   Jack had made up his mind. He wasn’t going to waste time any longer. He wanted Cora to be his girl. They were friends, had been since the first day of school. Last year, Jack’s feelings started to change. He no longer saw Cora as his best friend, she was more. So, Jack had asked her out. They went on a few dates in May, then summer holidays started. Jack couldn’t see Cora as much as he would have liked, he only saw once or twice every two weeks.
Since school had started, Jack and Cora were back to spending every free minute together. In the last few weeks, Jack was sure he wanted to make things official with Cora. The only question was, how?
When Jack walked into the common room, Cora was sitting on the couch, studying. He sat down next to her, and gently took the books from her hands. Jack looked Cora in the eyes, and opened his mouth. “Cora, I think this has been five years coming, but I’m finally asking you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?”

Cora had just been sitting in the Hufflepuff common room, studying alone. She was getting dangerously below her usual grade in Astronomy, her worst subject. Her marks weren't low, but they weren't where she liked them to be, and she was trying to buckle down and study. She'd even asked Lysander Scamander if she could have the night off from patrolling as a prefect, giving the job to someone else for the night, and was glad there was no quidditch.
Her thoughts couldn't help but stray from Astronomy though. She'd found herself fantasizing about Jack Finnigan a lot recently. They'd been best friends for a few years now, but lately, like ever since last summer, they'd become so much more. They'd gotten a lot closer, and it gave her butterflies everytime she thought about him. She was really hoping something would happen with it soon. They'd gone out on a few dates, just to see if it was even smart to take their friendship farther. And she thought it was.
Her thoughts were interrupted by none other than Jack himself taking her books out of her hands. She looked at him curiously, and listened to him babble in such a cute way. She sucked in breath, rather more audibly than she'd have normally done, but he'd caught her off guard. She'd just been thinking about it, and here he was, out of no where doing it. Not that she was complaining. "Of course Jack! I'd love to be your girlfriend!" She couldn't stop smiling.

Jack grinned, and leaned forward. He kissed her gently on the lips before pulling away. “So, what are we studying?”
[/b] Jackson settled on the couch, and grabbed a Potion book from the coffee table. Potions was Jack’s favorite subject, after flying of course. “I’m sorry, Babe, but I can’t help you with Astronomy. You, of all people, should know how much I sucked at that class.” [/b] Jack didn’t do with theory classes, he was best at practical skills. He loved classes where you could get up, and practice the spells or charms. There was nothing Jack hated more than sitting around, and doing nothing. He liked to be moving at at all times. “Let’s blow off studying. We can get the brooms, and go play some one on one. What’d ya say?”[/b] Jack nudged Cora, tossing the book back on the coffee table. Jack knew Cora would say no, but it’s worth a try. Right? [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] [/center] W O R D S * 155 ;;

Jack wrapped his arm around Cora’s shoulders, and kissed her temple. Jack frowned for a moment, but rolled his eyes when he realized Cora was kidding. It had taken him a few seconds, he didn’t know she was kidding. Facial expressions, and other social cues, was not Jack’s strong spot. For some reason, he just plain sucked at them.
“Come on,”
[/b] Jack whined. “Let’s go fly! Sitting around, doing nothing, is boring!” [/b] Jack hated sitting still, absolutely hated it. If he had his way, Jack would always be moving. Flying, running, working out, swimming and more. When in doubt, working out was Jack’s motto. “We could go for a run, a walk, a trot, a canter? Anything is better then nothing!” [/b] Jack whined. “I’ve been inside all day, and I miss the sunlight!” [/b] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] [/center] W O R D S * 133 ;;

Cora wished she would say yes. But she had a lot of homework coming up due, and she was up there in the top of her class. No, she wasn't the top, but she was probably in the top ten or so. She was sure of it. And she'd never let a boyfriend in the past let her get distracted from her work, and Jack was not going to be an exception. "Perhaps you should do your work, Jack,"
[/color] she said. She knew Jack well enough to know that he probably wasn't completely finished with it all. She laughed at all the random actions he brought up. "We can go for a canter later! I'm getting close to being done, just this and potions!"[/color] It was still pretty early, they had plenty of time. But school came first. Her parents expected it from her, and even more she expected it from herself. "We had practice earlier today, Jackson Seth Finnigan. You are not that deprived."[/blockquote][/blockquote] ==============[/size][/center] tagged: Jackson Seth Finnigan

“Darling, I finished my work.”
[/b]Jack wasn’t stupid, quite the opposite. He was smart, but unmotivated. In Jack’s mind, he did his homework to finish the work. Jack wasn’t the biggest fan of school. He paid attention in class, finished his work and read his textbooks. Most of the time, he did the bare minimum, but by the grace of God, he managed to pass all of his classes with Os or Es. When Jack took his O.W.L.s, he took nine out of the twelve possible O.W.L.s. He received Os in Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic and Muggle Studies. He had received Es in Herbology and Astronomy. The only people who Jack had shared his scores with were his parents. Jack worried that people would be frustrated with him, frustrated that he received that grades he did without trying very hard. Jack was lucky, learning just came naturally to him. “Are you worried for N.E.W.T.s this year?”
“If I help you study for potions, can we go for a walk outside? It’s such a nice day out. We need to soak up all the vitamin D before winter comes.” [/b]Jack sighed, looking at his quickly fading tan. Summer was defiantly over. “Cora Lainey Caldwell, did you really just pull out my full name?[/b] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] [/center] W O R D S * 233 ;;
