"Really, single life isn't half bad.'' Kay had gotten used to it, honestly. She had resigned to the fact that her love life was nonexistent. "Come on! Let's dance.'' Kay was about to pull Gaston and Rose to join in with the others when Miffy announced she wanted cake. "Looks like we're out of luck but- duck, you two!''

Peeves was throwing cake all around!

Thinking about food was making her hungry, though the swan story snapped her out of it. "You mean you guys wore dresses made out of swan feathers?" That was... interesting. And possibly uncomfortable?

"I definitely think we should get Joy," she said in agreement.

------------------------------


Gaston was making her sad.

She didn't like seeing him so down. Rosalyn wanted to give him a hug, so she did just that while hoping that he didn't mind. Was she crossing some sort of boundary? "I too know what it's like," she added a moment later after she had pulled away. They were all in it together, weren't they? It wasn't so bad though; she herself got wrapped up in reading and other pastimes and it really DID help. Also she had her wonderful friends with her. And yes, she wanted to help him too! That was if he wanted help...

At least they could dance, though it looked like Piffy was going to put an end to THAT before they could even begin. Hearing Kaysha's words, Rosalyn got ready to duck, but it was too late. A piece of cake hit her in the face with a loud SPLAT!!!

"UGGGH!!!"


Gaston sighed, wiping his eyes. He couldn't believe he'd fallen apart in front of Kay and Rosalyn! He needed to do what his father had been telling him practically all his life and stop wearing his heart on his sleeve. "I'm so sorry about this," he said, his mind silently berating him for dragging the two women into his personal problems like this. "I'm sure there's a million other things you'd rather be doing than comforting a sentimental fool like me..."

At the sound of Kay's voice, he forced himself to meet her eyes, though her question caught him off guard. She hadn't guessed, had she? And what if she did? Would she tell? He had no idea how he should answer that question! His first instinct was to deny everything, but he decided honesty was the best policy. "Yes," he replied with a slow nod. "Thank you for your kind offer." Her desire to help touched his heart, but realistically he didn't think there was anything she could do... Kay was still patting his arm when Rosalyn hugged him! Did that really just happen? Certainly not... Gaston froze for a split second, still half convinced he was dreaming, before wrapping his arms around Rosalyn. It was okay to hug her back, right? All too soon, she pulled away, and his heart sank. But her words caused him to gape at her in disbelief.

"Y-you do?" he stammered incredulously. She knew what it was like? How was that possible? Did she not know how amazing she was? "B-but, Rosalyn - Rose-" He hoped she wouldn't mind him using her nickname! "You are so smart and funny a-and you're one of the kindest people I've ever known..." His voice trailed off as he thought back to his first days at Hogwarts. "When I got here I had nobody, but you were the first to show me kindness, and - and I'd give anything to have even a ghost of a chance with you."

Gaston's azure eyes were suddenly wide and panic-stricken. What had he done? He meant to say "with someone like you" but instead... Nice going, Gaston, a nasty little voice in the back of his mind taunted him, Now she thinks you're some kind of creepy stalker! And it was just a matter of time before everybody found out... How would the students react? Oh Merlin, there'd been enough disruptions this term without him causing another one! How would the staff react? How would...? His heart dropped as his thoughts turned to the headmaster. Had he just cost one - or Merlin forbid, both - of them their jobs? He couldn't allow that; he'd insist he be given the brunt of whatever punishment might be coming!

And how would Rosalyn react? He didn't even want to know! It was taking every bit of resolve he had not to run away from her like a frightened bunny. Instead he stood with his head bowed, refusing to meet her eyes, resigned to the fact that he was about to have his heart broken. There was no way she'd ever want to dance with him now... but luckily, Miffy demanding cake had spared him from that rejection.

Gaston was jerked out of his thoughts by Kay telling him to duck, but before he could react, a piece of cake hit Rosalyn in the face and another grazed his head, streaking his black hair with frosting. So the poltergeists were starting a food fight? Why was he not surprised? He supposed he should just be grateful it was cake they were aiming at him instead of knives this time!

Gaston instinctively stood between Rosalyn and Peeves to block him from hitting her again. "Here, allow me..." he said, making the cake on her face disappear with a quick flick of his wand. the back of his jacket was covered with cake and frosting by the time he was able to cast a shield charm to protect him, but that was the last thing on his mind right now. The important thing was keeping her out of the poltergeists' line of fire!
