005. ╱ 🦋⠀⠀ ❝ trouble in paradise. ❞
DECEMBER ARRIVED, LEAVING MORE SNOW AND A REAL PILE OF HOMEWORK FOR THE FIFTH GRADERS.
⠀⠀Layla hadn't had much luck talking to Ron since that day: the boy had been avoiding her every time she'd come over to try and talk to him; to the blank stares of Harry and Hermione, who were also trying to get him to talk to the brunette again, but to no avail.
⠀⠀"I think Ron thought you had a thing for Ernie," Hermione told her once in the Library, while they were doing homework together. "Because he's been criticising him all the time..., even ignoring him at prefect meetings."
⠀⠀Harry had an opinion about it too.
⠀⠀"Ron is very proud, Lay," he said to her in the Library too, but he was only passing. "When something gets in his head it's very difficult to get it out... Remember how many times he has got mad at me and Hermione and stopped talking to us. He has self-esteem issues, even though we tell him that you and him are nothing... I've really tried everything, but he's an airhead."
⠀⠀Wayne insisted that she give him time, and that he would realise his mistake on his own. Megan, on the other hand, suggested that they should lock them both in an empty classroom until they worked things out. Layla wanted neither option.
⠀⠀The last DA meeting was coming up on that day, making the Hufflepuff even more nervous than usual, since after that she wouldn't have another chance to talk to Ron until after the holidays. As stupid as it sounded, she was afraid that the boy would forget her.
⠀⠀"You can do it, girl, I'm confident it'll all work out today," Megan told her as they walked with Wayne towards the Room of Requirement, in a crooning voice. "I have a good feeling about it!"
⠀⠀"Not to put you down, Lay," the boy interrupted, giving the blonde a dirty look, "but if you haven't achieved anything in the last few weeks... who's to say that you will now?"
