MAY 17
The school year was almost over and Jalen hadn't made a return. I had questioned his friends and they were completely oblivious to his disappearance as well.
I had greatly missed him, missed him so vigorously that my heart had physically begun to ache.
After a harsh day of executing my prefect duties; duties I couldn't even do properly, catching up with assignments from every given subject, and studying for the upcoming tests, I ate dinner bluntly with my friends seated around me.
During this time, I had practically forced myself to get over Mattheo. I didn't have a chance. It hurt, it hurt seeing him with his girlfriend, but it felt at peace when I could think of him only as a friend.
For so long, I had thought of him as mine.
He was not. He never would be.
My eyes lured over the Professors who were also having dinner, as a bite of ramen noodles deliciously melted onto my tongue. I glanced over at Dumbeldore, who was having a chat with someone I recognized.....
.....Jalen.

"Where have you been!" I exclaimed, throwing myself on him, his hands circling around my lower back. "You disappeared after the winter break!"
We let go for a moment. "I apologize..."
"My parents are divorced..." He began explaining "...and my mother is quite ill..my grandparents are no use..so sometimes I have to go and take care of her.."
"Oh..." I replied with a glimpse of sorrow. "...you could've lettered though..."
"Couldn't, it's dreadful for the time I stay with her, I swear she hates me because I look like my father.."
"But..enough, talking about my parents Emerlyn.." He finished, his lanky hands grasping softly onto my fingers, as the moonlight hovering over the astronomy tower glared at us.
"Do you have an idea of how much I missed you?"
A sense of blush crept over my cheeks, as I stopped myself from smiling.
"I promise, I missed you more."
Our lips sealed together, as we shared our first kiss under the moonlight in the Astronomy tower.

"Sorry- I couldn't make it on time!" I rushed to Jalen, catching my breath as I had been running consistently for quite a long time. "I was on Patrol..."
"You chose your prefect duties over me?"
"I don't have a choice."
He let out an eye roll. The snacks that I had eaten on my duty, unsweetened.

The picnic was going sweetly as his head rested on my lap as I brushed his brunette hair with my fingers beaming about my academic accomplishments.
"..Professor McGonagall was telling me...I have a high chance of becoming an Auror if I continue exceeding in the subjects I'm currently taking...that means I passed all the exams!"
