[That was true enough. Ellie's intention in dragging Dave to Hogsmeade might have started out simple enough, but something had changed regardless. Though, it was a good change, she hoped.]

Only a small nation? I guess we'll have to go bigger next time. [She laughed, swinging their hands slightly.] We could go get some Butterbeer...?

[Definitely a good change, and that's why Dave is being as polite as he can when it comes to the subject. He's dying to ask, to check how real this is, but... one step at the time.

The swinging of their hands is totally a step in the right direction. He smiles like an idiot to her.]

I'll make sure to bring my trunk to fill it up next time. [He hands her a chocoball as he speaks.] The Three Broomsticks then?

The Three Broomsticks.

[She nodded in agreement before unwrapping the candy and popping it in her mouth.

The walk didn't take long and Ellie didn't mind taking it in a comfortable silence. She had to collect a few thoughts before they really got down to matters. She wanted to say the right things and not blow things before they really got a chance to start.]

[Dave isn't sure if this kind of silence can be considered comfortable or not, but it definitely feels well enough for him. He unwraps some chocolate frogs for himself, always keeping an eye on the cards before putting them away.

The Three Broomsticks is packed with students as always, but they still manage to find a table on the back. It's sad, having to let go of her hand so they can sit, but still necessary. He puts the bag of candy in the middle of the table so both can grab from it, and, after ordering two bottles of butterbeer, turns to Ellie with the same goofy smile on his face.]

Thanks. For... picking me up and helping me get here... For not noticing I was missing.

[Ellie grabbed another chocolate, unwrapping it slowly before looking up at Dave again. There was a grin on her face and she shrugged her shoulders.]

Well, someone has to pull you away from your precious library every once in a while. [The instinct to joke was strong as always, but her smile steadies into something more honest.]

Besides, it's more fun when you're around.

My precious library is gonna be jealous.

[He gladly chuckles at her joke, not minding it in the least. How could he? Her sense of humor is one of the things he likes about her.

An eyebrow is raised at the comment that follows, not expecting it even after they held hands.]

Wait, wait-- that's my line! You're the fun one, I'm just the nerd that follows you around like a lost puppy.

Maybe I like being followed around by lost puppies. [She nudges him, grin still on her face. She didn't like the way he'd put himself down, even if it was just a joke, but saying so was more difficult than playing along. But they'd said they needed to talk, hadn't they? Really talk.]

You're line or not, haven't you ever considered that the feeling might be mutual?

[He allows himself to smile again when she nudges him, and... yeah, that's a bit of red on his cheeks. It's hard for him to wrap his mind around the idea of him standing a chance, so her reminders are very welcome.]

Ah, that-- I... no, I haven't. [Embarrassed, he looks down at the collectible card in his hands, trying to think of a way to sound less pathetic.] I mean, obviously we are friends but this... this isn't about that anymore, is it?

Don't get me wrong. You're a great friend and hanging out with you is fun...

[Wait. Crap. That sounds more like she's breaking up with him or something. Recover Harrison!]

What I mean is that I like you, Dave. I'd like to try and see if we can be something more. You know?

[Flustered, she buries her face in her hands.] Oh god. That sounded super sappy, didn't it?

[He tenses when she says that - it definitely sounds very wrong. Thank goodness she quickly corrects herself, leaving Dave staring but with a growing smile, ending it with a chuckle when she hides her face. Usually it's him the one doing that.]

So cute...

[He feels like he can say that freely now. He reaches out and takes her hands ways from her face to hold them in his, giving them a squeeze.]

I like you too. And I'd love to be sappy together. ...which by itself also sounds sappy as hell, yeah.

[Ellie looks almost horrified when he pulls her hands away. How could any of that have possibly been cute? She was sure her face must have been a blotchy mess, not to mention her hair had probably gathered a cobweb from the secret tunnel they'd just taken.

Definitely not cute.

But the way he looked at her, the way he smiled...it was pretty convincing.]

Okay. So this is really happening, right? I didn't OD on chocolate on the way over?

[Dave can fail at many social things, but his affection is definitively genuine. His smile is a combination of glee over what's going on and amusement at the fact she's kinda freaking out when usually that's his deal.]

Yeah, it-- it really is happening. I want you to be my girlfriend, because apparently I do stand a chance after all. ...aaand of course I had to add that for the extra pathetic points.

[She nudged him again for the self-depreciating remark, but that couldn't stop her from smiling. This entire endeavor had turned out even better than she's ever would have thought.]

You always stood a chance. You were too busy putting your nose into books to notice.

[He winces at the nudge, not because it hurts but because he feels like he's being scolded. At least this time it doesn't last long, because with the current situation, he can't stop smiling either.]

I like my books. And they like me back, which is quite an accomplishment in my friendship ranks. [After a moment of hesitation, he reaches up to tuck away some hair behind her ear.] I promise I like you better.

[Her cheeks turn pink, and although she'd grinning Ellie gives Dave a solemn nod.]

Oh, good. I always like to know where I stand when there are books involved. [It's not even that much of an exaggeration given her parents obsessions.]

[So freaking cute. Even if she's kidding, Dave shakes his head, wanting to add more, squeezing her hand once again.]

Well, you can be sure you're the most important to me and this-- [Gulp.] --this date? It's... it's a dream.

[She gives him a playful nudge, partially as an excuse to scoot closer to him.]

Careful, or the romantic mush sensor spells in here might go off. [Despite her teasing she rests her head on his shoulder.]

It is nice though. Finally knowing.

[It may be teasing but Dave can't help worrying a bit at first... until he feels her head on his shoulder and his heart starts beating faster than a snitch. This is truly amazing! And it also sends the worry away - the gesture means she likes his mushing, right?]

You know me, biggest sap to ever live in the Ravenclaw tower. [After some hesitation, he slowly (and very awkwardly of course) puts his arms around her shoulders, trying to return the intimacy.] Just nice?

[See, he can tease too.]

[She laughs and nudges him gently.] Do you want me to start listing the other adjectives I could apply to it? Honestly, it might take me a while if I got started. Maybe we'd make it back to the school in time? Maybe.

Maybe I do? I'm not sure I want to go back to the school, I'm rather comfortable right now.

[Seeing as she isn't turning down physical affection, he tries for a bit more, nuzzling the top of her head.]

Mm. [He had a point. It was very comfortable snuggling close to him. She didn't have much of an incentive to get back to school quickly now.]

Okay. But only if you contribute to the list.

I can do that. [With her snuggling close is really easy to get sappy with adjectives. He feeds her a piece of chocolates as he thinks of where to start.]

This is... nice. Amazing. Great. Stomach turning. Mind blowing. Heart accelerating. Marvelous. Magical. Romantic. Lovable. Enchanting. Relieving. Nerve wrecking a little bit too, why not.

[She can't help chuckling a bit as the chocolate melts in her mouth.] Man, you blew my list out of the water. But what did I expect from a top marks kind of guy like you.

[She found his hand and wrapped their fingers together.] But I agree with each and every one of them.

I don't know, what did you expect?

[He's teasing, of course. He starts feeling all the adjectives he just said at the same time when she wraps their fingers together, and he doesn't waste time in taking her hand up to his mouth to kiss it.]

Because maybe I can try and meet those expectations.

Well, I'd say I expect you to remember important dates with that big brain of yours, but then again you forgot that today was even Hogsmeade day.

[She's teasing, too. She didn't mind reminding him about things, since he almost always made up for forgetting.]

I just expect you to be how you always are with me. Except...maybe a bit more kissing?
