#purely because they're so enamored with each other that they just want to chat and smile lovingly and make fun of other people

"-And Miss Meadowes shall be partnering with... Miss Mckinnon", Slughorn read out.

Dorcas slid over to Marlene's desk, glaring at her, "If you mess up this potion, I will kill you."

Marlene nodded, swinging her legs as they sat on a stool, "Sure, Sure. Get thrown in Akzban for murder, then."

Dorcas ignored them, instead deciding to start on the assignment.

Marlene glanced over to their parchment as Dorcas wrote notes down, "Do you think dementors enjoy the happy memories they steal?"

Dorcas turned to her, "What?"

"Cause, they steal happy memories, right? But why? What benefit would they gain from that? I mean surely it must be tiring going around day after day in a freezing building and just sucking people's souls. So do y'think they get to keep the memories they take and it makes them happy? Like an exchange of happiness?"

Dorcas frowned in thought, pausing their writing.

"Huh. I hadn't thought about that."

Marlene gasped, "Oh, do you want to hear this theory I have?"

Dorcas' frown deepened, "I actually do."

"So, basically I have this theory that the dementors are actually kinda like dogs. And they think that azkaban and the prisoners in there are their food, but their owners, so that's the ministry, they tell them 'oh you can only have little bits of all these different types of foods', so kind of like a diet, and the dementors listen because they're the kind of dogs that are super well trained, and so our souls are their food and so they have to take them or they'll be starving. But, if you think about it, if we let the dementors be like wild dogs, wouldn't that mean they'd be happier and we would also be happier. Cause they'd only eat a few people's souls, and if you didn't want them to take your soul then you could just be in the light all the time, it's really not a big deal."

Dorcas covered their smile with their hand, "Sure, Mckinnon."

Marlene turned to them, "I burnt the potion by the way."

"What?" Dorcas frantically stood up and leaned over to look at the blackened contents in their cauldron, "We hadn't even started yet!"

Marlene shrugged, "I know, but Sluggie was boring earlier so I put all those ingredients he wrote on the board into the cauldron whilst he was still talking rubbish."

"But the potion doesn't even require heat!"

"Okay, well that isn't my fault! You let me rant to you about my theory, and whenever I rant I start playing with my lighter and I subconsciously put the lighter inside the cauldron and all the ingredients burned! So really that's your fault for not making me shut up."

Dorcas scoffed in disbelief, shaking her head slightly as her stubborn mouth still tried to twist into a smile.

"You must be the worst person to partner with in class."

Marlene gasped, "That is so not fair! Because I was partners with Snape last term and he never let me do anything to help, or let me talk, or play with my lighter or anything. He's definitely the worst partner, because he's such a boring control freak. Like even more a control freak than Lily, although I say that with love and only because she called herself it just last week."

Dorcas gave up on the aims of hiding her smile as she passed her notes to Marlene, "Here, you can tell me what I need to do and you can rant all you want whilst I do make the potion, just in case you get any more urges to put a lighter in the cauldron."

Marlene grinned, "Well, Meadowes", she started to read the notes, "Start off with adding 50ml of leech juice whilst I tell you the story of when I broke James' arm when we were nine and beat him so bad in a 1v1 game of quidditch that he made him parents get rid of his hoops for a year."

Childhood Friends to Lovers for Scott and Amira? How did they meet as kids? Also the development of their friendship to realizing they're fully enamored with each other? Am a sucker for this trope no lie!!

Mod Angie - it’s 1:39am but Jesus punch me with inspiration, I have to apologize

I’ll do Scott now and do Amira next time hon

Scott:

How you met:

(13 years before (since he’s 21 he was 8 for those who have trouble with math))

Scott was with his grandma and WPL (Wolfpackleader) Outside walking and playing tag, When he saw that the neighbors finally sold their house. His grandma smiled at him

“Ah so they really sold it after all those years...”

They watched from afar as a car slowly rolled before the garage, two adults opened the doors cheerfully chatting

“Who are they?” Scott looked up on his grandma who just smiled calmly at him, “the new neighbors, I heard they also have a kid about the same age as you two”. Scott tried to see the little kid “they do?” Granny just nodded walking slowly back to their house, “yes perhaps a new friend, Scotty” after hearing the world friend Scott perked up his ears smiling widely trying to look harder for the little child “ A FRIEND!” He exclaimed jumping up and down, after a while he noticed that granny and wpl left him a bit behind and he ran to catch them up just thinking about ways of introducing himself to his new potential friend.

