Here's a tinsey little post!
I happily got through the rest of my day (the potions incident was erased from my head). Since I was to meet Remus in the Room of Requirement around the same time as dinner, I didn’t even bother to go with Emily and Lily to the Great Hall.
I quickly changed out of my robe and into something a little more comfortable. I then met Remus by the entrance to the Room of Requirement.
He smiled when he saw me. “You look nice.” he said.
“Thanks.” I responded, “So why am I here?”
He chuckled, then said “Why don’t you find out.”
I walked into the Room of Requirement.
“Oh my gosh…”
“You like it?” he asked
I stared around at the low-lit room. A roaring fire was in the fireplace on the far wall, and in front of that was a couple of bean bag cushions. A basket was seen next to them, as were a couple of blankets.
“I love it.” I muttered.
“Good.” he guided me over to the cushions.
“Chicken.” I laughed, peering into the basket.
He sat down next to me. “It’s your favorite, right?”
“Yeah.” I found a plate, then pulled out the chicken leg.
After about ten minutes, I pushed the empty basket away and I moved my bean bag closer next to him. He threw one of the blankets over us as I leaned against his side.
“Thanks Remus, for everything.” I said to him.
He put his arm over my shoulders. “Of course,” he said.
I twirled a piece of red hair around my fingers and casually stared at the fire.
“I really like you Seneca.” he said quietly.
I stopped and arched my neck to look up at him. He was looking away, at the mantle above the fireplace. The fire bounced off his eyes, as they remained still.
“I mean… I think I may even
love you, Seneca.”
After a moment his eyes flicked over to me, where he caught me staring at him.
“I think I love you too.” I muttered before I could even stop myself.
I think I'll just leave it at that.
