(Y/n's gown for the ball, ignore the person, the hair accessory is included too) 

*At the Yule Ball*

*Cho is wearing her best outfit, her hair nicely done. Her expression, however, is rather upset. She's waiting for Harry by the stairs, smiling at anyone who acknowledge her but her face returns to its sour expression when nobody is looking. She was meaning to ask Cedric to the ball but he left before she can. Ever since hers and Cedric's interaction in the library, he never bother talking to her again, much to her disappointment. He have always been around that stupid y/n. The sound of her name make Cho wants to puke. She scan the area and spot Cedric.*

Cho: Hey! Ced! *She yell as she approaches him, hoping she can charm him the very last minute*

Cedric: *He looks at her, frowning a little* I thought I told you not to use that nickname *His voice sharp but not entirely unkind*

Cho: Sorry, I've forgotten. By the way *She stare at him up and down* You look good tonight

Cedric: Thanks

Cho: *Her face fall since she was expecting a compliment back* Who are you waiting for? Shouldn't you be ready to enter the hall?

Cedric: Well, I'm-

Cho: Don't tell me you don't have a date? *She smirk*

Cedric: I-

Cho: I can be your partner if you like

Cedric: Cho! *She stop speaking* I am waiting for somebody and you shouldn't keep Harry waiting *He gestures towards Harry Potter, who have just make his way down the staircase*

Cho: The ball doesn't start for another 5 minutes so I can spend more time with you, don't worry. So how- *But she realise that he have stop listening, his attention is on y/n. Cho roll her eyes* Cedric!

Cedric: *He jumps and give her a quick look*

Cho: Don't tell me SHE is your date *Cho exclaim, her eyes fixed on y/n*

*Cedric have completely ignore Cho now. Cho watch jealously as y/n approach Cedric. Up close, she can see y/n's full appearance. She hate to admit it but y/n is beautiful. Cho glare at y/n's magnificent red gown. Her h/c hair is practically shimmering, with golden butterflies attach*

Cedric: You look-

Cho: She looks okay *She mutters*

Cedric: *He give Cho an annoyed look and turn back to y/n* You're gorgeous

y/n: *y/n's face flush* Th-thank you. You look splendid tonight

Cedric: I thought I always looked good *He pouts, making y/n laugh*

*Cho eyed y/n enviously then stalks off to join Harry*

(y/n's perspective)

*You prepare to enter the Great Hall with Cedric. Everybody is already inside apart from the champions and their partner. This is rather nerve-wracking. You are standing behind Krum and Granger. Harry Potter and Cho behind you. You close your eyes and breathe in and out.*

Cedric: You okay?

y/n: Yeah *Your voice slightly shaky* I'm fine

Cedric: Don't worry, if it helps, you can look at me instead of the crowd?

Professor McGonagall: *Suddenly* Champions! Are you ready? *She did not wait for a response* It's time to enter

*The massive double door open, revealing the beautiful hall. The walls have been covered in sparkling silver frost, garlands of mistletoes and ivy crosses the black ceiling. There are a couple of little ice sculptures and one or two Christmas trees. There must be at least half a dozen of small circular tables. The crowd is standing tight together to create a walkway to the centre of the hall, where the dance floor is. On the ice platform is Professor Flitwick and his choir. You and the other champions with their partner begin walking into the hall. You clutch Cedric's arm nervously and keep walking. Once the champions and their partner have taken position, the music start. It is a slow ballroom music. You look at Cedric and he gives you a reassuring smile. You let out a small surprised gasp as he place his hand on your waist. He grin at you and you roll your eyes. You place your hand on his shoulder, the other holding his left hand gently. Your feet move quickly yet elegantly. You're quite amaze by your ability to dance. You and Cedric move in time with each other, his eyes never leaving yours. At one point, he lift and spin you swiftly. Then putting you back down again. You can hear the crowd clap. After a while, people begin to join the champions, waltzing with their partner. You can't help but smile.*

Cedric: *After some time* I didn't know you can dance so well

y/n: *You smile* Is that a compliment?

Cedric: *He nods* Come *He pulls you away from the crowd and outside the Great Hall, where you can see many people talking. There are one or two girls sitting on the staircase crying their eyes out and a couple kissing each other passionately in a corner*

y/n: Where are we even going?

Cedric: Somewhere less crowded *Finally, you stop at the Courtyard, by a stone arch*

y/n: What is it Ced?

Cedric: I know right now might not be a good time because of the Yule Ball and stuff but would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend? *You look up at him, a smile tugging at the corner of your lip* As a date?

y/n: I'll see if I can fit that into my schedule *You says sarcastically* A date next weekend...Hmm *You pause* I don't think I'm available then *He's looking at you with an amuse expression*

Cedric: So it's a no?

y/n: You know I'm just kidding, it's yes *Your e/c eyes stare deeply into his bright grey ones* That'll be nice

Cedric: y/n *He whispers*

y/n: Hm? *Your eyes still looking into his*

Cedric: *He leans towards your ear and whisper* Look up

y/n: *You break the eye contact and look up at the stone arch to see-* Mistletoe *It slip off your tongue quietly. You look back at him, you can see that he's holding back a smirk, you smile*

Cedric: You're right, mistletoe. *He pause, his cheeks beginning to turn a light shade of pink* Did you know it's consider bad luck to refuse a kiss under the mistletoe?

y/n: I wasn't planning on refusing *You breath softly*

*You lean forward, your eyes slightly open. He pulls you closer towards him by your waist until you can feel his warm body press against yours. He lean down ever so slightly when-*

Professor Snape: Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett *Snape voice rings loudly from a distance* And ten points from Ravenclaw, too, Stebbins *You and Cedric watch as a Hufflepuff girl and a Ravenclaw boy run towards the castle, looking flustered*

y/n: It's always Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw *You sigh*

Cedric: Ahem, *You turn back to him* I'm a Hufflepuff and you're a-

y/n: Ravenclaw, I know *You pull yourself away from him* I'm going to bed now, see you tomorrow Ced

Cedric: But- *He protest quietly, his fingers traces your lips*

y/n: I guess I'll have to deal with bad luck then *You grin* Now I have to go okay?

Cedric: Fine, see you tomorrow y/n *He smile andkisses your forehead making you turn bright red* It's funny how something sosimple can make you blush so hard *He laugh*
