*complete, justin finch-fletchley, megan jones, september 1997

Date: 28 September 1997
Characters: Megan and Justin
Location: Paris
Status: Private
Summary: A real, non pretend date
Completion: Complete

Two months ago Megan would never have dreamed that she would actually be living with a bloke in a hotel room all her own. Or that that bloke was the one and only Justin Finch-Fletchley. Indeed, the thought that she would not return to school would have been completely unfathomable barely a month ago. So much had changed in the last two months, not only in her life but in the wizarding world as a whole. Nevertheless, she found herself considerably more comfortable in her new position, even though they had left everything behind. Were she a more nervous character, Megan would likely have wondered whether someone was looking for them, or even cared that they hadn't attended their summons. As it was, Megan was having fun pretending to be dating Justin, although part of her very much wished it was anything but pretending. Plus, kissing Justin was yummy.

Today, however, Megan was rushing back from the nearby grocers. She'd gone out for a while and had stopped by the grocers following on her way back to the hotel. It took a few minutes, but Megan soon made her way up to the their room. "Honey, I'm home," she said with a giggle only a couple of minutes later as she'd opened the door and stepped inside.

Justin couldn't help but grin at that. She liked him too. That was bloody brilliant. Except that when he glanced down at her he noticed she was blushing, and not really looking at him anymore.

"I like you too. A lot. I mean, I have for a while, not just since we've been pretending to date, or anything." Okay, so he could continue to blather on like an idiot, or he could kiss her. Which seemed like a really great idea suddenly. So he stopped walking again, and tilted her head up, brushing his lips tentatively over hers.

Oh, hell, what if he'd misunderstood her? What if she just meant like in the general sense that friends usually liked each other. At least they were standing in the middle of a Muggle street, and she couldn't hex him. Although she did have a variety of other options.

Megan had absolutely no desire to hex hit or do anything to Justin, other than kiss him back. As he'd mentioned liking her, Megan actually managed to get a little giddier, the butterflies in her stomach growing a little bigger as he stopped and turned to face her. She let him kiss her, and closed her eyes as she savoured the moment. It was a real kiss, not that nonsense they'd been pulling for the last few weeks, and he was good. Standing on her toes, Megan slid her hands up Justin's chest and around his neck as she kissed Justin back.

Pulling back she grinned at Justin. "Me too. Since last term." She said, blushing just a little as she looked up at Justin. "Actually you were in the Herbology classroom, Ernie was lecturing you about something, but I dunno, you kind of looked different. Loads cuter, and I I just - I was hoping you'd kiss me, and you're really good and " Megan babbled kind of hoping he'd just shut her up.

Apparently he hadn't misunderstood at all. Because she was kissing him back. It definitely occurred to him that she kissed him back because she wanted to, not because they were pretending, and that made it all the more amazing.

He was a little disappointed when she pulled back, but cheered himself with the thought that she probably wouldn't mind if he did it again sometime. Of course, that was nothing compared to how he felt when she told him that she'd liked him since last term. He'd had no idea, obviously, assuming that she was way out of his league.

"Loads cuter? Really?" he asked a little stunned, because he really didn't think he was much to look at. It seemed impossible really, that she'd like him out of all the blokes she could have fancied, both wizard and Muggle, but he wasn't about to question his luck. Instead he leaned down and kissed her again.
