“I know.” Lestia said softly. She knew that they could have been friends after they broke up. They were friends now, but they could have kept in contact more instead of the sparse meetings they had over the years. And she also knew that if they had kept in contact, she would still be in love with him right now. As it was, just being here with him was bringing back all the memories of the times they had together. He was also reminding her of the reasons she fell for him in the first place.

When Luke pulled her down, Lestia sighed. Hearing him go on about Lacey was… oh, she didn’t know. It was typical of Lace not to know about Quidditch, she was so caught up with her son and shop. And she should tell Luke about Lacey being her best friend. She should. Surely there was some code against dating your friend’s ex boyfriend. Hearing him go on about how he still thought about her brought in mixed feelings. On one hand, she was glad he called. On the other, what was she? Someone to call in just because he didn’t have anyone else? Les didn’t trust herself to speak right now. Who knew what would come out of her mouth?

“Urgh!” Lestia punched Lucas in his chest with some strength after he finished speaking, stood up and looked down at him. “Yes, you are a stupid idiot.” The brunette repeated his words. She looked at him for a couple of seconds, knowing what her answer to his question was going to be. It wasn’t surprising that Les had imagined this instant, that Luke would realise his grave mistake and ask her to take him back. But not like this! Not after telling her about Lacey. Her friend had been though more than she had and deserved someone good. Should it be Lucas? Didn’t she deserve someone as lovely as Luke as well? “I hate you.” Lestia said, before seating herself back onto the bed. She planted a kiss on his lips before speaking again. “Why did you have to wait years to ask me that?”

The thing about being friends with your ex was tough. Some people could do it like a snap with the fingers, but it would just be awkward, because often it would be like one of the parts constantly thought about kissing the other and Luke had trouble working with that. Even though, he hadn't had many girlfriends in his twenty-four years of living, he knew now that it was best to just burn your bridges after a relationship ended. Otherwise it would and could get most likely get messy. Therefore he was kind of glad that he hadn't been best friends with Lestia after their break up. It would have been so painful for him - just thinking about her as a friend and not someone you could kiss all the time.

He had no idea how it felt for Lestia hearing about Lacey, but he was sure it couldn't be fun. How fun was it to hear that you have this great friend who you want to start a relationship with, when you don't have anyone? Not fun. If it had been the other way around, Luke would be in so many pains. Mentally. So he totally understood what she was going through, but he had never expected her to do what she did next.

Luke felt a punch in his chest - a rather hurtful one. Luckily it wasn't his un-healed leg, but it still hurt. Right away after she had done it, he looked at her trying to find her eyes and gain some eyecontact. He knew Lestia - she wasn't a "hitter" until someone hurt her and he hated himself for having hurt her. "I know I am.. And I truly hate myself for having waiting all these years." Luke said and felt himself blushing. "... I love you, Lestia Emily Hatcher. Please, do want to be my girlfriend?" He said right after she had kissed him again.

There was a dilemma going on inside Lestia right now. Or rather, there had been. Even though she knew what her answer was, there was a part in her head going on about how it was bad to even consider this. If only she didn’t know about his burgeoning relationship with Lacey. When he started speaking again, Les felt like telling him to shut up. That she didn’t want to hear anything anymore. But she had to go and look at him. He truly was her first love. How could she say no to anything he asked? When he told her that he loved her, it was like hearing him say it for the very first time.

Naturally, the conditions of their surroundings couldn’t be more different. They were in Saint Mungo’s now and if Lestia could recall, and oh how she could, they had spent a rather magical night up in the Astronomy tower. The brunette shook her head, sighing again as she did so. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Lestia said. “Don’t make me regret this, Lucas Nicholas Smith.” She patted the area where she’d punched him. “Yes. I’ll be your girlfriend. Again.” She beamed at him.

This was certainly not what she expected when she got the call from him. This was not something she expected, period.

Luke didn't doubted that her mind was a mess right now. He was pretty sure that his would be too, if his first girlfriend came to him and told him that she still loved you. So he decided to shut up while she was thinking and just give her time. The thing about saying "i love you" to someone wasn't something that happened every day in Luke's life. The fact that his parents got divorced when he was ten had left some bruises on his soul, that would never heal, he was sure. And sure, he was an outgoing boy, but he still had some trust issues, no one knew of course. He was too proud to tell anyone, sadly.

Then she started speaking again and Luke listened carefully to every word she said and nodded and then he felt a patting where she had punched him and then she said the magical word: "yes." Luke smiled happily and took her hand and intertwined their fingers and then, here at the happiest moment he had in months the door burst open and in came the old healer-nurse with some fluid in her hand. It was time for his second and healing potion. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he let go of Lestia's hand for just a moment. "Drink this and your leg should be fine!" The healer said with her manly voice. Luke did as he was told and made a face that said something about how bad this tasted like. The nurse left again and Luke felt the bone in his leg that had been broken slowly heal again. It felt weird - it kind of hurt but at the same time it felt great. After a minute or two his leg was as it had been before the accident.

Luke sat up and then stood up and walked over towards Lestia, looking rather silly and placed his arms around her neck and leaned in to kiss her on the lips. After a few minutes this way he pulled back, looked her in the eyes and removed a strand of hair from her eyes and smiled at her. "I told you, that you wouldn't regret coming here.." He said with a small smile followed by a smirk and moved his hands from her neck and placed them on her hips instead and started massaging them, while he kissed her neck with a small smirk.

The decision came easy, which was not something that surprised Lestia. Even with the added complication of Lacey, the brunette didn’t regret agreeing to be with Lucas again. Her life was now complete, if she could be so bold to say so. She had a career that she was sure she would love doing for the rest of her life, her family life was not complicated, and now she had a boyfriend. Yes, life was pretty much set for her now. Of course, there was a war going on right now and Les had recently joined the Order, but nothing was too terrible at this moment.

Lucas took hold of her hand, and Lestia smiled down at him, knowing that she had said the right answer. Just one word and they were together again. The door swung open and Lestia turned to see a Healer coming in. Ah. Was that the second potion that would heal his leg? The Healer confirmed her thoughts and stepped away while Luke drank it. She tried to hold in her giggle at the look on his face after tasting it. Potions. If she remembered something from her Potions class, it seemed that sugar made most potions useless. No wonder they all tasted horrible. Les took a glance at his leg, but if the bone was repairing itself, Lestia could not see. She didn’t have the power to see through things.

She was just about to ask if his leg was alright when he got up from the bed and came towards her. Well. That answered her question. After kissing for some minutes (truthfully, Lestia had no idea how long the kiss lasted), they broke apart. She could only look at him, voice caught in her throat as he spoke. “Are you going to do what I think you’re going to do?” She said, a little breathlessly as Luke continued with making sure she wasn’t going to regret her decision to come here.
