It had been a little over a week since the whole incident with Seo and his fangirl.

The pair had not spoken since, let alone see each other over the time period.

Louis had blamed himself for it because he assumed that he was at fault for their distance. For not properly thanking her and for saying she shouldn't have done what she did.

He realized his mistake because it was as if he was saying that she was helpless if it came to a fight. It was almost saying that he had no faith that she would result in victory.

It was quite an insult himself.

When he realized that, Louis had ended up overthinking and secluding his thoughts to how and make things right.

He barely spoke and kept himself occupied—though that was not how his time was all spent.

One day, in the great hall—while listening to his cousin's in the Gryffindor table, the conversation took a turn for the worst.

The conversation was started by Roxanne as she brought up the topic about a girl that James was currently interested in.

"I don't know Rox...I know I asked Al and all, but it was mainly because I wanted to know if she's been okay. I'm not comfortable hearing what you know unless it comes from her directly" Fred explained

James placed his hands on the table," Well, I'm not Fred, so what is it you know?" He turned to his cousin

Roxanne discreetly looked at her brother who pursed his lips," James—"

"No, I'm not about your morals Fred, she is my friend as well, and if someone knows something, I'd take the chance, if it meant getting answers" James stated

Louis perked his head up and remembered a few weeks ago on how Seo ranted about seeing a girl use some kind of Charm over a mediocre reason of being jealous.

It was then the moment of Seo coming to his defence came to the light. Another reason added to the guilt he already felt.

Lous let out a breath as he folded his arms," I'm not sure James—You know, I heard from a certain housemate of mine that the reason for Elodie's not being around, is because she saw you and some girl snogging"

James eyes widened at his words while Fred snapped his head to him," What?!"

"Hold on!" Roxanne also had her head turn to him," I thought you fancied Elodie?! Why were you—What in Merlin's name, James?!"

"Wait—" James raised his hands," Hold on! I did no such thing!"

"I suspected that to be the case" Louis dipped his head," Someone used a charm, to make it seem like Elodie was seeing James snogging someone"

"What?!" Fred and Roxanne turned to the Ravenclaw Weasley

"So, I been set up?" James asked slowly

Louis bobbed his head "It's a common thing that people do, to others they find as a threat" he clarified," My housemate, Seo, she is an expert in charms, more so better than me actually. She was there, on both incidences, the day Elodie looked like she was staring hurt at nothing, and the other with—"

"Blake?" Roxanne asked making him look at her," Yes, she was in the library when the pair of them talked"

"Blake?" Fred repeated," As in Blake Zabini?"

"Yeah" Roxanne answered

"Who is Blake exactly?" James questioned

"Her Ex-Boyfriend" All of them answered together, making him gape

"With the look on your face, it tells me you never heard about him," Louis said in amusement

James scowled at him," No, I have not"

"Well, can't blame you, since you probably had your tongue down some random girls throat" Fred and Roxanne both looked at Louis' for his comment.

"Louis" Fred warned him, but James was already standing up about to pounce at the Ravenclaw, but Roxanne grabbed his arm," James, don't!"

"You piece of—"

Louis just smirked at him," I'm just telling like it is James"

"Louis enough!" Fred scolded him but Louis sent him a glare," No—I am sick and tired of everyone in the family acting like what he did was not something to be brought up! You have no idea how hard it is for me having to deal with being quarter Veela!"

The three all froze to his sudden outburst and confession. Louis gritted his teeth, not caring if he was attracting attention," People say it's a blessing, but no—it's a Bloody curse because it just makes it hard for us to actually believe in love" He turned his head to James," You have no idea, how painful it is James, you might have stopped, but have you really considered your actions!? Have you actually learned from it?"

James kept silent to his question making Louis laugh," Of course you didn't" He didn't even wait for a response back since he left the table, in fact, none of them could say anything for the matter.

Louis never realized how much anger he had truly pent up. He was taken by surprise at the secret he swore to keep hidden.

Though, while admitting it all he wanted was to be in the company of Seo. However, with how things were at the moment, he was unsure of what to do.
