“Why have you been acting so weird lately?” Jean asks, only being granted the view of the back of your head on your walk back to the Gryffindor common room.

He doesn’t understand, you have been acting weird all day. At first it was vague responses at breakfast, moody shrugs and whatnot. That, he just chalked up to being a girl thing.

But as the day went on, and you saw that he didn’t know what had you so bothered, Jean soon realized that your weird behavior was only directed toward him!

What was indifference soon turned into passive aggression… subtle dirty looks and pretending you didn’t hear him when he tried to talk to you during lessons.

“Goddamnit, stop!” Jean snaps, trying to keep up with you as you bound up the stairs to get to your dorm.

You don’t even look behind you when you the girlish yelp of surprise once the steps under him suddenly melt together to form a stone slide. In an instant, his arms pinwheel for balance before his feet give out from under him, sliding down until tumbling ungracefully onto the common room floor.

He springs to his feet, smoothing down his hair as he tries to figure out what the hell just happened.

“An enchantment placed by Godric Gryffindor…” You call out from the top step, arms crossed over your chest with a barely contained smug expression. “Keeps boys from sneaking into the girls’ dormitories…”

Jean can only stare up at you dumbly, snapping back into reality when he glances at a few third-year girls giggling at his embarrassing fall they just witnessed.

He feels a flush creep up his neck and to his ears, reaching his breaking point.

“Will you—?” He grits through his teeth, stomping toward the stairs until he’s at the closest point he can get without the stairs turning on him again. “Stop being a priss and come back down here?”
