"𝕻eter" I greeted, stepping out of the common room, finding the blonde boy stood against the wall with his hands in his pockets as though he was waiting for someone or something, a smile etching its way on to his face when he met my gaze, sending me a small wave. I stepped closer to him, with a faint laugh, quirking my head to the side as I asked curiously, "What are you doing here? The kitchens are that way-"
"I'm here for you actually, Willow. We have transfiguration now, don't we? Well, I said I'd come and walk with you there so you didn't have to walk alone" He replied, my heart warming in my chest, his blue eyes sparkling at me,
"That's very kind of you— and lucky, i've been meaning to talk to you, shall we get going?" I asked, his head nodding, the two of us beginning to stroll through the hallways together, the boy reaching and taking the bag off my shoulder to carry it as he questioned,
"What is it you want to talk to me about?"
He doesn't know why, but he feels excitement and a burst of happiness inside from the veela's words— she wanted to talk to him. It's usually James, Sirius or Remus that people talk to over him and he's usually in the shadows or distracted by something, but there's something he likes about Willow, she always makes him feel included and finds ways to spark a very good conversation with him that he can be interested in. Like she likes the real him and isn't just talking to him because she's going out with Remus, she really wants to talk to him— it makes him feel wanted even more.
"Oh I read this article in Witch Weekly I thought you would like to read, It's in my bag, i'll give it to you when we get there, I circled it and wrote your name on the top so you'll find it quicker. I also saw this really cool new wizarding chessboard and pieces I thought you'd love so i've put an order in for you, it should come soon, my treat" I informed him, smiling at the way he turned to me with wide eyes, his cheeks plink as he repeated,
"You've put an order in for a chess set and found an article I'd like......for just me?"
"Of course, you're the king at chess" I nodded, an amused laugh emitting from my laugh when he jumped up in the air, slinging his arm over my shoulders to bring me closer and kissing my temple in pure happiness as he uttered,
"Thank you, Willow. You're the best"
"Do tell the others that, it will rile them up" I told his mischievously, his head nodding in agreement,
"Especially Padfoot, he's the easiest....oh while we're here, guess what i've heard on the great vine?" He began, my eyes lighting up as I turned to him as we carried on strolling the hallways, ignoring the looks we were getting for walking together with his arm around my shoulders, as if I was cheating on Remus— all the Marauders are affectionate, whether it's with each other or with Scarlette and I especially, before I was with Remus and Scarlette was with Sirius, you could count on atleast one of them touching us, linked arms, around the shoulders, playing with our hair, playing with our fingers— it was mainly Remus for me, but the other three were affectionate too. Especially James with his hugs, he is definitely a hugger.
