i. what curiosity did to the cat

He comes back to the dormitory, flopping on his bed with an unsettingly contented sigh.

“Anything interesting happen at the library?” you ask.

“She’s so perfect,” he breathes with a lovelorn sigh.

“Who?” He sighs a name.

You’re the only one unsurprised when he begins siting at the Ravenclaw table.

ii. when it’s a crowd

He’s reading by the fireplace, legs propped up against the table. You’re curled up by the floor, a thick book lying open in front of you.

“What does this mean? Oh.”

“Hi,” she says, a glaring blue amidst a sea of yellow.

“I’ll ask Ernie,” you mumble, closing your book.

iii. where there are plenty of fish

“It isn’t the end of the world,” you tell him, but he doesn’t stop sulking.

“She’s going to come back,” you say, but she doesn’t.

“You’ll find someone else,” you promise, and he does, one day in Hogsmeade, while you were buying sweets and he was brooding over a Butterbeer.

iv. what is better than sorry

“Up for a drink?”

“Sure,” you say, wondering what heartbreak happened where and with who.

You drink only light alcohol.

“Girly drinks,” he teases, and you roll his eyes while watching him down another Firewhisky.

You walk him home later that night. He stumbles and you grunt, muttering and cursing.

v. a half of loaf will do

You receive his invitation just before he calls.

“White? I don’t look good in white!” you whine, and he give you the pleading look you never learned to turn down.

“But it’s the theme and you’re going to be best man!”

“What?”

“Be my best man?”

“Am I?”

“Of course.”

This line knocked me dead:

You walk him home later that night. He stumbles and you grunt, muttering and cursing.

(I was fond of the entire fourth section, actually. :D)

Not my usual choice of pairing, but pretty and entertaining. I suspect this is because you wrote it.

This was an intersting, if not slightly depressing one-shot ^_^ I liked the pairing, something hardly ever read before. Cute and fun too. Nice job ^_^
