*silence*
"You know Mia, we may not be awesome Tri-Wizard Champions killin' Cockatoos for breakfast" and technically neither was the Durmstranger ".... but I dont think you're seeing the simple fact that there are just as awesome guys at the very end of your nose. "
Then she said that she was meeting him again sometime Christmas. He turned his back on her and gripped the balustrade, staring hard at the other students making their way up the stairs. He felt like he couldnt breathe. It was worse than being dragged under icy waters and drowning...
He wanted to tell Mia so much, and at the same time, nothing at all. He wanted to put up a fight and make her see that he could be a guy just as good as Nik...
... except that he deep down he knew he would never be as good as Nik.
The South Pole proved that.
Just then another owl swooped in, landing beside him on the balustrade. It nodded its head a few times waving the letter in its beak. It was addressed to him, in a graceful scrawl that he recognized instantly.
Danika!
He swiped the letter from the owl and, turning to face Mia, hid it behind his back quickly. Only then did he realize that the Christmas meeting with Nik was still up in the air.
"You're meeting him again? At Christmas? In Russia?" he repeated. He wanted to tell her not to go. But then again he felt like he really had to go.
"Well, happy trip!" he said begrudgingly, but forced himself to smile, even took her hand and shook it quickly. "I'mLateForPotionsIllSeeYouAround" he rattled off before climbing UP the stairs two at a time, rounded and corner and vanished.
The silence seemed to go on forever and for some reason Mia felt bad for acting all smug like. She opened her mouth to say something but Sal cut in. What in Merlin's name did that mean. Nik hadn't even made it to the third task. And she was just about say so when Sal continued on.
Mia took a step back from Sal and stared at him open mouthed. The light had finally gone off in her head and she now knew why the boy was being so mean about Nik.
There were so many things that she wanted to say as well but he now had his back to her and well the words were kind of stuck in her throat. If he had liked her so much, why didn't he say something? Ever since they shared a couple of kisses in Diagon Alley, Mia had not seen much of Sal during the Hogwarts term. And when she did, he was usually with a girl or ogling one of the female staff members.
She figured that she had just been another girl for him to snog. Back then Mia was used to guys being like that with her. They never wanted to hang around for anything serious with her and so she had adopted the same attitude. Until Nik came along.
Mia barely noticed the owl, she was too busy focused on Sal's back wishing he would turn around and say something or so that she could say something. When he did, he again asked her about going to Russia. She nodded her head. "Yes." She whispered.
Then he was shaking her hand and trying to be happy for her when she knew that he wasn't. "Sal..." She began but could get no more out before he had run off leaving her standing there, staring at his retreating back and tears slowly falling down her cheeks.
She had just lost her friend because she was in love with someone else. She couldn't stop her feelings and Sal really shouldn't expect her to. Mia knew there were great guys at here at Hogwarts but they didn't make her feel the way that Nik did.
SPOILER!!: Matty

"Woah!"
*Backing to the wall Matty stayed back not sure if he should intervene.*
Mia heard someone's voice and she looked through her tears to see Matty pressed up against the wall. "Suppose you heard all that?" A little sob escaped her lips and she held the letter from Nik to her chest. That little piece of paper with her boyfriend's handwriting was the only thing that was stopping her from breaking down completely.
