Chapter 11 - The Ghost of his Stepbrother

Time pasted quickly for the students of Hogwarts, Halloween was tomorrow, and from what Agatha had observed, Sophie hadn't tried the love potion on Tedros yet. Agatha was relieved with this, but at the same time, nervous because she didn't know when Tedros or if  Tedros was going to develop an irrational love for Sophie. She just hoped that the drop of antidote in the love spell would reverse any effects.

Agatha dropped her books onto the library table. All though, Agatha was trying hard to teach Sophie, her friend still made no effort, and often, when the two girls had planned to meet in the library, Sophie wouldn't show, leaving Agatha waiting alone in the library for hours.

Today was one of those days.

Agatha kept glancing at the clock. Sophie was an hour late already, and the library was starting to clear out.

Agatha looked at the library tortoise, who was giving her a sympathetic look. Agatha sighed and looked at her shoes. She sniffled softly. There must be something so forgettable about her.

She felt someone slide into the seat next to her. She lit up, and lifted her head to see- "Tedros?"

He smiled at her. "Chaddick said he saw you in here alone. I thought I'd keep you company." He dropped his smile. "Have you been crying?"

"What?" Suddenly she became aware of the heavy tears in her eyes. She blinked to try and get the to go away, but that forced them out of her eyes and down her cheeks. "I- no!" she tried to wipe away the tears, but more spilled down her face. "I- I'm not crying-"

Tedros pulled her into a hug. "What happened."

Agatha was still as a statue in his arms for a moment. Then she rested her eyes on his shoulder, and gripped behind his neck. "What's so forgettable about me?"

Tedros pulled away so he could look her in the eyes. "Nothing. You're the most memorable thing in this school."

Agatha sniffled. "Not to Sophie."

"I know. But, you are to me," Tedros said.

Agatha looked him in the eye. "R-really?"

"Of course." Tedros wiped up all her tears. "You're my best friend."

Agatha smiled though tears. "You're mine."

Tedros smiled. "Why don't I take you back to Ravenclaw?"

"Alright," Agatha said, packing up her books.

Tedros frowned, helping her stuff all her large books into her book bag. "Were you trying the teach a whole school?"

"No, just Sophie," Agatha said.

Tedros laughed, and put the bag over his shoulder. "I'll carry it for you."

"Thanks," Agatha blushed.

=====

Agatha and Tedros trudged up the Ravenclaw steps. "God, it would be a pain to have to walk up here everyday," Tedros said.

"It is, believe me," Agatha said.

Tedros laughed. "Are the riddles hard?"

Agatha shook her head. "No, not really."

Tedros nodded, knowing that 'not really hard' to Agatha was probably the equivalent to 'extremely impossible' for Tedros.

Agatha and Tedros stopped at the Ravenclaw knocker. Agatha turned to the Gryffindor. "Thanks for walking me here."

Tedros smiled. "We should do it more often."

"I'd like that a lot," she smiled. She stepped onto the step above Tedros, so the two were at the same eye level. "More than a lot," she whispered. She pressed her lips to his cheek gently. Her lips lingered for longer than they needed to, but Tedros wasn't complaining.
