⠀⠀⠀Atticus Accardi hadonly been with the Ravenclaw folks for a dinner and the whole house was absolutely smitten by him. Good looks, smooth talks, cheeky winks here and there, indirect flirting, poised, witty and basically just perfection. Even Manon had an extremely hard time trying to keep herself away and not fall for his aura of charm and charisma.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀He sat on the bench in front of her, two seats to her left and two funny stories away from scoring himself the Potter girl and this was painfully obvious to even Dumbledore who sat at the staff table, arms standing up on the table surface, supported on elbows and hands clasped together. A thin, knowing smile had found it's way on to his face as his piercing blue eyes flashed behind half-moon spectacles.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀But apparently, this was not happening on Regulus Black's watch. The boy himself had lost his appetite, despite the fact that he had eaten nothing all day, leaving his lamb chops to go cold as he glowered at the new guy and the wide, entranced grin on Manon's face. Fuck, he was sure he could see goddamn sparkles in her eyes.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Regulus was trying very hard to not vomit but it was becoming increasingly difficult as seconds passed.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Avery, the great friend he was, eyed him with a wide, teasing smirk on his face as he poked the Black boy in the side with his wand. The exaggerated flinch and snakey hiss he'd gotten in answer was priceless; the boy had almost fallen off the bench.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Regulus snapped his neck to his right to glare at an almost laughing-to-tears Avery.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀"What the absolute fuck, do you want, Avery?
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Still highly amused, Avery straightened and nodded his head in Manon's direction. "Not gonna do something about that?"
