Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

Felicity's cheeks reddened a bit more as she sat there next to Simon, leaning against him as he let his arm fall against her body. It was warm and the weight welcoming as he offered her comfort after everything that had happened. To think they'd only just begun to really get to know each other on this train ride. Not long ago, he'd merely been a face she recognized, someone she knew she'd shared a class with at one point or another and nothing more. But now? Now there was something deeperan alliance, a bond and, when she thought a bit more on it, most definitely a friendship. She owed him a lot for his act of cunning valor that he'd displayed with Kyle. It had been a sight to behold and no acquaintancenot even friendly oneshad ever gone to such lengths for her in the past. Not for anything. Perhaps, Felicity mumbled almost inaudibly, smiling as her eyes remained fixed on her lap and her cheeks continued to burn. Simon's words touched her as he said them. Finally, she shifted a little and turned to look upon his face. It truly had been an eventful day, everything unfolding in ways she hadn't quite expected. Her day had started out dreadfully when her parents' car had gotten the flat and she had to say her goodbyes prematurely and walk in the rain. But she hardly could think on that now. She could hear the wind howling outside the window as the rain pelted the train. The storm was definitely getting worse, but at least they were inside. And now that she was in the company of someone like Simon, she could almost forget about her earlier troubles of the day. Felicity grabbed one of her licorice whips that was nearby and brought it up to her mouth. She began to nibble on the end of it as she peered into Simon's eyes. Muggle studies? she stated more than asked. Well, I never took it since it's an elective and being muggle-born, there isn't a need... Her voice trailed and she tapped her chin. You know, she said, her expression turning thoughtful. I could tell you all about muggles, if you want. She giggled a bit, her worries about Kyle nearly forgotten. Just then, Felicity let go of her skirt hem with her free hand and touched Simon's leg, her body moving a bit closer to his. She tilted her head as she nibbled on her treat, her eyes going wide as she looked up at him in wait for an answerpreferably an approving one. My parents aren't anything flashy. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a librarian, Felicity spoke, her voice soft. Maybe that's why I love to read, she added, talking mostly to herself. She giggled a little and shrugged, her hand still resting on Simon's leg. No matter though. But I can tell you about that and what my home is like, the things we have there. I even have muggle pictures in my trunk! She exclaimed, her voice showing enthusiasm. I can show you those. They don't move about like magical photos, so you might find them boring. But they are interesting all the same, she said with a nod. I can show you lots of things, well, if you want me to. Felicity blushed, her eyes moving to her hand that was touching Simon's leg. Gasping softly, she bit down on her lip and hesitantly pulled her hand back to her lap and began to fidget with her skirt once again.
