v. wrath
He can't help but get angry, once Cho has left.
"Jesus fucking Christ, man, that girl fancies you!" Tony says, wondrously.
"Yeah. I know."
Terry Boot, sitting on his other side, smirks. "You don't sound very happy."
"I wonder why," he says sarcastically, as Tony smirks,
"Yeah, that's 'cause he's in love with Marietta Edgecombe!"
"Not in love," he corrects, unable to suppress a smile. It quickly slips off his face as he catches sight of a blushing Cho waggling her fingers at him at the entrance. He turns red and waves back, a fake smile pasted on his face. "It's just, she's so clingy. We already gave us a chance. I don't want to again. She won't ask me out?"
Terry and Tony shared a look. "If she does, tell her you've got your eye on a Muggle. That always scares girls away," Terry advised, sending all three laughing.
And Michael pushes his wrath away for another day, another time, when Cho is gone and he can wallow all on his own.
