Samuel POV:
— Have a nice day! I don't know how I'm going to stop thinking about magic! Abby, the perfect Abby, kissed him before leaving the flat. You can lock up after me ! Will I see you here tonight?
— Of course you will! Have a great day! He smiled, feeling a happiness so strong he could shout it from the rooftops.
She closed the door and he jumped, ecstatic. Yesterday, he had thought that this might be the end, their end, that this secret would shatter all trust, but no! She understood, she told him she was falling in love with him too! This evening and this night were perfect! Abby is perfect! From now on, no more secrets! No more lies! She's the one, he feels it, he knows it!
He put the breakfast away, checked that everything was clean and tidy, then grabbed his bag and his wand! He was going to see Astoria, his sister, tell her about Abby, tell her everything! Then he was going to tell his friends, shout it out. He transplanned to go near Astoria's house. He knocked, his feet no longer touching the ground because of his excitement.
Astoria opened the door, surprised to see him. She immediately took him in for a long, loving hug.
— It's so good to see you for real! I... she looked at him, happy.
He then saw Draco in his pyjamas.
— I'm interrupting you and Draco! I..." he realised, suddenly embarrassed.
— You haven't been in London for over six months! You're taking priority!" Draco reacted, taking me for a reunion hug.
— I've... I've been hiding something from you. I... Abby!" he couldn't help saying ecstatically.
— Who? Okay, slow down and start from the beginning, his sister told him, surprised as she pointed to the sofa.
He started to unpack everything, unable to stay in place.
— Two months ago, I met Abby in Bentford! We started seeing each other more and more often! She's perfect for me! It's magical with her. I took a breath, slowing down for both of them. I had to tell her about the magic.
— Wait," Astoria stopped me. Why do you need to ? Abby doesn't know about magic?
— No, she's a Muggle. I know what you're going to say, but I've never been through this with a girl and I'm sure about it.
— Samuel Alistair Greengrass!" shouted Astoria. He tensed immediately, looking away. She calms herself. Firstly, did you ask permission? Secondly, did you tell Abby?
— Yes, I asked for permission, I defended myself. I'm not stupid!
— You know I'd never say that, I'm not the parents. She said more quietly. I just want to make sure you haven't broken any magical laws by being too in love. I can see you're very excited and in love, which is wonderful.
— Samuel," Draco intervened for the first time. Did you tell her? How did she react ?
— It came as a shock to her, but she asked questions and after my explanations and books, she found it amazing. She didn't leave, like... he breathed, I was afraid of it. It doesn't scare her. The only obstacle for us is out of the way! With Abby, I want it all! I can have it all. I want you to meet her! She's smart, so beautiful. She's cultured, she's amazing! You've got to meet her! Astoria looked at him, smiling and a little worried. He anticipated, if you think I'm getting carried away, it's been two months and we're at the beginning, I know but she knows about magic and now there's no stopping us.
— I'm happy for you. I'd be delighted to meet her, if she agrees. Samuel smiled; it was still important for him to have his sister on his side.
— I also want to meet the person who makes you so happy and put a face to that name. Draco added, holding back a little laughter.
— We haven't talked about it yet, but I think she will be. I've told her about you. he said, looking at Astoria. 'I've got pictures of Abby,' he said, pulling out his phone.
He showed the photos, wanting to over— explain, before holding back.
