Still Falling For You

[Teagan Riley]

It was only in the middle of the semester that another problem had popped up in the form of a letter. Jessica requested, or rather, demanded that Teagan should visit her this coming summer school holiday but the Ravenclaw already knows what to answer back to the woman who gave her up. Surely some people would understand her hate for her biological mother but some who are very conservative would curse Teagan to the moon and back and would probably shame her for hating the person who gave life to her. But she didn't need the people's opinion, they didn't know her life. Upon receiving the letter that same day, Teagan constructed a quick answer after class. Decided to use the school owl which was monitored better than her own.

Thankfully, the Owlery was just another set of tower from her common room and the trek up there was easy. Teagan could smell the godawful Owlery getting nearer, she barely get to come here, mostly to send out signed papers if she approves to give money to a specific politician for their campaign and charity events. Upon arriving at the top where the Owls perched, Teagan used a brown barn owl and attached the letter. "Please, don't go home with an answer back. I hate that woman." She murmured at the Owl. Once the Owl flew off, Teagan see to it that Owl was still visible to her.

[Liam Adams]

Liam didn't write home all that much, he did fell guilty about that but never enough to write more. He was sure his mother understood that he was busy, especially now he was in fourth year. OWLs were constantly getting closer, and the demands of Quidditch never stopped. Finally, Liam managed to carve out ten minutes to write a letter. It hadn't been that long since he had been home so there wasn't that much to catch her up on, but he managed to find a few bits, some trivial stuff, lied about about how he was doing post breakup, and suddenly he had a half cheery letter to send home.

The Owlery was a trek, and one Liam didn't like making. Perhaps another reason he didn't write home all that much. Once he reached the owelry he headed over to the perch where his own bird sat. It was a recent gift from his mother, no doubt a not so subtle hint. Liam stroked the owl and reached into his pocket to pull out a treat. "You know where this is going right? Home, there's plenty more of these for when you get back," Liam smiled as he watched the barn owl take flight and exit through the window. The Hufflepuff's smile dropped as he turned to leave the owlery and spotted a familiar blonde haired beauty. "Hello Teagan,"

 

[Teagan Riley]

She was in deep thought when the Owl was nowhere to be seen, not even a speck of a tiny dot in the sky. Teagan was sure Jessica deserve the hate she's giving her but it's like the Ravenclaw was having guilt inside her that she couldn't explain. She was busy explaining to herself her situation when someone greeted her. Teagan frowned curiously because she hadn't even heard anyone come in. She turned around, her gaze caught a familiar face which made her heartbeat bump up a notch. She had been avoiding him since they got back for school and she thought it can happen forever as the castle was too big for them but here he is. With her in the Owlery. Alone. Teagan thought she could escape but Liam acknowledge her first.

"Hi, stranger." She greeted him back with a smile. Teagan had to admit that she missed the Hufflepuff more each and everyday. She'd almost she him with some girl she hadn't met before and her jealously would always win. The blonde Ravenclaw licked her lips as she spoke, "Here to send something?" She asked the very obvious. Teagan had to pinch herself secretly and did a mental note to kick herself after. What would it be today if they're still together? She thought. Maybe the distance between them right now would be just inches rather than a few feet.​
