How was a girl supposed to react after having her first kiss?

Josephine didn't count her kiss with Pansy as her first one, it was simply for fun. But with Theo. He was her first kiss and he probably had no idea.

Should he even be considered a first kiss even though it was in a game of spin the bottle?

It was better if he didn't know, she kept telling herself. He might have looked at her differently.

That night at the party, Josephine went back into her dorm and smiled, genuinely smiled for the first time in a while. She usually faked her smiles around people, or gave them some poor excuse of a half smile, but that kiss made her genuinely smile.

She was happy, she was finally living out her teenage years doing what teenagers were supposed to be doing. Partying, drinking, kissing, smoking. She was happy.

But how was she supposed to act now? How was she supposed to act around Theo? They did have a class together after all.

Would it be weird? Awkward?

She was definitely overthinking at that point.

Josephine and Theodore shared the class of Hisyory of Magic together, their final class of the day. She was headed there right now, it was her first day of classes since the party.

She hadn't seen him all weekend, according to Blaise he was with his family. She really wanted to see him again though.

When she walked into the classroom, he was already there, with an empty seat next to him. He looked at her as she walked through the door, before signaling with his eyes at the seat next to him, motioning for her to sit there.

Class hadn't begun yet, they still had a few minutes. Josephine sat at the seat next to Theo's, crossing her one leg over the other.

"Riddle" he said with a smirk on his face.

"Nott" she gave him a sweet smile, one of her real ones.

"Haven't seen you since the party"

"Yea, the party" she said almost as if she got flashbacks from that Friday night.

"We had fun didn't we?"

"Certainly did, before professor snape barged into the common room" she said as she chuckled lightly, causing him to do the same.

"Yea, ruined all the fun didn't he? Listen i wanted to ask-"

"No talking, class had started" Professor Flinch spoke, interrupting what Theo was saying.

He rolled his eyes in frustration as he sat back on his chair. Professor Flinch started talking about some powerful wizards that went down in history. Josephine wasn't fazed by his lesson, she was actually pretty bored.

Theodore leaned back more into the chair, crossing his arms over his chest and spreading his legs out. That caused one of his knees to touch with hers, just like her first day.

It seemed to be a habit, every day when they had that class together, Theodore always touched his knee up to hers. She found it cute, like really cute. She hadn't admitted it, but she had feelings for him.

A few minutes before class ended, Theodore slipped a small folded up piece of paper in front of her, she turned to look at him with her eyebrow slightly raised, before she turned back around and opened up the paper.

meet me at the astronomy tower, 10pm

She turned to look at him, almost asking him with her eyes what about, she had a small smile on her face that she was trying to hold back, she didn't want to look too excited. He just shrugged his shoulders pretending as if he didn't know.
