If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy Or would it be so beautiful?
Three days passed before I spoke to Albus again.
I wasn't avoiding him, and he wasn't avoiding me (or at least, I didn't think he was) but we were both busy, me with deflecting Rose's endless questions and him with schoolwork.
After all, we were doing our N.E.W.T.S and Albus had one more than most people. He'd signed himself up for an extra one after he couldn't decide what he wanted to be. Torn between an Auror and a Healer, he eventually decided to just take an extra N.E.W.T just to be on the safe side.
For the first day or two, I was fine with simply replaying the kiss in my mind during particularly dull lessons and smiling to myself, but then on the third day I started to worry.
What if Albus had decided that the kiss was just a kiss, nothing more? What if he had said he wanted to kiss me again in the heat of the moment? What if he was avoiding me? What if he thought I was avoiding him?
I started to drive myself crazy. And then I started to drive Rose crazy.
'Just talk to him,' she told me, as we were sitting in the common room studying. Or, at least, she was studying- I was thinking about Albus. And talking about Albus.
'You could write a bloody book on the damn subject of him at this point,' she said, frowning down at her parchment and then scratching out a sentence on her Defence Against The Dark Arts essay. 'I'm sure you could come up with at least a sentence to say to him.'
The light through the common room window shone on her hair, making it gleam and look almost golden. I sighed, and stood up. 'Okay. I'll talk to him.'
Rose snickered.
I reached the common room door this time before I ran back to my chair and flopped into it. 'I can't do it,' I said miserably. 'I just can't. This is so important! What if I mess it up?'
Rose looked amused. 'I'm sick of hearing you talk about him, and I've been trying to get you two together for the past six years. I never thought this day would come, but honestly, if I hear you say anything about that stupid boy I'm going to throw a book at your head.'
I nodded. 'Right. Okay. I should just stand up and go talk to him.'
Rose eyed me. 'Either do it or don't. It isn't too hard, honey.'
'It is hard, though, that's the entire point!' I shook my head. 'Okay. Fine. I'm going. I'm doing it.'
I took a deep breath, and walked out of the door to find Albus.
I am evil you haven't had an update in so long whoops
