Sean dreaded the thought of leaving from her. This was the first night they really expressed themselv'es toward eachother and he didnt want it to end. He would stay here all night and sneak back to the common room if he had to. He would take another detention if he had to. He just wouldnt leave her.
There silence with eachother seemed to be the result of eachother deep in their thoughts. But Sean was as happy as he could ever have been. Ever have dreamed of. When he tried to stop smiling he just couldnt. He wanted to scream out how much he liked Amelia. Tell everyone.
Sean took his hand that was at his side and put it into his pocket as he moved it around looking for something. he then pulled it out and put it across his body into his right pocket as he looked in that one. He then pulled out a small bronze knut.
Thats my new lucky charm.

This, just standing here along side Sean, was enough to make Amelia wonder if she'd ever find something better in her life. This person standing beside her, holding her close, meant everything and nothing at the same time. Her breathing slowed, relaxing herself once again, but her heartbeat kept pace.
Capture the moment....don't let it slip away...you might not get a second chance.....
"Sean, I," Amelia began, wondering for a split second if she truly wanted to do this, right here and right now. How could she be sure? Her hand moved to her wrist where she took a string of beads in every colour imaginable over her petite hands, "I want you to have these.....I don't want you to forget me."
Amelia held the beads softly, wishing to cling to them desperatly but knowing now that she had made the offer this would be impossible. Sean didn't know it yet, but she was handing over a large part of herself. Parts of herself no one ever got to see.

Sean was enjoying all the time he had and he was just savouring everything but when Amelia spoke at first he looked over at her. She then handed Sean the string of beads. Just by the sound of her voice, what she said and how it looked. Sean new it was something very important.
"Amelia... N-no... I cant... I couldnt." He struggled to say. He was shocked that she would give him something so important. Although he liked that she did. It made him think she really did think he was something special..

"Yes," Amelia said, holding his hand in one of hers, gently but with insistance forming through her eyes, "Yes you can."
She set the beads in his hand, closing her eyes for just a second too long as she closed his fingers over them, wrapping her own fingers around his. It was ironic, how she longed to take them back but had passed the opportunity. Something just told her.....she couldn't possibly know what......that this needed to be done. She watched his eyes, her own seeming deep and endless as the ocean, as they stood close with their hands still connected.

Sean was still shocked. By how she looked and how she spoke and everything she did he could just tell how much the beads meant to her. How important this was. Sean tried to think of the right words but one can not think of something to say in a situation like this.
"I... I dont know... Thank you." He said. he looked down at it with his wide hazel eeys. they seemed to be changing a bit of color as he could feel his insides tingling. They were deeper green. Maybe it was just the light.
He looked down and saw her hand coving his as she had enclosed his hand on the beaded string. Sean placed his other free hand on top of hers and looked at her with the most thankful expression. But then it hit him like a brick.
Give her something!
Sean seemed to snap out of whatever he was in and he took his one hand on top of hers and began to move it all over his robes searching for something. going from pocket to pocket.
"Um... Let me just..." He said as he put his hand in another pocket at his side and found the bronze knut he had felt earlier.
Great Sean! What she is giving you prolly cost's a billion galleons and you have one knut... Truley great...

As Sean accepted her offering - of what? she wondered. Certainly more than friendship, but what exactly was she promising with these beads? - Amelia felt as if a weight had been lifted from her. As if by him taking this object, precious to her assuredly, it meant he held her in the same respect he now held her bracelet - with gentle care.
Sean's eyes, as she watched, almost seem to change before her eyes. Her own honey-coloured pools focused on him as his eyes turned almost emeralds, his face silhouetted against the now starry night sky. He seemed to be searching for something he had misplaced, but she couldn't quite figure out what....
What could he be doing? Certainly he isn't.....he doesn't have to.....

