WHO: Nicole Whitby & Hugo Weasley.
WHAT: Nicole is practicing and Hugo is moping.
WHERE: Quidditch Pitch.
WHEN: Day after the ball.
WHY: Because!
RATING: PG
STATUS: Closed/Complete.

Hugo hadn't gone to the ball the night before, and had pretty much gone to bed early. He'd had a good long sleep, and was up fresh and early, unlike some of his roommates and most of the older Ravenclaws who'd stayed up late the night before due to the ball.

He wasn't scheduled to do prefect duties in Hogsmeade either, and since it was still a Valentine mood in the village, for extended dates from the night before, Hugo decided not to go there either. But it was early yet, so he may change his mind since it would be awhile before he could go into Hogsmeade again.

But Hugo grabbed some early breakfast, and headed off to the one place no one would look for him The Quidditch Pitch. He didn't play, only watched, and it seemed to be a better location to go to study, read, or be by himself. Jess knew his spot by the lake now, and it was too easy to find him in the common room or the library. So the pitch it was. He was carrying his bag now, as he went to go find his regular seat in the bleachers and took out his book to read. Hugo didn't notice if there was anyone else around.

Nic's eyes narrowed at his assessment of himself. "Nonsense." she said. "Bet you'd be fine. Try it some time with me, yeah? I'm sure there's a Quidditch skill there somewhere, just waiting to be pulled out."

She took the time to study his face as he looked down at his feet. He was... quite a good-looking chap, wasn't he? Pretty eyes, and that nose was beautiful. She caught herself then when he'd finished what he'd said, only catching a few words but got the general idea anyway. "Well. She's a bloody masochist, isn't she?" she asked, sighing, before she started to gether her thoughts. "I suppose you have to understand that people don't always know what they want, and more than that, they don't know what's best for them. It's possible that she may not know what a good thing she's just let go, and is going to something that's going to completely mess her up." She straightened then, and placed a comforting hand on his back. "But maybe you should think about your life, too mate. You should try to think if clinging to her is the best thing for you, too. Do you think she's worth all this?"

"I think you'd be hard pressed to find it. I'm a much better bystander, I can assure you," Hugo said. He could foresee bad things if Nicole was able to persuade him.

"I don't... really want to say. I mean, she's doing what makes her happy. I just wish... I could have been enough," Hugo said. He didn't want to say Evan was a bad decision, because what if Hugo was just horrible boyfriend material. He didn't have the experience Evan did.

"She still wants to be friend though. I don't want to hurt her by saying no, because she is my friend too. But I can't be around her right now, so I'm hurting her anyway," he said. Hugo knew he was hurt too, but making the other person hurt too didn't solve anything. "I don't know... I don't know what I want to do."

Nic gave him an encouraging smile, ones that showed off a bit of her dimples. "It's not an inherent trait, mate. It's one of those things that you can work on. I used to believe I was a Chaser. I learned to become a Seeker because I couldn't make it in the team if I didn't." she said, not boasting at all but only being honest. She had worked very hard to get where she was, and she was glad she did. "But if that's what you think, I can definitely respect that. I can definitely see the charm in watching games..."

She sat straighter then, and leaned back against the bleacher. "Don't think of yourself in that light. Not healthy at all, Weasley." Nic said, shaking her head disapprovingly. She didn't have much experience to speak of, but she had a better understanding of those things than anyone would expect. "There's nothing wrong with you. You have to know that. It's her choice if she wants to choose someone else, but don't let that decision run your life. Do what you think is best for you. Be her friend if it would truly make you happy. If not, then I say to hell with her- no offense." She made a peace sign with her hands. "I just think that if she keeps hurting you, you shouldn't be in a relationship with her- friend or otherwise. She can't hurt you if you won't let her, you know..."

"I know actually playing would be more exciting, but just watching a game seems like enough for me to handle," Hugo said with a shrug. The rush, the anticipation, and the excitement! Of hoping your team would win. Watching those bludgers fly. It was insane that people watched something like this actually...

"But I promised her... that'd I'd always be her friend. And I want to be there for her. I just don't know how to reconcile those feelings inside me yet," Hugo said. He knew that someone was going to be disappointed in all of this, and he was more likely to think that it was just going to be him.

Nicole sighed. They could go one like this for hours, just discussing how much he wanted to be with her but not as a friend, and Nicole didn't want that much time wasted. Not that she didn't care about helping him- she did- but it was just apparent that he still had a lot of things to think about. Think while she wasn't there.

"Then it seems you're not ready to have your answers yet." She stood then, beater bat in one hand and the Quaffle tucked under the other. "You have to know what to hold on or let go, Weasley. No one can help make that decision, only you can. When you do, and you need a stranger to talk to again, or maybe hold a pillow while you punch it senseless, find me, yeah?" She started walking backwards, a smile on her face before she waved and ran down the stairs and towards her things.

Now, that was an interesting way to start the morning.
