Forever And Always **Sequel to From Two Different Worlds**

Oops, I Like You

"I think that's really sweet Bells." Alice said. Emmy nodded in agreement. And with that, they changed and crawled into their beds. I took of my robe when I remembered the parchment I found in the Slytherin common room. I unwrinkled the parchment and read it carefully. It started off with Dear Arabella, before that was crossed out. It was headed many different times before the letter actually began.

Dear Bella,

Won't you go to Hogsmeade with me?

-Elliot

I smiled at the small piece of parchment for a couple of minutes before opening up the journal Elliot gave me and stuffing the note inside it. I put the journal back underneath my pillow and slowly dozed off into a deep slumber.

*******************************

"Miss Weasley I would appreciate it of you'd actually pay attention." Professor Longbottom sighed. Elliot snickered at me from across the greenhouse and I looked at my Professor.

"Sorry sir." I murmured.

"Now, today we will be discussing Puffapods and how to harvest them.." Professor Longbottom said as he began giving us a lecture. I started taking notes as he continued.

-produces large seedpods

-Large seedpods=shining beans

-May cause Trolls to sneeze

"Now, if dropped, they may instantly bloom so you must be very careful." He paused and looked at the time. "Homework tonight: Sketch out a Puffapod. Simple enough. Class dismissed."

I packed up all my gear and walked over to Elliot, who was waiting by the door. "Thanks for distracting me today." I mumbled, nudging him. He laughed.

"It wasn't my fault!" He said defensively. We rounded the corner where he would be heading off to Potions and I to Charms. "Hey can I ask you something?"

"Um sure, ask away!" I giggled.

"Will you- um. What are you.." He paused and scratched his head while looking at the floor. I could tell he was red in the face though. "Bella would you-"

"Yes." I stated simply. He looked up in surprise.

"What-?" He mused.

"Yes, Elliot, I will go to Hogsmeade with you." I smiled. His confused face turned into a grin.

"How'd you know I was going to ask?"

"I just had a feeling." I giggled. "I'll see you in Transfiguration!" I said before making my way to class.

********************

"Hurry up or they'll leave without us!" I said before Alice and Emmy came running down the stairs. We scampered out the portrait hole and made our way to the courtyard. We handed over our permission forms to Professor Longbottom before we set off.

Elliot was walking next to me, Emmy walking next to Pierre and Alice with Toby and Mylor. Elliot leant over and whispered something in my ear.

"When we get to the village, care for a butterbeer?" He asked, his warm breath tickling my ear. I nodded excitedly and felt heat rush to my face.

When we reached the village we departed and headed to the Three Broomsticks where we ordered two butterbeers. "So Bells, how've you been?" Elliot asked, taking a sip of the arm butterbeer.

"Quite well, although it is getting quite chilly. Quidditch as been awful!" I replied.

"Oh I know! We had practice the other day, nearly fell off my broom! The winds were brutal, and not to mention the icy chill in the air." He laughed. I smiled and took a sip of butterbeer. It warmed me up quickly. "I'm guessing you like butterbeer?" He asked. I nodded and smiled.

"I love it." I said simply, staring into his grey eyes. "Elliot, can I ask you something?" His grey eyes bore into mine, as if it were searching for something.

"Sure." He said smoothly.

"Elliot, do you like me?" I asked quietly. He looked taken back by the question but gave me a smile.

"Well yes-" He started. My head tingled and out of the corner of my eye I could see that it had turned pink. His eyes scanned over me and a smile played at my lips. "Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering."  I said too quickly. He smirked. He knew I liked him.

"So where does this leave us?" He asked. I cocked my head to the side.

"I haven't a clue." I grinned. "Let's just, as they say, go with the flow?" We both laughed and continued drinking delicious butterbeer.
