"OK Jasmine, you need to focus", she thought to herself.
While Cris tried to find his words, Jasmine tried not to stare at him. She had not realized that he was still shaking holding her hand until he released it suddenly. Jasmine giggled and then thought, "Really Jasmine....giggling?". That was very unlike her. She was not a giggly kind of girl, but for some reason, she couldn't help herself.
Trying to make both of them feel more comfortable, she started to talk. "I like sunrises, but I love sunsets more. There's nothing like watching the sunset over the ocean. That's something I used to love to do......when I lived in California. I'm from there, but I transferred here from Beauxbatons because I moved, obviously".... Realizing that she was totally rambling, Jamine directed a question at Cris. "So where are you from Cris? "
When a local witch appeared out of nowhere and approached their group, Jasmine was momentarily startled. When the woman said the word Vipertooth, she had Jasmine's complete attention. It did not escape her notice that Cris had stepped in front of her, wand at the ready. Awww, was he protecting her? How gallant. Jasmine waited to hear what the Professors had to say. It appeared that this was going to be an interesting trip already
Alert and vigilant, Cris kept one eye on the Peruvian woman, while at the same time a ear out for any monstrous sounds of a dragon approaching them. As for his other eye and ear, they were attuned to what Jasmine was saying to him.
....well he was a multi-tasker....
Jasmine was giggling. Was there something on his nose? Cris raised his hand to comb it through his hair and as he lowered it, surreptitiously wiped his nose. Okay nose was now clean.
He nodded in agreement. "
Oh yes I love those sunsets over the ocean or even a lake. I live near a big lake, and whenever my brother and I go hiking, we deliberately set off an hour before dawn, so that we get to see the sunrise," Cris smiled as he recalled all those beautiful days.
"
Beauxbaton? I believe my brother's girlfriend, used to attend Beauxbaton. Both my sisters attend Durmstrang, like I used to. My family home is in Bergen, Norway. Have you been there before? I have pictures of where I live somewhere in my backpack. Maybe when we get the chance, I'll show them to you," Cris asked Jasmine.
It was then Cris realized. He was no longer stammering. Did that mean that he now felt comfortable talking to her? One thing was for sure, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
......Come on Sun! I want to see her more clearly.
