The morning always seemed like the time Logan could clear his mind for the day that was about to begin in the hectic place we all know and love. Hogwarts. He was sleeping in his dorm when a Gryffindor guy woke him up and told him to meet Alina on the grounds. As expected, he washed up and dashed through the halls to meet up with her.
He took a turn and started to head for the grounds. When got there, the first thing he saw was a girl. Alina. He grinned and said,
"Just can't stay away, can you."
He ran towards her and gave a big hug. Naturally, Logan wouldn't like being woken up. He was at a sleepover with Travis and when he got woken up, he punched Travis square in the nose. He didn't want to do it but it was like a self-defense mechanism he had adopted when he was little. He took a seat next to her and said,
"So, what's going to happen today. Quidditch, exploring, talking 'bout the dance. I wanna know why you woke me up so early."
He locked eyes with her and waited for an answer. He didn't really care what they were doing, as long as he was doing it with Alina. He loved hanging out with Alina. It just seemed natural. Just like the relationship he had with his muggle friends or Damion. It wasn't planned or forced. It just happened.

"Maybe it was to make sure you weren't going to back out on the dance. I did order my dress already," she said nonchalantly, trying not to give anything away, "maybe it was to share an early morning breakfast of a doughnut that I have in my bag. Maybe it was to help you train and get into shape for quidditch. Or...maybe I just wanted to see that handsome face of yours," and her voice lowered at that one because his gaze had connected directly with hers.

She smiled. "Either way, it all comes down to just as you said - can't stay away," and she shrugged, like it was some big feat that she didn't need to try even doing because it was useless and futile.

"I thought maybe we could go for a little run, maybe catch the sunrise by the Great Lake and then come back and hang out a little before starting our day. I don't like when my friends are in different houses, it's hard to find time to see them. To see you." She had that experience last year with her twin sister when she was sorted into Slytherin although now the distance was further that she transferred to Beauxbatons.

"I used to hate that Hufflepuff seemed all...as I put it...sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows and, well, sadly I think I turned into just that," but she smiled, proud of it. "So the sunshine can be the sunrise and, well, instead of lollipops and rainbows this morning you get a doughnut and Alina. Sound fair?"

Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.

Logan liked hanging out with Alina, but his wide grin turned into a small smile when she started running scenarios at him nonchalantly.
She finally said he was gonna get a sunrise, a doughnut and Alina. He said,
"I don't care as long as I get Alina"
Logan was thinking about the dance a lot and he just said,
"Um... Why did you pick me? You could have picked a Hufflepuff and that would have made things easier. Don't say I'm a great person because there have to be other hufflepuff guys."
Logan had a weird, yet somewhat destructive habit of judging his self-worth. He was literally asking Alina to ditch him for someone else. That, he didn't want
"Just forget I ever said that"
He smirked at her and said,
"It's not everyday I go out with a smart, nice and pretty girl. Huh, a trifecta.
He realized Alina had every quality he liked and wanted. She was smart, really pretty, and on top of that, she didn't even try to hurt me, physically or emotionally. He was gonna dance with her in a literally magical dance. He couldn't pass this up. If he upset her, he might never get another chance.
"You can have your doughnut. I suddenly have this strange craving for lemon drops. Got any more of those?

"You've found yourself the right girl, I'm never without lemon drops," she said as she opened up her bag. Taking out a smaller cellophane bag she took out one and was going to place it in his hand but smiled and instead held it up to his lips for him to take it from her.

"I want to show you something," she said to him and she took hold of his hand and began to lead him to the Wooden Bridge of Hogwarts. "Keep up, now," she said as she began up the steps. Lots of steps. SO many steps. If this didn't get one awake in the morning or training for quidditch, nothing would. Yet it was worth it because once at the top, she took his hand again and brought him with her to the center of the covered wooden structure.

There the sun was just rising over the horizon of the Scottish Highlands of the Grounds of the School and she looked out at the landscape before them, resting her head against his shoulder as she did so. She also pulled out her bag of lemon drops and offered it to him in case he wanted to take some more.

The sun rose a little higher and she finally moved her gaze from the natural sight to him and smiled. She took his hand another time and led him over to the stone gazebo with benches at one end and the two sat down. "Thank you for joining me this morning and not going back to sleep or being all grumpy." She took a seat on one of the benches and pulled him down beside her. Alina then took another lemon drop from the bag and held it up to show him. "Want another?" she asked him, smiling a little nervously. "If so, you'll have to take this one," and her eyes watched his as she placed it into her mouth. Yes, she was baiting for him to kiss her.

Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.

She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the wooden bridge where we could watch the sun rising over the highlands. She leaned her head on his shoulder. A few days ago, he would be very uncomfortable with this, but now, he actually felt happy. She grabbed him yet again and took him to a gazebo and we sat down.
She was happy Logan joined her and didn't get angry or go back to bed.
"I'd hang out with you anytime, any day"
His gaze was still fixed on the sunrise. It was so beautiful he almost broke a tear. Alina brought him back to reality with a lemon drop and she did the unexpected. She put it in her mouth and said it had to be that one. If Logan was a robot, right now, his circuits would be sparking. Was she doing what he thought she was doing?
Then it happened, Logan went for the lemon drop.

Reducio

It happened so fast Logan's brain didn't have enough time to process all the available options or sense what was happening.
Alina was right. Lemon drops truly make everything better. Everything felt different. A girl's lips had touched his.
An explosion could go off behind them and he wouldn't care. All he seemed to understand was that he kissed a girl. Not just any girl. Alina.
"Whoa"
Unfortunately, that was all he could think of saying.

Alina totally knew what she just did and blushed, glancing down because she probably shouldn't have done that...but she wanted to. She glanced back up though because he had accepted her invitation of sorts, therefore that must have meant he wanted to. Logan was the type to have said something if he didn't, or gotten up from the bench they were sitting upon.

She looked forward, out to that view of the grounds before glancing to him and breaking out into a smile. "I uhh..." she felt she should say something to him in response for her actions, but what? The smile alone though showed that it was a rather positive experience.

Now feeling speechless, she laughed a little. "I can a pretty forward person but I didn't realize I was THAT forward of a person," she finally found some words. "...I hope that was okay," the act of baiting him to kiss her anyways. Sure they were going to the upcoming Fall dance together, but that didn't mean he didn't maybe fancy other girls or even had met some new ones recently that he wished he asked instead.

"I mean, on my end it was MORE than okay," she meant the kiss itself, trying to say that no matter his experience, it was quite a nice one. She smiled again, feeling a little nervous. She was babbling and not quite sure what she was trying to say to him, but she wanted him to know that if he felt uncomfortable at all by the situation, then she was sorry...yet she really wasn't that sorry for what she did because it just felt like the thing to do. She often felt comfortable around him, even to do such things as she had done.

Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.

@Alina Rosier

Right now, the last thing on Logan's mind was the lemon drop. He just kissed a girl when a few months ago, he ran away when one approached him.
A wild flurry of emotions rushed through him. He wasn't sure if he was happy, sad or just plain confused. He continued to stare at Alina. He forgot why he was here in the first place or what happened that caused the kiss. He was happy that Alina was his friend, but why did they kiss?
He didn't even realize how much of a crush he had on Alina. He did everything she wanted to do, he accepted all she gave him, he even dropped everything he planned on doing just to go hang out with.
She said she liked the kiss. He was happy she didn't overreact. He just looked at her and said,
"I-I.... Uhh... I liked it too."
He suddenly felt slow, dumb and bright red. He didn't think she fancied him, he just thought I was a simple mutual friendship. Surely there were other guys who liked Alina. She was too awesome to be just ignored.
After she kissed him, quidditch games, the sunrise or even the dance hardly seemed worthy anymore.
"The kiss was great. But why did you bait me? Don't get me wrong I like you too!

Alina wasn’t sure if it was a simple question of curiosity or a bit of an interrogation. Maybe she had this all wrong and Logan just wanted a friend and since she was a girl, an obvious date to the dance. She had been so foolish.

She looked down and played with her hands nervously. What was she supposed to say when she spoke? She feared no matter what it was, her voice would break and emotions would show. She didn’t like when people saw her less than confident.

Her gaze moved back out to the now sunlit landscape before then, blanketing the area with a glowing warmth from the rising sun.

“I umm...” ... She what? She didn’t want to apologize because she wanted to do it. Why had she been so stupid? So foolish? “...I Uh, I think that it may be best if I go...”

Go back to her dorm and close the curtains around her bed and shut out the world and her own stupidity.

“I’m sorry if you missed out on some of your sleep this morning. I didn’t mean to intrude...” on his time, his space. Any of it.

She tried to look back to him but just knew she couldn’t so closed her eyes and turned. “I’ll see you around, Logan,” she said quickly and darted down the length of the bridge.

Let your confidence shine, pretty girl.
