Lee Jordan prowled his flat. Stepping quietly he hushed his hair to do the same, quitting the swishing sound it had a tendency to make. He moved with awkward motions, bent over and legs splayed at odd angles so his jeans wouldn't make a swishing noise as well. He could've been a mouse, he mentally patted himself on the back.

Turning the corner from the hall to the den, there was no way the dark skinned woman on the couch could've heard him before he rushed over towards her. With a bright smile, a small roar, and a leap over the coffee table, he belly flopped on top of her like a pro.

"LEE JORDAN!"

"Angelina-Joelina," Lee murmured happily into her neck, his arms now clamped around her and ignoring the fact the corner of the book she had been reading was now digging mercilessly into his side, "I missed you."

"You went to the bathroom." The 20 year old said stated matter-of-factly.

"For a full 3.65 minutes."

"Oh woe oh woe," she said with a small laugh, squeezing her book out from beneath them--the opposite corner had been hitting her side effectively as well.

Lee opened his mouth to retort back but quickly closed it again and settled with nuzzling back into the crook of her neck. Angelina never fully got over the last stand at Hogwarts. It had racked everyone deeply, without a doubt, and the late tremors pained everyone. But Angelina….Angelina had always been a different story if you asked Lee. Or not--he would tell you anyway.

The dark girl's most prominent characteristic was her pride. Lee could say he was a Griffindor with full conviction, but when Angelina proclaimed it; it was like she fucking roared. No one doubted it.

And as a full-blood lion, Angelina still would not claim defeat in the light of victory. Together the unsteady couple, along with many others, lost the same redhead. The same one who cooed at tarantulas, smirked at the thought of a good prank, and cackled as his beater's bat connected with a well directed bludger.

You never really get over things like that, but Lee considered Angelina one of the lucky. She lost a good friend without a doubt. But her family; her parents, her brother, all were safe. Sitting at home and sipping tea at the moment. But the loss of Fred had racked her all the same. After all, they had gone out for a tad and even after had held a deep friendship.

Lee smirked slightly as he thought of how Fred would barge into their dorm, all agitated because he had sat through one of Ange's hour long rants of--namely--Lee. Fred almost hated him for that.

But then they would go sneak some butterbeers, Lee getting the redhead more tipsy than preferred and racked him with questions of Ange, and then everything was hunky dory.

"Hey River?"

"Hmm?" he murmured into her dark skin, quite content. "Que pasa?"

"Excuse me."

"It's French my dear."

Angelina laughed good heartedly, enjoying the feel of his breath, the steady rhythm it played against her. Nearly bliss.

"So Lee…?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you," she murmured as their tabby cat pounced onto the couch in the spot near her shoulder.

"What ever for?" he asked as they both started to fondly pet the tabby. Lee rubbing a knuckle behind it's ear and Angelina schooling her fingers to dance across it's ginger back.

"For not floating away."

He thought about scoffing at her pun of his Potterwatch name, but refrained. Instead he left a kiss behind her ear which she hummed a contented response to, while the tabby purred not unlike the dark skinned witch.
