Chapter 39: Teatime with Guinevere

Christmas break was not yet over and Gusion was sitting on his bed staring at the window on his side. He was not allowed to go out of his house for the entire break, for he was grounded by his fianceé⁠—which he still cannot believe in, and with Guinevere's orders, the other Slytherin members were now guarding him. All of this made him cry his heart out since he misses Lesley, his Lesmione.

This is his first day of being grounded. He wrapped both arms all over his legs and he put his head over his knee. Gloomy eyes appeared on his face, he felt that he was trapped in a birdcage with double locks on it. He was so worried about Lesley right now because they were not seeing each other again due to his situation. He didn't know what happened to the love of his life right now, what if Guinevere and Hanabi did something to her right now?

"I-I miss you now... L-Lesley..." He mumbled and whispered as he was still staring at his window that shows cloudy light and snowflakes falling on it. "I miss you so much... I'm frustrated with what happened to both of us..."

At the same time, he cried and became angry at the same time in his bedroom. He tried his best to release his continuous pain from his heart. He wanted to hate his fianceé Guinevere Baroque even more but he didn't want to cause any trouble, including their arranged marriage after their graduation at Hogwarts. What he did was letting out his emotions when he was alone and pretended to be okay when someone was talking to him.

"Hey Bud," someone called him from his door.

Gusion looked at someone who called him and it was Ling Finch, he was standing at one of the sides of the doorway and his left hand was leaning on its surface. Gusion's true emotions suddenly hid deep inside him when he saw his friend. He sat regularly in his bed while Ling scrutinized his Pureblood friend for something suspicious.

"What is it, Ling?" Gusion asked, his voice was now okay compared to earlier.

"You okay? You've been there for hours on your bed." Ling asked him again.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry about me." He lied, he pushed himself to feel okay. "I'm just uh... Making myself feel comfortable."

However, Ling knew that Gusion was not okay as he observed from his eyes and his body language. He was there when Guinevere humiliated his friend and Lesley at the Noel Wizarding Ball. He wanted to help him but he thought that something bad would happen when he chose to help Gusion.

"Well okay..." Ling responded. "I'm just going to the fireplace."

Ling walked out of Gusion's bedroom, and Gusion released his emotions again by wrapping his arms through his legs again and watching the snowflakes fall. Since it was still winter, he wore his Slytherin sweater and black pajama pants while he was barefooted. His snow-white owl, Dave, sorrowfully looked at his owner who was in front of him while sitting on his birdcage. Dave gave a cheer-up tweet to his owner, and Gusion gave a sweet smile to his owl as a 'thank you' response. Gusion's smile was covered with sadness though.

Suddenly, someone was knocking on his door even though his door was open. Gusion looked again then he saw his female friend Hanabi Scarlet smirking at him. She wore a tight sweater that has green, white, and black stripes designed on it and a dark green skirt. She was also wearing green knee socks and black shoes. However, the bow on her ponytail was now colored green instead of red.

"Gusion," Hanabi called. "Your fianceé is preparing something for you, you have to get dressed because Guinevere wants you to look decent but not formal."

"Um, okay then..." Gusion responded. "But how did you let Guinevere enter our house even though she is in Ravenclaw?"

"Well, she is exempted due to the fact that you are his fianceé."
