I Like You Walking Next To Me [Quinn]

[Deleted]

Seph was standing in front of the Owl Emporium, waiting patiently and looking over all of the owls displayed in the window to see if any one of those would be perfect for her girlfriend. She didn't think she would ever get tired of saying that. Or thinking that. Quinn was her girlfriend and she didn't know if happy could get any happier. They'd made arrangements yesterday to come to Diagon Alley today because McGonagall hadn't minded and she was supposed to be leaving on a trip with her family soon so she really wanted to go on a date with Quinn before she left. Quinn had also really wanted to pick out her own owl so that they could continue sending letters back and forth to one another. So here she was, arms crossed behind her back and staring into the glass front of the store. There was a bunch of varieties of owls. Some of them looked rather mean. Some of them looked like they would eat Teddy for breakfast. She couldn't have that, and neither could Quinn because Quinn specifically asked for an owl that would get along with Teddy. She smiled to herself. She was so nice and sweet. She looked behind her for just a moment to see if she could catch a glimpse of her familiar blonde hair but didn't see anything so she turned back to the glass and continued looking over the owl choices. They weren't in any rush today. They had all day to spend together. She had been missing her so much that she couldn't wait to see her and hold her. Kiss her. She grinned to herself once again and continued to wait for her girlfriend to arrive.

Quinn had been carefully counting down the days until she got to meet up with Seph, finally she'd get to spend a day with her girlfriend after what felt like way too many days without her. She had been up early and spent time getting ready, before it was finally time to head to Diagon Alley to meet up with Seph. She was to meet her at the Owl Emporium, as they would be getting her an Owl today, her very first pet really - and Quinn was excited about it, she had a few names in mind but hadn't firmly set on something. She wanted to meet and pick out her owl before deciding on its name. She was mostly excited to see Seph and to hug her... and kiss her...

Surprising herself she had, had some trouble deciding what to wear before shaking her head and deciding on simple jeans and a shirt, tugging on a light plaid overshirt that covered her arms - comfortable but nice, she ended up deciding to leave her hair out - a cheeky little grin forming as she couldn't wait to see what Seph thought of what she had done with her hair. On a whim during the break she decided to charm her hair - making it a light pink instead of its usual blonde. She had arrived at the store and made her way inside, looking around before spotting her girlfriend - who apparently had yet to see her. So, she'd be surprising Seph instead. Carefully she made her way over, hands raising to carefully cover Seph's eyes as she slips up behind her. 

"Guess who." Quinn whispers, her smile making her cheeks hurt slightly.

Seph had decided it was better to wait inside the shop instead, going in to get a better look at the owls since it was where they would be starting their date anyway. She wanted the many shelves and owl displays, eyes lighting up when she saw owls she thought Quinn would like. She'd gotten stuck staring at a particular little owl that was just so adorable when her vision was blocked by the warmth of a pair of hands. She figured it had been Quinn but she hadn't known for certain until a whisper in her girlfriend's familiar tone had her face breaking out into a smile that hurt from the sudden shift in her cheeks. She was here! Quinn was there with her! She placed her hands over the ones that covered her eyes and her heart swelled immediately. She turned in the girl's arms, planning to hug her and kiss her immediately, but when she turned enough and Quinn's hands couldn't keep her eyes covered any longer, she saw her and gasped.
It was definitely Quinn standing in front of her, but there was something quite noticeably different about her. Her hair was pink! Pink! And pink was one of Seph's favorite colors. Her eyes beginning blinking furiously but she knew how much Quinn hated seeing her cry so instead she wrapped her arms around her and kissed her, eyes shut tight. She'd missed her so much. Much more than she'd thought she did, now that she was here with her again. After a few seconds, she pulled back, tears still tucked in the corners of her eyes but dangerously close to falling. "I missed you so much. I'm really really glad you're here. And I love your hair. " she wrapped her arms around her again in a tight hug, laying her head on the slightly shorter girl's shoulder. "I really love your hair! It's so pretty, it suits you well," she commented as she pulled back.

It wasn't much of a question on where Seph could be, she knew Seph well - she knew her girlfriend well. Her lips twitched into a small smile, that single word still sending the best butterflies off in her stomach, her heart giving a little flutter at the thought of the other girl. Her hands were gentle and careful as she covered the girls eyes, trying her best not to giggle as Seph didn't seem surprised or frighten at her action  - she guessed Seph knew her just as well. Her smile brightened as she feels Sephy moving - her hands moving to drop to the other girls waist. She had expected a hug to happen instantly at the very least and for a moment she was confused when instead of hugging her Seph gasped and looked at her, concern instantly bubbling when she saw her blinking furiously - a usual sign that Seph might be close to crying. Perhaps her protectiveness of the other girl was a little stronger than most, but - Sephy was precious and so very sweet... how could anyone not be protective of her?

