Oh...wait...maybe that wasn't such a bad idea...
However, just as he leaned in to do so the auction moved on to something else. A necklace...a really really nice one at that.
Not even asking Seren if she wanted it - instead already imagining her in it on a rather fancy and elaborate anniversary dinner and trip - Aron raised Paddle 23 high into the air and waved it around a little bit just to make sure to get the auctioneer's attention. "120 galleons!"
Expensive? Very much so. But he had received a bonus at work and his wife was worth it and he may have momentarily forgotten that he was supposed to bid on her later in the auction
Shiny things were almost as distracting as Fairy Lights.
It was a strange thing, seeing Aron at the school, so casually dressed in costume. She wasn't complaining by any means. No. This was nice... it was just a pity it wouldn't last. Lacing her fingers between his, she gave his hand a gentle squeeze. She'd opened her mouth to day something when his other arm shot into the air...
WHAT?!
WWHHHAAATTT?!
120 Galleons?!
Seren's face registered shock. And it wasn't until she actually noticed the item that was being auctioned, that her expression changed to one of amusement.
"It's a bit much... isn't it?" she whispered. And it wasn't really the sort of thing she could wear very often.
SPOILER!!: Aron

He would save his funds for when they got to auctioning off people. SIGH.
"Sorry, Poppy," he whispered as he reached for her hand and began to trace soft patterns over the back of it with his thumb.
It didn't surprise her that Aron was in his own little world... caught up in the moment. It was a guy thing, or so she thought.
"It's ok," she replied, giving him a soft smile.
"... you can also make it up to me later." See. It wasn't the be all and end all. And the necklace, as sparkly as it was, just wasn't practicle.
