Chapter 2: Stare at The Great Hall

Lesley looked away from the eyes of Gusion and focused on Professor Estes, still giving his welcome speech. He welcomed Sir Roger as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Everyone apploused as Roger stood up from the teachers' table. A few minutes later, his speech was done and he raised both his arms in front.

"Let the feast begin."

The food was already served at the four tables of each house such as steak, roasted lamb, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese and much more. At the Hufflepuff table, Harley enjoyed eating the chicken. He always ate two to three pieces every feast day along with Nana, who was also in second year. Meanwhile, at the Gryffindor table, Lesley got her roasted lamb and mashed potatoes while Granger, who was beside her, got his steak with lots of gravy.

Everyone was enjoying their meal. But there was something that didn't seem right for Lesley. While she's eating her roasted lamb, she looked at the Slytherin table and Gusion was still staring at her. But this time, he smirked. He had a meal on his plate but he didn't eat it. Lesley gave him a bit of a disgusted look and turned her head away from him. She continued eating.

"Granger, this is really ridiculous. I know he's engaged with the Baroque. But he's still staring at me, look."

Lesley made Granger turn his head while eating his steak, and he saw Gusion staring at them. Gusion's smirk became a death glare just by seeing Granger look at him and chewing his food. Granger turned his face away with a frown on his face and continued to eat. "I think he has a plan against you.", he said. "How? To treat me harshly? Paxley have always treated me badly ever since we were in first year, Granger." Lesley added. "If he does anything to you, I'll protect you, ok?", Granger reassured.

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table, Gusion remained staring at her who was still eating with Granger. Then he looked down at his plate. His friend Ling Finch, a halfblood and also at the same year as Gusion, tugged Gusion's arm. "What are you staring at, Gusion?", he asked.

"Nothing, Finch. I was thinking about something.", he said as Ling looked at him carefully and saw him looking at Lesley's direction. He became curious with what he noticed. "Is there something with that Vance witch?", he asked. Gusion had a feeling that he's inlove with Lesley even though he knew he was engaged.

"Nothing.", Gusion replied then looked to his fiance, Guinevere. She was already eating her dessert, a cheesecake, along with her friends at the Ravenclaw table. Minutes later, everyone were going back to their common room. Gusion headed to the door and went out to the Great Hall. Suddenly, his fiance called him and he turned his back to face her.

"Gusion, my darling~", Guinevere called as she went closed to Gusion. "I noticed that your hair is a bit messy. Let me fix it.", she took her wand from inside her robe. It was a a brown unicorn wand core that had a rose-themed design. She pointed it at Gusion and fixed his hair. "There. You're now handsome, my fiance", she said in a dramatic way.

Gusion noticed that she's wearing her engagement ring on her right hand while she used her wand. The ring was covered in gold and had a black diamond on it. "You's still wearing that ring?", he asked. "Of course duh. We have a fixed marriage, remember?", she informed. Without knowing. Lesley passed through with Granger and she accidentally bumped into Gusion.

"Agh, hey!" Gusion exclaimed.

"I didn't know you were here. Sorry, Paxley" Lesley apologized.

"Listen, Vance. You have to be careful next time. I don't want my fiance to get bumped by others, understand?", Guinevere said with a malicious tone in her voice along with a spoiled look. Then Granger turned Lesley's head to look away from them.
