Ah Gary, I get it, a cross between Gideon and Mary. That's silly, why would you even think of that?

I want to go dancing!

Your couple name is ‘Gary’ and the place where you make kissy faces, have happy times etc. is ‘Garyland’. 

[gideon-gryffindor]

"Nope!" He said quickly, holding her tight with a grin. "You're not leaving ever again!" He chuckled, he'd rather make jokes about it than avoid the subject sullenly for the rest of their lives. 

"Step on my toes and I'm leaving, mister!" She lifted her head up, chuckling lightly as she returned his teasing tone.

[gideon-gryffindor]

He chuckled lightly,he moved the arm that was resting on her waist to wrap around her slight frame, holding in a half hug as they continued to sway. "The broom didn't have any feet for me to accidentally step on though, so that was a bonus," He teased.

She hummed softly into his chest, a small smile ghosting her lips as they simply swayed together. “I should bloody well think so!” Her voice was laced with laughter as she nuzzled into his chest, too comfortable to lift her head up and look at him.

[gideon-gryffindor]

Garyland? What in the name of Merlin is that?

I want to go dancing!

So all is well in Garyland. Fantastic!

[gideon-gryffindor]

He stopped thinking about dancing so much then, and just swayed contently, holding her close. "I think you're a better partner than the mop though," He mused, trying to keep a straight face. 

She couldn't help but grin up at him, everything he did making her feel warm and fuzzy inside. "I believe you!" She let out a little laugh as he spun her around, dropping her head down to rest on his chest as continued to sway with him.

[gideon-gryffindor]

Yes, yes it went magnificently! I don't know how I'm ever going to thank Molly.

I want to go dancing!

So it all went well with Mary then? Yeah?

[gideon-gryffindor]

He placed his hand on her waist, taking her other hand in his own and smiled down at her happily. "Okay, don't laugh if I mess up," he warned finding it hard to pretend to be serious. He slowly started leading her step by step, humming the tune he'd learnt quietly under his breath and concentrating on where his feet were going. Then after a while it all became more natural, like his feet knew where to go, and he smiled at Mary, proud of himself for doing this right. Flushed with confidence he grinned and stepped back a little spinning Mary on the spot and then drawing her back close to him. "See! I told you I'd been practicing."

I want to go dancing!

“Oh?” A girlish giggle escaped her lips at the thought, as she gently guided one hand to her waist, grasping his other one in her own much smaller hand as she rested her free one on his shoulder. “Show me?”

[gideon-gryffindor]

[He followed her to the lake, smiling at her the whole time. he never thought he'd be this happy again so soon] I've been practicing you know. With a mop in the dorm while no one was watching. [He blushed slightly, chuckling at how silly it sounded]

I want to go dancing!

Then we’ll go dancing! [Laughing, she grabbed hold of his hand, leading him outside and onto the grounds by the lake.]

[gideon-gryffindor]

Oh no no no no. Not with out you! Dancing's no fun on your own.

I want to go dancing!

Then go dancing? [She grinned.]

[gideon-gryffindor]

I want to go dancing!

[gideon-gryffindor]

His face fell, he was hoping he may be able to help his brother in some small way. "Right, what did she say? Maybe she'll listen now... now that you know it's not going to make him any happier. " Perhaps she should talk to her himself.

"I can imagine." She laughed softly, letting her eyes flutter shut as she simply held him close, smile permanently etched onto her lips. "Y-yeah, I know... I already have, Gid, she was having none of it." She spoke quietly, sighing.

[gideon-gryffindor]

He chuckled softly "Yeah it involved a lot of crying and hugging," he shrugged a little embarrassed. "You know Rory broke up with him too? For the same kind of reasons as you it sounds like," He looked sown sadly. "Maybe- maybe you could talk to her or something." He looked up at her hopefully.

"I love you too." She whispered, resting her forehead against his. "Oh?" She arched an eyebrow questioningly. "Oh, Gid, that's great!" She grinned, her heart swelling with love and joy for this man.

[gideon-gryffindor]

He smiled into the kiss, he didn't think he'd ever have this again and that only made it all the more amazing. He pulled back, staring at her wonderingly, stoking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I love you so much," He said quietly. "You know there was one good thing to come of this, as ridiculous as that sounds." he smiled."I made up with Fabian."

