It had happened so innocently at first. With the first sip of his pumpkin juice, Zara Flint crept into his head. Flattening out the front page of the Daily Prophet, he remembered how she'd looked that night at the ball, in that dress, simple but elegant. A small smile formed at the thought.

He raised his gaze to look across the great hall to the Slytherin table, and was taken aback by what he saw. Zara looked positively... radiant. She had an ethereal glow to her, and the mere sight of her sent his heart rate skyrocketing. Blatantly staring at her now, he watched her laugh, the corners of her eyes crinkling slightly in amusement. Zara Flint was, simply put, a goddess among peons at the Slytherin table. It was only when a sleepy looking fifth year bumped into him and apologized wearily that he realized he hadn't been breathing, and his lungs gratefully sucked in a breath of air.

He felt a strange, almost physically forceful pull to go over and sit with her, though he restrained himself from doing so; he supposed it wouldn't be appreciated by a large majority of the Slytherin table if he stopped by for a visit. So he restrained himself, forcing himself to eat the food before him, though he could hardly focus on what he was doing. When he did manage to force his gaze away from her, it was only for a brief time before his eyes snapped back to her figure. Her beauty was overwhelming. Poor Braden couldn't help but stare in a manner quite unlike his usually gentlemanly one.

Braden watched her cheeks darken at his comment, and his grin widened. That blush was more lovely than roses in bloom.

The Gryffindor almost jumped at the jolt of electricity he felt as she placed her hand upon his forehead. If he hadn't been warm before, he certainly was burning up now, his heart beating erratically. No one had ever had this sort of effect on him before, and he had to admit he liked it. "I'm fine," he told her, hoping that wouldn't make her remove her hand.

	Zara let her hand drop from his head. "You feel kind of warm, nothing to have a fit about, but maybe you should get it checked out. I can walk up with you if you want." She said softly. Zara was really worried about him, he was acting odd and he was starting to scare her a little, all she wanted was for him to be okay, and he wasn't acting okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It took a great deal of effort not to frown when Zara's touch was removed from his forehead. There was still a faint buzzing left over from the contact, but he felt distinctly colder without it.

"Nah, I'm fine," he assured her. "Never felt better, actually." And it was true. It was like he was wandering around on cloud nine. He had a bounce in his step, and that stupid smile on his face that no one would be able to pry into a frown. "Did I mention how lovely you look today? Did you do something different with your hair?"

"Braden, what is going on?" She asked him with a worried, confused, nearly nervous look. She put her hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, I think you need to go to the Hospital wing." He wasn't acting like himself, and she didn't really know what to do. It was one thing telling her she looked pretty at the ball, another when he mentioned it more than once at breakfast on a normal day.

Braden's unbreakable smile faded slightly at her insistence. He hardly even felt the jolt of her touching him once more as he took in the concern upon her features. She was worried about him. The last thing he wanted was to see her upset.

"Er- no. I'll just go up to my dorm for a while," he muttered, easing away from her touch. "Lay down or... something." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he stood. "I'll see you in class, I guess."

Zara watched him carefully... "Braden." She said softly standing up as well. "Are you sure? Do you want me to walk you back?" Zara had no idea what was wrong with him, but one thing was for sure, she had no idea what was wrong with him.

She was a little confused by the way he was acting as well, he wasn't acting like himself at all. She just wanted to make sure that he was okay.

	"Nah," he assured her, not wanting to have to cope with her worried gaze upon him the entire way up to Gryffindor tower. He would have liked to have spent more time with her, but such was life. "I'll be fine, Zara. Finish eating." Stepping back from the table, he offered her a smile. "I'll see you later, okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zara gave him a worried look but nodded. "If you are sure." She said softly. She wanted to check to see if he had a temperature again, but just didn't think he'd be okay with that. "I'll see you later, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent)
