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.

Now that Samira was with Levi again, she felt so much more relaxed. The Gryffindor just had that kind of aura. The kind that makes people want to be around him, and just feel happy and safe. Or maybe that's just how Samira felt around him. Either way, she felt her nervousness melting in the familiar presence of the other boy.
Another fact Samira was grateful for was the fact that she knew she could just be herself around Levi. He would never judge her, Samira knew that. Luckily, Samira didn't need to act "flirty", or "cute" like some girls did to get a guy to notice them. No fake giggling, no misleading body language...this was all real. "I'm doing great, thanks," the Slytherin replied honestly. Samira's bright eyes widened in surprise and happiness when Levi pulled out her Christmas present. She was sure she'd love it, no matter what it was. "Great minds think alike," grinned Samira as she pulled out her own gift and handed it to him. "Merry Christmas, Lev."
Nika was running late. She had over slept and breakfast took a long time because she might have talking to a
few friends. The two might have already shown up without her. How was she supposed to put her genius plan into action if they were already there!? She ran around until she finally made it to the first corridor. She took a few deep breaths as she scanned it and noticed.... They were there.
She quickly hid behind a corner and looked around at them. Aw. They were hitting it off great! Should Nika go and interfere? No... She'd just stick around the corner until the conversation got awkward or something. Then she'd pop in to say a quick hello then make some absurd excuse and leave them together again. She peeked around the corner again and listened in on their little conversation. It was like one of those romance movies where the guy and girl are just friends then slowly fall in love. But it's so booooorrring when it's slow! The two were perfect for each other!
She didn't want to push her friend though so she didn't jump out and tell them "to kiss already" like she wanted to. She just wanted to make things go faster. The two deserved each other. Nika's intentions for helping them all get together wasn't ever for just "hanging out". No, it would just make her look like a third wheel. It was better that Nika wasn't seen yet.
Oh no...
She felt a sneeze coming. Not good. Don't sneeze Nika, don't sneeze. She put a finger under her nose and let out a soft sigh of relief when she didn't sneeze--
"ACHOOO!" Never mind. That was possibly the loudest sneeze Nika has ever made. She almost fell over because of it's force. There was a small flash of pink-ish, red-ish hair when she suddenly realized that she went forward a bit too much. Thank Merlin it was only for a second. Someone could have seen her. Hopefully the two wouldn't notice the sneeze,
please don't notice the sneeze...
