"I know what it's like to feel like you are not good enough for someone." Her thoughts turned to- NOPE! She was not going to let herself think of him because he didn't deserve it. Instead she continued speaking... or would have if Gason hadn't turned away from her.

Immediately she wondered if she had upset him again, but Rosalyn was sure that she hadn't. It was more likely that he was just not wanting her to see him getting emotional. She did not understand why he would be ashamed but then she knew that it was a stigma among males to show feelings. Nonsense in her opinion. "You don't need to hide your feelings." Really. There was nothing wrong with it.

Gaston was still reeling form the shock of Rosalyn's acceptance when her next words left him completely flabbergasted. He couldn't imagine how anyone would think she wasn't good enough! She was so beautiful and smart and funny and so unfailingly kind; she was better than him in every way. He was suddenly angry - not at Rose, no, never at her - at the person who made her feel that way. Hopefully he'd never cross paths with them; he didn't even want to know what would happen if he did. No one hurt his Rose and got away with it! Then the anger gave away to sadness. No one deserved to feel that, especially not someone as wonderful as her!

Oh Merlin, this on top of all everything else he was already feeling was too much for one heart to handle! Gaston stood with his back to Rosalyn, not so much out of shame or wounded pride - he was sure everyone at Hogwarts knew what a trainwreck he was by now - but to protect her from being upset or overwhelmed by his emotions. It was only when she spoke that he forced himself to look back. His face was streaked with tears, but he smiled at her. For several moments, all he could do was hold her hand, silently looking into her eyes. "I'm so sorry if I've upset you with all this," he finally said, wiping his eyes. "It's just... I didn't think I'd find anyone who accepted me, let alone someone as wonderful as you."

There was a long pause before he went on. "Rose, please don't ever feel that you aren't good enough. You're beyond good; you're..." He sighed as his voice trailed off. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me..." That was a massive understatement! Merlin knows he would've resigned mid-year if it hadn't been for her kindness! "... and as soon as this term's over, I'll show you just how much you mean to me."
