❝she was a beautiful dreamer.
the kind of girl who
kept her head in the clouds,
loved above the S T A R S
and left regret beneath the EARTH
she walked on.❞
there was flicker of regret as her figure came into view a flash of green meeting his eye sends his vision to catch some distant point down the corridor. a slight muscle twitching within the line of his jaw.
❝ of course you were. ❞
his words disdainful and stiff. although
not quite so acidic as his usual tone.
realizing the pregnant, awkward pause he had created his answer was hasty and regrettably childish ❝ … i wasn’t hiding. ❞
a lump rose and lodged itself in her throat as his words hit her, the familiar sting that came with his disdain digging further into the open wound that their falling out left behind. she wanted to squirm yet she held back the instinct, wary of granting him such a pleasure. ❝you weren’t exactly in plain sight either, you startled me.❞ her chin rose, a meek sign of bravery coloring her expression upon facing her former friend. ❝geez sev. weren’t you supposed to be doing rounds later this week, i don’t recall having you down for tonight.❞
“ look at ya … bilingual as hell. might have ya trail behind me an’ translate for people. yer not busy, right ? no … prestigious school titles that double as hinky innuendos ? ”
❝sounds like a splendid way to spend my time, certainly much more interesting than my daily chores.❞
❝at least the hinky innuendos carry some truth to them, potter can vouch for that.❞ a lazy smile spread across her lips as her eyes sparkled, enjoying the soft banter that they carried on.
heading from the library towards the dungeons at the sound of steps around the corner, he took the opportunity to materialize from the shadows “ is there some reason … you’re out past curfew? “
lily took a startled step backwards as the boy came into view, her green eyes sparkling wildly as she caught a glimpse of his familiar face. though the surprise didn’t fade, she managed to compose herself, crossing her arms defensively as she faced him head on. ❝i’ve got rounds, parkinson requested a switch and i was happy to oblige. why are you hiding like that?❞
“LOOK I’M JUST SAYIN’ —- you want in, it’s gonna cost you more than that. the buy in for these games ain’t cheap, despite how your handsome host looks.”
❝you’re haggling over a buy in to a silly game? these are students not high rollers upping the stakes.❞
