it's just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Despite Edie's reminder, Barnaby still forgot his scarf when setting of for Hogsmeade earlier that day. Only to be met with an early December squall as they're heading back. Oh well, he'll just borrow her scarf next time. He already has her hat, something he never plans on giving back. Might as well start a collection.

From the time Barnaby asked Edie to the Celestial Ball, it two the two almost a year and a half to finally get together. Officially, they began dating in late into their fifth year. It took Edie nearly a whole year to recognize that yes, she is in fact crushing on her fellow Slytherin. And for that whole year, Rowan relentlessly teased her bestfriend friend over that unfortunate fact. Truthfully, Edie was doing her best to avoid these feelings. The whole idea of a relationship - having someone so close to her and being so emotionally vulnerable - it scares Edie. It's everything her instincts tell her to flee from. But she trusts Barnaby. So maybe it won't be all too bad.
