"....."
I was staring at a confession letter in front of me at breakfast, speechless.
When I woke up this morning, I got prepared and went to the Great Hall with Edith and Hermione. Edith was talking to the Dean Thomas while Hermione was talking to Ron and Harry. I was eating and talking with Luna, who sat with me for breakfast when the owls flew in. Like usual, my parents kept asking me about how I felt about Hogwarts and what subjects I liked. I wrote back and went back to eating my breakfast when I saw a Tawny owl with a pink letter flying down on the table in front of me.
I took the letter before the owl left and I was confused.
"I don't remember anyone who uses a pink envelope to write letters in." is what I thought to myself while opening the letter.
Dear Rowan,
My name's Rue Mesten, a Ravenclaw. I cannot put in words how I feel about you when I see you walk by.
These intense feelings will never go away until I can have you in my arms,
and that you realize that there is only one woman for you and it is me.
Everyday, I hope that you will come into my life and tell me how you feel
because what I feel for you exists only inside my heart.
You are the only one that can understand me, and you can only reach it;
I give you the key, please unlock what you know can be the love you can only dream of.
You are beautiful and I can't help but fall for you deeper every day.
I can only hope that the day will arrive when you look deep into my eyes
and you tell me what I have been waiting to hear:
that you love me the same way I'm thinking of you always.
Sincerely,
Rue Mesten
"'Huh!? What in the name of Merlin is this?" I looked over at the Ravenclaw's table and saw a small girl with brown hair and black eyes staring at the Gryffindors before turning around as fast as she could when she saw me staring at her.
I grabbed my hair and looked down.
"How did she fall in love with me?"
"What did I do that made her interested in me?"
Is what I thought while Luna was confused.
"Rowan, what's wrong?"
As she reaches out to grab the letter, I stopped her.
"Oh, uh. I need this letter right now." I made a random excuse before yelling.
"EEEEEDITH!!!" everyone turned and stared at me.
"Woah, chi-" I grabbed her wrist before leaving.
"Let's sit together again at lunch, OK Luna?"
"Explain this." I shoved the letter at her.
She read the letter while I crossed my arm, waiting for her to finish reading.
"Woah, I didn't expect you to actually get a letter this soon, especially after only being in this school for a month."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS SOON?!?!"
"Oh, come on. Even though you're one of the kids who always get in trouble, you're a chick magnet."
"......Say it one more time and you're dead."
"OK, OK. Calm down. First thing's first, what are you going to do?"
"How am I supposed to know what to do? I've never been confessed to before, OK!"
I was freaking out and to be honest, I really had no idea what to do.
"Just say no if you have no feelings for her." says Edith casually.
"Like hell."
"Well, suit yourself." she shrugs.
"Wai-" but she was gone.
Ughhhhh, great. Now I'm on my own. I've never been the one to hurt other people's feelings, which is why I'm struggling. I've tried to ask Hermione for help....but she ignored me for no reason. I've also tried asking Luna for help, but in the end, I helped her instead. What am I supposed to do then? To accept? Nope, not gonna happen. I've promised myself that I won't EVER get involved in 3D love, because hm, I don't really have a reason for it. Well, who cares, I need to get back on how to reject her(without hurting her feelings).
...It's been four hours and honestly, if someone else start giving me love letters, I'm going to go crazy.
"...Uh, hi, Rue. Do you have free time?" I asked awkwardly.
"......Oh, um, yeah!" says Rue, who's red in the face.
".........I've read the letter that you sent me before.......and..........."
"And?"
"I'M VERY SORRY, BUT I CAN'T ACCEPT YOUR CONFESSION!" the words spilled out of me and I couldn't control it.
".....It's OK."
"...It's OK?"
I was flabbergasted. I thought that she was going to tear up and cry but she's smiling.
"Do you know why I fell for you?" Rue asks.
"No, no I don't."
"Well, it's because even though you're famous, you aren't arrogant like some others. You are humble, and you are ready to help anyone in need. These are only some of the reasons why I fell for you and I could go on and on, but I don't really think that you would appreciate that, would you?" Rue asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Uh, I would if I have the time. Since I have Quidditch and other clubs to do, I don't really have time to spare."
"Pft, hahaha. You don't have to be so nervous. Even though I got rejected, I'm not going to give up."
"Oh, O-wait what? Can you please repeat it again, please?"
Shoot, did I just made things worse?
"Oh, it's not what you think. It's just that I'm going to start a fanclub." says Rue.
"Is it for a certain aurthor or someone famous?"
"Well, they are famous."
"Oh, then who is it?"
"You."
"WHAT!"
"Oh, come on. Even if you don't realize it, there are many boys and girls at Hogwarts who's in love with you, you know."
I dropped onto my knees.
This is exactly what I feared. Everyone falling in love with me, hurting other's feelings, etc.
"Hey, Rowan?" Rue asksk, but I couldn't hear her. All I felt was dread.
"ROWAN HAYWOOD!" Rue shouts.
"W-what happened!" I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Calm down. The fanclub is for people who admire/likes(crush) you. Even though some would get jealous when you find a lover, most will still be supportive. Think of this as me forgiving you for rejecting me." says Rue before she kissed my left cheek.
"Bye!" says Rue, who then left, leaving me dumbfounded.
