Austin leaned over the balcony and looked at the floors below. The Ravenclaw was nervous, mainly because he was meeting Azura. They were friends, and had been through a lot this year together. So why he was nervous was hard to pinpoint. To anyone else, at least. To Austin Moore, he was nervous because he had missed her birthday. His own birthday had passed before he was able to get her a present.

What made matters worse is that he even tried to avoid her during classes and in the common room. It wasn't like he wanted to avoid her, but he was afraid she would be mad at him for not saying happy birthday. Sighing, he hoped the candy in his messenger bag would make up for his absence.