Quinn's thoughts - and her worries were instantly pushed aside though as Quinn got the original expected reaction, with a bonus as she felt the blonde girls lips against her own. Her own body relaxed as she wrapped her arms around Seph's waist, pulling her closer as she carefully pulled her face away - but kept close as she hugged her tight. A small giggle escaping, "I missed you too - oh right," she shook her head slightly, letting her hair move around slightly before cuddling into her a little more, "I felt like doing something fun, McGonagall seemed to find it amusing - and .. maybe the color was inspired because of missing you.. it kinda, felt like you were closer to me .." she mumbled the last bit against the taller girl, "You really like it?" She pulls back with a little smile, her cheeks slightly flushed. She had really missed Seph - far more than she was used to, and seeing her was like everything was alright again - her heart warmed as she looked back at the other girl.

Seph's eyes lit up when Quinn mirrored her sentiment about missing her. She then went on to talk about her change in appearance, the lovely pink hair she was sporting made Seph smile. She couldn't help but gently grabbing a pink strand between her fingers as she held on tight to her girlfriend, admiring the way the light hit it and made the pink seem even bright. The explanation she gave on why she'd dyed it pink, however, absolutely made her heart melt in her chest and she kissed her again, so full of the emotion. She was so full of happiness and her cheeks hurt from smiling so much already. And it was only the beginning of their date. "That's so cute! I'm glad you thought of me. I love it! It's so cute on you," she grinned. She placed one hand on her cheek. She'd been thinking about seeing her since they'd talked about it in their letters to one another and now that they were together again, there was so much she wanted to do. Especially because her family was supposed to be taking their summer trip soon and it would be a little while before she would be able to see her again. She wanted to do as much as she could now. They were in the emporium now though so maybe they could start with that. "I feel like I want to spend all of the time in the world here with you but there's so much more to do. So how about..." she pulled back from her for just a moment to stand by her side and took a hold of her hand, lacing together their fingers, "We look at some of the animals here. Did you really want to get your pet today? I would love to help you pick one out."

Quinn was beyond happy right now, she felt the familiar butterfly feeling in her stomach just seeing Seph again - it had felt so very long since she had seen the other girl last - since she had seen her girlfriend. That word again just made her want to smile and never stop. But now they were back again, together again and Quinn happily - although slightly flustered - told Seph about her change in appearance. She was really growing to love the pink in her hair - and wasn't looking forward to having to change it after school started up again, and now that she had seen Sephy's reaction to it. Her cheeks burned and she really - really wasn't looking forward to changing her hair back.

A small giggle escaped the currently pink-haired blonde, "I guess I missed you more, and the pink made me feel like you were with me..." she gave a tiny shrug, her hand reaching up to grasp Seph's own and placing a sweet kiss on the other girls hand before allowing her to lace their fingers together, "I know what you mean  - but yes of course! There are way too many choices.. I'm going to need your help to pick just one out to take with me." Quinn was a little unsure about doing that part, already as she looked around she wanted to give all the animals a home - but, she doubted that would go over well at all. 

"I really want an owl though I think, although one day a cat might be nice - but today its an owl I am going to look for." She nodded at this, determined in that part at least - she wanted to get an owl for many reasons, most of all though - she wanted to be able to have her own owl to send letters to her friends and more importantly - to Sephy.

Her smile was full of airy delight at the words her girlfriend said about her hair, how having it pink made her feel closer to Seph. Her eyes even watered a little bit at the kiss that was placed on her hand, though she quickly wiped the tears away before they could fall. She couldn’t cry now, they had an important task ahead of them! They had to find Quinn an owl today so that she could send letters as much as she wanted to anyone she wanted to send them to. Seph was sure that McGonagall didn’t mind Quinn using her owl but Seph could also understand while Quinn wanted her own owl. And the owl wouldn’t be just for sending letters either. She knew Quinn would love the owl just as much as she loved Teddy. She really hoped that they could find an owl that liked her just like Teddy loved Quinn.

"Okay! We’ll find you an owl then. I saw a bunch of them over here, if I’m not mistaken," she went to work, retracing the steps she’d taken in the store, gently tugging her girlfriend along with her so they could find the section where they kept the owls. "Here it is! Look, they have so many of them!" she smiled widely before looking around at the selection. Directly to the left of them there was a great horned owl that looked so incredibly soft that Seph wanted to touch him. She knew much better than to do that though; she didn’t want to chance getting bitten. That would definitely sully the day. She wondered then if the shop carried potions for something like that considering it had to happen all of the time. "So," she said turning to her pretty pink haired companion, "Which one did you want to look at first? We’ve got plenty of time to look at all of them, I think."
