Chapter 3: Feelings?
Rowena Ravenclaw sat at the staff table, five years after Hogwarts School had been founded and they had students ranging from eleven in their first year to fifteen in their fifth year, watching one of her fellow founders, Salazar Slytherin. He obviously had feelings for her, but she wasn't so sure she had feelings for him in return. Sure her heart raced whenever she saw him and her hands sweated whenever she was in his presence, but she wasn't sure if it added up to love or not. So she decided to talk to her mother, Roberta Ravenclaw.
"What's wrong, Rowena?" Roberta asked her daughter.
"Mum, I just want to know if … because I've been feeling like this whenever I'm in Salazar Slytherin's presence … whenever I'm in his presence, my heart races and my hands sweat. But I'm not sure if it amounts up to love or not." She said.
"Does this happen often, or is it only when you're in his presence?" Roberta asked again.
"It only happens whenever I'm in his presence. It doesn't happen any other time. And when he addresses me, I find that I blush slightly." Rowena admitted.
"Those symptoms definitely do amount to love." Roberta said and Rowena thanked her mother and left.
Back at school, Rowena approached Slytherin shyly.
"What's wrong Rowena?" he asked her softly.
"Salazar, I'm … ummm … I don't know how to put this … I'm in love with you." She admitted.
"So am I." he replied. "With you I mean, not me." He added quickly and the pair laughed.
Rowena had been dating Slytherin for two days before they told Gryffindor and Hufflepuff they were dating.
"Haha! I knew you two had feelings for each other!" Gryffindor said triumphantly.
"We didn't at the time, but we do now." Rowena said and Gryffindor's triumphant look disappeared.
"Good point." He said as the other three laughed in the background.
