ALYRA walked into her dorm room and heard her three roommates whispering a little as they all sat on clara's bed, looking at her as she furrowed her eyebrows together in confusion.

"is it true?" her one roommate, aurora suddenly asked, and she looked at her confused, giving her a questioning look

"huh?" alyra asked in confusion as she went near her bed to unpack her belongings as she had yet to do so yet, putting harrys gryffindor sweatshirt underneath her blanket as she grabbed it, she felt three pairs of eyes on her and shook her head in confusion

"is it true that you and potter are a thing?" another of the three, eleanor asked, making alyra look towards them with wide eyes

"what!?" she asked in a loud whisper as she looked at them nervously

"so it's true?" clara asked, a small smile forming on her face

mind you, alyra and these girls had spoken maybe one time before now, and suddenly they were questioning her on her love life?

"why are you asking?" she asked, sitting on the end of her bed as she faced the three girls on clara's bed. she saw venus jump up onto the bed and pulled the cat into her chest, smiling at the orange cats quiet purring against her

"we overheard you and diggory talking about him." aurora told her honestly and she hummed in response, nodding slowly, "please tell us if it's true or not."

"if it is i think it's totally adorable by the way." clara told her with a smile on her face, "i'm a total sucker for romance, especially with the whole rivalry between him and your brother. it's totally romantic." clara sighed dreamily and alyra laughed at her

"okay you have to promise not to tell anyone." lyra smiled as she sat criss-cross on her bed, her words making the other three perk up, "i mean we're not officially 'a thing' but we definitely flirt a lot, and we almost kissed a couple of times."

"please tell us everything." clara said, motioning for her to go over and sit with them on the blonde girls bed

"let me just get changed into something comfortable and i'll give you a run down." alyra told them, grabbing a pair of black sweat shorts from her bag and harry's sweatshirt from under her blanket, pulling them both on quickly. she saw the girls' raised eyebrows at her wearing the gryffindors sweatshirt.

"'we're not a thing' my ass." clara said, making alyra blush a little as she sat with the other three on the end of clara's bed

"well, we're not... technically." she shrugged, "we pretty much act like a couple though. i mean, he always makes some excuse to touch me in some way, weather it's holding my hand or just touching my shoulder or something." she told them, smiling as she talked about him, "and he's just so sweet to me. we were writing each other back and forth over break and every sentence just made me melt, i mean, if you read some of the things he'd send me, you probably would too."

"this is so exciting." aurora smile, "tell us more. how did it start up?"

"well, i don't really know." alyra shrugged, "at first i was trying to shove it down but i- that didn't really work."

"and you guys haven't kissed yet?" clara asked, "you said that, right?

"yeah."

"has he expressed wanting to?" she asked again, she seemed seriously invested

"a good amount of times." she chuckled to herself, thinking back to the couple of times they both said straight up how much they wanted to kiss the other, and then proceeded to do nothing, "i mean, he told me straight forward a couple of times that he wanted to, hasn't done anything about it though. but at the same time, neither have i."
