Dumbledore's speech seemed to drag longer than he expected it to be. He was restless and had a bored expression. To be honest, he wasn't even listening.
His mind has been occupied with the thoughts of the girl who told him to remove the badges he made and throw it out.
No one has absolutely told him to do that kind of action. He had everyone in his grip. Everyone would follow his order or would hang around him like they were all lost puppies and he was the owner. Except for Pansy who was in love with Blaise.
Ever since he laid his eyes on her during the summer at the world cup, he could never really get his mind off her. He would have dreams to that night. And every night, the dream would be different. There were dreams wherein he found himself approaching her, helping her hide through the forest or asking her name.
It was never really in his nature to approach girls first. He always had it the other way around. So what made her so special to him?
He found himself looking at her across his table.
How her hair was beautifully tied into a bun, sometimes loose on the weekends, her soft and gentle features as if she found what his headmaster was saying an intriguing one, her saying what she had in mind and standing on her ground.
He was mesmerized by her. Until the light on top of his head lit.
He finally found the answer why he was so into her.
It was how her hair was always beautifully tied into a bun, sometimes loose on the weekends, her soft and gentle features, making her look like she was the most fragile thing in this world, not being scared of voicing out what she has in mind and standing on her own ground. She was herself. And her being herself is what makes his heart race for her.
'She's such a ravenclaw.' He thought to himself. He sometimes found her hanging around with Pansy with a book in her hands, sometimes she was in the library reading her book. Other times he would find her walking around the corridors with her head up high, as if the corridor was a runway.
Everything she did was so magnifying to him that he just couldn't get enough. That no girl in Hogwarts could ever compete nor have.
And it was also the first time he ever felt alive inside.
