N.E.W.T.s

A fluffy AU one-shot of Quinn and Merula. No vaults, no R, nothing bad. Just final exams! And a coming out.

Summary: Within no time she had Merula pinned underneath her, arms to her sides. Merula struggled to suppress a smile while Quinn laughed.

‘Admit you’ll miss me.’

‘Maybe if you admit that I’m the best, most powerful witch at Hogwarts.’

‘Never.’

Quinn leaned forward to keep Merula pinned down and became surrounded again by her smell. That flower… Without thinking she leaned closer.

‘You smell nice.’

The words left her mouth before she could stop herself and she froze. Merula froze too, her perfectly pink slim lips slightly parted. Only her eyes moved, as if searching for something.

‘Get off me, you idiot!’

Merula’s snarl made her move again and she did as she was told. ‘I’m sorry, did I hurt you?’

‘No, it’s- Whatever. I’ve got to study.’

Height difference! I HC Merula to be short, so I thought it'd be funny if Quinn was on the longer side.

A converter said this is a 6,3 inch difference.

Purple-throated Fruitcrow (males) - Querula purpurata 

Though having the size and shape of a small crow, the Purple-throated Fruitcrow, Querula purpurata (Passeriformes - Cotingidae), is not a crow but a cotinga species, in which males have a deep purple throat patch extending to the side of the neck.

The Purple-throated Fruitcrow is the only species of cotinga that is social, occurring in noisy groups of 3-8 birds and is the only member of its family to breed cooperatively. 

This species has a large range, from Bolivia and Brazil north into Central America.
