"What was that about? At breakfast I mean." Sue and Avia were addressing me.
"Danny's smile slid right off his face when Liam kissed you." Avia answered.
I had no idea what they were talking about.
"Well, I was facing Liam so I don't really know what happened. Els said something or other about Danny getting up in a rush and saying he had some work to catch up on. I didn't really get the whole story." I said hurrying to my next class.
"Well, Danny looked like he'd swallowed a lemon when you told Liam to kiss you and then when Liam did it he got all angry and left in a rush." Sue said in one breath catching up with me.
"I think you're imagination's running wild again Sue." I said laughing.
Sue just hmphed in reply. I felt someone tapping my back and it turned out to be Liam.
"Hey," I said turning around.
"Umm Mini, is Danny mad at me?" Liam asked worriedly.
"What would give you that idea?"
"Well, he's been avoiding me since breakfast." Liam replied.
"Oh he's just a jealous twerp; don't let him get to you." I said engulfing Liam in a small hug.
"Ok, if you say so." Liam replied returning the hug.
I finally reached the classroom, and thankfully the bells hadn't rung. I chose the seat next to Els.
"Hey," I whispered to her.
"Mini you're so idiotic, I just saw you five minutes ago. Why the heck are you saying hey to me again?" She said laughing.
"Umm, I don't know." I admitted giggling slightly.
I pulled my books out from my bag and opened to the page on the board. While reading, (or falling half asleep) I felt someone tapping me impatiently on the back. I moved slightly and saw a note on my lap. Bending slightly I picked it up and opened it. It read.
"Are you and Liam going out?"
It was written in Danny's handwriting. I turned and saw Danny engrossed in his book. Quickly I returned to the note, and began scribbling fast.
"Of course not, what would give you that idea? It was a silly dare. We do that all the time, you know that, no need to get all worked up." I folded it up and sent it to Danny with a little enchantment spell. He must've received it and read it fast, because just a few moments later I got the reply.
"Ok. Well thanks then." Chuckling slightly I slipped the note into the pocket of my robe and continued my reading. Thankfully the bell rang. I managed to stay awake during class and I slipped the book back into my bag. Grabbing Els's wrist I dragged her out of the door. She was still engrossed in her mini electronic game. Dragging her down the halls, I finally reached potions. Els and I slid into our seats at a table. Liam and Marin were already there. Snape walked in and extravagantly waved his wand. Some potion directions appeared on the board and we began preparing the ingredients. Liam was chopping herbs, Marin was reading the directions, Els was helping Liam and I was pouring things into the cauldron. Els wanted to switch with me and we switched, placing me next to Liam. I was having trouble chopping my herbs and Liam noticed. Laughing he placed his graceful hand over my own and guided it.
"You're such a clumsy dame." He said chuckling.
I could feel his warm breath brushing against my cheek. I quickly turned to see if Snape was looking and turned to give Liam a small peck on the cheek. Unfortunately his head had turned slightly and it ended up as a peck on the lips. He smelled of mint leaves, and the kiss seemed to last for a little longer than a minute. I felt the swish of a cloak and looked up to see Snape's large nose above my head.
"Ms. Bishop, if you wish to display public views of your relationship with Liam, please be kind enough to do it outside of my classroom."
Liam and I blushed, our faces turning red.
"Sorry Professor Snape." We both mumbled quietly.
I returned to the job of pouring ingredients into the pot, and our table was silent. Until the end of the class that is. We left and as we reached the outside, I turned to Liam.
"I was returning the favour, except you umm, turned your head. It was meant to be a peck on the cheek, you know as a payback for this morning." I said in a rush.
"It's ok," Liam said smiling. He turned towards me and planted a kiss right smack on my mouth.
Stunned, I pulled away, and asked, "What was that about?"
"That was payback for the kiss in Snape's classroom." He said matter-of-factly.
I smiled, but I failed to notice Danny trailing behind anger rising in his face. I walked the rest of the way our elbows looped together.
(I know this chapter is short, but I promise to get another one up very soon. Please review.)
