The bell to class rings ending another one of Jinx and Wally's daily bickering. The two were fighting in the middle of lunch, allowing everyone in the room to hear them spit each other's saliva at their faces. Everyone in the building has gotten used to their usual fights that it doesn't faze them as much anymore. If anything they've always thought there was something between them. An enemies to lovers trope they said! "Enemies to lovers my ass" they both replied to their friends when they broke off such rumors to them, a clear look of disgust on their faces.
They both disappointingly walked to their next class together sending each other glares as they earned a sigh from their friends that were following behind them. "You ever think they'll be friends?" "Never in a million years" Raven and Dick whisper as they, too, walk to potion class.
The moon was beginning to rise and everyone was already heading towards their dorms to get a good night's rest. Well, supposedly, until the loud arguing of Jinx and Wally echoed through the halls. But this wasn't far from normal, so as per usual everyone went on with their night and their nightly routine. Jinx and Wally bid each other goodbye with a last roll of their eyes and blow of a raspberry.
The moment everyone's lights had turned off, Wally had sneaked out of his room through his window and quickly rode his broom around the castle, trying to keep it as lowkey as possible. Jinx was simply lying down on her bed with her cat on her lap, stroking its fur in one hand and reading a book with the other. Humming a lullaby to lull the little creature to sleep. She then hears a sudden knock on her window. She groans along with her growing annoyance at the noise. She gently pushes off her kitten and heads towards the window, opening it gently to avoid any creaking noise and is greeted with a large figure, the absolute bane of her existence, riding on a broomstick.
"And just what exactly are you doing here Mr. Wallace Rudolph West?" Jinx asks with her arms crossed under her chest. "Nothing, just missing you" He flashes her that toothy grin she despises (adores) so much which only results in her scowl deepening by the second. The fellow gryffindor welcomes himself inside her dorm room as she shuts her window to avoid any witnesses. He then settles himself on her bed as her cat crawls towards him and lays itself right next to Wally. "Missing me? We saw each other just a few minutes ago" He pets her animal gently. Jinx wiped his bangs off his face and continued to play with his hair. "I always miss you" he stares at her with huge soft eyes, the kind that always melt her heart. "Shut up since when did you learn to be so corny" he giggles as she starts to rub his cheeks with the palm of her hands. "Ever since i fell in love with you" "You disgust me." "But you love me anyway" she sighs. They stared into each other's eyes as they sat in comfortable silence. "Should we tell them?" Wally proposes with his head lying on her shoulder. "No, it'll ruin the fun" he chuckles, they continued to chat as the night went on.
The next day, when they met in the halls once again, their daily bickering that their dearest friends could not get enough of starts again but when it was lunchtime and god knows whose decision it was to sit them next to each other, little did they know, two hands were intertwined under the table amidst all the fighting.
