Lily's POV

*2 and a half weeks later*

—————

The past few weeks had been different, to say the least. Xavier and Andrea and I had continue hanging out often, and he had now even started regularly joining us at our lunch table.

Andrea and I were even considering letting him have a Harry Potter marathon with us, which in our book was sacred territory.

I hadn't confronted Xavier about the bet yet, because I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he tries to make a move on me and finds out I already know.

"Do you think it's time?" I looked over at Andrea.

She nodded, "It's time. I think he's ready for it."

"Xavier, do you want to have a Harry Potter marathon with us?" I questioned, looking over at him.

"Of course, this is perfect timing, because I have a gift for you two." He answered, getting up from the couch and walking a room down.

"What is it?" I asked, once he returns from the kitchen.

"Just close your eyes." He walked back around the couch with a big box.

Andrea and I closed our eyes, and he placed soft materiel in our hands.

"Open." He instructed, and Andrea and I both gasp in awe at our gifts.

"You got us Harry Potter robes?" Andrea asked excitedly, both of us holding up our outfits.

"Yep, and I made sure to get our houses right." He nodded gesturing to the different house crests.

"Oh my god, these look so good!" I said, running my fingers over the Gryffindor crest.

"I love mine! Where's yours?" Andrea asks, glancing at Xavier before looking back at her Ravenclaw robe.

"Right here." He pulled a Hufflepuff robe from the box.

"I can't believe you got these for us, let's put these on and then start watching one of the movies." I suggested and and Andrea and Xavier nod.

We all put our robes on, Andrea with her Ravenclaw one, Xavier with his Hufflepuff, and me with my Gryffindor ones.

"Put the movie on!" Andrea instructed enthusiastically, sitting down on the couch to my left.

I quickly grabbed the remote and sat in the space between Andrea and Xavier, scrolling through the tv apps until I find HBO Max.

After a moment more of searching, I click play on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

For then next two and a half hours, we watched the movies and ate snacks. Andrea and I even said the lines as characters did and when Xavier joined in we were shocked. We had underestimated how much of a Harry Potter fan he is.

The best part of watching the movie with Xavier and Andrea was being able to be nerds together.

"This movie never gets old." Xavier said as I was turning off the tv.

Andrea nodded in agreement and we started getting up and grabbing our things after carefully taking of our robes and putting them back in the box.

"What do you guys want to do now?" I asked while we walked through the hall.

"I have to get home for dinner." Andrea answered and I nodded.

"Do you want to meet at my house?" I glanced over at Xavier and he nodded, while Andrea raised a brow and frowned, but didn't say anything.
