Best friends. That's what we were. Friends do anything for each other, right? So, when Ginny dumped me, who better to turn to then my best pal Seamus? He bought me some sweets at Honeydukes and got me a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. But, I couldn't help but feel a little rise to my broomstick as I watched him drinking his butterbeer. The way his lips danced around the mouth, oh how I wished that the bottle was me. I tried to shake the thought out of my head and brought up the topic of racing brooms, but all I could think about what how much he made my broom race. I grinned as I thought about his reaction if I suddenly decided to, say, fly low. I laughed, perfectly timed as he told a joke, yet I was happy he had no idea why I was laughing. He was laughing, too, and I couldn't stop thinking about how cute he was, especially compared to Ginny. Then, he said something that completely threw me off: "This was really fun. We should do this again."
I hoped I wasn't blushing as I grinned at him and nodded. "Thanks so much," I said, standing up.
"Ready to go back to the castle?" he asked me, standing up too and coming close to me.
I nodded, almost reaching out my hand to hold his, but quickly pulled it away when I realized what I was doing. But, unless I was imagining it, he brushed my hand with his before I did that.
I caught his eye briefly, and spotted a wink. I could feel myself blushing then, jamming my hands in my pockets and stepping forward.
Seamus pushed in our chairs in and opened the door, letting me through and closing it behind me.
