All things considered; it had been a fun night. Verna felt giddy and a little tipsy after downing a few glasses of the punch Jae had spiked. Despite all the bumps in the road with the arrangements, everything had gone without a hitch. Andre seemed happy too, laughing and dancing with Penny.

“Verna?” Charlie called her name, pulling her out of her thoughts. She turned to look at him.

“Yeah?”

“My feet are killing me, mind if I take a break?” Charlie asked.

“Oh, yeah, no,” Verna said. “I think I'm going to go get some air.”

“Want me to come with?”

Verna shook her head. “I think I need a minute, you know?”

Charlie weighed her words for a minute and then squeezed her hand. “Okay, I get it.”

Verna gave him a smile and headed out. She couldn’t help but think back to a year ago, when she, Charlie, Ben, and Rowan had all been to the dance together. How much she missed Rowan, and how drastically things could change in just a year.

Verna thought of heading to the main courtyard, but on second thought, it would probably be too crowded for her purposes. She took a turn to the right instead and headed out from one of the side doors. It was dark outside, and the lanterns were lit. At first glance, it seemed like she was alone, but in the dim light, Verna quickly noticed a figure, smoking, and dressed in a shimmering black dress sat on one of the benches. She had an unmistakable orange streak in her hair. Verna wasn’t in the mood for this, so she resolved to turn and head back inside, when she accidentally kicked a rock, sending it flying across the yard. Of course the noise caught Merula’s attention. Because nothing ever seemed to go Verna’s way.

“Malinda?”

Reluctantly, Verna turned back around, to face her fully. “Merula.”

“What are you doing here?” Merula asked. She’d taken off her mask, and some of her mascara had smudged around her eyes. She looked pretty.

“I got tired of dancing,” Verna replied. Merula raised her eyebrow and patted the bench next to her.

Verna eyed her, suspiciously. “I was sort of hoping to be alone.”

“Well, I’m not leaving until I’ve finished smoking, so you better find another place to sulk, then.”

Verna rolled her eyes. She didn’t feel like finding another place, so she took a seat next to Merula.

“Why are you out here?” she asked.

“I wanted a smoke.”

“Obviously.”

“And I wanted to be alone, too,” Merula added and exhaled smoke.

“So why’d you ask me to stay?”

“Figured we could be alone together.”

Verna chuckled. She couldn’t help it. “Alright.”

They fell silent for a while. Verna thought of how Merula had kissed her not two weeks ago in a corridor in the dungeons, and how neither one of them had talked about it since. After a while, Merula stumped out her cigarette with her boot. Of course she was wearing boots with her dress.

“Do you want to dance?” she asked. Verna stared at her.

Merula waved a hand in front of her face. “Hello?”

Verna cleared her throat. “Dance? Here?”

“Why not?”

“There’s no music.”

“Lucky for you, I can fix that,” said Merula, and started to hum a slow melody.

“Merlin,” Verna said.

“Hey, you’re the one who helped me into the frog choir.”

“Alright, fine, let’s dance,” Verna agreed. “But no Celestina Warbeck.”

Merula laughed and got up. She extended a hand and Verna took it, following her.

Merula pulled her along to the center of the small courtyard.

“You look pretty,” Verna said.

“Shut up.”

“I’m serious.”

Merula looked up at her and sighed. “Thank you, so do you.”

Verna smiled and Merula pulled her close. They looked at each other and Verna’s stomach kept doing somersaults. Slowly, they started to dance. It was something like a waltz but neither one of them cared much for the technicalities of getting it right. Merula started to hum the melody again. After a while, they were mostly just swaying, with Merula’s head against Verna’s shoulder.

“Hey,” she said and Merula looked up, falling silent. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

“I hate this holiday.”

“Clearly.”

“You know what, Malinda? You’re such a twit.”

Now it was Verna’s turn to laugh. “You’re dancing with a twit.”

Merula stopped in her tracks.

“Oh, come on,” Verna continued.

Merula glared at her. Verna assumed she was trying to come up with something witty to say, but instead, she grabbed her face and pulled her down into a kiss. Verna kissed her back, after all, it was what had been going through her mind on a loop ever since the Slytherin common room party a couple of weeks ago.

Merula pulled back slightly to look at her. Her expression had softened. “Happy Valentine's Day, Malinda,” she said, and kissed her again.

fin.
