What Magic?

Chapter 31

"Astronomy was so boring!" I groan before another piece of meat into my mouth.

"I mean I agree but I also think it's quite fascinating. Exploring the universe around our small planet, studying the stars, and learning their names as well as the other planets," Alice explains her opinion and I can see where she's coming from but I don't like how she made it sound so easy.

"I'm guessing you're passing?" I ask, not to say I'm not passing which I am but only barely, and she nods enthusiastically.

"Hey Ser!" Teddy exclaims as he sits next to me, which he doesn't do often. "How's it going?"

"Good, I guess," I respond lifting my eyebrows as I look at his friends who are staring at us. Then out of no where Teddy kisses my cheek and I look at him with shocked, wide eyes but mostly confusion. Yeah definitely confusion.

"I was dared to kiss a first year that I'm not related to, by blood or other means, and I thought it would be the least awkward with you so," He explains causing me to sigh and chuckle a bit understanding his predicament.

"Oh okay that makes a bit more sense, I'm fine as long as it doesn't upset Victoire," I respond smiling at him, Victoire and I have become good friends and I don't want to mess that up.

"Oh she's fine, she knows I love her and she knows you wouldn't try to steal me from her," He responds confidently and I can't help but laugh. "Well, Anyways nice talking I've got to get back, catch you later."

"That was strange," Phoebe remarks as she looks at where Teddy was was sitting with his friends and messing around.

"Not really, Ted will most likely do any dare you ask him to do, but I've heard of a few that were too extreme that he didn't say yes to," I say before stuffing more food in my mouth.

"Like what exactly?" Elliot asks seeming to be intrigued by the topic of things they Teddy won't do.

"Well, he said that in his third year he had once been dared to shag a first year which he didn't do because 1) no and 2) he was dating Victoire at the time," I explain as hey stare at me surprised by what I had said. "Also last year they had dared him to fly 150 meters into the air on his broom and jump off which he had easily said no to doing."

"Goodness, What are his friends? Sadists?" Phoebe asks in shock and disgust at the thought of people actually daring him to do those things. "Well, I'm glad he had said no."

"Me too," I say nodding my head in agreement. I look over at Teddy's friends who seem to be doing another dare or something as they are looking at the Gryffindor table which means they don't see me staring. Many of them are quite handsome, I can't deny that.

Suddenly, one of them turns and looks right into my eyes and he seems a little startled at first but a smirk quickly finds its way into his face. He winks at me and I can't help but blush before I quickly turn back to my friends. I wonder who he is.

"What's his name?" I ask Phoebe wondering if she would know since she's been here longer.

But instead of Phoebe answering it's Elliot, "That's Justin Foldwin, he's a fifth year and captain of the Quidditch team. He is very popular with the ladies if you know what I mean. But other than that he's a complete mystery, on the other hand his brother Tristan is a fourth year in Ravenclaw and an open book. While their little sister is a first year in Slytherin I'm not sure what her name is, they don't talk about her much."

"How do you know them so much about them?" Phoebe asks confused since he never seems to hangout with those group of guys.

"Well, all the guys are sharing a large dorm this year, which is a bit strange, and he talks to his friends all the time about that kind of stuff but never in specifics," He answers as if it was no big deal. "But I do know Tristan he's a pretty good guy, very humble if you ask me."

"Also, Molly and Tristan are like best friends, I bet they'll starts dating next year," Lucy remarks as she appears in the seat next to me.

"Hey, a girl and a guy can be best friends! I mean look at Ser she is best friends with Scorpius and Albus," Alice remarks a little irritated by that comment though I'm not entirely sure why.

"I know that but Molly and Tristan have been flirting so much lately they can't not get together," Lucy says matter-of-factually while popping a grape into her mouth. "And anyways I don't doubt you'll be dating one of those boys soon."

I am so shocked by what she just said that I start choking on my food and Alice starts patting my back to help me not die. "What!?!" I gasp out when I can finally breathe.

"Come on they are both cute and you guys are all really close, it'll happen eventually," She says sit so easily I can't help but blush at the thought and hide my face in my hands.

"Lucy stop!" Alice retorts trying to help me out of my embarrassment but it's too late, I just hope his doesn't make me awkward around Scorpius and Albus. Though I guess that is entirely up to me, and it's not like it's true it's just Lucy's opinion. I'll just brush it off as such and not think of it again.

I take a deep breath, wait until I feel the heat leave my cheeks, and then take my head out of my hands. "Just because you say it's going to happen doesn't mean it is," I respond just staring at her with 'you can't change my mind' kind of face.

"Alright, but when it does happen I'm going to say 'I told you so!' And it's going to be the best moment of my life," Lucy says lifting her hands in surrender with the same 'you can't change my mind' face. We have our own opinions and are both stubborn so we'll have to wait and see. "Anyways classes will be starting soon."
