Headmistress McGonagall was watching the students through the window, the Weasley Potters had finally given her some peace and another very peculiar group caught her attention, the Gryffindor beaters Shuhua and Yuqi were sitting talking to Ravenclaw Head Girl Soyeon and Slytherin prefect Soojin while Minnie and Miyeon discussed which one was the best house, Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, it was a very diverse group and by the way they looked at each other she knew there was much more than friendship between them, "Young love" McGonagall sighed, maybe she should take Madam Hooch to Hogsmeade one of these days

-Hui asked me to be his date to the Yule Ball

Yuqi and Shuhua stopped arguing about the Holyhead Harpies' last game, the Taiwanese looked at her in surprise

-WHAT?!

-And what did you answer?

Minnie had stopped arguing with Miyeon and was watching her friend

-I told him I’d think about it, unless, of course, there’s someone else I should go with instead?

All the eyes turned to Shuhua

-Why didn't you refuse him at the time?

-Because he was the only one to have the courage to ask me to the ball, he's not that boring, my parents would wholeheartedly approve him

Everyone was quiet waiting for Shuhua's reaction but she just stood up, looked at Soojin

-If that's what you want

Shuhua ran away and Yuqi just looked at Soyeon and went after her

--/--

It was late at night and Soojin, Miyeon and Soyeon were studying for the spell test but Soojin just couldn't concentrate

-I'm sorry girls I can't concentrate

Soojin rubbed her hair in frustration

-Perhaps it has to do with Shuhua's reaction earlier today

Soojin looked at Soyeon

-What do you mean by that?

-Well, maybe you expected her to have a more... energetic reaction to the ball

- I'm just tired... I've liked her for years, I've already made it clear to her that I like her but she just...

Miyeon looked at Soyeon worried

-Shuhua is dense, maybe she thinks you're just being a good friend

-And not to mention that she is insecure about her origin

Soojin looked at Soyeon

-I've already made it clear that I don't care for the fact that she's a muggle born

-But you are thinking of accepting the invitation of a pureblood from a distinguished family that your parents would love to have as a son-in-law

Soojin looked down

-Actually I already accepted

- WHAT?

-Why did you do that?

-It's the last year and I'm tired of waiting for  Shuhua so I decided to go with him to the ball

-I hope you made the right decision Soo

-Me either

--/--

Yuqi and Shuhua were returning from another Quidditch practice, Yuqi could see how frustrated her friend was

-Shu, you should invite Soojin to the ball

-She will go with Hui

-No, she said she would think

-For me it's the same thing, what did she see in that guy anyway? He doesn't do anything but take care of that stupid hair

-At least he had more courage than you

-YUQI

-It's true, if I were you I would invite her to go to the ball soon

Before Shuhua could answer some Slytherin students passed them, chatting excitedly

-Hui is so lucky

-I can't believe Seo Soojin agreed to go to the ball with him

-She is the most beautiful girl in our house

-They look perfect together

The students continued walking and Yuqi looked apprehensively at Shuhua

-Shu...

-I t
