Text Cut: Jared, what rhymes with Jared?

That was actually a good question. "I can't tell, but it might have been when I started working with merpeople." He pondered out loud. They weren't the most unpredictable beings, but you still couldn't just decide absolutely eveything in advance sometimes. "And with the people enthusiasts." Yeah, they were probably the worst. "It's good for your creativity, at least." Jared shrugged, helping himself to another cauldron cake. Maria's comment on wishing it would rain made Jared wiggle his eyebrows briefly at her before taking a bite from the cake. And was it her lucky day? "It is indeed." He raised his cauldron cake as if to make a toast and smiled at her.

Smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirk. Bahahahaha, her expression was priceless. No need to make fun of her or anything. The situation was good enough as it was, and Jared pretended nothing happened as he looked back at the pond and admired the nice day a bit more.

"Good to hear." The former Ravenclaw took another bite out of his cauldron cake and kept watching whatever was going on near the pond, though his attention was really on Maria. "Sounds like you're having a break from all the hard work at the store." She worked there by herself, didn't she? He wouldn't say so, but it was a big bookshop and it was probably good to have some help every now and again.

Instead of smirking, this time Jared kept acting casual, still not taking his eyes off the pond. He shrugged before answering. "If you like me calling you my lady, then it would make sense if this were true. You're not mine." He still had the most casual expression on his face, but finally turned to look at her and shook his head to emphasise she wasn't his. "But this issue shouldn't be too complicated to solve." Jared added looking once again at the pond. "If you want to, of course."


A different type of nice? "Considering how we met back at the store all those years ago, I wouldn't have expected you to say that." Because she had been, as he had put it, unprofessional. And probably a little rude. Keep practising? "Hey!" she started, pretending to be offended, "I could take it all back, Cattermole."

Maria raised her eyebrows. Rhetorical question, that had been. But while he went ahead and answered, she opened her chocolate frog packet. "Those merpeople must have had a big effect on you." she said before taking a bite of the head of the chocolate frog. And working with and dating was completely different, Cattermole. SNORT. "You worked with the people enthusiasts?" Jared Cattermole? The same one she knew? The wiggling eyebrows made her cheeks flush once again -- merlin, how many times was this going to happen? -- but she ignored this while she flung the chocolate frog card in his general direction. "Thank you." A toast for her lucky day? Heh.

That smirk. Despite being all too used to it, she was still taken aback with the fact that he was smirking. She hadn't expected that, unless he happened to be that happy with getting an almost kiss. And was he really going to pretend that nothing had happened? Merlin, MEN.

What was so interesting about the pond that he kept looking over there? He didn't expect a mermaid to pop out of there, did he? The man was going to be severely disappointed, if that was the case. "I am. Which is how I'm able to meet you here today." And he would have had a wink sent his way if he had been looking at her. Shame.

The man was being his usual Ravenclaw self and it would have both amused and annoyed Maria if the situation had been a different one. Instead, she bit her lip and decided to look down at the snacks and the picnic cloth. As much as she hated to admit it, he was right. "Would it be wrong to say that I did want to?" she said, finally looking up at him.
