"I've never wanted anything the way I want you."
What was wrong with her? She had never felt this way before -she had never cared about a boy. She was Dominique, untamable, heartless, and one-eighth Veela -not some love-struck puppy like she felt. When she snapped her fingers, boys listened; she never had to hint about wanting to dance with a guy. They were always the ones to ask, no, beg her.
What was she playing at last night? She, Dominique, actually hinted to a boy that she wanted to dance with him and he didn't even get the hint! Lysander Scamander, out of all of the guys at that party, was the one whom she wanted to dance with? She told herself that it was just to see if he would fall for her like all of the others but, deep down, she knew that was not even close to the reason. Deep down, Dominique knew that she was having feelings towards that blond, sixth-going-on-seventh year, Ravenclaw.
It was not that he wasn't attractive, because he was, it was just that he was different. He looked at the world in a different way than other boys and it intrigued her. He seemed indifferent to girls, like he didn't ever notice them. Had he ever even had a girlfriend? Not in all of the years that she had known him had she ever really seen him with a girl, now that she thought of it. He was always doing school work or going outside -he never played Quidditch and he was never out-going. Lysander was quiet and kind of shy but if one was to ask him something, he would always answer it truthfully and Dominique liked that. She actually liked many things about him, like how his pale blond hair fell just underneath his ears -perfect to run her fingers thr- "STOP IT!" she yelled in her mind. She could not feel that way towards him -it did not matter if she felt weak in the knees whenever she saw those breath-taking blue eyes or heard that smooth, dreamy voice… They were just friends and that was all.
Oh, that kiss. Even though it only lasted for a second, it was enough to keep her dizzy all night long. His lips were so soft, so perfect. Just thinking of the way his pale cheeks took on a reddish tinge brought a smile instantly to her face. He was so shy and could barely talk right after she kissed him -it was cute.
Dominique hoped that he would send her an owl soon; she really wanted to talk to him or better, see him again. Despite all that she had heard about summer romances, she couldn't let him just slip through her fingers; she had to give it a try. It wasn't like they didn't have another whole year at school after the summer, anyways. She had never wanted a guy like this before and it scared her and excited her all at the same time.
How her heart fluttered like a thousand butterflies when she saw, through her window, a great owl approaching her house.
