Ryan stood motionless for a second, when he felt Reagan wrap her arms around him. His chest touching his bare skinned and scared back. Looking down, he saw her hands and forearms around his stomach. He sighed as he took in the moment and listened to her. "I love you too Reagan, no matter what.", he said in a low voice. Ryan looked down at the floor where the books were that he knocked off the table. When she mentioned school and his and the guys. Ryan was a Hufflepuff, 2 years ahead of Reagan, not really being able to be in classes with her. Also being a prefect and having enough classes where he ran out of classes to take in his 7th year. He went back to seeing her studying by herself, and he staring at her from across the courtyard. He smiled to himself. 

"No, we weren't making fun of you." he said. "They were normally teasing me for having a crush on you. They were mess with me, and tried for a couple years to get me to talk to you. But I never could. I remember being out late at nights, seeing you all around reading, or sitting by the lake." Some of the staff members at Hogwarts were aware of Ryan being an elemental and him turning into a wolf. Which is why Ryan was out on the outside of the castle prefect rounds. He could be a wolf, and not be noticed. 

"I would be a wolf, and walked around the grounds. My fur hadn't turned white at that point and was still black. I could hide. When you were out at night, I would watch you the most. I never turned you in. You weren't causing harm, just relaxing and reading." he laughed to himself for a second. "Minerva caught me one night watching you. She was her normal cat, and found me because I hadn't reported back in. She found me sitting near Hagrid's hut watching you. She asked me, if I loved you, and when I told her I think I did, she insisted that I talk to you. Minerva was actually going to set you up in a tutoring session with me for Transfigurations, and Herbology so I could and would talk to you. That woman is old, but wise. However, I refused. I was to scared back then."

Ryan removed her arms and turned around. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down at her. Ryan kissed her on the forehead as he continued to think about their days at Hogwarts. It seemed like it was so long ago. But it hadn't been that long in reality. "I felt kind bad for almost being a stalker. I had a couple times, learned you schedule and knew what classes you were in and when they were. I tried so hard back then, and who would have known, that a few years later Dean and Wendy would throw a party, hire me to bake for it, and then invite you. But Dean told me that you were coming, and that's how he got me to come.", he said through a grin. "I just still can't believe that you are standing in this house.
