A part of me wants to point out that he would probably never say yes to going on a date with me, but his shove is playful and teasing and reminds me so much of my teammates that I don't even mind. I'm still blushing furiously, I know, but I haven't really had a chance to talk to anyone about Simon aside from my vlog followers and suddenly the opportunity is too good to turn down.

"His name's Simon," I tell him, keeping my own voice low. It's not really a secret at all; I'm not hiding it, but I think maybe I'm a little nervous to let everyone know just yet if only so I won't have to explain my embarrassment to everyone if (when?) Simon decides he doesn't like boys so much after all. Or, worse, decides he just doesn't like me. "He's actually pretty new here, I only just met him a couple weeks ago. But he's about my age and really really nice and he's a wizard. Like, an actual real-life one. Like Harry Potter! He has the accent and everything."
