An: This one was written for the prompt of DeanXPavarti and Irreplaceable. AnneCpc: This was actually written for a competition over at HPCF, so all my prompts were given to me there. But if you would like to, you can send in two characters and a word/anything prompt by review, and I will do it once I finish the ones I need to have done for the competition. Thanks for reading!
"C'mon Dean, just do it already." Seamus told his best friend who was staring across the common room at Pavarti Patil. "I'm sick of seeing yeh like this. Ask her out."
Dean's eyes grew wide and he realized he had been staring. "I'm not- I wasn't.." He sighed and looked at Seamus, "It's that obvious?"
"Well yeah! Whenever she enters a room yeh can't hold up a proper conversation." A lopsided grin appeared on Seamus' face as he chuckled lightly at his friend. "So, why haven't yeh asked her out yet?"
Dean just shook his head. He knew that Pavarti would never want to go out with him. All the time he'd known her she'd always been more interested in the popular guys that everyone else fawned over. Well, at least that was what it seemed like whenever he heard he talking to Lavender Brown. "She'd never say yes." He sighed.
"Well, yeh never know until yeh try!" With that Seamus gave Dean a small shove in Pavarti's direction.
After first sending a small glare at Seamus, Dean got up his courage and made his way over to where she sat doing her homework. "Uh, hey, can I talk to you for a minute."
"Sure Dean, what's up?" She replied with a smile as she gestured to the chair across from her.
"Well, I uh, I like this girl, but I don't know how to ask her out."
Dean didn't see the knowing smile that appeared on her face. "How about you tell me a scenario of what you would do, and then I'll tell you how a girl would react. Would that help?" Pavarti asked.
"Yeah- Yeah definitely, that would work." Dean said, hoping he wasn't blushing much.
"Okay, then go. What's a way you would do it?"
"I would, I would come up to her, and I would tell her that I wanted to talk to her. Then I would say that she was really irreplaceable to me and that I'd liked her as more than just a friend for a while now. And then, well I guess I would ask her if she would go out with me." Dean had tried to not look Pavarti in the eye while he was talking, but he would have seen the large grin on her face if he had. "So, what do you think she would say?"
"Took you long enough." Pavarti smirked.
Dean looked up at her, confused, "Wha-?"
"Yes, She says yes." His confusion made her smile even more. "I'd love to go out with you, Dean."
"Really?" Dean grinned, he couldn't have been happier. "Wait, you knew it was you?"
"Yep! Let's just call it a woman's intuition." She laughed, not bothering to let it slip that Seamus had been talking him up to her for weeks now.
