Who: Romilda and Zach.
What: hilarity the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL friendship.
When: Tuesday afternoon, just after classes.
Where: hallway, then somewhere more private.
Why: Romilda is nosy and Zach sets off her gaydar.
Warnings: do not eat or drink while reading, your keyboard will suffer.
Dark Arts classes always left Romilda with a bit of a bad taste in her mouth. Not that she wasn't intrigued by them, or talented with them, but she wasn't entirely sure she agreed that they should fit so easily into what was rightfully taught at school. But since everyone was learning them these days, it was important that Romilda know too, if only so she could defend herself against anyone she needed to.
Still, she was in need of a pick-me-up. And - perhaps unfortunately for him - it was Zacharias Smith that caught her eye when she headed out into the hallway after class. He was older than her, and not in her classes, but she had noticed him before. Primarily because the blond set off her gaydar, big time. But he was apparently with Tracey now, and Tracey didn't seem the type to settle for being someone's beard. Zach had officially piqued Romilda's curiosity.
Now it was time to satisfy it. She caught up to him easily and laid her hand (freshly manicured in rainbow colors, from the night before) on his arm to stop him. "Hi," she said a bit too sweetly. "I'm a friend of your girlfriend's. We should talk."
It was a command, not a question. There was an empty classroom nearby, and Romilda headed for it, without letting go of Zach's arm. "By the way," she said conversationally, "Do you go by Zach or Zacharias?"
