"...And then without even realizing, we've been shagging infront of the people in the middle of the task! The faces said all the unsaid words but i don't care!" Gideon said, explaining of how he and Rhea kissed

Victoria listened to every word and and every details of the story while she was doing her essay in History of Magic.

"Sounds disgusting..." Victoria muttered with her quill brushing through her cheeks

"Yet, Romantic... Right?" Gideon asked looking directly to Victoria

"Quite..." Victoria replied, she stopped doing her essay and faced the giggly Gideon, looking at him softly "Still, I'm so happy for you guys. Make sure i'm the first person to be invited in the Wedding or I'll hex you!"

"No need to threaten me, Vicky. I promise that you will be the first if you do the same to me..." Gideon smirked at the image in his head, Victoria and Henry saying i do to each other

"What does that even mean?" Victoria laughed nervously, scratching her neck

Gideon instead of replying, he gave her the familiar mischievous smile and looked at her with a you-know-what-am-talking-about-look.

Vicky must be not that blind. Henry's love and affection that he secretly give everyday will give her a hint....Right?, Gideon thought

Victoria looked at the thin air, thinking of who is it then a person suddenly came out from her mind, eyes widened, she looked at Gideon.

"Y-You aren't talking about Riddle, are you?" Victoria whispered yelled, eyebrows furrowed

"W-What?" Gideon almost choked from his own saliva

"No!" Gideon exclaimed, "I mean, he's a good bloke y'know? Saved your arse and mine multiple times. Also quite handsome if you ask me," Gideon gave Victoria a quick wink causing Victoria to rolled her eyes "But no! I'm more favor on He—" Gideon quickly cut his sentence by placing his hands to his mouth

"Who?" Victoria questioned, purely confused

"I—I..." Gideon cleared his throat "I'm not the right person to tell you that..."

Victoria raised her eyebrow to the boy.

Gideon just mentally massage his bridge of his nose.

Stupid blind girl..., Gideon thought

Victoria's bored eyed stared at the board with a Potion Book in her hand. Her attention might be in the Lesson but her spirit wasn't.

The words that had been said sounds like a muffled sound to Victoria's ears. Her eyed are half opened and her hand is slowly losing the grip to her Potion Book when suddenly, A sound of a Book being smashed infront of her table, brought her spirit back to her body.

"Are you listening, Cygnus?" Tom Riddle asked with a book in his hand

Victoria straighten her posture "Ofcourse i am!" Victoria answered, completely lying

"Then what is The Draugth of the Living Death?" Tom tested, crossing his arms

"Uhm...I—Well..." Victoria stammered, she looked nervously at Tom and saw him raised his eyebrow causing her to gulped in fear "Well, The Draught of the Living Death is a Potion!"

Tom mentally massage the bridge of his nose in stress.

"Brilliant, Cygnus, even a First Year Student could have know that answer..." Tom replied sarcastically
