A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself. Norah was awfully quiet. Had he done this wrong? Oh no he knew he was supposed to wait till they were alone. He knew he shouldn’t have asked her this at the table. Yoongi poured in some more water, he definitely needed to go to the bathroom soon if he kept drinking like this and hoped she didn’t feel pressured. What if she thought that he had asked her out in a crowded room so that she couldn’t say no? He would totally be fine if she did say no , yup….toooootally fine …yup.
Still, he wished she would say something at least and when she finally did his heart skipped a beat. Uh. That wasn’t good right? That sounded like a ‘uh, I need to think about it’ and then she would never want to be friends again. But then she continued talking and he stared at her. “A date?” he asked as he watched her cheeks get red. Did she think…no but wait… he had asked her out on a date hadn’t he? He wished he had been more…himself when he had asked her to do something over the summer though. “Uhm…” he smiled suddenly. “Yes, it’s a date” Merlin’s Beard he had a date! He had done it! This wasn’t the first time he had asked a girl out though but that was in Charms school….and it had failed. Since then he had been scared of being rejected again. But he had succeeded now, he was AWESOME! “I always have great ideas” he said, slowly coming back to his original self. He felt relieved now that the Hufflepuff had accepted and his eyes looked at Zander and cast him a ‘stop grinning like that’ glare before he turned back to Norah. Was she….doubting? Yoongi raised his eyebrows in the air. “Duh” he said and poked her arm. “Of course you, who else?” He had asked HER out, not the person sitting beside her had he not?
As the speech began and the room fell quiet, Yoongi turned his head to look over at the staff table. He grinned when he saw professor Myers and he kind of wanted to tell him that he had succeeded in asking Norah out. But that would be …weird, especially now , ah he’ll find out somehow. He hadn’t really paid attention to what the Headmaster was saying about the winning students although he did clap for them when everyone else did. But one thing he did notice was that the Headmaster seemed a bit off tonight. Perhaps he was simply tired or hungry. He knew he was hungry and so when the speech ended and the food appeared on the table, Yoongi grabbed a bowl and poured in some vegetable soup. “You want some?” he asked Norah.
