Steady hands but a rapid heartbeat. A bead of sweat rolled down the nervous boy’s features as he raised his arm to wipe it away. This was the first of many to come. The first sign that perhaps the young boy just might be HUMAN. The boy who was quick to raise his hand and always interrupting others to point out the philosophical flaws within their arguments. Everything had to be exact, precise and perfect. Of course, slowly this built up over time and it became apparent when the young man stopped SMILING. With a stoic expression glued to his face, most just thought of him as odd or too serious.
But today, Thomas sat in the Common Room, writing out a letter to the one and only Lily Luna Potter. The very name brought butterflies to his stomach and a warmth to his face. No one had ever made the Ravenclaw boy feel this way before but he had read Muggle books on the feeling and he learned that this strange and unusual feeling was referred to as a CRUSH. It was an odd name, but apparently the word was something of a positive origin. He learned that Muggles often behave in strange ways when they have a crush: such as writing love letters or exchanging gifts. This gave the boy an idea to write out a short letter to the girl who made his heart skip and gift her with several candies he picked out himself.
As he finished off his letter and signed it off as ❛ your secret admirer, ❜ he quickly made his way to the doorway of Lily’s room, using the wingardium leviosa charm to carefully float the letter and the wrapped parcel of candy onto her bed. He then walked over to claim a spot on the couch, just praying that no one had seen him.
