As you and Lorenzo go through Hogsmeade, you rush to a nearby booth offering new flavors of ice cream. You both get your own, but Lorenzo glances over at you, raising a brow.

"You have to try this ice cream," Lorenzo says, a playful lilt in his tone as he glances over at you, the two of you walk side by side through Hogsmeade.

He extends the ice cream cone toward you with a teasing wiggle of his brow. You take a generous bite off the top with a low, pleased hum, hiding your mouth behind your palm to keep from embarrassing yourself since in got all over your mouth and a little bit on your nose.

"Let me take you for real food at The Three Broomsticks," he adds with a grin.

"Alright, but you have to try my ice cream first," you reply, leaning closer as you extend your own cone out to him, a warm smile etched onto your lips. He leans over and takes a nibble off the top just as you had from his.

After a while of roaming the town together, you finally reach The Three Broomsticks. He opens the door for you and gestures for you to enter. As you do, he follows behind, you both scoot in on opposite sides as you await your usual order.

"So, I heard you and Theo had quite the kiss last night," Lorenzo murmurs, his tone probing as he clears his throat, cocking his head slightly in curiosity, his eyes darting over the room before settling back on you.

"He was just helping me get back at Mattheo," you admit, your eyes drifting up from the table to meet his gaze.

"I assure you he would have wanted it regardless," Lorenzo says, his voice dropping an octave. "How are you holding up after the breakup?"

"Is it crazy to say that I miss him sometimes, even though I know he's awful?" you say, your lips pursing as you avert your eyes back to the tabletop.

Lorenzo is left speechless for a few moments, shaking his head with a nervous grin etched onto his lips, his eyes falling to his lap.

"I can feel you judging me, you know," you comment, your eyes shifting up to roam over his face, the words he'd like to say stuck in his throat.

In a moment, a ripple of unease curls through you and your eyes dart away to glance around, taking in your surroundings of the pub. You don't know it, but seconds before you turned your head, Harry and a few other Gryffindors had been silently watching you for reasons unknown—maybe because of your breakup with Mattheo, or something else entirely.

"Do you feel like people are looking at us and whispering?" you ask Lorenzo, your brows furrowing in concern.

Suddenly, Lavender approaches your table, and your eyes widen at her accusation. "I can't believe you'd show up here with another guy after cheating on Mattheo with Theo last night."

"What the fuck are you talking about, Lavender? He cheated on me with a Ravenclaw girl," you scoff, your voice rising in frustration as you roll your eyes, looking at her from your seat.

"Oh please," she sneers, her tone cruel. "He told us the real story, and now you're here with Enzo too? What a slag. He deserved better."

Enzo cuts in before anything bad happens and says "Let's go before I have to break you out of Azkaban for obvious reasons," As he rises from his seat as he extends a hand.
