Elaine followed Theo out of the common room and into the quiet, dim hallways of the castle. With each step she took, her stomach did twists and turns and her face grew hot and heavy with anxiety. She was completely unsure how this conversation was going to go, and she was absolutely positive that her friends were pissed.

To be fair, pissed was an understatement for Ginny Weasley.

Once the two were far enough from the Common Room to avoid any unsuspecting party guests, Theo stopped and leaned up against the wall, and Elaine stopped and looked at him, keeping her distance.

He looked good tonight, of course.

"So?" Elaine asked as she crossed her arms in front of her, keeping the same stern and serious look on her face. "Talk."

Theo looked up at her, clearing his throat before he began to speak. "How are you?"

"Fantastic." Elaine said sarcastically. "What do you have to say to me?"

"Right." Theo replied as he thought about how to word all of his thoughts. He had thought for the entire night, as soon as he saw Elaine and how good she looked in her outfit, how pretty she was, especially when the lights hit her just right, but now that she was right in front of him, he was at a loss for words and all of his plans went straight out the window.

He sighed, looking down at the ground before looking back up at her. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sure you are." Elaine replied shortly. If Theo was going to beg for her back, she was at least going to give him a run for his money. "An explanation would be fantastic, Theodore."

"It's a pisspoor one." Theo told her, and she nodded. "But I'll tell you."

Truthfully, Theo didn't really have an explanation. I mean, he did, but it was ridiculous and made him sound like a complete bastard. However, he got himself into this situation, so now he had to get himself out of it.

"I don't really know why I did it, honestly." he began as he ran his hands through his hair out of frustration – with himself. "I just got frustrated that you couldn't do anything that night, and I saw your posts with all of your friends."

"Do not tell me you got jealous." Elaine said through a laugh, because she truly couldn't comprehend it. They had spent two nights together, he had no right. "Of Harry and Ron of all people. Have you met them?"
