"Hey Angie," Alicia greeted as the two met up for lunch at the Leaky Cauldron. "You'll never guess what just happened."
"You woke up and realised you were hopelessly in love with me?" Alicia chuckled and moved to take her coat off, allowing Angelina the time to get rid of her hurt face and swallow a mouthful of butterbeer. "So tell me, what happened?"
"Oliver Wood asked me out. Me!" Angelina smiled at the pure happiness emanating from her best friend. Though she was preventing her from having her own happiness, she couldn't fault her hers.
"That's great, love!" Angelina responded and allowed herself to be soaked up into Alicia's excitement and soon, her bubbliness allowed her to move to other topics, less hurtful topics and quicker than expected, lunch was over and Alicia was packing up to leave.
"I'll see you soon, yeah?" Alicia double checked and Angelina smiled at her.
"You just try and keep me away." Alicia smiled appreciatively, kissed her on the cheek goodbye before heading to the floo.
"So, that was just as awkward as it was last week," Hannah commented, wiping the countertop in front of her. "But luckily for you, your best friend seems to be oblivious. Unless she's just acting oblivious so as to not outright reject you. She might fear that with a voiced rejection, you'd abandon her."
"Hannah, why are you always so damn cheerful after lunch?"
"Sorry," she apologised, flushing. Hannah hated silences and always tried to fill them with talk but half the time the natter that came out of her mouth hurt.
"Well," Angelina said as she stretched. "You know about my love life, tell me about yours."
"I think I like Hermione," she offered after a pause. "From one lesbian to another, you got any advice?"
"Yeah. Rule number one. Don't ever fall in love with a straight girl."
