Hufflepuffs seemed to be vanishing breed within the castle. Maybe it was because the stereotype that puffs where weak and emotional. you would THINK that was a reason to make them with the emo fad going around or was that dieing now. Either way Puffs where more than just gossips. Some where just average students that where easy to get along with.
Paul was one of the later. There was nothing too special about him. well he liked quiditch but that was it. And at the moment he was reading a copy of the Daily Prophet. He found the Iberian Auger boring; especially when it came to what he liked about the News paper.
He was reading the sports pages, but things seemed rather boring elsewhere.
Chika Ran into the Feasting hall she. Boy was she hungry today. Chika had a hard time dealing with all the people and stuff since the quidditch season had ended. She hadn't had much time to eat with meeting new people and doing new things. Chika longed for food but most of all she longed to see a familiar face.
As she rushed into the Feasting hall she tripped, and fell flat on her face. She lifted herself off the ground with her two small arms. When she was slightly lifted off the floor she jumped up and brushed herself off.
As she finished brushing herself off she noticed Paul. This was the familiar face she needed. She ran up to him. " Hay Paul anything good in the Daily Prophet? So Tell me ya gonna be on the puff team next year too? I know you didn't get to play a game but".
Paul looked up when he heard the sound of someone falling on the floor. At first he saw no one but then he saw Chika getting up their eyes met and he returned a smile. She walked over and he put down the paper so he could listen and speak.
"Well, It seems the Irish are doing alright this year." He commented to her first question. "And yes I plan on joining next year I only wish I could have participated this year" He let out a sigh of regret He patted the space nect to him and scooted over a bit inviting her to sit down.
So, what are you up to? Did you get one of those invites to the coming Halloween party too?" He asked curious to know what she might be going as or if she was going with anyone.
" The Irish hm, I love the Irish Glad to here there doing alright this year. They had a bit of a rough streak last year. Japan doesn't have a Quidditch team so I just chose a team to support. It's just too bad we didn't have ya for the games but there's always next year. I love the team so much I can' wait for the next season I want to start now, but that's sorta unreasonable". Chika chucked at her rambling.
Chika nodded at Paul's invite and sat down. the benches were comfortable today. Chika pick up a plate and brought it to her to her face and then put it on the table. The plate filled with food. She saired at the plate. Paul's question snapped her out of her zoning.
" I'm not up to much. I'm just trying to hold up the puffs, ya see our prefect went missing on us after all. Other then that my usual classes". Chika took a bite of an apple. She let the taste linger in her mouth before she swallowed the piece.
" Yes I got an invitation from the school. I was going to wear an Alice in Wonderland costume. I would love to go but no one asked me to go and it's quite lonely to go by ones self but I'll manage to go some how". Chika kept her smile up she had learned to smile even when things got bad.
"Alice in Wonderland eh? Now that sounds cute. I've never been the greatest wih books so i have no clue what to go as." She had said she had no one to go with. The grin that crossed his face almost went Cheshire but he controlled himself pulled himself together. This was his chance. "Going alone is no fun... How about you go with me? Maybe I could come up with something that correlates." He said a little rushed
His eyes shifted from side to side then he whispered in her ear. "Maybe we could make it a date." and his cheeks probably reddening reddening a little. But he did his best to control his composure.
" Yep I love Alice in wonderland. To bad about you not being good with books". Chika chuckled a little. "Oh sorry that was rude of me to laugh". Chika apologized to him. " You would go with me? That would be nice". She smiled brightly this time. " There are plenty of costumes that go with Alice" Chika said babling on.
Chika once again took a small bite of food. Just as she swallowed she saw Paul shift his eyes back and forth. She wondered what he was thinking. Paul's sudden whispering into her ear surprised her. he asked about making it a date. Chika turned Red from ear to ear. A date, that was something she had never gone on. She had heard that they were lovely and romantic from her friends, but. " A date... sure.. why no..t". Chika stumbled on her words. She had never been this nervous before
He smiled at her answer. She had said YES. And his mind started racing through what he knew about Alice in Wonderland, and only one logical character came to mind. "If you're going as Alice I could go as mad as a Hatter." He said playing with the words a little.
