A Love Story Gone Wrong (Snamione Book 2)

Chapter 3!

:Serenity:

"What the bloody hell am I going to wear?" I groan for the millionth time, going the through my clothes.

"Calm down Seri," Jess says. "The Fashion Queen is here!" She says doing a dramatic bow. I chuckle and shake my head.

"Hey!" I gasp as she pushes me out of the way, heading to my drawers. Jess pulls out wrapped jeans and a black v-cut shirt. Throwing them on the bed she walks away.

"My job here is done. Until makeup!" She squeals. I groan but get dressed quickly.

Jess pulls me to see bed and sits me down. She applies mascara and eye liner and lip gloss. Then ties my hair up in a bun with strands hanging down. I look in the mirror and smile. I look casual, but I look good. "You better go," she says to me. I put my black slip-ons on and head out. When I enter the common room, Marvolo is standing there cross armed and leaning against the wall. He looks at me as I walk past and frowns.

"What?" I ask. Marvolo shrugs so I leave. My hands begin to sweat and I am constantly wiping them on my jeans. Finally I reach the 7th floor and stand at the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. Toby walks around the corner wearing jeans and a button down top, the top four buttons undone.

"Good evening Miss Serenity, you look amazing today," he says kissing my hand. My cheeks flush red.

"Good evening Toby. You look absolutely charming," I say.

"Shall we?" He says offering his elbow. I laugh and wrap my arm around his elbow. He walks to the wall across from the Tapestry and closes his eyes. I raise and eyebrow, but a door appears on the wall. I gasp as we enter. A small table is situated in the middle if the room. Candles lighting up the room, and the floor scattered with rose petals. There are two plates and a dish of pasta between them. "Do you like it?"

"Its amazing!" I say truthfully. Toby leads me to the table and pulls out my chair, and as I sit he pushes it in before sitting himself down.

"I dope you like pasta," he says smirking. "I wasn't sure what to get."

"Pasta is my favorite food," I say smiling. "I can't believe you did this."

"Well I do beautiful things for beautiful women," he smiles at me, taking my hand from across the table. I blush and look down at my lap embarrassed. "Are you hungry?" I shrug. Toby releases my hand and puts a fair portion of pasta on my plate then doing the same for himself. He grabs a bottle of wine from underneath the table and pours it into two glasses. He hands me the glass and raises his own glass. "To a wonderful night." I raise my own glass and tap it with his.

"To a wonderful night," I smile. I take a sip of the wine and my taste buds explode. I close my eyes absorbing the flavor. I hear a quiet chuckle from across the table and open my eyes to Toby smiling at me. "What?"

"What?" He asks.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Your beautiful," he says. "And I enjoy staring at beautiful people." I blush and smile back.

"Well you must enjoy staring at the mirror," I mutter.

"I do that regularly," he laughs. I shake my head smiling and pick up my fork. I stab a piece of pasta and plop it into my mouth. Its so delicious!

"This is amazing!" I gasp.

"Thank-you! I made it myself," Toby smiles at me.

"You made it yourself?" I say amazed.

"I enjoy cooking," he shrugs. I raise my eyebrows and take another bit of pasta in my mouth. Toby finally begins to eat, and his table manners are amazing. "So you seem to be pretty good at Magic." He laughs.

"Yeah my mother was the best in her class," I say laughing.

"I'm honestly not surprised," Toby smiles at me. "Is Ryder as smart as you?"

"He is better at flying than I am," I say smiling. "He is going to try to play Quidditch next year."

"I see. I'm going to try be Seeker," Toby says taking another forkful of pasta.

"Oh yeah. Ryder wants to be Chaser," I say. Man Toby can cook!  Toby takes my end again and holds it while we eat, drawing patterns on my thumb. My heart flutters. I look up to find Toby watching me with a glint of something in his eye.

"What do you want to do when you leave Hogwarts?" Toby asks me.

"I want to work at St Mungo's as a healer," I say. "You?"

"I want to become an Auror," Toby says. I smile at him. "What?"

"Everything you say makes you seem more and more perfect," I whisper.

"Thank-you Serenity, but you are the perfect one," Toby smiles kissing my knuckles. I smile and look down at my empty plate , my smile turning into a frown. "Have more Mio Angelo."

"Thanks," I say dishing more onto my plate.

"Its nice to see a girl who likes to eat," Toby says. "I like that."

Some times passes and I ate two servings of pasta and two servings of chocolate pudding. Toby and I are heading back to the Common Room, and I am so full. Toby let's go of my arm at the bottom of the girls dormitory.

"Did you enjoy dinner?" Toby asks.

"I loved it!" He pulls me into a hug and kisses my cheek.

"Until tomorrow Mio Angelo," he whispers into my ear before releasing me. I walk up the stairs and stumble into the dormitory dazed. I lay on my bed and quickly fall asleep, dreaming of Toby's eyes.
