Louis-
Total boredom. That is what Louis Weasley felt the entire first quarter. The Halloween feast was about to start soon, and the entire school was buzzing about it. He would have gone to Hogsmede, but it's for third years and up. He sat through his entire Potions class drawing. He was quite good at it. He was drawing a landscape of a small town in Northern Ireland. He went there when he was nine and couldn't keep the image out of his head. That was his happy place.
BANG! The professor slammed his hand against his sketch book.
"Mr. Weasley, I'm afraid I will have to take this," said the professor. Louis slowly lifted his hands off of the desk as if he were being held hostage. The pencil he had in his hand fell out and landed soundly on the floor. The professor snatched it from the desk and strode away. Louis placed his hands slowly on his desk. He looked to the desk next to him. Sitting there was his cousin, Lily and she gave him a helpless look.
'Way to go, Louis.' he thought.
Lysander-
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Lysander's entire body was tingling with nervousness. His jaw and fists clenched. Roxanne opened the door. Her eyes widened a little and you could see that she was gasping under her lip.
"Um...Lysander!" she said quite loudly.
"Hi," he said very loudly as well.
They both stood there between the threshold. Awkwardly.
"Won't you come in?" she asked gesturing her hand inward. Lysander nodded and strode nervously in. Her room was a bit different from the other Gryffindor's rooms. It was still the same, but her area of the room was unique. She had a little shelf built over her French dresser that had three little porcelain figurines. On the dresser there were books about the Muggle World and a tiny snow globe of Prague.
"Prague?" Lysander asked while picking it up. Roxanne looked over and chuckled a bit. She nodded.
"It's sort of been a little dream of mine. Where do you want to go?"
"I've always been fascinated by South American culture. Places like Rio and Buenos Aires fascinate me wildly! Have you ever been? To South America, I mean?"
"Once. The summer Fred and I turned thirteen, our family decided to take a trip to Colombia. It had a lot of energy and that sort of made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I like things that are quiet and peaceful."
Lysander nodded and bit his lip. He changed the subject and said, "Anyway, I have something to ask of you."
Roxanne was somewhat anticipating this. She knew she had to reject him, though.
"I sort of already knew." Lysander stood frozen and had his eyes widened and tightened his fist. "Then, what do you say?"
"I can't. I'm with Robert."
"Do you love him?"
"Of course I do!" she said pretty loudly.
"I don't think you do."
"I love Robert." she said again.
"I think you're lying to me, Roxanne." Lysander moved closer, hardly leaving space between them.
"I can trust Robert." This made Lysander step back a bit. "Are you saying that you can't trust me?"
"Yes. I would not want to be with someone whose unfaithful. I know what you did with his sister last year and with Camila De la Vega."
"I only broke up with them so I'd have a chance with you!"
Whoa! Did not expect that. This is when Roxanne put all the pieces of the puzzle together. She went back to their original position where there was barely breathing space between them. "If you're lying to me, say so right now because I am about to fall mindlessly in love with you."
Lysander took the back of her head and placed his lips on hers. He was caressing the her lips with his and they plopped onto her bed. He could smell her scent on her pillows. They smelled like strawberries.
Teddy-
Finally! He caught up with Vicky. He saw her mingling with her fellow Gryffindors and ran to her.
"Teddy!" she said startled.
"We need to talk," he said through heavy breaths. He took Vicky by the arm and she lamely followed. She nearly tripped on the cobblestone walkway. Finally, they made it to the threshold of one of the paths. All you could see were their silhouettes.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Why are you avoiding me all of a sudden?"
"I haven't been avoiding you," she lied.
"You're lying. You're my girlfriend. The normal you would be attached to me at the hip all day. Tell me what's wrong Victoire Weasley."
"It's not important. You might be offended and never want to speak to me again," she said attempting to walk away, but Teddy grabbed both of her arms. He pulled her toward his face and kissed her more passionately than he had before.
"Nothing, and I mean nothing, is unimportant when it comes to you. I'm worried about you," he said.
"Can we talk about this later? I really need to be somewhere."
"Fine. Meet me in the Room Of Requirement." She nodded and almost ran off. She turned around and walked fast to Teddy and kissed him on the lips. Hopefully that would not be the last one.
"Don't ever leave me. Promise?" she asked.
"Absolutely. I promise." he smiled and let her go.
