samira bit back a grin at the feel of luca’s hand squeezing hers, an explosion of butterflies exploding in her stomach. it was odd, how quickly things had blossomed between herself and luca. the idea of intertwining fingers with any male, let alone one as attractive as luca, was blasphemous to the gryffindor just a week or so ago — and now, here she was, hand-in-hand with luca and not at all afraid of the way their fingers seemed to perfectly link with one another’s. a soft laugh akin to luca’s danced off of her lips at his very true statement regarding her head of house. she liked mcgonagall, but admittedly, the elder witch had been exceedingly strict this semester. blame it on the tragedies that seemed to follow the castle. ❛ i said your gesture was cute, not you, ❜ the blonde playfully huffed, squinting her eyes at him before shooting him a grin. she actually thought he was gorgeous, but that was neither here nor there. icy hues held ebony as samira absentmindedly gazed at him, quickly focusing her sight on the path ahead of them when she realized she was quite literally ogling at him. ❛ you could always get in trouble with me, then we’d have detention together, ❜ she joked halfheartedly, almost meaning what she’d suggested. ❛ but if you’re too scared to take on a forest excursion, we could travel to the waterfall. the walk there is a long one, but it’s nice all the while. ❜
“SCARED?” luca scoffed, licking his lips as they continued down the stone corridor. “M’not bloody scared.” he insisted, steering them in and out of the floods of students that were now making their way through the halls. “an’ about gettin’ in trouble wif ya, i’d really love that, truly, but m’not sure that i’m ready to have mcgonagall down m’throat for a monf.” with a shrug, the tall, caramel skinned boy gently pulled the petite blonde towards the direction of the path to the waterfall, a dopey smile on his face the longer their fingers remained intertwined. it was almost like an out-of-body experience for the slytherin, to watch himself be so delicate with another human being - another witch. “you look beautiful.” he said, finally breaking the silence between them. “i mean ya always do, but i thought i’d let ya know.” he muttered sheepishly, using his free hand to awkwardly rub the nape of his neck. “i don’ really know what t’say around ya, m’sorry. i know m’a bit...strange sometimes.”
