Power in her voice Chapter 5
It was only a week until the yule ball and I still didn't have the balls to ask Cedric. And today had to be today. I have to find a time of the day that he isnt with his friend. Luckily over the past few years on school I found out his whole scedule, with who he is. where he is and the time.
Its now 14:57 and in exactly 3 minutes he comes out of his potions class. I'm hiding behind a wall when the door off the classroom goes open, and for my luck he is the last one who walked out. He walks past my wall when I slide in front of him.
"Hi!" He jumps up when I'm suddendly in front of him. "Wow Calypso Hi, didnt see you come out. How are you doing." Its silent for 10 seconds and I panic "HI!" He looks confused "Hi?" And then I realise I'm screwing things up.
"Oh, I'm repeating myself. I- I actually wanted to ask you something." He smiles at me like this is so normal for him and in the mean time i almost die off to little air. "Oh ofcourse what do you wanna ask?" Shit now I have to ask.
"Iwaswonderingifyouwantedtogototheyuleballwithme?" I ask really fast. He raises his eyebrows "Calypso I didn't catch that." I breath in and out. "I- I was wondering if you wanted to go to the yuleball with me....?" I say shy and look down at my shoes.
Then I feel a hand grab my chin. I look in his eyes and he smiles gentle. "Ofcourse I want to go with you." I freeze. 20 seconds later he chuckles. "Calypso are you alive?" My eyes wide "Uh! Yeah sorry I was lost in my tought!" I say fast.
He nods "Lets meet by the entrance?" I nod quick. "Yeah okay!." He nods and turns around and leaves.
My day couldnt go any better I had a date. And I know I had to do it for the plan but I actually wanted it in the first place because Cedric is like the ocean for me.
I walk in the hallway and see Samaira "Samaira!!!!! Cedric said yes to go with me to the yule ball!!!! And I didn't mention the ocean once!!"
Samaira stopped. She took a slow breath , anger sitting just beneath the surface. âThatâsâŚâ she paused, pressing her lips together before letting the words out evenly, ââŚgreat.â Her smile didnât quite reach her eyes. I look concerned. "Are you.. okay Samaira you look you know...kinda mad." not wanting to insult her.
Samaira let out a slow, tired sigh. âGo ask your Mudblood friend," I flinch "Wait is this about that Anais is muggleborn? Because then you are obvious the problem with issues here!"
Samaira nodded sharply. âMerlin, itâs not that I care about that. Itâs the fact she didnât tell us and told McLoser instead.â I glare at her "And have you ever thought of the fact she didn't want to tell you? because of all the shit you talked about muggleborns."
âMaybe.â she said after a moment, eyes drifting away. âI never exactly made it inviting, did I?â She exhaled, rubbing her thumb against her ring. âDoesnât mean I wouldâve turned on her.â I nod. "You have to tell her that and not me." Samaira stopped, then turned just enough for her profile to show. Her expression was closed off now, guarded. âItâs too late,â she said simply. I think about a plan. "What about a sleepover!!?? Just us two?"
Samaira paused, shoulders stiff, then exhaled slowly. âSure.â she said at last, âIt wonât hurt.â I nod "Okay will you come to my dorm after dinner?" Samaira nodded and walked off
I walk outside when I see Anais "Anais!!! Wait!" Anais turns around "I heard what happend today.." Anais turns her head away, hair falling into her face as she avoids eye contact. "Are you here to also yell at me? Why don't you yell at Cormac? He fucking told everyone!" I gasp
"No! I don't care that your muggle born I mean I wanted to invite you to a sleepover.. just us two. For distraction" Anais nodded and stood up to leave "See you after dinner!" I call after her.
I was in my dorm when I heard a knock. I opent the door from my dorm and see Anais there "Hey come on in!" Anais walks in. "I'm glad your here lets sit." Where was Samaira she is too late..
We sit down. "Oh! I forgot to tell you but I asked Cedric to the yuleball and he said yes!!!" That's great, for the uh⌠plan and for you-" She forced a smile, she half hoped she didn't have to be alone during what was supposed to be the best part of her life. "So I assume I'm here to help you fix your fashion?" She joked.
Samaira knocked once. The door opened, and Samaira stood there, already mid smile. It dropped instantly. Because Samairaâs eyes had gone past her, Anais was sitting inside the room. âJust the two of us,â she said with a long pause. âYeah. Right"
"I just want you two to make up! the Yuleball is tommorow! What about the plan??" Anais shifted, looking up at her "Sam, I promise you I didn't tell McLoser out of all people." Samairaâs jaw tightened for a moment, then she nodded once. âI figured,â she said quietly. She stepped past the doorway and into the room. âI guess I donât have much of a choice but to forgive you.â
They got busy fitting all sorts of dresses, Anais mostly sitting it out. She didn't have a date anyway. "What about this dress??"' I show them an ocean theme blue and green dress. "You know.. I think its perfect for you." Samaira said with a proud smile on her face.
