Hogwarts for Hikari and Jules

He looked himself over once and looked at his palms that had cushioned part of his fall. "I think I'm all in order," he said as he looked back up at her and it was then he noticed that she had went silent.

He held her gaze for what seemed like the lifespan of existence before he spoke. "You ok, Seraphina," he said as he reached his hand out to take hers again. Doing so he gave it a soft squeeze as he stood opposite her. He had a puzzled, almost scared expression on his face. His mind was racing trying to figure out why she had stoped talking.
 
"I think I'm all in order,"

"You ok, Seraphina,"

He had such lovely eyes. She was starting to like this bold quidditch player. She only wondered what he thought of her.

"I'm okay, it's just.. I've never been so spontaneous in my life and I think I'm enjoying it.. Maybe even a little too much.. I mean I don't even know you and you don't know me.. Yet here we are walking around the grounds like.. like.."
 
"Like what, Seri," he said with a small laugh as he the pale moon tried to illuminate her dark hair. It failed at that task but he caught her eyes just the right way.
 
"Like what, Seri," he said with a small laugh.


Her face grew hot once more and she knew blush was spreading across her cheeks.


"Like we were.. You know.. Seeing eachother.. Like a couple.."


and she was right. If anyone were to walk by right now they might make that assumption and somehow she did not mind.
 
"Ohh.. yeah, I could see that. Oh but I have never had a girlfriend before, Seri. I don't know if I would treat you well. You might want to pass on me," he said as he gave her hand a squeeze and turned and began to walk toward the pitch. He looked up at it and smiled and somewhat frowned as he knew he had practice bright and early in the morning.

"So. What do you want to do after Hogwarts?"
 
"Ohh.. yeah, I could see that. Oh but I have never had a girlfriend before, Seri. I don't know if I would treat you well. You might want to pass on me,"

She smiled at his remark. While he may not have ever had a girlfriend, he was doing a pretty good job so far. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. She'd just have to see how things went.


"So. What do you want to do after Hogwarts?"


"To tell you the truth, I've never really thought about it. I do many things well. I just don't know which I like enough to do for a good portion of my life. How bout you? Have you decided on anything?"
 
"I think I will end up working for the Ministry. They usually don't hire outside of the country but they have expressed a great intrest in me. Or so it seems. I have excellent marks in all my subjects and it seems that I am an all around good wizard. So I might end up with the Ministry. Who knows I might be an Auror," he said with a laugh as they passed by the pitch.

He began to walk them toward the edge of the forrest but he was carful to not walk them into but just to skirt the edge of it.

"So what's on your mind Seri?"
 
"I think I will end up working for the Ministry. They usually don't hire outside of the country but they have expressed a great intrest in me. Or so it seems. I have excellent marks in all my subjects and it seems that I am an all around good wizard. So I might end up with the Ministry. Who knows I might be an Auror," he said with a laugh as they passed by the pitch.

They walked to the edge of the forest.


"So what's on your mind Seri?"


She took a deep breath.


"I was thinking that I've never had a boyfriend just as you've never had a girlfriend. So there's no guarantee that I'd treat you well either. Only I'm not as certain of how you'd feel about that.. I see a hint of interest in your eyes but not so much beyond that.. I mean if you are interested in someone you shouldn't just lead them on like some fool.." she nearly whispered.


Her eyes seemed to sparkle as she spoke.
 
He stoped her dead in her tracks and turned to face her. "I would never lead you on, Seraphina," he said with his hazel eyes full of intensity.

"You have peaked my intrest in the past few hours in ways no one ever has. I have had girls look at me here. But none like you. Yeah I played dumb about your friends and their list. But I've known about the list for some time. Most of us that are on it know about it. Did I start talking to you in hopes of getting in good with your friends? No. I started talking to you because someone as beautiful as you shouldn't be sitting by their self in the corner of the common room. You are too beautiful to be by yourself, Seraphina Rosalind Grimsby," he said before taking a step back. He had let go of the larger part of her hand and was now gently holding her fingertips.
 
"I would never lead you on, Seraphina," he said with his hazel eyes full of intensity.

Her heart was beating fast.


"I..I'm flattered.. I really didn't know if it was just me.. I wasn't aware that anyone found me beautiful. While I'm not so certain about what should happen next, I do know what my impulses are telling me to do.."


