. You do realise that dementors can make your life shit?" She asks.

"I know, I know," I say.

She sighs.

"But hey," I say.

She looks at me.

"Hogsmeade on Sunday. You going?" I ask.

"Might," She says.

"Wanna come with me?" I ask.

"First you tell me about the patronus shit and then you ask me? Kenny. Where are your priorities?" Bebe asks.

"Haven't had them since I was really young. You coming?" I ask.

"I don't know if you're asking me out or as a friend," she says.

"I mean, I could go for the first," I say.

She laughs.

"You like me? You have a weird way of showing it then," she says.

I laugh.

"We don't talk much, that's it," I say.

"I mean, sure?" She says.

I look at the Ravenclaw table.

"Gotta bounce! See you on Sunday, Bebe," I say.

She laughs as I get up and follow after Kyle.

"Hey dude!" I say.

He waves.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

He smiles and nods towards Stan and Wendy.

"So, Wend," Stan says.

"Yeah, Stan?" Wendy asks.

Oh marry each other.

"Do you maybe... wanna go to Hogsmeade with me on Sunday?" He asks.

YES STAN YES!

"I mean, sure dude," Wendy says.

Kyle looks like he could hurt a bitch.

"I kinda meant it as... y'know," Stan says.

"I don't," Wendy says.

"Maybe like a date?" Stan asks.

He looks ashamed of himself. Kyle is holding in his breath, as if scared of the explosion.

"I....," Wendy says.

GODDAMNIT WENDY!

"I'm sorry!" Stan screeches.

He looks like a kicked puppy.

"No no no no. I'll come," Wendy says.

She kisses his cheek before leaving.

YEEEEES MY SHIP!

"Are you going with anyone?" I ask Kyle.

He look at me.

"No. Are you?" He asks.

"Yup. I got a date!" I say.

"Good for you," Kyle says.

He leaves towards someone.

"Hey, Liz," he says.

No you don't. Kyle, fuck you.

"What?" She asks.

"Are you going this Sunday?" He asks.

Kyle no.

"I... no?" Lizzy asks.

"Wanna come with me?" Kyle asks.

Kyle no! She actually likes you! This isn't at all good!

"Sure," Liz says.

No! No!

"See you on Sunday," Kyle says.

He comes back to me.

"Kyle! What the hell are you doing?" I ask.

"I just asked her-," Kyle starts.

"I'm aware! Are you aware that she likes you?" I ask.

He laughs.

"That's no laughing matter! You're going to either sound like a complete asshole or just fuck over everything?" I ask.

Kyle sighs.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing," he says.

~Time skippy to Sunday~

Wendy, Stan, Kyle, Lizzy, Bebe and I all sit around a table. I still don't think it was a good idea for Kyle to take Lizzy, in context.

"I eh," Kyle starts.

He excuses himself almost immediately. KYLE GODDAMNIT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING?

"So, Lizzy. We haven't properly talked," Bebe says.

She shakes her hand.

"You're Bebe? Wendy talks about you!" Lizzy says.

I nod along, still looking at the bathroom door. Kyle please come back. Don't leave us.

"Sorry for the wait," Kyle says, walking back over.

He sits back down across from Lizzy.

"I don't know if we should be here for this," I whisper to Bebe, pointing at Kyle and Lizzy.

Bebe shrugs.

"It's beautiful weather we're having," Kyle says.

I roll my eyes. Bebe looks absolutely horrified at the awkwardness.

"Oh fuck this," I mutter.

Suddenly both Lizzy and Kyle are laughing like madmen.

"Then there was this one time I was learning to play Quidditch and well.... um... what happened was, my mom came over at the wrong time and I hit her with the broom," Kyle says.

Lizzy laughs for some reason. Wendy looks sad.

"I don't have much of a family," Lizzy says.

"Come meet mine," Kyle says.

He's immediately more comfortable.

"Would they like me?" Lizzy asks.

He sighs.

"I hope. They um... they haven't been kind for a long while. I went into Saint Mungos ones and they didn't bother coming though my mother is a stay-at-home mum," Kyle says.

Lizzy looks really surprised.

"I'm sure my mum would bother! That's so horrible!" Lizzy says.

"Well, I survived. If I had died," Kyle says.

"Okay but that's still really bad. Don't they give a shit?" Lizzy asks.

Kyle shakes his head, sighing.

"I don't think they actually do," he says.

Lizzy smiles.

"I'm here. I know I can be rude and that's not okay but I just can't help it, sometimes I'm in a really bad mood. So yeah, I'm mostly here for you," she says.

Kyle nods.

"I'm here for you as well," he says.

She laughs.

"No, really. I might not know what's going on but I know you're a really awesome girl and you deserve to have your happiness," Kyle says.

Lizzy blushes. Okay, maybe this isn't a catastrophe.

"Hey, Bebe," i say.

She laughs.

"You look really pretty," I say.

I gotta be a gentleman after paying so much attention to Kyle and Lizzy.

"Aw. Thanks," she says.

I smile and look up, thinking of a joke to say.

"Am I gonna get a kiss for being kind?" I ask.

She laughs and gives me a kiss.

"Okay that was super easy," I say.

She laughs.

"You asked," she says.

I roll my eyes.

"Doesn't work like that," I say.

"With me it does," Bebe says.

Stan laughs and looks at Wendy.

"You just have to be kind," Wendy says.

"When wasn't I? I'm a Hufflepuff!" He says.

"Good point," Wendy says and gives him a kiss.

Kyle and Lizzy look at each other before Lizzy leans in and they kiss.
