"Yes... cute.. you did look cute Saturday by the way." she winked and then he was walking again. She shook her head a little behind him smiling and caught up with him to be beside him again. She thought for a moment to grab his hand to hold it, but she was fearful of it. She didn't know why, it wasn't the big of a deal to hold someones hand was it. She was usually so confident in things, but around him it was all butterflies.

"Yes it is big, it always surprises me when people say how far they travel to get to the other end of countries here." but then again for a person who never did muggle things, she didn't know if Ethan ever had to wait long to reach a place. Then his hands were on her hat, she blushed and giggled. "Well I'm glad, because I have a ton of them in my trunk. I have a fun badger one that I am hoping to wear at the next match." She giggled again and bit her lip looking into his green eyes. Oh he is just so cute and then that wink. Min felt the urge to just lean in and kiss his cheek or something, but...he was walking again. A small quiet sigh she walked with him smiling. This was fun, really fun..

Oh he stepped closer.. No she was very nervous to talk. As she explained she watched his reactions.. Oh this wasn't good, she should have kept her mouth shut. She heard the way it sounded coming out of her mouth and she just wanted to pull it back in.. No...no that isn't how I wanted to say it, she thought. "Yes..She did say that.." She looked up at him with puppy eyes, showing how hurtful it was to her. "I know she doesn't like me, but did she have to go that far." Kicking the ground a little, she felt the irritation come back. Then he said the words that bugged her the most. Stepping closer and giving a small smile she shook her head, "No..No.. It wasn't the only reason. I always think about it when your around, but I just don't usually have the nerve to do it.. not first anyway, let's just say she gave me the nerve I needed." She looked up at him trying to read his reaction to her words.

The boy looked up as Minerva moved closer. Listening to her words, he gave her a playful smirk. "You always think about it?" he began, stepping even closer. "Like.. right now?" He raised an eyebrow and his smirk turned into a grin, before he chuckled a bit and started walking again. Teasing a little, maybe.. but the anticipation made it even more fun.

"I think you freaked Mick out a little bit," he added, turning towards her a little. He chuckled a bit thinking how shocked they both were, maybe his friend a little more so. Ethan stopped and faced her fully, a tentative smile playing on his lips. "So.. I have something for you," he started pulling the small box from his cloak pocket.

She hung on every word he said and every look he gave. Her heart raced waiting to see what he was going to say next about it.

Then he moved closer, that was a good sign right? Then there was that look she couldn't help but give a small smile to it. Wow were the butterflies going quickly in her stomach at the moment. Her cheeks blushed as he asked her about the kissing thoughts, she bit her lip and shook her head yes. Of course she did, who wouldn't around him. Then again an obvious answer to the next question, but she wasn't giving it up that easy.. "I might be..." of course she was thinking about it. He was right there in front of her.. What else could she think about.Then he was walking again, she looked for a second dumbfounded.. Was she reading him wrong? She wasn't sure, but started walking to keep up with him.

"Oh was that the boy you were with? I bet he thought I was weird or something." She chuckled a bit at the though. It really wasn't that big of a deal a girl coming over kissing a boy, right? Well maybe it was to Ethan's friend. If she ever met the boy she would have to apologize for any awkwardness she might have caused. Well now he was looking at her again and her heart sped up. A small shocked look crossed her face, "You have something for me?" She watched his hand pull something out of his coat..

Seeing his grin she tried not to smile, but a smirk stayed on her face. Crossing her arms she tried to sound serious, but it came out more playful then serious, "Ethan McCarthy, I get the feeling you enjoyed that surprise kiss...hmmm" She couldn't help but smirk and giggle a bit at this. So did he like when she was spontaneous and maybe made a move first..

Looking at the box she was so surprised and a bit excited as to what it might be. "Ethan, you didn't have to get me anything, we aren't even dating, yet, really.." right, not officially at least. Then she put on a pouting face "I didn't get you anything.." She did think about it, but was afraid of scaring him off or something. Listening to his words about Qudditch and then opening it she smiled, "Aww I love it.. Of course I will wear it when we go cheer them on." Smiling big she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug, then kissed his cheek. "Thank you, it was very sweet of you to do this." Taking the bracelet she placed it on her wrist, "Perfect fit"

It probably would be awkward, but maybe if he tried to explain things to Mick beforehand it wouldn't be so weird. He raised an eyebrow at her expression and smirked at her next words. "Well.. maybe I did.." he drawled and gave her a little wink. Of course, she had to know he enjoyed it.. She felt him kiss her back, right?

His smile grew a bit at her excitement over the box. She seemed surprised, really, and he was somewhat pleased by that. Not really dating yet.. ? Right, about that.. Ethan took a deep breath before saying, "Well, like I said, it's not a big deal.. just wanted you to have something.." Ok, that sounded a bit awkward.. and maybe not exactly how he meant it to come out. He shook his head and smiled. "You didn't need to get me anything." The boy certainly wasn't expecting anything anyway, and would probably be surprised if she had gotten him something.