Mary returned his kiss eagerly, her fingers dancing lightly across his scalp. Her eyes fluttered shut as he rained kisses down on her skin, a soft smile ghosting her lips. "Good, because I'm not going anywhere." She murmured the words against his lips before kissing him once more.

[gideon-gryffindor]

He shook his head once more. "It doesn't matter, I understand why you did it, I know you just wanted me to be happy." He said, unable to stop grinning. He kissed her once more, capturing her lips in a passionate embrace before littering light kisses all over her cheeks and neck. "I'm never letting you go again," he murmured happily. 

She let out a little squeal as he picked her up, burrowing her face in the crook of his shoulder with a grin. Once she was back on her feet, she tilted her head up to look at him, a sad smile gracing her lips. "I am sorry, Gid." She whispered the words, her guilt clear.

[gideon-gryffindor]

He didn't want to believe what he was hearing, it was almost to good to be true. He simply stared at her, a smile slowly creeping onto his face. He nodded quickly. "Yes, yes of course!" he laughed ecstatically, picking her up and spinning her around gleefully.

"If you'll have me." She whispered the words, absentmindedly playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, a habit she had picked up at the start of their relationship. Her bottom lip became trapped between her teeth as she stared up at him, the feel of his arms wrapped tightly around her petite waist something she would never get used to.

[gideon-gryffindor]

Gideon sat int he corner of the common room, pretending to be busy so people wouldn't bother him. The parchment in front of him had started off as potions homework but had very quickly just become pointless doodles. Stick men, faces, trees, houses, anything that popped into his head. He turned over onto the next sheet and started drawing again, this time with a scene in mind. A house, a little cheery house with big windows and a pretty garden and outside were people, happy people. Four couples, which in his mind turned out to be his parents, Molly and Arthur, Fabian and Rory, and him and Mary. Just a big group of happy people being happy together. There were birds and clouds and sunshine, and it looked like a children's drawing but he didn't care because it made him feel better.

He wasn't expecting anyone to disturb him when someone grabbed his hand. A small sweet hand he'd know anywhere, that fit perfectly in his. He looked up shocked at the person he'd least expected, wondering what she was doing, and why she was even interacting with him when she suddenly kissed him.

Despite his confusion, he didn't fight it, kissing her back desperately, for all he knew this could just be a lapse in her resolve, and the last kiss he'd share with her and he wanted to make it count. He wrapped his arms around her waist hold her as tight as he could, never wanting to let her go.

He looked down at her trying to understand as she pulled away. He shook his head, he didn't want her to be sorry, he just wanted to hear that she wasn't leaving him, that they could be together again. He knew she'd seen the mirror, that's obviously what had caused this reaction, but what was she going to do now? "Are you going to stay?" He asked quietly, the fear evident in his voice.  

Mirror in the sky, what is love? // Mary & Gideon

Mary sat in her dorm alone, the various presents she had been given throughout the day scattered across her bed. She couldn’t help but smile, unable to remember the last time she had had such a good, happy day. She truly did have the best friends. Her eyes landed on the ornate mirror from Molly, and her smile dropped from her face as she remembered the message that came with it.

With a dejected sigh, Mary picked it up, not expecting to see anything besides her own dull reflection staring back. At first, that was all she saw, just herself, and she rolled her eyes, wondering if that was the point. She was about to put the mirror down when she noticed in the mirror she was smiling, despite the frown that sat on her own face. The longer she stared, the more she started to see little things about herself that she actually liked.

She watched as the reflection’s nose crinkled when it laughed, watched the way the eyes sparkled. The longer she stared at the mirror, the more her insecurities faded away, until eventually they were no longer there. Her eyes filled with tears, her mouth forming a perfect ‘o’ as the charm worked it’s magic. He thought she was beautiful, in every sense of the word..

Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she placed the mirror down on the bed before standing up, walking quickly down into the common room, not bothering to wipe her face as she searched for Gideon, soon finding him in the corner of the room, bent over a few sheets of parchment. She practically ran over, grasping his hands and pulling him up onto his feet before cupping his face and kissing him.

When she pulled away, she held him close to her, her hands moving to cup the back of his neck as she stared at him. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.” She whispered softly, the tip of her nose brushing against his as she kept her eyes locked on his.

[gideon-gryffindor]

You and I love broken girls who aren’t ready for our love.

What? Fab, how, why?

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Fab. I guess even when we're apart we get dealt the same cards. It's not fair, I wish at least one of us could be happy. 

Saturday Night.

We broke up.
