Ziam Ficrec - Compartment 451 by ziamhaze
“Look, you have no excuse,” Louis presses. “This is our last year here and I know that part of the reason you’ve been putting it off is because you didn’t want to have to see him at school until we graduated if he said no, which he would never.” The boy’s got this stubborn look in his eye that tells Zayn he can’t ignore the truth behind his words. “On top of that, what other, better things do you have to do this year?”
“Pass the most important exams of our lives?” The Ravenclaw shakes his head, “and even if the bit about avoidance was true,” he holds up a finger to stop Louis before he even has the chance to reign victorious. “It’s only part of it.” Running a hand through his hair, Zayn sighs, all attention now on him. “I can be indecisive. Do I need to remind you how long it took me last summer to decide on what N.E.W.T. subjects to take? What if this is just another thing that I’ve held out on for a reason subconsciously?”
Now they’re all giving him pointed glares, but Louis’ still the only one to talk. “Zayn, you’ve been pining after him for 3 years. If this is what indecisive looks like then I’m a bloody goblin.”
“Debatable,” Niall murmurs under his breath, immediately groaning once Harry knocks the crisp bag out of his grasp and down to the ground, where a good amount spills out onto the floor.
Zayn’s a muggleborn wizard whose parents leave him to fend for himself once he’s made aware of his magical abilities. The Payne’s are an open minded wizarding family, who take him in and provide the boy with a loving home before he and their overly excited son Liam, go off to Hogwarts for the first time. Liam introduces Zayn to the wonderful world of magic, while Zayn teaches the pureblood about a way of life he’s never known. Somewhere between laser tag tutorials and petting Hebridean Black dragons, Zayn falls for the newly appointed Head Boy, but his three other nonconforming friends aren’t about to let the Ravenclaw go through his last year of school without letting Liam in on his feelings once and for all.
