-chapter 20

"WHAT!?" The Voice of Gideon echoed through the Halls as he looked at Henry with a surprised expression

"So you're saying that you've fancy Victoria for like six years!?" Gideon asked, not believing of what does Henry just said to him

"Keep you voice down," Henry muttered

"And yes i do fancy Victoria for six years," Henry admitted shyly and as he let out this words from his mouth, a tinted red blush crept out from Henry's pale face "That's why i'm asking you to help me ask Victoria out to the ball..."

Gideon bit his nail as they walk through the halls, on their way to the Great Hall.

Merlin, i shouldn't have said that i'll help Riddle if he had a thing with Vicky... Gideon thought nervously

"Is there something on my face?" Henry asked, confused of why Gideon just stared at him looking nervously

Gideon snapped out and let out a fake smile

"Oh there's nothing... I've always thought that you we're gay. Just surprised Yeah — Surprised!" Gideon said

Henry rolled his eyes.

"I told you many times, i'm not gay..." Henry shrugged "Besides, So what if i'm gay? There's nothing wrong with being gay. In fact, Gays are good people..."

"Exactly! And you are a good person!" Gideon playfully replied, nudging his arm

"Sod off..."  Henry replied, rolling his eyes

"I think i'll just work it out myself..." Henry muttered shyly

"That's the spirit!" Gideon raised his hand for a high five but Henry just stared at the hand so Gideon slowly put his hand down

Henry sighed heavily as he saw Victoria with his sister Rhea sitting at the Ravenclaw table with their eyes fixed in their homework.

"Be a Gryfinndor, Henry... Be a Gryfinndor" Gideon patted Henry's head like a dog but Henry shook his head

"You do realize that i'm a Hufflepuff, do you?" Henry scowled

"Meh! You can still be brave even you're a Hufflepuff" Gideon said

Henry smiled at Gideon

Victoria stared at the blank parchment paper infront of her, thinking what the fuck she should write in her essay

She took a sip to her tea and looked at her surroundings. The Great Hall was filled by students, studying while eating. Most of them are Ravenclaws and Beauxtoon Ladies.

Victoria set her eyes to the boy sitting next to her who was has a French Toast in his mouth while his hand was writing an essay.

Henry's handwriting were neat and clean unlike Victoria, hers was terrible that only dogs can read it.

"All done!" Gideon exclaimed, throwing quill to the table

Victoria frowned at him.

"Delivery for you Mr.Williams!" The voice of a twelve year old Gryfinndor surprised the four of them

The Gryfinndor boy was holding a two huge box in his hand while smiling cheerfully to Gideon

"Thank you, young Finnigan," Gideon said, picking the huge boxes from the little boy's hand

The Finnigan boy handed Gideon a parchment paper and Gideon gladly took it and signed it with his Signature.

The Corpus siblings and Victoria looked at him in confusion.
