BACKDATED because I'm an idiot!
Who: Shane and Sam
What: Go to Hogsmeade together
When: The day of the Hogsmeade trip
Where: Meeting Sam in the courtyard and then going to Hogsmeade
Why: Cuz SHE asked him cuz he couldn't find the words to ask her.
Rating: TBD
Status: BACKDATED, in progress, and closed to all but those two.

Shane waited in the courtyard. All morning long he had paced from wall to wall of his dorm. He had changed his clothes twice and decided on jeans and a blue t-shirt. Over his shirt he wore his dark jean jacket. He went no where without it when he wore casual threads. Butterflies swarmed in his stomach. He saw he coming from the corner of his eye and looked to the sky, trying to gain composure. He would not allow himself to come off as an idiot. She probably already thought he was a dork for not getting the words to ask her out right. It took a lot for Shane to get excited over something, but very little for him to make a fool of himself. Now that he was excited and with his clumsiness mixed together, it was fated for disaster. But the sight of her made everything ok.

Samantha gave herself a last look over, before deciding that Shane would be waiting on her forever if she took any longer. She wore jeans and a pink shirt with a white shirt underneath it, plus a white jacket that she wore over it. After all it was beginning of October, she was sure it'd be a little cold outside.

She could feel the butterflies growing within her stomach. Take a few deep breaths, she tried to calm herself down a little. It's just Hogsmeade..with Shane. Shane. Who knew Samantha could get nervous over a..was it a date? Samantha was the one that had asked him, shouldn't she know? Trying not to think too much, she pushed it away from her mind once she reached the courtyard and saw that Shane was already there. Smiling she went up him, thinking he was probably as nervous as her.

"Hello, Shane." Samantha greeted cheerfully.

It took ages for Shane to reply to her simple greeting. He just starred down at her like an idiot. His eyes searched her face as he searched for the words. Just say "Hello!" It's easy. H-E-L-L-O! The voice inside his head screamed at him. "Uhh...Hi!" He finally blurted out. He sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead. Swallowing deeply, he repeated the words, reassured this time. "Hi there Sam."

He wanted to bang his head against the nearest tree. He wanted to jump in the freezing lake and not come up until he was sure he could start and finish a complete sentence without screwing up. It was just Samantha. But that was no reason at all. Sam was Sam, girls were girls, and that was all Shane needed to make a fool of himself. "Ready to go?" he asked, trying to interupt his own thoughts.

Samantha smiled when he blurted out his greeting, she wouldn't laugh at him though. She felt just as nervous has he did, though maybe she was better at hiding it. "Yeah, I'm ready." Waiting for him to start walking fist, then she'd walk by his side behind a group of students that were heading to Hogsmeade also.

"So, um." Samantha started to say then realized she didn't know what to talk about now. "Is there any place you would like to go first?"

Shane began to walk and he looked to his side, glancing at her as she walked beside him. He stood so much taller than her. She was so small compared to him. Shane was pretty large. He was very muscular due to Quidditch and the hobby of working out. He also got his height from his father, but Shane was slightly taller than him, standing at six feet six inches.

His muscles began to loosen a bit while he walked. "It doesn't really matter to me where we go. I need some ink, that's for sure. Maybe some candy? But you choose where we go first, ladies choice," he stated, proud to finish a complete sentence without pausing. He was the perfect gentleman. "So...how have you been?" He asked, desprite to end the awkward silence.

"Why thank you," Samantha replied as they both continued to walk, getting closer to the village. "I need to get some candy as well, though I was thinking we'd save that for last or else I'll eat it as the day goes by," she replied laughing a little. "Maybe the Three Broomsticks first? I've been craving a butterbeer all morning."

He was being a perfect gentleman, one of the many reasons Samantha liked Shane. "I've been alright, been a little tired lately, late night homework sessions and Prefect rounds." With a small shrug, she looked back over to Shane and smiled, "How about you? How have you been?"

"Thinking ahead," Shane stated, pointing his index finger at her. "Good thinking." Now he really sounded like an idiot, saying thinking twice in one sentence. But he brushed it off. That's what he got for trying to play it cool. He should have talked to Tristan or Braden before coming. They would have helped him, informed him on ways of capturing her heart. "The Three Broomsticks sounds great," he agreed. "One time," he began a short story. "I drank five butterbeers in a half an hour. It was a bet ofcourse, and I won. But the bad thing was, I really had to go to the restroom after it all." He could have smacked him self in the forehead. In fact, he did. He kept his palm against his warm forehead for quite a while, closing his blue eyes as he walked. "Sorry, too much information," he apologized.

"How am I?" He asked. "I'm....I'm doing okay. I'm not allowing myself to get stressed out about all of this school stuff. It's just a waste of time to me." He paused thinking of somehting else to add. "Being a prefect must be pretty hard, huh?" He asked. "I know I couldn't do it."

Shane opened the door for Samantha as they walked into The Three Broomsticks. He let her pick the table.

Samantha instantly took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Don't apologize, that's cool that you won," she replied with a smile. "and if I drank that much, I'd be the same way." It was almost sad to see Shane put himself down so much, grinning she looked at him. "It's not so bad, just trying to keep students from fighting each other and making sure no one is breaking the rules."

Once they walked into the Three Broomsticks, she picked a nice table for the both of them. When they sat down she leaned towards Shane. "So I have a deal for you, if you can go without apologizing for something, I'll buy you a present, okay?"

Shane's eyes darted towards his hand in which she held on to. He liked that gesture. He returned the squeeze and decided he would like to hold on to it a bit longer. He grinned down at her. She didn't seem to mind how wierd he was being around her. Nodding, as she told him about her main duties as a prefect, he opened his mouth to say somehting, but closed it. Two seconds later he opened it up again and actual words came out this time. "I couldn't think of anyone who would be a better prefect than you," he complimented. Shane was impressed with himself. His brain and mouth were actually working together for once.

Shane released her hand and pulled her chair our for her when they got to The Three Broomsticks. His dark eyesbrows rose when she stated she was proposing a deal. He was up for almost anything. "So I can't apologize the entire rest of the date?" He asked her, trying to understand the deal before he agreed. "Ok...Deal." Couldn't she have picked something easier? He thought it over, the deal was made. He reached out his hand for her to shake. He wondered why she would have proposed such...maybe he was getting a little annoying with his apologices. He smiled at her, showing his long,white teeth. "You are one interesting girl," he complimented. "So....what would you like...butterbeer?"

Samantha bit her lip and gazed down. Interesting girl.. What did that mean? Was it a good thing? Well, he did smile so it couldn't have been bad could it? She had hoped it was a good thing that he found her interesting.. That word seemed to follow her a lot. His question interrupted her thoughts, "Oh yes, butterbeer would be great." Samantha smiled. "Good luck trying to get Madam Rosmerta's attention," she grinned as she looked over to the witch who was taking orders from another group of students.
