"hey rikiiii, can you help me with my astronomy homework?"

with a mouth full of dumplings, riki turns his head to see a girl sliding into the bench next to him, pushing her assignment into his hands.

riki took a quick glance at her. long black hair, a black pair of glasses, ravenclaw... a ravenclaw?!??

he scanned through the first page of the assignment, about to give remarks to the girl when he feels a tap on his shoulder.

he whips his body around, seeing a shy hufflepuff looking at the floor.

the girl stammers, "hey-y... can i talk to you for a sec?"

before riki knew it, 4 more girls from each house scurry to him, all requesting for something to do with him.

but why?

he didn't even know them.

🪄

by the end of the day, after being led around all over the castle, he had his answer.

as it turns out, all of the girls ended up confessing to him.

it was a strange, lucky day for him.

he hadn't even done anything different recently. well, maybe he did change up his hairstyle.

it was then he realised, he could take advantage of this situation.

and in his mind, a particular girl surfaced.

with a sly smile plastered on his face, he quickly whipped out parchment paper and scribbled hastily, before folding it into an envelope and passing it to his owl.

the owl received the envelope through its beak, and flew out of his dorm window.

🪄

the next morning, riki woke up with a letter by his side.

he rubbed his bleary eyes before tearing the envelope open, scanning the calligraphy on the parchment.

i'm pleased to hear from you so quickly. meet me at my dorm?

riki's eyes bulged at the last sentence.

he started contemplating whether this was a good idea.

but he thought, something had to be done.

after getting ready, he grabbed his coat, smoothening his hair in the mirror, before dashing out of his dorm to head to the ravenclaw tower.

🪄

"i'm strangely capricious, i'm sour or i'm sweet. to housewives am useful, to children a treat. yet i freely confess more mischief i have done than anything else that is under the sun." said the talking eagle knob at the entrance of the common room which stunned riki.

someone from behind approached him and gently said, "apple."

the eagle nods satisfactorily, a "click" signalling the door opened.

riki turned his head, only for him to be stunned a second time.

umi.