Then he paused, twiddled his thumbs and said, "Oh, and thanks for saying yes." A though hit him and then he said "Y...you'rereallypretty" the wordswhere quick and jumbled together and he felt so childish for having said them, and without warning he looked up and gave Chika a quick peck on the cheek. Suddenly the only thing that could mach the color of his face was a Gryfindor's robes.
Chika Smiled at Paul's play on words " Mad as a hatter eh? Did you know because of what hats use to made of hatters would go crazy so the said mad as a hatter." Chika smiled because she knew something for once . Chika was smiled when he thanked her for saying yes. She was smiling happily.
Suddnly Paul mushed words really pretty. No one had Called her pretty before. She was socked by this. But soon after he gave her a peck on the check. Chika sat there motionlessly. She was seachless, and wasn't sure what to do. She bushed and turned red like a rose. "umm." She watched as Paul turned red.
Chika pondered about what to do. Then an idea popped in her head. She hugged Paul and gave him peck on the cheek as well. She wasn't sure if that was the rite move but it had happened.
He was nervous and a little embarrassed at first. It felt so strange, maybe he had gone too far, too fast, and then she turned red. For a moment he though he had embarrassed her which only made him feel bad as if he had done something horribly wrong but then she hugged him.
She returned the kiss. He could feel his face cooling as his face began going back to its normal hew, and his heart which was once nearly beating out of his chest in mortal fear was now calming down and he relaxed a little, and he put his arms around her and returned the hug. Some how he was sure someone was watching. and everything seemed to snap back into focus at once.
He let go, "Um, sorry, I think we got a little carried away there." He said suddenly a little self conscious and wondering if anyone had been paying attention.
Chika was getting redder as the moments went by. Maybe she had puled a wrong move by kissing and hugging him. She hoped he wouldn't hate her. Chika was caught off guard when Paul hugged her. She felt like bursting then suddenly she calmed down.
Everything felt just perfect in that moment. Chika worry's had melted into a smile. Chika was just about to finaly get use to Paul holing her, When he snapped her back into reality. Oh no they had deffinatly gone to far, and people were sure to be watching. Chika puled away at a few centimeters. It seemed like a safe distance. "I'm sorry your right we went to far. I opoligize for any embaresment I gave you". Chika was a bright red again.
She half smiled and fidgeted. This was a happy moment for her. She thought she might have realized her next crush. But she knew it was best if she didn't tell him right now. " Well I hope you will still go to the Halloween party with me. If not I completely understand". Chika stood up and awaited his answer
Paul laughed a little when she talk about still wanting to go with him, which probably sent the wrong message at first but he quickly stopped, leaned close again, and said softly, just above a whisper. "If you don't go with me I'll carry you over my shoulder." He said in jest.
Then he grabbed his goblet which was filled with some semi-sweetened tea, and took a sip.
Chika's face went into a surprised face when Paul said if she didn't go with him he would carry her over his shoulder there. Two things went through her mind. One, she was Glad Paul still wanted to go with her to the party. And two that was it even possible for him to her over his shoulder. Her surprised face was broken up by her laughs. " Well I'm glad you still wanna go with me. This will be such fun."
Chika picked up a Japanese tea cup and sipped green tea from it. When she was done it disappeared. " Well, I must go to class now, I'll catch you later". Chika was about to hug Paul when she remembered what had happened before. Chika stood there waiting for his good bye.
Paul put down his cup and stood up with Chika. "Can't wait. Hope to see you sooner than the dance though." He said. "And good luck with class." He said and then instead of hugging her he bowed. Okay maybe he was being a little presumptuous bout her ethnicity, he hoped it didn't come across as rude or racist. He just thought that hug was a bit much after what just happennd.
" I simply can't wait as well, and me too I hope to see you before the dance as well". Chika smiled brightly. " Yes thank you. Good luck to you in your endeavors as well". Chika watched as Paul took a shaky attempt at her culture. He seemed to do pretty good, with his first attempt. Maybe she could teach him more about her culture in the future, but now was not the time. " Matane, Paul". Chika said but suddenly realized Paul didn't know Japanese " I mean, see you later. That's what matane means". She hoped that explained things for him " Matane, Paul". Chika said again this time knowing he knew what it meant. Chika Swiftly waved her hand as she left the feasting hall.
