One, Two, Three....

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa tucked a strand of her light hair behind her ear before she fiddled with her half up-do ponytail to make sure it hadn't gotten messed up while she was outside. She chewed a piece of gum lightly and leaned her tall frame against a building as she waited for Leo to show up so he could hang out with him today like they had planned. As usual she wore a Casual Cute outfit that allowed her be comfortable and still look cute enough to be seen by her boyfriend. Her crystal blue eyes scanned both end of the streets before she lowered her gaze onto her polished nails, she didn't want to seem desperate but she was tired of waiting alone. 'I wonder if we'll run into...' Vincent crossed her mind again and she shook the thoughts out before they completely invaded her mind and she ended up ruining her day with Leo, crushing on one boy while dating another was not fun business.

"What was I thinking?" She scratched her head again, and spoke to herself boredly, it's not like he was actually interested in her in the first place, so why did she always feel so bad when she was out with Leo instead of him. With one last sigh she pushed the thoughts away completely and pushed herself away from the building wall and stood with poise, there was no use looking like scum just because she was upset that she lost her chance.

Leo was glad to be in the slightly warmer New Zealand weather, compared to the wet and cold that waited for him back home - although it was becoming slightly warmer. The Gryffindor had persuaded his parents to let him stay with his older sister for a few days before returning back to Hogwarts after their mid-term break. He found it hard to believe that he would be graduating from Hogwarts in a matter of months, it seemed other seemed like yesterday when he was a first year, sitting on the 3 legged stool and being sorted into Gryffindor, one of the best moments of his life.

His last day in New Zealand was drawing close and Leo couldn't believe how quickly the time had gone by but he knew what he would be doing and without a word of where he was going to Kira he left his sister's house and made his way into Brightstone. The place was a lot more crowded from what he was used too, but he knew it was due to the school having their Brightstone Weekend. Pulling his leather jacket over his arm he began to look out for the one person he came to see. Alyssa Snow! Well that's one day he'll never forget, the day he met her. He had never been attracted to a girl like the way he was to her but he didn't mind and with many letters back and fourth they had finally decided to go out. Sure he knew it was going to be difficult but he would do anything just to be with Alyssa.

Glad that she had finally got some time off school so the two could meet up he made his way to where they decided to meet. Seeing her beautiful blonde locks a smile spread across his face. Walking up to her he lowered his head and gave her a kiss, one that lingered, he had been wanting to do that since they planned to meet up, "Hello gorgeous!" he said, pulling away from her, taking in her beauty.

Alyssa turned her head and let a a pretty smile when she finally heard the voice she had been waiting around to hear for hours. Turning she barely was ready for the kiss that was given to her by Leo and turned a light shade before she rubbed her cheek shyly, the kiss didn't have the same feel that it had when she had kissed him but she still thought it was nice anyways. "Aren't you adorable today." She embraced Leo quickly before she released him and tugged on her shirt a little to smooth out any possible wrinkles, even if Leo seemed to think she was already beautiful, she didn't want to look scummy in front of him and make it seem like she was any less perfect than she already felt whenever she thought of how much she screwed everything up for herself. Letting her crystal blue eyes gaze up at him, she had to admit that he was adorably cute and sweet....but he just wasn't Vincent. 'I'm such an idiot.' Alyssa mentally smacked herself, she needed to focus on her boyfriend. Especially now that Leo was here and he would probably catch on if was spacing.

"So sorry it's taken so long for us to meet up, I've been crazy busy. What have you been up to lately?" Trying to distract herself from rabid fan girl thoughts she grabbed Leo's hand and gently began to pull him off into a random direction, it didn't really matter where they went...as long as they enjoyed each other's company. "Dude I hope you like shopping." She muttered and she gently pulled him along, either way she was going to buy something on this trip, in fact she was eying a really cute pair of shoes that she figured she would end up buying before the end of this day.

Leo couldn’t help but smile like a fool as he looked at Alyssa, how could he not? She was so beautiful and she was his, oh how all his friends back at Hogwarts envied him, no one compared to her. He returned her brace eagerly, not wanting to let go but as he knew all good things had to come to an end eventually. He waited for her to stop fixing at her clothes, he saw no need for it she was gorgeous whatever way she looked. His eyes locked on hers for a single moment and his heart melted as he gazed into the beautiful blues.

Putting thoughts out of his head he coughed slightly before answering her question. “Oh no, don’t apologise. I understand how busy you are.” he answered, maybe a bit too quickly, he wanted to see Alyssa so badly but he knew she had other things to attend too and he didn’t want to pressure her and possibly make her want to break up with him. “Oh nothing interesting. Studying for my NEWTs and making plans for after Graduation.” he told her, keeping his life story since their last meeting short, he didn’t want to bore her. As he talked he felt Alyssa taking his hand and leading him through the busy streets of Brightstone, he squeezed it back gently smiling down at her as he did so. Leo let out a light chuckle as her words reached his ears, “Anything for you beautiful.” he said, glad he had saved up some money to please his girlfriends shopping standards. What kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn’t buy her whatever she wanted?

Alyssa stopped pulling Leo to give him an amused smile, this boy acted like he was hit by one of cupids arrows or something. He didn't even seem to notice how odd he was acting around her, which she figured was caused by him getting sucked in by her Veela charm. That charm had to be one of the most annoying things in the world, especially when a good portion of the time she ended up using it men on pure accident. 'He's just like the rest of them..' Alyssa thought bitterly to herself when she turned and started to softly pull Leo towards a shop she was interested in visiting, while doing so she could only wonder if Vincent had thought of her the same way as Leo and every other guy had. Some pretty little Veela girl who could make all the other guys jealous. "Let's go in here okay?" She asked softly before she opened the door and pulled him inside, at least Leo was cute and sweet to her, otherwise she wouldn't tolerate it and leave him hanging. Stopping when she reached the guys section of clothing, she decided she wanted to help him shop rather than focus on her, Alyssa knew her wardrobe didn't need fixing.

"Okay, red is totally your color." She smiled and brought a hand up to pinch his cheek, before she went to go searching in the rack next to her, as she searched what Leo said to her finally hit fully, she had almost forgotten he was Seventh year. Her eyes clouded a little and her lip puckered out, if he was graduating this year, did that mean he wasn't going to come back to see her? "Oh man, your graduating soon aren't you?" Her voice was curious but still hint with a bit of sadness, she felt so young compared to him right now. Even if she was pretty close to him in height, she felt like he was a stranger in age suddenly, it was almost scary. "Your going to come and visit right?" She asked, suddenly finding herself wanting to not make eye contact with him so he wouldn't have to see how bummed she really was. Her real question was yet to be found yet though; was she more upset that he might leave, or that she knew that she had screwed things up with Vincent? 'Well, technically Vincent doesn't know about Leo yet, so I guess it could be fixed easily.' She almost hated herself for not just telling the boy she was crazy about him, but she hated herself even more for not realizing that she liked him before she decided to date Leo. "This stinks." Alyssa huffed and blew a breath out of her soft lips, all her motivation to shop had suddenly disappeared into nothingness.
