Saoirse stood outside the Herbology classroom, waiting for Benjamin. Dumbledore had sent her on an errand down the greenhouses and the professor thought she was one of his seventh years. Benjamin stood up for her and cleared away any and all confusion and she was wanted to thank him.
Benjamin left the classroom a little while after the second to last student left. Saoirse followed him.
"Hey! Ben! I wanted to thank you!" she said.
Benjamin looked at Saoirse and smiled, "You don't have to. I just wanted to do the right thing."
Saoirse laughed nervously, looking down to the floor, "Um, listen. Ben? Uh.... I wanted to ask, uhm.... if you were, i dunno, ever free one of the afternoons we head down to Hogsmeade?"
Benjamin flustered, "Are you asking me on a date?"
Saoirse was all of sudden flustered, too, "Uhm. I think so. I don't really know how it should sound."
Benjamin laughed awkwardly, looking into her eyes.
"I would love to, actually. This weekend or next?"
Saoirse was surprised Benjamin didn't hesitate. She dumbly smiled and nodded. When she realized he'd asked her a this or that question, she quickly said,
"This Sunday I'm free if you are."
Benjamin smiled, "Sounds good. See you Sunday. Three Broomsticks, right?"
Saoirse nodded slightly. Benjamin smiled and did the most old-fashioned thing she'd ever seen. Benjamin took her hand in his and pressed a kiss to her knuckles. Then he smiled awkwardly and walked away.
Saoirse felt her heart flutter upwards in her chest. She felt her cheeks burning, but her heart felt happy. She had a date with Benjamin Scamander.
