They just seemed to click so well, and it wasn't awkward at all. It was actually really nice, knowing she had Levi to count on, as a friend, or possibly as something more.
The Slytherin re-adjusted the bag on her shoulder. It was pretty light, since there was only a few things in there. A couple of books, and the comic Levi lent her. Samira was pleasantly surprised to find out how much she enjoyed it. Who would have thought Muggle comic books could be so entertaining? Also in her bag was a carefully wrapped Christmas present for Levi. It was kind of late, but she didn't think the Gryffindor would mind. She bought him a muggle book on cars, which her uncle sent in for her on her request. And a bat-house for Vlad, so he could always be comfortable.
As she rounded the corner, Samira's stomach filled with butterflies as she caught sight of the Gryffindor. Samira paused for a split second to adjust her cloths, make sure her hair wasn't frizzy, or anything like that. Okay, she was good. She moved a little slower this time, so she was closer to Levi. The Slytherin cleared her throat and gave a genuine smile. "Hey stranger," she said. "Long time no see."
Levi waited, staring down at his feet for a moment and then back up at the wall. There was nothing particularly interesting going on today but he had been anticipating this moment for a while now. He wanted to make sure he would screw up and say the wrong thing. He had already caused one friendship to crash and burn by making assumptions and not thinking things all the way through. He was not going to let that happen again. He'd be dead before he made an idiot out of himself again. He had to keep that nonchalant barrier up. He could totally do this.
Levi took a deep breath through his nose, listening closely for some footsteps. His guess was confirmed; she was just around the corner and he quickly checked his breath in his palm to make sure it didn't reek. Nope, it was just fine. He knew he had made the right decision not to eat those spicy chips during class. He didn't want to ward the Slytherin girl away when he opened his mouth. He still wished he had brought some water, though. He was getting a little thirsty.
When Samira made her way towards him, his throat became drier. She looked fantastic as always and that cute smile of hers made his heart do a couple back-flips along with his stomach. The time they had been away from each other seemed even longer than it had been and he lifted a hand in greeting, smiling back. "Didn't think you'd recognize me," he said jokingly. "How are you doing? Oh, I got you something for Christmas by the way. I hope you like it..." He produced the wrapped up book from his robes and handed it to the girl. |
