 Jimbo will set his turtle loose on you. { The Farley } "That's trademarked, don't use it."
Jimbo wanted to punch him.
He rose from his seat. His anger was spiralling out of control and he knew that if he stayed a second longer nothing would stop him from decking the Quidditch Captain.
He really felt like he just had the floor ripped out from under him. He never saw this coming and he felt sick because he knew that he should have. It must have been obvious, after all.
Monty was ignoring him and that's what hurt most of all. He was used to having her think he was childish, but this was something else altogether. He was now apparently being too immature to acknowledge.
But then quite suddenly, as his anger grew he found himself wanting to yell at her, to grab her and force her to pay attention. Didn't she understand? She is his everything.
He was more than hurt, he was truly and irreversebly destroyed.
Happy. Happy with Aaron Anderson. The Slytherin Quidditch Captain. Iris Beaumont, Head Girl and Aaron Anderson, Quidditch Captain.
And what was he? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Iris Beaumont didn't care for him. It was and always will be all about Aaron Anderson.
Anderson, who was now looking at him with a furiously calm expression. Anderson, who was asking him what he was going to do about all this. Daring him, challenging him.
Jimbo glared as his anger peaked. He should have left right away. He shouldn't have allowed himself to get so worked up. But there it was. Maybe his way of dealing wasn't very good but he loves Iris Beaumont and if it weren't for Aaron Anderson, Jimbo knew he would have been the one that she was about to marry.
And so, Jimbo Farley punched Aaron Anderson.
With all his anger, sadness and regret, he punched the Quidditch Captain.
It should have felt amazing. It should have made him feel better, but he didn't have space for happiness within his utter depression.
His fist was bleeding. And Anderson's face must have been too.
Jimbo didn't realize when his eyes began watering. He stared at Anderson's fiance with a cold expression, betrayed only by his red eyes.
"Forget you, Iris Beaumont."
Leaving everything destroyed behind him, he left the Great Hall.
