glances around nervously Hey, uh, you... umm... fancy the Yule Ball with me?
stammers Y-you know, the... the dance? At the end of the year? I was just wondering if... well, if you'd like to go with me.
Well, not exactly... I mean, it's more like going as friends... but maybe it could turn into something more... if you're interested.
I'm not into dudes but ok
Oh, that's cool! I mean, I respect your preferences and all. So, uh, do you wanna go as friends then?
Great! Friends it is then. smiles warmly I'm really looking forward to the Yule Ball, and having you there as my friend will make it even better.
Hey, are you okay? Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to upset you... reaches out to touch Bollake's arm gently
It's alright, you don't have to explain. If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you. Just remember, I'm your friend, no matter what.
gently squeezes Bollake's arm If you ever need someone to talk to or if there's anything I can do, just let me know.
Alright then, I'll see you later. Enjoy the rest of your day. waves goodbye and walks away
rushes back to Gryffindor common room, deep in thought What did I do wrong? Did I misread the situation? Should I have pushed further?
approaches Bollake with a determined look Hey, Bollake, can we talk for a moment?
takes a deep breath Look, I've been thinking a lot about our conversation yesterday.
pauses, searching for the right words I realized that I should have been more understanding and accepting of your feelings.
puts a hand on Bollake's shoulder I want you to know that I truly care about you, Bollake. Your happiness and well-being are important to me.
smiles warmly It's just... I want us to be able to be ourselves around each other, without any pressure or expectations.
So, how about we start fresh? Let's leave the Yule Ball conversation behind and focus on getting to know each other better.
