Chapter 11* Under the mistletoe
oOoOoOo
Weeks of anticipation have passed in a blur of gossip, dress-drama and love declarations. Girls raced each other around the school, throwing their crushes names at eachothers heads, while the boys tried to act cool about their non-existing dance skills. Now the Yule ball was only a few hours away. Less than twenty four hours until they would see eachother differently. In classic attire and with the intention to dance the night away.
The sun shone bright on a day like this, covered in clouds of white. It was like a white sheer that spared the students of Hogwarts from the straight sun.
The boys were currently wandering around the castle on the search for their girl. They had started calling them 'their girls' after Peter had started calling Lovia 'his girl'. Though, Peter used every opportunity to remember the guys that technically 'their girls' was wrong as Lovia was his. And only his.
As they passed picture frames and other students they couldn't help but discuss the upcoming ball again. It was the most important and fun thing coming towards them.
"So, has Ivan asked you yet?" Peter asked Sirius with a knowing smile on his face. Peter knew he had. He had seen the bright smile on Sirius face yesterday, after he had returned from their meeting on the quidditch pitch.
His eyes were shining so bright and the look in his lips was nothing like the usual smirk he wore. It was a true an honest and real smile. Unlike Peter had really seen on him before. There was the smile that the boys got. Full of brotherly love, so true, everyone could see it. But this smile was different. It wasn't platonic or brotherly. It was everything but that, actually. It was lovely. Full of adoration, excitement and anticipation. It was the look that a lover threw his crush. And even if Peter knew that they weren't lovers, not yet, he knew that they soon would be. He was sure of it.
Because they fit so good.
Because they worked.
Because they were different. They made eachother different, better.
"Yes." Sirius said with a proud smile. Not the arrogant kind but the endeared one.
James clapped in his hands joyfully before patting Sirius' shoulder in a brotherly way. "That's great, man. We'll done."
"I'm happy for you, Siri." Remus couldn't help but throw a giant smile at his mate as well. He was so very happy that he'd finally found someone that made his smile as bright.
Peter's excitement about the ball rose with every second that passed. He couldn't bear the thought of Lovia going with another guy. It made his blood boil and the sound in his ears rise. And to know that she wanted to go with him, that she had waited for him to ask her even if that meant rejecting other offers, made his heart race in a speed he hadn't known to this day. His heart was filled with a love he didn't know until he met Lovia. He had felt it the first time he met as her as well as the second time. And even if those dates were years apart, the feeling was still the same. So indescribable to him. So different from what he had ever known. Yet, so very similar to what he had always felt around Lovia.
