COULD THE WORLD BE ANY MORE PERFECT RIGHT NOW!?
Insert another "Is this the real life?!" expression on Braeden's face here.
It… it… it was so beautiful! His fiery redheaded Lioness was singing along to one of his favourite songs in her banshee-like singing voice, and… and… he just couldn't be prouder!
Grinning lopsidedly to himself like the big doof he was, Braeden watched admiringly as the girl continued singing, and it wasn't long before he was joining in, singing along with her in his own not-so-very-ear-drum-friendly singing voice.
And next thing the Gryffindork knew, his feet had left the floors of the Great Hall and were now instead on the table, kicking the plate he'd filled with food earlier aside (oops, there goes a first year's face) as he moved clumsily on the table, arms up in the air as he continued to sing dramatically (most Morrissey-like), "Oh yes, you can kick me… and you can punch me, and you can break my face, but you won't change the way I feeeeeeeel…" It was almost like he was singing to the girl, which was rather ironic seeing as the lyrics of the song were so freakishly accurate when it came to describing Braeby's abnormal friendship.
While still grinning most un-Ruby-esque-ly, the lioness gazed in wonder at Brae as he sang the next few lines of the song. And then the words of the song hit her--how
perfect the seemed, how...
ironic! It described everything about their relationship, right down to the punching and the kicking. Watching Brae try to sing whilst balancing himself on the table after having a few butterbeers was quite a sight indeed. Add Ruby into the picture and you've got yourself a '
RUBY GOT DEM APPLE BOTTOM JEANS,
BOOTS WIT DA FURRRR
GOT DA WHOLE GREAT HALL LOOKIN' AT HURRR
SHE HIT DA FLO,
NEXT THING CHU KNOW,
SHAWTY GOT
LOW, LOW, LOW, LOW!' concert, right at Hogwarts. Yep, what a sight!
"And is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so, really so strange?" Ruby sang, more to Brae than anyone else.
Hiccup.
And then the craziest thing happened. Feeling
so fly, like a G6 quite elated, Ruby gazed at her lion friend. She really didn't want to leave Hogwarts like this. Nor did she want to leave Brae, or Curly or Alfie or even Emma. Without even thinking, the redhead closed the space between them in one step, and took Brae's 'stached face in her hands. And then, if you'll believe it, Ruby Abigail Blair kissed Braeden Stonem on the lips in front of the whole school.
...
WAIT. WHAT?!

HOLY MAIDS OF MERLIN.
