First Year Feelings
Jerry rushed down to the grounds, desperately looking around him while his robes swayed to and fro. He had asked Ada to come down to meet him and he wanted to make sure he did everything right.
Wait, he thought. What if he had come down too early? and she thought he was desperate? or what if he came down too late? and she was already gone because he didn't bother to show up? These thoughts infiltrated Jerry's mind and he could feel the redness coming up his cheeks. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked around, looking nearly anywhere but in front of him.
Well, it's not really his fault he didn't know what to do. They don't really teach that at Hogwarts (mind you it would be load more helpful than some classes) and the last thing he needed was to send an owl to his mum. He could almost hear her screeching with delight "Oh my little boy!! All grown up! What's her name?. He shuddered, that was a scary thought.
Pausing beneath a tree, he looked up at the courtyard hoping to see Ada walking down. He blushed again as he thought about the first time he met her. He had been trying to work on his homework when her cat Nox scared him. Then they met at random places, like the Owlerly and in the hallways. Always, his heart seemed to stop for a moment and just stare at her.
When he saw the notice about the Autumn Ball, he thought it would be the perfect way to confess his feelings to her. However, now he was thinking that it might ruin their friendship. His thoughts of self doubt suddenly came to a stop as he noticed a figure entering the grounds. He squinted, heart hammering in his chest.
Was it Ada? He stood up straight and tried to put on his most confident expression, not knowing if it looked confident or not.

First Year Feelings
Ada's hart was hammering in her chest, her robes were dancing around her feet as she half ran half walked down the slope toward the figure that she was hoping was Jerry. She felt a flush creeping up her cheeks as she neared him. She had seen Jerry in common places around Hogwarts like the Owlrey were they first met and Nox had thought it a good idea to creep up on people. When they passed in the hall her hart would seem to just stop.
She bowed her head and puled up her scarf as a particularly chilly breeze brushed the back of her neck. What was she supposed to say to him! She had tried to come up with something to say to reveal her true feelings for him but "I really like you and my hart stops" and other stuff, just seemed to... weird. The rosiness in her cheeks became even redder at the thought of saying something like that in front of him.
She could see his face now, red from the cold, or was that because of her? She expected that she was blushing about that hard as well. Ada's dark hair was falling out of the messy bun that she had put it in earlier that day but not until now did she realize how stupid and dorky she must look with stray hairs flying in every direction.
She now stood right in front of Jerry. She wanted to say something cool but all that came out was "Hi." in a very small voice She blushed so hard it would appear that from a far that her head hat turned into a tomato. She smiled softly.

"Hey" Jerry replied back in probably the weirdest voice ever. He cringed automatically, thinking of how stupid he looked in front of her, with her bun coming loose in a way that said 'I don't care what you think' and her smile lighting up the world.
"Sooo, uhh" he said intelligently. He repositioned his hands in his robes and looked down, heart imploding and cheeks reddening. Jerry seemed to be at a stopping point with words. His usually natural ability to speak seemed to just vanish before her. Jerry stayed that way for a moment, looking like the world's biggest idiot before the whole reason why he had even asked to talk to her came into mind.
"Oh, yeah. Umm" Jerry said as he looked at Ada, his heart feeling like it was going to burst in his too small chest.
"So would you like to go to the Ball with me?" Jerry asked quickly, not wanting to lose the little courage he had mustered up.
He immediately cringed, thinking of straight forward that was. He looked at anything but Ada, not wanting to see her reaction fearing that it was disgust. Then Jerry decided that if he was going to do it, he might as well go through with it all.
"And I do really like you. Like, a lot." he continued, his voice gaining some of his original confidence.
"I guess I am asking if you wanna be my girlfriend?" he asked. With this sentence he crossed his fingers in his robes and sent a prayer up above.
"But only if you want to" he added quickly, the last thing he wanted to do was to make Ada do something she didn't want to.
For the first time he haphazardly looked straight into her eyes, his asking a question and awaiting an answer.

Ada's eyes lit up and the nervous smile that had just previously occupied her face was replaced by very happy and relieved one. This was what she had had been hoping for. Her hart beat in her chest like a whole lion was in there. Of course she would say yes, but the question was how.
Then it just came out, "Of course I'll go! I really like you too." This was not a very good idea she thought as soon as the words escaped her lips.
What if Jerry thought she was stupid and didn't want to go to the ball with her any more! A million thoughts, feelings and scenarios flew through her mind thinking up all the bad things that could happen next.
"Sorry, I must have sounded really stupid. I do really like you though and I would love to go to the ball with you." continued Ada in an attempt to sound more like someone who knew what they were doing, while trying to tuck some of the fly away wisps of hairs behind her ears.
Her face reddened and she averted her gaze and started counting her shoelaces. The wind whistled through her ears which she welcomed as something to keep her from looking at Jerry because it was hard to concentrate.
Who knew it was this hard to talk to someone you had a massive crush on, Ada thought fallowing a red leaf with her green eyes. She had never been to a ball before but that made sense as she had never been asked out before.
She turned her eyes back to Jerry. She blushed not knowing what else to say.Reducio@Jerry Brown
