Pairing(s): Shuheix reader
And finally I get todo the HP AU! Yay!
Due to time constraints, I had to mash up two requests into one, so I hope you don’t mind! For those of you who don’t know, this takes place in the goblet of fire, there’s a ball the magic school is hosting, Hufflepuff and Slytherin are the houses in the school, quidditch is a wizarding sport, a niffler is a kleptomaniac creature, Cedric Diggory is a competitor in the tournament the school Hogwarts is hosting and the three brooksticks is a pub in the wizard only village called Hogsmeade. Enjoy!
And advance happy birthday Shuhei-kun!
“So.” You look up from your copy of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them at your best friendRangiku, who has a serious expression on her face. Her hair is distinctlymussed and somewhat sticks out in all directions. She must have sprinted fromthe quidditch pitch to the great hall.
“So?” You go back to reading your book, though not beforesneaking a glance at the Hufflepuff table. Helooks nice today.
“___-chan,” Rangiku sits beside you, speaking gravely as shereaches for a piece of toast to butter, “Are you aware that one week from-”
“One week from now Hogwarts is going to host the Yule Ball?”You complete her question for her, marking a passage on nifflers for your essayby tapping your wand on it. “Ran, in the last two weeks, I had to break up twofifth years from hexing each other across the fourth floor corridor, witness notless than three fourth years, five third years, two sixth years and one verypersistent seventh year get rejected by Cedric Diggory and was privy to some ofthe most melodramatic methods of asking someone to said ball, a la Keigo Asano,so yes, Rangiku, I am aware.” Youroll your eyes and reach for your cup of pumpkin juice.
Rangiku takes a few seconds to register your mini speech,before responding, “Very well, miss prefect. And are you aware that Mashiro isplanning to ask Shuhei to said ball?”
You spit the juice you’d sipped back into the cup. “She’sgoing to do what?!” The last partcomes out as a very high-pitched squeak and you instinctively look at theHufflepuff table, where the target of your affections is currently talking andlaughing with the aforementioned girl. “I thought she was going to ask Kensei!”
“So you’d better ask him before she does!” Rangiku saysinsistently.
Your face turns red at the prospect of asking Shuhei. IsRangiku forgetting how tongue tied you become in front of him every time youtalk? The fact that you’re able to talk to him at all is a noteworthy miraclein itself. Plus there’s the fact that you have no desire to make yourself looklike a complete idiot in front of a huge crowd of people.
And what if he rejects you? What if he actually likessomeone else and has already made plans for-
“Earth to ___!” Rangiku snaps her fingers in front of yourface, startling you. At that precise moment, Shuhei makes eye contact with you.You quickly look down at your book, praying inwardly that your blush goes away.
Rangiku sighs. It’s pretty obvious to her that you’re notgoing to do the deed on your own. What you need is some careful planning andsome moral support.
“When I agreed to having ‘moral support’, I did not mean ‘drinkfirewhiskey until you run out of fucks to give’!” You hiss in mortification asRangiku chugs it down. The guys in the table next to yours are staring at yourbest friend as some of the drink flows down her mouth.
It’s times like these you wish she hadn’t turned seventeenjust a few months back. When the both of you had been underage, you’d beenforced to listen to her complain about Madam Rosmerta serving her onlybutterbeers, no matter how hard she’d begged, to the point where you nearlyhexed her. If that had been the frying pan, then right now you are in the fire.
You glare at her as you take a sip from your more sensiblychosen butterbeer. “Oh calm down ___, I can hold my liquor!” Rangiku boasts asshe wipes her mouth.
“I agree with ___, Rangiku,” You hear the voice of Gin Ichimarufrom behind you, and turn around to face your friend’s boyfriend. Gin flashesyou his usual grin as he sits beside Rangiku and hands her a few sweets. “Ithink you’ve had enough fire whiskey to last a day. Why don’t you try somesweets now? ___, here you go.” He gives you a brightly coloured toffee.
“Thanks Gin!” You thank the Slytherin and eat it. As youswallow, you feel a peculiar sensation course through you, as though you’reloosening up.
“Oh look ___!” Rangiku exclaims as she looks at the entranceof The three broomsticks, “Shuhei’shere! Why don’t you ask him now!”
You blush as you see Shuhei walk in with his friends. “I can’task him now! There’s so many people here and I haven’t even thought outanything and I really don’t want to embarrass him in front of everyone here andwhat if he says no? I don’t even look that great probably and my hair looksterrible and there’s no makeup on me either, I probably look terrible and he’llbe put off by my looks and-” You say, and stop yourself.
You’re babbling. You don’t remember ever speaking so quicklyabout anything like this. What’s going on?
You look at Gin, who seems to be smirking now. “Gin,” Youbegin carefully, “What was in that toffee you just gave me?”
“Just a simple babbling beverage I brewed up,” Gin nonchalantlyshrugs, making no effort to hide his smirk, “Rangiku told me you had a problemand that you needed my help. Really, who am I to refuse such a thing?”
“Ran!!” You wail as she giggles.
“Oh Shuhei!” She calls out to your crush. When he turns tolook at the three of you, she continues, “___ here wants to tell you something!Privately!”
“Rangiku!” You whimper as he nods and beckons you to followhim outside. Great, now you’ll make him think you’re weird for life! “Help me,Gin!”
“You know ___, I would help,” Gin sniggers as you getup red-faced, “But making fun of you isso much more satisfying.” He ends as you go outside. Screw being yourfriend’s significant other, you are going to kill him. Painfully.
You follow Shuhei to a secluded spot near the shriekingshack. Once you both reach there, Shuhei asks you, “Did you want to saysomething to me, ___?”
The words just pour outof you before you can process what you’re saying, “I did and I meant to ask youit for a while but we never had much time and I was afraid I was going to muckit up because I heard Mashiro was going to ask you and I really like you and Ididn’t want to embarrass you or anything and-”
“You like me?” Shuhei cuts you off, looking rather shocked, “Like…‘like-like’ kind of like?”
“Yes and IwashopingyouwouldgototheYuleballwithme!” You finishand clap your hands over your mouth to shut yourself up. Your face is so hot,people could use it as a heater.
Shuhei just stares at you, his cheeks a light pink. A grinis slowly forming on his lips.
“You like me…you really like me…” He murmurs as thoughhe still can’t quite believe it.
“Yeah and I really hope that you would go with me to the balland I know I look terrible with the dark circles under my eyes and my hair’sbasically a rat’s nest and I know for a fact that people like Lisa and Momo area lot prettier than me but you don’t have to accept or anything and embarrassyourself and all, so-”
Your babbling gets cut off when Shuhei presses his lips toyours.
He kisses you gently and slowly, pulling you closer to him.Your thoughts slow down as you breathe in the scent of parchment and coffeethat surrounds him. When you break for air, he looks at your dazed expressiondelightedly.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” He murmurs, “Why would I turn downthe girl who I like?”
