Which was impossible for the Gryffindor these days.
Entering this part of the Owlery, Kurumi scanned the rows of perched owls hoping to spot his owl here...but no such luck. She should have known that she wouldn't, but its absence still brought a deep frown to her face and her eyes to slightly water. It was all happening again, just like with Adam. No matter how many letters she wrote...none of them came back. If he really wanted to write her, he would have found a way, wouldn't he? It hurt her. A lot. She had never felt this sort of pain in her heart before and at times she felt as though it were literally breaking into bits and pieces. She needed him so much right now...
Walking forward a bit more, Kurumi was too distracted by all these thoughts to see where she was going and ended up bumping into someone as she made her way towards the exit. "S-S-S-Sorry," she said quickly with a polite bow. "Oh, Lewis...hi!" Her expression noticeably lightened and the corners of her lips even curled up into a slight smile. Dear Valerie, Yes that sounded like a good start. Only what now? He should probably apologize for taking so long to reply to her last letter. Not that she would be mad. She'd understand if he told her that he'd been just too busy with school and Quidditch to write. Especially Quidditch. She'd probably forgive him for ANYTHING since he'd started playing Quidditch.
Only the problem was that these things were only a yes, considerably large part of the reason he hadn't written her sooner. There was something else too, though. Something he had felt he couldn't not mention but didn't really want to write in a letter. Which was also the reason his quill just still hovered a few inches above the parchment and the only thing he'd written so far was Dear Valerie.
Completely lost in his own thoughts, Lewis didn't notice that he wasn't alone in the Owlery anymore until that somebody literally bumped into him. "No, I'm so...rry." He trailed off upon noticing WHO it was who had bumped into him. Kurumi. And while it felt like his heart made a little YAY-sort dance in his chest, the words oh no immediately came to his mind. "H-hi." This was not good. Or was it? She was smiling. So maybe it was all good after all.
So smiling back sounded like a good idea, right? Right. |
