i caught myself

[Gideon Prewett]

Yeah? I think you look great with both, really. I mean, I know I didn't recognise you, but now that I do I'm like... Wow, you know? I like it both colours, really.

Er, well... I definitely think so? So... I mean, if you want to be, I'd like it. ... Yeah.

[jezebel]

Aww, thanks a lot, Gideon! You really helped with my confidence!

Well. I've never been anyone's girlfriend before, so I don't know if I'd be very good at it...but I promise to try my very best to be the best girlfriend you've ever had!

[Gideon Prewett]

Oh, haha, glad I could help! I mean, I don't see why you'd have low confidence. You're like... wicked, and really, really pretty, and... I mean, you're unique, you know? Ha, I mean, I've never known another girl like you.

I don't think there's anything to it really. But I've never been anyone's girlfriend either. It's easy enough to be a boyfriend, though, so I guess being a girlfriend's easy too.

[jezebel]

Oh no, I know I'm pretty! I mean..well, I don't know-know, that didn't mean to come out as arrogant as it did but...gah! What I mean to say is, I was just unsure because it's so new and stuff. But thanks for saying that, I do pride myself in being unique! Being normal can be kind-of boring, you know?

Of course you haven- Ohhhhhhhh hahaha I just got that joke, gosh you really are funny, Gideon! I don't think the professor believed my laugh was a cough, she's glaring pretty evilly at me. Oh well.

So, if we're boyfriend and girlfriend, does that mean we get to go on a date? I heard that that's what boyfriends and girlfriends do. Does that also mean we have to kiss? Because, well, I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to have a baby quite yet, and I'm so grateful we managed to escape those dratted mistletoe during the Yule ball, because they must have caused the impregnation of half the school population!

Okay, that's an exaggeration. Maybe only, like, one twelfth or something.

[Gideon Prewett]

Well, you are pretty. I don't think you're arrogant at all.

Well, I'd love to take you on a date. Is there anything special you had in mind, or should I try to surprise you?

And er... don't worry about... babies. I don't want kids yet either. Trust me, Fabian and I have watched Molly's kids enough for me to know that I definitely am not ready for that kind of mayhem responsibility. So I mean... you know, we definitely won't... go... too far? Until we're ready or But if it happens I have protec And yeah, those mistletoe were annoying, but I think anyone who fooled around would be smart enough to... you know... ensure that they didn't, er... yeah. Don't worry.

[jezebel]

I'm glad. I care about what you think of me.

Well, seeing as you're the one with the experience here, methinks it's best if you think of a suitable place to have a date. Is dragon riding out of the question, though?

Oh, I suppose if we ever snogged, we wouldn't really mean to have children, but, I mean, I supposed sometimes people get carried away and forget not to mean it, and that's why the storks come to them even though they didn't actually want a child. And I suppose if you love someone very much and you're surrounded by pretty things like in the Yule ball, it's hard to remember that you don't want to have a baby with this person, and...okay, so I don't completely understand the mechanics completely because my parents would never give me the details, but...well. Anyhow! I don't know how I got into this in the first place!

[Gideon Prewett]

Dragons, huh? I'll see what I can do.

Well, people can get carried away, but... I mean, most of the time they gotta be doing something right, otherwise wouldn't Hogwarts be like... swimming with babies? Wait, what storks? Like, the baby-bringing storks? I dunno much about those. Molly used to tell me babies used to be brought by broomstick, like they'd hang from them in a basinet bassinette baby basket. But then Molly got married and got pregnant with Bill, and that was when Mum sat me down and told me the truth about where babies come from - but anyway, uh... How did we start talking about this? I mean, haha, we haven't even kissed yet and we're talking about... I mean, I guess it's always good to be prepared? Just didn't think we'd be having this conversation so soon, haha.

[jezebel]

Aha, I knew you'd be the best boyfriend ever!

Like I said, I've figured out that they have to mean it first, otherwise the skies would be littered with storks everytime couples started kissing! Which, I've noticed, seems to be a lot. And wait, what do you mean? The truth about where babies come from is that they are from storks.

Oh, well, I guess that's true. Does that mean you don't...want to kiss me anytime soon?

[/color]

[Gideon Prewett]

Well, sure, I'd like to kiss you. Haha. I just kinda hoped it'd come as a surprise.

Hang on...

You don't think babies still come from storks, do you?

[jezebel]

Oh. Well, it's not like I expect you to kiss me now, so I'm sure when you do kiss me, it'll still be a surprise.

I don't think that, I know it. Where else would they come from?

[/color]

[Gideon Prewett]

Well... the way my mum explained it to me was that every woman had a garden, and... babies are like seeds and need to be watered, which... I suppose is the... I'm sure Madam Pomfrey can give you all the details, but... Your parents still tell you that babies come from storks?

[jezebel]

A...garden? Well that sounds silly interesting! And, yeah, I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? It usually takes a while, probably some sort of preparation stage for the mother and father (perhaps some time to dwell on whether that kiss was worth it or not for some of them!) and then the stork comes.

[Gideon Prewett]

Are you taking the mickey?

[jezebel]

...er...no?

[/color]

[Gideon Prewett]

But everyone knows that storks and broomsticks are just things our parents made up until we're "ready" to learn the truth about where babies come from.
