SPOILER!!: Maggie (he should be safe, this time)

So first he had to answer those two questions. Because right now she was just really confused. By everything. But especially by how he had just managed to MAKE her feel confused. That was the most confusing part. And she didn't know what it meant or what she was supposed to think about all this. So she waited for him to clarify some things. Most importantly, there was the whole liking and LIKING thing. Maybe he could explain which one he meant.

Him moving closer was a start, she supposed.

The first answer earned him a look but that was all. He wanted her to know. Yes. That was why he'd told her. Okay, touché. It HAD answered her question technically but it was obvious that that wasn't what she wanted to know. The reason people told other people things was always because they wanted them to know. That went without saying. So her eyes were back on the grass in front of her. He was going to have to do better than that.

They could...? Maggie waited, almost expecting another unfinished sentence. Really? Did she have to help him use his mouth to form words too? He must have had a reason to say that right now so why couldn't he just come right out and say that? It really wasn't that hard, was it? Did he mean it as an apology? Was he trying to be friends? What? What?

...wait, WHAT?

So, not friends, apparently. At this Maggie looked back up and gave him a surprised look. "What?" That had not.....been.........was not......WHAT????? Her gaze flicked down to his hand on hers for a second before it locked on his eyes again. What? Saying it again wouldn't really make this any more clear, was it? So she only said it in her head. What?

....

The first reaction that came to her mind was to laugh, say no, laugh some more then go and hide in her dorm for a few days and hope it would all be back to normal after. Somehow she simply remained seated where she was though, no laughing either. As for the saying no, however... "You really hurt me, you know." Maggie finally replied, eyes on their hands again. Yes, she knew he knew but it was relevant to her reply. He'd betrayed her trust. Big time.

"So, how about you can take me to Hogsmeade next time?" Pause. "We can, like, talk and stuff." She looked back up, a small smirk on her lips. "Deal?" They were good at negotiating, right?

What.

'What', was not what he was hoping to hear. In fact, he was sure 'what' was worse than a 'thanks but no thanks' because it meant she thought the notion was ludicrous beyond belief. So ludicrous that she was lost for words? Was it? He didn't think so.

Now he really did have to look away.

Unsure of WHERE to look, Zeke scanned their surroundings, his gaze landing on the whomping willow until she spoke again. But what she said had him turning his head back to face her before following her gaze and staring at their hands. That pit in his stomach was back, possibly bigger than before. A part of him had hoped she wouldn't be hurt by it, that she didn't care, that it wouldn't matter... but it did, and though it had its own drawbacks, it meant that she DID care. Right? "I know," he managed. It was inexcusable, and he wanted to assure her it would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, but would she believe him? He wouldn't.

"I wasn't thinking, but I'll.... make it up to you." Somehow. Somehow.

Was this it? Would she send him away again now? Without a proper answer?

Zeke maintained his hold on her hand, his thumb moving in circles around her palm. He was content to stay this way until given his marching orders, but that didn't come, the words that followed had his head sharply turning up to meet her gaze. Hogsmeade. HOGSMEADE! He was already nodding along. YES, Hogsmeade, YES talking and stuff, YES it was a deal. "I look forward to it," he beamed. Yes, beaming was happening, because... it was a good day, life was good. He gave her hand a small squeeze, somehow managing to resist the urge to catch her face and kiss it all over.
