Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I got caught up in other things…so ya know. Okay so here is the next chapter! Sorry if I'm a little rusty, I haven't written in a while.
Of Confessions and Windows
I followed Seamus out a window into the castle grounds. We walked down to the tree that we were sitting at the other day. He sat down and patted a patch of grass, indicating that he wants me to sit, too.
"I'm really sorry about what Lavender and Parvati said to you." He said, "I'll have a talk with them later."
"No, it's okay. Don't waste your breath with girls like those." I said, playing with a dandelion.
"They really are nice girls…I don't know what got into them." Seamus said, shrugging. "Maybe they're jealous of you." With that I let out a little laugh.
"Why would they be jealous of me?"
"Well, maybe it's because you're really pretty, and smart, and you're not afraid to be different." He said.
"What do you mean I'm not afraid to be different?" I asked. He had a serious look on his face.
"It's something that I was talking to Hermione about the other day. People act how they think they should act. Not how they want to act. All hufflepuffs aren't spacey, All Gryffindors aren't brave, all Slytherins aren't mean, and all Ravencalws aren't geniuses. You're one of the few people that can see through all this…crap. It's like you're above it."
"I'm just like everyone else…" I said. He grabbed my hand and smiled.
"Not to me. I really like you. I admire you." I felt my heart start to race. I wanted to tell him that I liked him back, but something inside of me told me not to…but another thing inside of me said to go for it.
"I really like you, too." I said, the now familiar blush sweeping across my face. "It's really nice having someone to talk to that doesn't spit insults at others every chance they get." He laughed. I could feel myself moving closer to him. He smelt like shampoo and the antidote we made in Potions.
He reached out and pulled my long, dark hair out of my face. "If someone caught us we'd be in such big trouble." He whispered.
"I know…" I whispered back. I leaned in and kissed him, just lightly enough so that It was sweet and cute. Just like a first kiss with someone should be. We broke apart and he smiled at me, and then it hit me. Draco.
"Draco!" I said.
"what?" Seamus asked.
"What about Draco? He'll tell my parents if he found out…my dad'll kill me!" I said, shaking my head. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…"
"Shhh…calm down. We just won't tell anybody. Draco doesn't have to know, your friends don't have to know." He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "It'll be our little secret, okay?"
"Okay." I said. He pulled me up and we walked back to the castle. For a split second I thought I saw someone looking out of a window, but when I turned to look again, I didn't see anything. All I know is that I'm so happy to have Seamus.
Okay..so I know that kinda sucked. I told you I'm a little rusty! And I know it was short, too. R&R please!
