All right, a VERY short chapter for me, almost 150 words (I think 146 - yes I counted!), not including my author's notes, but I think it's a VERY necessary element to the story, and should be set off in its own chapter. You'll get what I mean once you've read it.

On the way to the Great Hall after class that night, Seamus pulled Daisy aside. It was just like that time before Divination: they waited until everyone had gone ahead, then he let go of her arm, reaching for her hand.

"Daisy?" Seamus' voice was hardly above a whisper. He turned his sparkling green eyes to look in Daisy's pale aqua ones.

"Yes?"

"From your side of things, how much truth was in what Professor Berlin said, about.." His voice trailed off.

"From my side?"

Seamus nodded.

Daisy continued. "A lot. Too much, probably."

Seamus grinned and said, "Good, then we feel the same about each other."

She returned his grin. "So, there was a lot of truth for your side too?"

"It was all truth. I love you, Daisy."

"I love you too, Seamus."

They kissed quickly, then went into the Great Hall for dinner.

See what I mean?
