FLURRIES of witches and wizards bypassed them in streams, like water cutting around a rock that would not move. The two of them clung to each other as though they hadn’t seen the other all summer. Which, they hadn’t. It had been the first time Betty hadn’t spent a single day with him for those two whole months since she was eleven. It surprised her how viciously she’d MISSED him, like Cedric was the half to her she’d never realized she needed to survive.
Or maybe survive was too strong a word. It was just… the summer had been so… dull without him, like a page from a coloring book before it was filled in.
She felt his words against the top of her head, her face mashed uncomfortably into his shoulder. She didn’t care. Her arms held him tighter, before inevitably leaning back. “ Me too. Let’s never do that again? Seriously. We should plan next year’s summer from today so that never happens ever again. ”
But next year, would he be with Cho still? He’d spent the summer with her instead this year, as was the “rule” when you were someone’s boyfriend. Or so Betty had heard. Experience failed her there; she’d never had a boyfriend that lasted more than a few weeks, two months at most.
“ We should board, ” she said, nodding at the engine behind them. Every year she forgot how startlingly tomato-y it was; like someone had poured a basin of tomato puree over it and decided to leave it that way. She LOVED it so much her heart clenched a little, then, it finally relaxed. She was HOME.