Sean calmed down a bit as he placed the knut slowly back into his pocket and gave a deep sigh. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them and looking to her.
"I'm... I'm sorry... I dont have anything for you. But I promise I will get you something. I... I know I can get something." He said quiet as he felt ashamed that he couldnt give her anything in return.
Sean did not dare ask about the beads. Not today at least. He did not know how to phrase what he wanted to ask or anything. He knew it would sound bad to simply ask "What is it?" so he held off his thoughts. he knew it was important and at the time that was all that matterd.

The sigh Sean heaved took Amelia aback. He seemed almost....disappointed, as if he had let her down in some way. Little did he know he had done nothing of the sort. He had lifted her up to a place she had never been, never imagined she could be. He felt bad because he had no physical representation of his feelings to offer her, but she wouldn't need a trinket to remember tonight.
"You don't have to," she said, squeezing his hand lightly in hers, "but if you do, I know I'll love it." She kept her voice soft and quiet, almost as if a loud noise could ruin the moment they had enveloped around each other.

Sean just smiled as she spoked and he felt the light pressure she gave his hand to ensure comfort. Sean took his free hand and gently lifted up Amelia's chin and kissed her on the lips shortly. He had to thank her somehow and words didnt seem eneough.
"Thank you. Honestly... its very nice." he said smiling largley as he looked into her eyes as they continued to hold hands over the braclet.

Amelia lifted her chin and returned his brief but wellmet kiss, fluttering her eyelids to take in the moment. Everything seemed so calm in a way she had never known it. She was constantly in motion, always thinking, doing, wanting something more - and now there was none of that. Just the stars and the room - and Sean.
Sean
"You're welcome," she said softly as he pulled back from their kiss, hand still connnected. She fould feel her fingers getting colder as they stood in the breeze from the open window, but she dared not let go. It seemed if she did they might lose something of what they had found tonight.
The way I'm losing this... she thought, reminded of the bracelet that now rested between their palms.

As tiem went on they simply stood there with eachothers hands as one. Enclosed over the braclet. The moon now high and vidible as the sun was gone for another day. All that could be hurd was the gently leaves blowing in the wind and an occasional howl off in the distance.
"Amelia... I dont want to leave you now..." he said as he began to wonder how late it really was. The last thing he did want to do was leave. He couldnt think of really what to say next.

There was nothing more they had to do than stand in silence to enjoy the moments that passed so quickly - a rare occurance betweeen any two people, but especially between Amelia and another person. Usually silence was interpreted by the witty Ravenclaw as an awkward time which needed to be filled as quickly as possible.
But here and now, it was all she needed. That and Sean to be near.
"I feel the same...." Amelia said hesitantly, knowing this topic would bring their separation, "It doesn't seem we'll have much of a choice soon though...." there was a hint of disappointment in her voice as she added this last part, moving a bit closer to him just to savour the last of what they may have.

Sean looked down as he was sorry that he would soon have to leave. He almost felt that what their relationship was so fragile and if they even moved it would break. But he knew no matter what he would stay with her. Day in day out.
"Yea. I guess..." He said as he took one of his hands and placed it again around Amelia as she got as close to him as possible. As the cold night air came in, bieng close to her was also warming. Even if it was January he would feel warm holding her close to him.

As much as she would have loved to stay, forever, frozen in this moment in his arms, Amelia knew that school rules would dictate they had to return to their common rooms. Soon, if they hoped to avoid trouble. Her heart and her mind fought, tugging back and forth to pull strings to allow the time to last longer, but to no avail. It was time to go.
"We really do have to go," she said softly, gently, a hint of disappointment slipping into her voice unintentionally. Of course it was the way she felt, but she hadn't intended to come across that way. She didn't want to part feeling bad.

Sean was feeling a bit dissapointed about leaving as he knew he would have to leave now if he wanted to get back on time.
"Yea. We should go. Its not like I wont see you everyday. We can come up here again sometime." He said as he tried to brighten himself up.
"Its only one night..." He said smiling as he looked over towards her. He had brought his arm back and turned around facing the exit. With almost a bit of sadness, He let go of her hands and now held the braclet alone in his own.
