And there she was

"Waugh!" Edward cried out, rather ungracefully.

His head snapped up, staring tiredly at the red-haired girl in front of him. But something was wrong with said Hawkins that day... Edward examined her face for a few moments before noticing the tea she brought him.

"Ahh," he began, still a little drowsy. There were most likely crease marks from his sleeves on his cheek. "Thank you, Lou! You know just what to bring me at the right time, ja?"

He chuckled a little bit and graciously accepted the drink from her. Thank god! No more of that nasty coffee rubbish...

Edward drank a little from it before noticing Lou's face again. Oh no... He knew that face. When girls have been crying for longer than they should, and their lovely makeup gets ruined. Edward's insides churned when he thought about it. Here she was, bringing him tea, trying to make him feel better, and she had been crying...!?

"Lou...!" he began, the concern in his voice rising impeccably. "Have... Have you been crying?"

Ohhh how he reminded her of Mr. Darcy! Sometimes, when she was day-dreaming, she thought herself Elizabeth Bennent and he her Darcy and, oh! How pleased she was, even if she knew it would never be so (for one, she definitely was not as smart as Lizzie; she also did not have annoying little sisters who needed to be rescued by strapping men; she also definitely would've done Wickham first, for, strapping though Darcy was, she could never resist a man in uniform

If only Edward knew about these day dreams. He would tell Lou that of course she was as smart as Lizzie, and that if she ever needed him to rescue someone, all she had to do was ask him. But, since he didn't know of them, there wasn't much to be done, was there?

As she stuttered, Edward immediately picked up on it. Of course she had been crying. He'd known Lou ever since the first day she walked into his Transfiguration class, and she was indeed a terrible liar.

"Someone who'd seen a ghost, love?" Edward stated, trying to show her how bad the lie really was. "And they were... scared."

Shaking his head, he got up from his desk and walked around it, pulling up a chair from one of the student desks. He motioned for her to sit down before pulling up a chair for himself.

"Would it be too bothersome for you," he began, a serious tone of concern in his voice now. "For you to tell me what's wrong, Fräulein?"
