Maybe she could buy herself a cat since they seemed to be easier to look after than a dog and she could actually take it to the school with her...

A moment later she was brought out of her thoughts by the loud hoot of an owl. Her eyes widened as she looked back to a rather unsettled Gaston. "Everything okay?" The owl hadn't scratched him, had it? She was worried until she saw that he seemed to be perfectly okay. Thank Merlin. If he had been hurt she wouldn't know what to do! Well, she'd have definitely taken him to see Joy, but she would have been very upset.

They finally had the chance to continue the conversation from Hogsmeade and she had been sure that he hadn't forgotten though a small part of her had worried that maybe he did. Rosalyn knew that she was being ridiculous but she couldn't help it. She kept smiling as Gaston spoke, encouraging him though he was stammering a lot and couldn't even finish the thought. "Of course I would," she said a moment later.

It took several minutes of Gaston petting the owl and whispering soothing words to it for the hooting and flapping to stop. Once the bird finally calmed down, it perched on the branch and gave his hand a firm peck. He winced slightly, drawing back, and immediately realized what the owl wanted. He held out another handful of treats and laughed to himself as the bird munched contentedly. "You're a hungry little thing, aren't you?" The bird eyed him expectantly. "No, no more. You'll be too full to fly!"

His attention was diverted from the owl by the sound of Rosalyn's voice. Great, now she must think you're an idiot, he thought. Merlin, why was it that every time he was around her, he ended up doing something dumb?! Couldn't he act normal just once? "I... I'm fine," he replied, dropping his gaze to hide the blush rising to his cheeks. Clumsy but fine... His heart sank at the sight of her widening eyes. He hadn't worried her, had he?

Gaston tried to ask Rosalyn if she'd give him a chance after the term ended, but he was stammering too hard to finish. He sighed as he turned away, dreading her answer. Deep down he knew there was no way she'd accept him; she was too good for him! "I understand," he said sadly, still avoiding her eyes.

But then her words sank in. Wait, was she saying...? All he could do was gape at Rosalyn in utter shock for a few moments. "y-you mean...?"he squeaked once he'd finally found his voice. "You'll give me a chance?" He looked back at her with pleading eyes. Please say yes...