Her breath was coming out in in soft waspy clouds. It wouldn't be long before curfew and they'd have to make it back before then.
 
"And what is it that your impulses are saying to do, Seraphina," he said as he gripped her hand firmly and looked her straight in the eyes. His own breath was comming fast too for some reason. Perhaps it was because he had just said a lot without much space or was it her. He ventured a thought that it was a combination of the two but he relied heavily on it being her though, in his mind.
 
"And what is it that your impulses are saying to do, Seraphina,"


She breathed in sharply as she found her face moving closer to his.


"They're telling me to..to..Jules I.."


She felt like she'd suddenly switched into automatic pilot as she found herself moving in closer and closer. She only hoped that he would in turn meet her halfway.
 
His face nearly rushed into the gap between them. Before he knew it, his lips were pressed firmly against hers. His arms had found their way around her waist and he had pulled her closer. He was experiencing strange things he had never felt before. There was a tingling in his lips. His tounge seemed to take on a life of its own and it was wanting out. His heart was racing but at the same time it was under control. And the weird one was the throbing in his pants. He didn't know what that was but he liked it.
 
He was simply taking her breath away as her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck puling him ever closer. She'd never kissed anyone, yet somehow her lips were following his motions and drawing him in. There was a hot burning in her chest followed by a tingling sensation. She was on fire and loving every moment of it. She honestly had no idea that something like this could happen so quickly. However close they were right now, it was not close enough, but in the end she needed to breathe. She broke the kiss gasping and laid her head on his shoulder. Although she knew she'd wanted to kiss him, she had no idea that it would feel that way. It'd felt so right it was almost scary. She took deep breaths once more and knew it was nearly curfew time. Yet she knew not how to break away from him like this.
 
"Seraphina... were did you learn to kiss like that," he said as he layed his head against hers. "I mean.. things came to life that I never knew existed. Wow," was all he could bring himself to say. He kissed the side of her head and sighed. "It's almost curfew. We should probably get back," he said with yet another sigh.
 
"Seraphina... were did you learn to kiss like that,"

"I mean.. things came to life that I never knew existed. Wow,"


He kissed the side of her head and sighed. She'd felt the same thing. There was so much to say yet she couldn't get herself to say any of it. All she could do was smile.


"It's almost curfew. We should probably get back,"


she nodded breaking their embrace and taking his hand in hers. They began walking back towards the school.


"Jules I.. I just wanna say.. That I've never felt anything like that before in my life, and while I'm not certain what happened back there, I want you to know that I.. Well.."


She laughed a bit nervously.


"I liked it alot..and..we should do that again sometime.."


She knew she was probably not making any sense, but she had to try.


"If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like to get to know you better. I know I'm just rambling here, but I just don't want you to think that.. I've never done anything like that before.."
 
"Yeah that was nice," he said as a light smirk spread across his face. "And we should do that again some time. And I would love to get to know you better as well," he said in order, answering all the points that she made.

"Come on then, bacl to the castle," he said as he popped her bum lightly and turned to walk back past the pitch.

He started to giggle and he looked over at her. "Wow...I know I said this once but.. that was amazing, Seraphina."
 
"Yeah that was nice," he said as a light smirk spread across his face.

"And we should do that again some time. And I would love to get to know you better as well," he said in order, answering all the points that she made.

"Wow...I know I said this once but.. that was amazing, Seraphina."


She smiled looking over at him.


"You weren't so bad yourself.. I only wonder what people are going to say when they realize both of us are missing and missing together."


She was certainly right about one thing. People had already started whispering when they'd left the great hall and even more when they weren't immediately found back at the commons. Still the both of them continued walking hand and hand till they reached the castle doors.


"I do hope that no one missed us.."
 
"Oh I don't think anyone would miss us," he said as they walked through the doors and began to climb the seven sets of stairs to the common room. They reached the seventh floor and Jules did something rather rash.

He saw a dark corner at the end of the hall that he knew was more than a corner. It was a small hallway that he had found one day. He grabbed her hand tight and drug her down the hall. Shushing her all the way. He pulled her into the corner and pushed her somewhat forcefully back against the wall as he leaned in to kiss her again. He let off the pressure on her hand as he leaned into her and used his hands to brace himself on the wall. She had wanted to do this again and so did he, and he couldn't imagine a better place to do it.
 
