Atlantis
"Even the Muggles know that that is a load of codswallop!"
"Who says? Just because it hasn't been found, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I mean –"
"You're an idiot, Lee Jordan."
"Compliment accepted."
At that smug reply, Katie Bell closed her heavy book and looked up to glare at the boy sitting opposite her. She was just about fed up with him and his antics. "Anyone with a brain knows that the myth of Atlantis was made up by a witch year ago when she went missing for a year. Rather than admitting to her stupidity for getting lost, she told the story of how she'd spent her time in a city that was then covered by ocean. Then everyone was stupid enough to believe her."
Lee's only response was to shrug, which infuriated Katie.
"Give up, Jordan."
"All I'm saying is just because it hasn't been discovered, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Open your mind, Katie."
"I'd say the same to you, but I know you don't have much between the ears."
"That hurts."
"It was supposed to."
"It hurts coming from you."
Katie's glare deepened.
"Say, Katie, why don't we continue this conversation in Hogsmeade tomorrow?"
"I'd rather not."
"No, I mean, over a coffee or something."
"What do you mean?"
Slamming his own book shut, Lee had to try really hard to not ask who the stupid one was now. Instead, keeping his cool, he said, "I mean, we should go on a date."
