Seamus glanced nervously across the Great Hall, tables pushed aside to make room for the dance floor. He saw Lavender, all dressed in deep green (which complimented her hair quite nicely), and she caught his eye and grinned.
Seamus looked down at his feet, and after a while, excused himself from Dean's table. He wound his way through the crowd of people.
"Lavender?"
She smiled at him. Seamus vaguely noticed his hands were shaking. He hoped she didn't notice.
"D'you wanna, y'know...?"
"No, I don't know."
She was making this hard for him.
So he skipped the talking part altogether.
