If Maggie was going to leave him, she'd have done it by now, but noooooo... he was an excellent boyfriend.
It hadn't occurred to him that Amur had stopped, wasn't she getting ready to swim too? So it was only as he pocketed his wand and looked up to meet her gaze that he noticed she was... not herself.
...
"Amur?" he questioned, just as she had questioned him seconds ago. Did he miss something?
Turning slightly to see if the Squid had reared it's ugly head, or if there was a thestral behind him, or a dementor, or a hippogriff on fire... Zeke then turned back, his brows knit together in thought. Her face was a shade of red he hadn't seen before, but she appeared to be breathing, which was good news.
"Amur?" he repeated... and then she stalked past him.
Okay then.
And OH! Her tattoos! "The fake ones that won't last long and were a waste of effort and money?" he asked as he followed her. Zeke kicked at the water as he reached the edge, wading into the shallow depths and splashing his arms and torso to test the temperature. The water was a little chilly, but pleasantly so.
She had decided to be nice. Almost promised it, in some ways. And sure, she had teased him about his tattoo idea, but that's because it
WAS ridiculous. Hers was actually pretty and not attached to some floosy love life that likely wouldn't last the year. Her's
meant something and she was proud and excited about them.
And then, he went and said that.
When she had first been sorted into Gryffindor, she hadn't really understood why. As she grew, she started to understand. Things happened, choices were made and actions taken that confirmed the hat's sorting. This, was one of those times.
It was a mixture of things that caused it. All from their banter turned argument on the rock, to the embarrassment she had just felt that she couldn't place and felt all sorts of oddly conflicted about. So, when Zeke opened his big mouth and took to wading in the water, Amur simply couldn't help herself.
Her wand came out, and before he could get far, Amur cast, sending a big ol' wave right up into his face.
"Oh cool off!" Why? Because he was hot?
.....Wait? WHAT?! WHAT BRAIN?!
And so she stood, wand in hand at the edge of the water, looking all sorts of angry-confused-embarrassed-and-regretful. How could one person have so many emotions at the same time?
