Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁ Hermy had spotted a certain someone whilst wandering round the grounds, and had run back up to the dormitory especially to get something. All those stairs were not funny, and she hoped that her hot red face had cooled slightly.
The thing she had returned for was under one arm due to its rather large size, slightly impractical to display at Hogwarts, it had to be admitted. But it was the only canvas Hermy could get that was larger than her normal sketchbook, and she had wanted her work to look more than just a sketch. It was more than sketch - her heart and soul were entwined in the colours and layers of paint, hours spent on perfecting the detail with the finest brush she had. It had taken hours of work, but she had relished working on it - she hoped he would find it as special as she had felt painting it.
Hermy watched Marco write thoughfully, and guessed it must be something Quidditch related. She doubted that pile of parchment was for homework so early in the term - especially since there were no books nearby. Not wanting to disturb his thoughts, she sat down quietly beside him, carefully laying the wrapped canvas on the ground.
She slid an arm round his waist, and put her head on his shoulder, hugging him gently. She could like this for as long as it took for him to finish - she just loved being there with him.