The next day he decided he will train himself in the park with wpl as emotional support. “hi! I’m Scotty! I’m your new friend!!!” He said talking to the tree.

“that’s too hard you’ll just scare them away” said wpl behind him building a sand castle

“you’re right,.... hi! I’m Scotty I’ll be your new friend!” He said again with just as much excitement.

“Almost there buddy” wpl said not turning away from his masterpiece.

Scott embraced himself and almost screaming he said “HI! My NAME IS SCOTTY! LETS BE FRIENDS!” a little voice from behind him said “okay, let’s”

with that Scott jumped a bit seeing a kid standing behind him, I mean she looked like a kid, she was smiling holding her hand out “oh sorry were you trying to make friends with the tree there?” Scott only could shake his head saying no

“woah he really is quiet! How did you DO that!!!? WhoAREyou??” Wpl jumped up from his richly made castle and ran to the two small child.

“Me? I’m (y/n)! We just packed out in the neighbor! Who are you?” “Wpl! And that’s Scott he was really eager to meet you!” He slightly showed Scott closer to the little girl

“well im pleased to meet you Scotty! I’m (y/n) so wanna be friends?” Again Scott could only nod furiously while smiling brightly

This was the first but not the last time he was speechless.

After that these three were inseparable. They did many countless of mischief together mostly on each other. But only harmless tricks like putting ice in each other’s shirt.

How their relationship grew:

As kids:

Learning things together like what is kissing, it started with a peck on the cheek then Scott started holding her hand telling everybody she’s his husband now, not understanding marriage.

Making tea parties with wpl. Running and playing tag a lot. Also daring each other to do stupid things “EAT A WAGON OF PICLE” “BRUSH YOUR TEETH USING YOUR LEG” “SWITCH CLOTHES WITH (Y/N)”

As teens:

Re creating kisses from the tv but not putting feelings in them just doing that because they were curious

Leaning on the “being pure and curious” a bit more like “why are you not like me? You run like me you make jokes like me but you don’t look like me?”

Stupid innuendos with granny or wpl oppening on them when they switched clothes or when he put on a bra and got scared when he couldn’t take it off

Realizing they love each other:

It happened somewhere in school when Scott noticed her cheering from him with the others, he noticed he doesn’t think of her as “only a best friend” anymore but maybe more than that too. He really wanted to Score for her and oh boy did he score big this time, running for her, picking her up, tossing her into the air, just so excited. “IT WAS FOR YOU (y/n) !!! You mean the most to me!”just a sweet love sick puppy that’s what he was like after that realization of his. It drove everybody(mostly wpl) insane. He always ran after her smiling whenever he accomplished something “I GOT A B! A B!!!” Just to see her cheering for him and praise him how much a good and clever boy he really is. He wanted to do better everyday. He made rap songs for her feat. Polly. Telling all about how much he loves her. And after that he made sure she understands everything he says is real so he carefully made a little speech (with wpl and Liam’s help) telling everything he loves and adores about her

After that they got Together and everybody was so happy for them. They made the school a better place with their goofiness.

Epilogue:

Of course Scott asked for her hand quiet fast and she said yes of course. But decided they will only marry after at least one of them finds a job, this was Scott when he decided to be the gym teacher in the school they both went.

They brought a house somewhere in the close neighbor where they all grew up.

In the wedding they invited every one of their friends.

Yes everybody cried. It was beautiful and with full of true real emotions. Wpl was the best man ofc.

The honey moon was also full of love and happiness. They went to Disneyland.

After few years (not that few) (a bit early perhaps) (it was after a year) their first child got born and neither of them could have been happier.

Scott is the dad everybody wanted as a child . Reliable, funny, loving, and always ready to have some quality time with his offsprings.

They had 3 kids after 10years in marriage. Just a big happy family with wpl as the best uncle.

Play dates in the park.

Scott couldn’t wait till they could finally catch a ball. So he could train them and play with them.
