Little did she know that he was struggling with what he had interpreted on his own a short while ago. There was further concern when she realised that Heath was not meeting her eyes. “Are you okay?’’ the fourth year asked softly, her head tilting slightly. If Heath didn’t want to talk about… whatever it was, then that was fine with her but she was there for him.


Earlier, Claudine had been wondering if her surveying him would be weird. It turned out that this was exactly how she felt as she watched him study her outfit. The girl felt very self conscious. This was one of the reasons she hated to be in the spotlight in general. She tried not to blush and to instead, continue her focus on Heath. No, on his outfit.


He was wearing a tie. Perfect. That meant that she could try to figure out which hand was used to loop it. Um… did she just ask Heath that outright? “Your tie… did you use your right hand to loop it?’’ Claudine knew the Ravenclaw was right handed but did that didn't necessarily mean that he used his right hand.


The Slytherin shrugged. “I have no idea. I would like to think that it would given the fact that both ties and ribbons have to be looped…’’ She rolled her eyes. “Divination for the main part, in my opinion, is hocus pocus. I mean, stuff like communicating with the dead I believe in but interpretation by clothes? Not really.’’ Even if she apparently will find love.


The concern in Claudine's voice was all it took to send Heath's already heightened emotions into a tailspin. He was torn between feeling flattered that she cared that much about him and guilty for worrying her at all. 'Am I okay?'Is it really that obvious that I'm not? he thought. How was it that he was so guarded around everyone else, yet an open book around her? He shook his head, reluctantly meeting her gaze with sad eyes. What should he say? He didn't mind telling her what was wrong; it was everybody else in the room that he didn't want to tell! "Read the second interpretation," he whispered as he handed her his notes, trusting she would come to the same conclusion he did upon reading the part that said, You'll be alone.

He noticed her blush and instantly looked away. It obvious that the only thing this observation had accomplished was making them both feel awkward… or maybe not. He blinked, slightly taken aback by her question, though he didn't know why. He should've guessed she'd figure things out on her own! "I did," he said, nodding in confirmation. This line of conversation got his curiosity piqued about her tie ribbon. Had he correctly guessed which hand she used to loop it? Only one way to find out! "Let's say for all intents and purposes that it does count… which hand did you use to loop it?"

Claudine's next words got a slight smile, though it didn't extend to his troubled eyes. "I hope you're right, he replied very quietly, "because if that prediction does come true… His voice trailed off as his fears of losing her returned with a vengeance. "... You know what that would do to me.
