His eyes widened when she mentioned the beach. He didn't know she lived by one! And then she mentioned running into him at one... He just stared at her completely serious when she asked he asked if he was going to sleep on the beach. "I wish. But nah, my mom wouldn't allow that." He half-smiled. He could imagine what his mom would do if he didn't come home one night... she would flip out.
"Oh my GOSH you're coming to FLORIDA?!" he exclaimed, almost standing up until he remembered he was sitting at a table. "You HAVE to visit me, okay Satine? Come to Miami. PROMISE." He looked at her with wide eyes. She had no choice but to promise to visit him.
And... what? "Fr... France?" His jaw dropped and his excitement faded in a blink of an eye. France... was where Aimée was from, right? And that was... not Hogwarts. "A year." He repeated blankly. "So... you're not... coming back." He'd heard wrong, of course.
Satine giggled a little bit at his excitement about her visiting Florida, "
Well, yes, my aunt, Iridesca, has a beach house there and we try to go each summer for a few weeks." she looked at him and raised her right hand into an oath, "
I promise that I will come visit you in Miami. I think that would be a blast! And you must must must teach me how to surf better. "
She put her face down towards the ground a little bit as he talked about the next part of their conversation. "
Yes France....I'm very excited, but...." she let her last words fade off,
"and it's a great opportunity for me, but...." and this was the hardest part but she did have to think about her future and everything....there was life after Hogwarts...right?...she looked up at him and met his eyes just for a second and then looked back down twirling a piece of purple hair in her fingers. "
the bad part is that I'm not coming back my seventh year....but I just couldn't pass down this..." she said the last part quickly almost trying to convince herself more than him....okay Satine just say it....
"And the other bad part is that I won't be able to run into you randomly...which always makes me smile..." she said finally meeting his eyes. She let her hands come up out of her lap and touch his hands gently.
