Give Your Heart A Break

[Marisol Woods]

Even though school had started and they were back in the same place, Marisol hadn't had a chance to spend much time with her boyfriend lately. She generally kept away from him during a full moon week because she didn't want him to catch on to her condition and then the other half of the time was spent at Quidditch practice or scheming up with her two best friends who unfortunately hated Octavian. Marisol was sad that she couldn't hang out with all three of her guys at the same time.

With the trio planning their break into the Ravenclaw room, she had seriously neglected Octavian so today she made sure to cancel all her other plans and hang out with only him. She had sent him a note to meet her at the lakefront where she had placed a picnic blanket down for them and a basket of food that the house elves had made her because she was pretty close with them. Just before Octavian arrive Marisol made sure to put on her cardigan to cover up any of her scars and happily waited to see her boyfriend again.

Despite all odds, Octavian was happy. At least when he ignored the fact he was engaged to be married to someone who wasn't his girlfriend. It was an arrangement he wanted out of but he didn't know where to begin, for now he just wanted to focus on Marisol. He had received a note from his fellow Gryffindor asking him to meet her at the lake so Octavian made his way out of the common room and down towards the lake. He was eager to see his girlfriend, he knew she had been through a lot and taking a lot of abuse from his sister, he couldn't believe she was still with him.

Thankfully it was quite warm that day as Octavian had rushed out to the grounds in his haste to see Marisol. He found her, as promised at the lakefront. He snuck up behind her and took his seat, leaning against her just enough so she knew he was there. "Hey beautiful," Octavian said leaning over to kiss her cheek.

Marisol had just finished popping a grape into her mouth when she felt someone lean up against her from behind and she smiled once she heard Octavian's voice. "Hey!" she said happily, turning to kiss his cheek in return. "How are you?" she asked. She was happy to see him now after having been so busy before and her smile reflected that. She was glad that Octavian didn't push her for questions on where she was because she could just say she was with Wyatt and Asaiah and that was all the explanation they needed for the subject to be dropped. She wondered what it would take for her best friends to start liking Octavian so she could hang out with all three of them at some point.

Octavian shrugged as he took a seat next to Marisol. She had been a little awol lately, no doubt she had been spending time with Wyatt and Asaiah, neither of whom liked him very much which had the potential to make things difficult between him and Marisol but so far it had not impacted their relationship which seemed to be going very well. "I'm good, the holidays were weird you know?" He said vaguely. The last thing Octavian wanted to tell Marisol was that he had spent most of the holidays with Camelia, getting to know her, as it didn't paint the picture of someone trying to get out of his engagement, as truth be told Octavian didn't know how to go about it. "How are you? You and the boys got into much trouble lately?"
