Sunshine!
Gone was all that bloody snow and in return, bright sunlight and blooming flowers. It couldn't come soon enough, really. The students were getting a bit restless and fidgety being cooped up inside to escape the cold but now, they were invading Hogsmeade. It was a nice sight. Sat at a table outside a cafe, he rested his cup of tea in his hands as he watched people. He did that a lot, he rather enjoyed it. There was something about spring that made every single couple in the entire world wander outside, holding hands.
Harvey had never felt particularly lonely. He didn't really understand why people needed to be in a relationship. His bright blue eyes watched a couple around his age hold hands. The girl was giggling, the boy was looking at her intently. "Aww," he found himself comment as he sipped his tea, crossing his legs at the ankle and reclining in his seat.
The bright sunlight shone down, causing him to slip a pair of
sunglasses over his eyes, his blazer hung casually on the back of his seat and the sleeves of his blue shirt rolled to the elbows, exposing his pale forearms. Harvey had been here for about twenty minutes. His friends had gone off wandering as usual. One was preparing for a date and so, had no idea what to even do. As Harvey had a little sister, apparently that made him a relationship guru. His friend, Philip, had mentioned his date liked to read so Harvey had sent him into a bookshop and ordered him to buy a copy of her favourite book. That'd keep them busy.
He was content to just enjoy the peace and quiet. Once removed from it, Harvey realised how loud and insane the school really was. There were birds tweeting somewhere, how lovely! Completely relaxed and content, he hadn't seen what was coming.
"Motherf--"
With a gasp, Harvey was up and off his seat, sending his chair toppling backwards as he jumped up. The horrible shock of something ice cold connecting with his warm skin sent a jolt through his body and made him forget to breathe. He panted, whirling around, jaw set and eyes blazing…only to blink. Oh. It was a girl. Confused, he grimaced uncomfortably as a lump of frozen drink slid slowly down the curve of his spine and caused him to shudder violently. Urgh. Gross.
"Eh?" Harvey asked, confused and concerned about the welfare of his little babbling blonde midget. Sorry? "Oh it's fine," he told her gently, running a hand back through his dark hair, pulling a face to see that some of it was matted due to the sugary drink drying in the sunlight. Double gross. His eyes widened as she ran off again. "What?" He whispered, trying to keep up. "Ow!" He exclaimed as the girl tried to clean him off. Really, all she'd done was slap at him and prod him until he'd given up. "Ouch, okay, stop," he told her, grabbing her hands and smiling. "It's fine. No blood, no foul."
Letting her hands go, he placed his glasses on the table, grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it up and over his head. The spring air was crisp and he'd like to say that it was the first time he'd been shirtless in Hogsmeade but alas, it wasn't. Taking a napkin from her, Harvey wiped at the back of his neck, capturing the butterbeer as best he could. He needed to shower before he was attacked by a swarm of bees or something equally as awful.
Holding his shirt in one hand, Harvey cleaned and dried it with his wand easily, flashing her a smile as he began to button it back up. "See?" He asked. "Totally fine." Looking up, he saw the girl's friends staring at them both, causing him to blink. "Odd," he remarked. "How about I buy you another?" Harvey asked, pointing to the now empty and discarded plastic cup. "My treat?"
