* ☼ ❝ i think that i could be in love with someone like you. ❞ ft. hermione granger
the rational — and therefore majority — of her brain tells her this is something she could’ve seen coming. hidden behind niceties and their easy conversation , it’s something that’s been there for years. she might’ve even started it , in a grand scheme of things sort of way , when she’d first taken quill to parchment and sent a school owl on it’s way. maybe he had before that , the very moment he’d asked her to the ball. the pang of surprise has no place in her heart , but it makes a home there.
it shouldn’t be unexpected , but she can’t help but feel there’s something distinctly off about it all. it is her standing here , but surely it shouldn’t be. this is something she hears of on a night out with friends catching up , it’s ginny , or hannah , or even luna with her oddities wrapped in romance. she feels rather vividly like she’s fallen through a pensieve swirling with memory of being fourteen and told there must be some ulterior motive for being asked to a dance.
❛ oh. ❜ she says , instead of suggesting he may have the wrong person , which would perhaps seem rude. her cheeks burn. an enormous mix of confusion and elation swirls in her stomach , leaving her feeling mostly nauseous. ❛ could you ? really ? i mean — you’re well aware of how my last relationship went , yes ? ❜
