#hufflepuff boy

Without hesitation, the young man made a running leap up, allowing himself to fall on his side and slide over the varnished wood with far more grace and finesse than he’d ever thought he was capable of. It all lined up exactly as he’d planned, the trajectory of his hops playing out just how they had in his incredibly impulsive head. 

Robeless, and now a bit disheveled, the Hufflepuff came to stop directly in front of his target. He flashed the boy a wild grin, head propped against one hand and the other gripping tight a copy of Romance 101 at his hip. Breathless, he gave a triumphant chortle.

“Darling, are you on the menu? Because you’re looking like the main course.” 

The Ravenclaw looked up from the parchment he had been skimming and watched as a Hufflepuff slid across the polished wood with surprising grace. For a brief moment he simply looked down at the boy stretched across the table before him, wild grin in place and a copy of Romance 101 clutched against his side.

Then the corners of Felix' mouth slowly began to lift.

"Oh!"

The sound escaped him in a delighted gasp. His finger lifted at once, pointing toward the cover as recognition sparked brightly across his face. "Chapter six!" he said without hesitation as he leaned forward. "Right before the banana cream chapter! Ppage thirty-two, if I remember correctly!" The corners of his mouth lifted further.

"The food chapters were some of my favourites!"

Before the Hufflepuff could respond, Felix was already reaching into his satchel beside the bench. His own copy appeared a moment later. He flipped it open, his finger gliding quickly through the familiar sections as he searched.

"Hold on! Just a moment-"

The pages rustled quietly as he turned them.

Felix' gaze moved between the book and the boy on the table, as though comparing the Hufflepuff to the instructions printed on the page. When he found the passage he wanted, his lips curved wider.

"There it is."

He lifted the book slightly and cleared his throat. His eyes flicked up again to the lad spread before him.

"Why don't you let me sit on your face and then you can eat your way to my heart?"
