Hyacinth was very excited about today. Her birthday had been on Tuesday, but it was the weekend after–the 24th–and she was excited to be meeting with Ian, her boyfriend. It still felt incredibly surreal to be going steady with someone, especially someone who had already left school. It was not weird because of the age gap, they weren’t far off in age, but because she was in school and he wasn’t around where she was all the time. She missed him a lot, and wanted to be around him all the time. Unfortunately, he couldn’t always be there. He had a grownup job. She was eager to please him, though, excited, and happy.
Now officially eighteen, she felt like a true adult. She was getting a little old for the kids drama around school and instead really wanted something solid and stable. While she was enjoying her ballet classes in Hogsmeade on the weekends, knowing she was going to play the White Swan for the premier this year, she would rather have the time to spend with Ian. She had told her instructor she would not be there today, and instead went to meet Ian at The Magic Neep. She was nervous. He remembered her birthday, but she hoped he hadn’t changed his mind about dating her. She would be devastated if he did.
She smiled when she saw him in the distance, jogging to get to him faster. “Hey.” She grinned, reaching out to touch his hand. “I missed you.” She offered, leaning in for a hug. “I really was excited to see you, Ian.” He confessed with a smile and a blush. “Did you miss me?” She wondered, hoping he said yes.
“What do you want to do today?” She wondered, unsure if he had something up his sleeve or not.
