"Marlene, I don't get what the problem is!" Sirius yelled. The Gryffindor Common room was oddly quiet, though not for lack of people.
"You! You're the problem!" She screeched. Students were watching the argument like a tennis rally, hunkered down on various items of furniture in the hopes that they wouldn't be noticed. They needn't have bothered; the couple - soon to be ex-couple, if their current argument was anything to go by - only had eyes for each other.
"How am I the problem? I haven't changed!"
"Exactly!"
"How is that a problem? We've been dating what? Three months? How can so much have changed?" He was clearly exasperated now.
"That's not the problem! It's that nothing's changed!"
"Why did you want to date me in the first place if you wanted me to change?"
"I don't. Not anymore," she tugged her bottom lip, eyes on the floor to avoid his gaze.
"W-what?"
"Look, I'm sorry. We probably shouldn't have gone out in the first place. I guess- I guess I just liked the idea of you changing for me. Of you wanting to change for me. Is that so wrong?"
"Kinda, yeah."
"Well, I'm sorry! I-"
"You know what? Don't," Sirius waved her apology away, leaving the common room.
