His eyes roamed the corridor as he briefly took in the surrounding area, realizing with a slight pang in his chest that this would be one of the few times he ever walked these halls as a student again. Even if he wouldn't admit it, Deus would indeed miss some aspects of Hogwarts.
It suddenly occurred to Amadeus that as they were standing and chatting in the midst of the walkway, more students were filing past and crowding up the place. "Would you mind if we walked and talked?" He gestured towards the rest of the corridor, which led to the courtyard. "I think we're blocking the foot traffic."
Braeden listened quietly and attentively to Deus's response, and he couldn't help but wonder what exactly the older boy meant by 'bigger and better things'? Wasn't his life 'bigger and better' enough as it was? He didn't know any specific numbers, but... from what he knew about Deus so far, the boy was basically drowning in a sea of golden coins and freshly-printed bills.
However, before Brae could ask about it, Deus was suggesting they get moving, inviting him to walk with him. Braeden raised his eyebrows slightly at this. "Oh, an invitation? How could I refuse," he replied with mock honour in his tone before chuckling softly, his feet beginning to move at a relaxed pace as they walked down the corridor. "So what exactly are your plans after graduating? Are you buying a remote island somewhere in the south and starting your own country?" It was a ridiculous question, but Braeden meant it. If he had all the money Deus and his family had, he'd definitely do that. Open up a little 'Braedenland' somewhere a little sunnier than the English coast. It'd be a huge success!
