Fern could be patient. He would miss her eventually. Oh yes.
Starting to scoot through, the first year stopped when she heard her fellow Hufflepuff speak. What was that!? She was right!? OF COURSE SHE WAS RIGHT.
Fern didn't turn around. She waited for the apology. The full apology, with at least 3 'sorry's' and maybe some groveling too. Scratch that. DEFINITELY some groveling. Forrest had called her a jerk.
But the full apology didn't come. Something MUCH BETTER did!
Letting out a delighted squeal, Fern quickly crawled backwards out into the hall and jumped up. All was forgiven, and she reached for Forrest's hands, not even waiting for him to take them before she started hopping up and down. "ForREST! Forrest, is Bristol finally your girlfriend! Oh, I'm SO happy for you! How did you ask her!? Have you kissed, yet!? Tell me all about it! All of the details!" Fern giggled, her freckled cheeks bright pink, "This is sooooo romantic!!"
She would come. Forrest knew her. She wouldn't be able to resist the magical words. She would--
YES!
YESYESYES!
Although he had been SURE of it, it was still such a stress and he realised just how much he had been worrying about it once she crawled backwards and his knees felt like jello. He let her take his hands and do some hopping. Well, HE was expecting an apology too since it was HER who used the word 'jerk' but he didn't bring it up. Right now, he needed--
Bristol?
His GRINNING and RELAXED face fell and he pulled his hands to wave negatively to empasise his denying.
"No, not her!" Heck, he didn't even
see her since the Hogsmeade almost-fiasco. Though he doubted she heard him over her shouting and nonsense.
"It's actually Ella." He looked dreamy for a moment before collecting himself.
"You should help me with Ella." Y'know, the only perfect girl in the world?
