Short Story
I've got a story to tell. So listen well, for we will now descend into the deepest darkest secrets of the wishing well.
Whoops, wrong script.

Ok. Here we are.

Dear Diary:
I saw the most adorable thing and I needed to tell you about it. Enjoy it, Diary!
The other day, I am walking along Diagon Alley Boulevard, in order to get to my lunchtime class, Home Economics, on time. This road is quite special, because it's the only one that takes me directly to campus. It's super windy, like you'd expect with all of the cars, it being a main road and all. I'm preoccupied with keeping a tight grip on my Hufflepuff beanie, and I happen to look to my left to see two fellow students walking on the other side of the street.
One of them is taller than the other, and she has dark hair with pale skin. She's wearing a Ravenclaw jersey with a blue and bronze flannel. I know that her name is Cho Chang, because we've spoken once or twice at a party once. The shorter girl, who I dorm with, her name is Susan Bones. She has this gorgeous red hair, and is wearing a Hufflepuff scarf. The scarf is necessary; it helps keep her warm. She has a naturally low body temperature, and that isn't good for her, so it is necessary for her to wear lots of layers. Summer is her element, basically.
I swear to god this is important and I'm not a stalker.
So Cho and Susan are holding hands and walking down the road to the Home Ec course we will most likely be late to.
*holds up index finger in front of face*
One moment, let me just, Awwwwwwwwwww.
*takes hand away*
I'm better now.
Moving on.
Then a giant gust of wind appears seemingly out of nowhere and bursts down the main road. To give you an idea of how strong it is: I nearly lose my entire backpack full of my supplies and such, which almost makes me fall over. I look up and see that the wind has ripped poor Susan's scarf off, and it's now spiralling down the street. She has a turtleneck on underneath, so no major crisis. But, you know, still.
Now, before you can blink, taller, jersey wearing (girlfriend of the freaking century. It's relevant, I promise) Cho Chang, rips off her jersey like a freaking Lesbian Superman, ready for action, and is about to fly into the sun. She throws her jersey over Susan's head, and sprints off down the street after the scarf, which is now really far away. She eventually retrieves it, and I am not the only one who watches as she sprints back to Susan to give it back.
I mean DAMN, five stars there, girlfriend of the year, holy avocado cheesecake (mmmm, cheesecake). Sweet Boba Tea, honey loving sugar baby. I'm just spitting words out now, because it is honestly the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Like, score, points to Susan for getting herself a woman like that.
*applauds*
And that is the story of how I realized what romance and chivalry looked like. Just, that there moment was so beautiful and glorious, I couldn't help but tell it.
Sincerely,
Me