Smiling down at her as she seemed to like his gift, he snaked an arm around her waist as she embraced him, his smile growing wider as she kissed his cheek. He let his arm linger around the girl for a moment as she pulled back. "You're welcome," he said brightly as he took his arm away and lifted her hand with his. "Looks great on you," he said as he examined the bracelet on her wrist. Ethan slid his hand down and entwined his fingers with hers. As much as he enjoyed the playful banter earlier, his tone grew a little more serious as he looked into her face. "I really enjoy spending time with you, Min.."

That in it's self was enough to make her happy just knowing it was for just her, but then he sang this song and it was absolutely perfect, and for once she actually didnt cry when he sang to her she just had this big stupid smile on her face as she just listened to it ad him harmonize with his guitar. When he was finished with the song she just looked at him as if he were the most adorable thing in the world with that goody smile on her face.

Bliss had been stuck inside for most of the day and had decided it was time to escape and do something. So she'd gotten her guitar and come outside. If anything calmed her down, it was playing and singing.

It was heaven. Honestly.

After Bliss had found a secluded spot, she sat down on the grass. It was a quiet spot, just to the side of the path. Out of the way. Now she could sing and not be an annoyance to anyway. Bliss thought about what she was going to sing for a second. She would never sing this in front of anyone, cos it'd probably give off the wrong impression. Nobody knew who she liked. She decided on a song and began to sing quietly at first, but her voice grew in confidence. Her voice rang out, beautiful and soft.

Your hand fits in mine,
Like it's made just for me,
But bear this in mind,
It was meant to be,
And I'm joining up the dots,
With the freckles on your cheeks,
And it all makes sense to me..

She had to win that days, one, she proved a point and made Elliot storm out, and two, she got to kiss Ethan. Then her smirk grew as he said he maybe he liked her coming over and kissing him. She got very close to him looking him in the eyes and seeming as she might kiss him again. When she got very close she smiled, "I bet you like it.." Winking she moved back a bit, it was her time to play a bit.

Minerva looked at the bracelet as the sun hit it just right and she smiled, "Well it is very nice of you. I can't wait to get to wear it to a match." She liked when he put his arms around her, it felt nice to have him hug her. Then she watched as he entwined his fingers with hers and she couldn't help but give a huge smile. This was a great way to spend the day and she couldn't imagine anything better at that moment. Minerva looked at his green eyes as he seemed to talk more serious and she smiled, "I really enjoy spending time with you too Ethan." She really had enjoyed the last month or so getting to know him and seeing him. "I have to say you have made it easier to go to classes, since I know I will get to see you."

He gave her a mock pout before chuckling a bit as a the beginnings of a grin threatened to appear. Her turn to play.. and the energy between them made his heart race a bit. But would this kind of fun flirting stop if they started to date seriously? He hoped not..

Ethan looked down at their entwined hands and glanced up with a small smile as Minnie spoke. She pretty much consumed his thoughts lately and the more he was around her, the more he got to know her.. the more he couldn't stop thinking about her. But the boy had to chuckle at her last words. "Easier? I thought I was a distraction in class?" He gave her a smirk before before glancing down again. When he looked back into her blue eyes, the boy gave her a tentative smile. "Minnie, I.. I need to ask you something."

She grinned not knowing if she would throw him with that comment or not. She laughed and bent down picking up some snow and tossing it towards him. She laughed not sure how we would like snow thrown at him.

Minerva smiled at his question.. "Well you do distract me, but I don't mind the distraction and I look forward to classes, even Runes one I do not like to attend, just because I know you will be there and well..." she blushed a bit, "I know I get to see you." She squeezed his hand a bit and then looked at him very curiously.. "Okay, you can ask me anything Ethan.." What could he want to ask her she wondered..

No, he certainly didn't flirt like this with anyone else.. at least not now. Though the mention of crushes brought up a thought that he quickly pushed to the back of his mind. He really was having too much fun to be thinking of anything else, and he gave her a pretend shocked expression when a handful of snow hit him square in the chest. "Oh, two can play at that game," the boy said as he reached down and tossed his own handful of snow Minnie's way, laughing and ducking a little as he expected retaliation.

Ethan gave Minnie a genuine smile at her words. How was it that she could be so incredibly sweet? And so daring and exciting in the next moment, but yet at the same time? She was it for him and he knew it.. so why was it so hard for him to find the words to say it? Flirting came easier for the boy, but the serious bit was a little harder for him.. He looked down at their hands for a moment as she squeezed his, then looked back into her face and took a deep breath. "Okay.. well, I know that we said we'd take things slow.. but I was just wondering.. if maybe you'd want us to be more.. exclusive?" Green eyes searched her blue eyes as he waited for her to respond.