"Oh I don't think anyone would miss us," he said as they walked through the doors and began to climb the seven sets of stairs to the common room. They reached the seventh floor and Jules did something rather rash.

He'd led her down a hallway she'd never seen before and pushed her roughly against the wall, bringing his lips to hers once more. They were breaking school rules of conduct and she honestly didn't care as her lips melted into his and drew him in once more. Her arms came up to wrap around him as that heat in her chest fired up once more and consumed her senses. Then suddenly she swore she heard something and pulled away suddenly.


"Someone's coming..."
 
He grabbed her hand and started to walk slowly backwards into the small hallway. The further down they went, the less visable they were to anyone. He wasn't going to lie, he had somewhat heard something. What though, he wasn't sure. He peered through the darkness and he heard voices.

"I can't believe she isn't back yet."
"Her and Jules are probably out snogging by the lake."
"Lucky girl.. can you imagine how good he must be."
"I know.. we have been after him in some form for the last three years and she says nothing to him and he's at her feet."
"Boys," they both said in unison as they pased the enterence to the little hallway. He heard them say the password and they went into the common room.

Jules sighed and leaned back against the wall. "Whew.. that was close," he said as he reached around for her in the dark. He didn't have any idea where she was so when his hand rested on what he guessed was her chest, he quickly withdrew it and started to apologize.
 
They moved slowly backward into the hall and stood in the darkness.


"I can't believe she isn't back yet."
"Her and Jules are probably out snogging by the lake."
"Lucky girl.. can you imagine how good he must be."
"I know.. we have been after him in some form for the last three years and she says nothing to him and he's at her feet."
"Boys,"

"Whew.. that was close,"


He reached around for her in the dark. His hand brushing against her right breast and apologizing immediately after.


"It's alright.. I'm just glad it wasn't a teacher or a prefect."


She reached for him as well and wrapped her arms around him in a quick hug and grabbed his hand.


"We should go.. Who knows where we are now, and if were in some place we shouldn't be.. Well..Let's just get back to the common room.."
 
"Yeah we should," he said as he took her hand and led them out of the hallway. He walked them down the hall and stood in front of the knight that guarded the enterence to their common room. He spoke the password and the knight just shook it's head.

They walked in and there was the quidditch team looking over a layout of the pitch. "Aronack!! Were have you beed," spat James, the captain of the team. He was about to question him again when he saw Seraphaina step out from behind him. "Oh.. well.. just sit down and start looking over the plan for practice tomorrow." Jules nodded and turned around and kissed her on the cheek. "Night Seri," he said as he walked over and sat down.
 
"Aronack!! Were have you beed,"

The quidditch captain seemed a bit angry until he saw her come from behind him.

"Oh.. well.. just sit down and start looking over the plan for practice tomorrow."


He came around and kissed her softly on the cheek. She blushed once more.

"Night Seri,"

She smiled and waved.

"Night.."


She walked towards the staircase and up to the girls dormitories. She was soon met by Keira and Em, who nearly pounced on her.

"Seri what happened to ye?"

"You look happy.."

"Oh come on tell us the details.. Did you guys really snog by the lake?"

"Was it Romantic?"

"Girls, Girls, listen.. I.. I'll tell you later..."

"But we want answers.."

"and I need sleep.."


They both moved off to their four posters all disappointed. Seri quickly changed to her night clothes and slipped beneath the blankets. She couldn't stop thinking about him. It had been so wonderful and she couldn't wait to find out what would happen next.
 
"So what is she like," was the first thing Jules heard when Seri had cleared the steps and the door to the girls dorms had been shut.

"Yeah, mate.. is she a right good snogger?"

"Guys.. I don't kiss and tell," was all he managed to say before pillows started to be chucked at him. "Hey, hey... I'm just respecting her and my privacy."

"I bet you'd respect her all night wouldn't you?"

"Hush, seriously. She is a sweet girl and we talked. That was it." They guys gave up and went back to discussing tomorrows practice. An hour or so later Jules walked into his room and stripped from his robes and threw on some shorts and a shirt. He climbed into bed wondering what Seri was thinking and wondering if she felt the same way about him.
