Who: Padma and Stephen When: BACKDATED - Thursday, September 3rd Where: The Pitch What: Padma wants to yell at Stephen for his journal post.
Padma hated being the center of attention. She was content being overlooked. It helped that Pati was so outgoing and popular. People gravitated to Pati and Padma could remain in the library with her books. It worked for her. It was how she wanted things. And Stephen knew that.
So why in the world he had decided to make such a public announcement of his feelings was beyond her. She couldn't comprehend him having those feelings in the first place. And if he did, he should have come to her. Padma was fuming. She couldn't stand the idea of going back into the castle. People would all be staring.
And so she went to the only place Padma knew no one would think to look for her. The Quidditch pitch. She sat in the stands, her journal open in her lap and her head in her hands. Stephen was coming to talk to her and Padma had no idea what to say.
