To be honest, he looked just as mollified as she did, which was hard to do considering the fact that she was being humiliated in the middle of a really great night and in the middle of the beginning of year feast. Maybe she was being over dramatic about this, but the twelve year old had told him about this little crush in confidence and now it was everywhere and she knew Austin didn't feel the same way. Were those tears behind her eyes? Merlin! She couldn't cry!

Ophelia wanted to say something, something about how there was no crush and it was all in his head and he was an idiot who needed to keep his mouth shut, preferably forever. However, that was probably not going to happen because her throat was completely dry. Seriously, the water? Could someone who wasn't completely and utterly dying right now get her some water? Or a blanket? Or out of here?

She stomped her right foot, frustrated. Okay so she HAD to say something. Her pride and the possible pride of Austin himself was on the line here. The second year cleared her dry throat and pretended like that did something. It really didn't, but this was her last shred of dignity before it all went to crap. The blonde pushed her hair behind her shoulder and sat down, making sure to sit up as tall as the kid could possibly go. There would be no slouching allowed when you were attempting to save face.

"Experienced? Really? You're only about two years older than me! You can't have THAT much experience." And if he did, she didn't want to know about it. "And I don't have a CRUSH on Austin. Why would I like him anyway? He's like my cool older brother! Nothing more, nothing less." All lies. Her pants should be on fire now. Please understand that this was all lies. Because if not, then things were going to turn really bad, really fast. Worse than they already were.

What was he saying to King-Blue Eyes? What was happening that she couldn't hear? Why was this happening to her?Why could there not be a second year friendly invisibility spell to save her from this situation? Or like a spell to make her liquidy so she could sink under the floorboards and pretend this never happened. Could she somehow turn into a House Elf? Because that would be better than this.

Austin's face grew redder as the argument continued. Merlin, they were making a scene. Why was this necessary?The Slytherin boy had his own table, with his own snakes to annoy. He didn't need to come here making false accusations about his friend. She obviously didn't like him so there was no point in lying further. There was no need to hurt the poor third year any more.

But the boy insisted on sitting next to him on the bench. Merlin's beard, he thought. Please don't stay long. And he didn't, which was a relief for Austin. But he didn't leave before saying a few words. Ask her out!? Don't you think in his lonely summer it crossed his mind? Yea, that happened a few times. But there wasn't a point. They were silly kids and even if she did like him, it probably wouldn't last. He was a no good, depressed, 13 year old. Nobody needed to spend their time with him. But Ophie insisted on it, so he didn't bother with shooing her away. Plus she looked too cute trying to make him smile. He was happy that somebody enjoyed his company, and he wasn't going to ruin it with a relationship.

Plus, she just admitted to him being like an older brother anyways. Which was fine, she was like a little sister... right? Is this how people were supposed to act around younger sisters? He was only now learning how to act like an older brother, so he wasn't sure. "Yea," He began. But his words were hoarse, so he cleared his throat, and started again. "Ophie is like the little sister I don't have yet." Each word stung his heart as he said them, but there wasn't a point in telling the truth. She obviously didn't like him. Even still, the Ravenclaw couldn't get himself to look at her. His face was too red, and his eyes were watery. He wasn't about to cry, not here. His whole summer was spent crying so there was no point in doing it now. Especially not with people around.

Austin stood up and looked at the boy. He may have been older, but he was acting like a first year. "Why don't you mind your own business, huh?" His blue eyes glared into the Slytherin, hoping he would take the hint and drop it. After a good few seconds glaring, he turned over to The Blonde Queen. She looked like she was about to cry. He turned towards the table, and picked up his glass of water, handing it to her. "You okay?" He was concerned. She looked like she was about to run away or cry or both. And none of the above were fun.

Auphie? What was this nonsense? What was an 'auphie'? Was this some sort of muggle term? Shipping? Was auphie a ship name? That's a terrible name for a ship. The muggle life was strange. He glanced over at the head ghost that was wondering around the table. She was watching them, and probably going to get them all in trouble. But did Austin care? No. This Slytherin was pestering them, and he was not going to let him get away with it. "Just go away." He said through gritted teeth.


Sigh.

They were still denying that they were madly in love, eh? It was so obvious that they liked each other. Even without a romance-dar someone could easily tell they had a crush on each other. Now he had two people at the brink of tears on his hands, and this was starting to attract a crowd. The slight prank may have went a bit overboard.

Oooooh, ouch. What they were saying to each other. This was just complete friend zoning. 'She's like a sister' and 'He's like a brother'. That just had to stab at each others heart. Both to hear and to say. Obviously something else was going on with one of them.

It wasn't Ophie, because Gregoire and Ophie were really close. They practically told each other everything. So that must meant it had to have been Austin. Sighing, Gregoire said to the both of them "My apologies if I offended either of you, but from the looks of it you TWO are in love."

Turning so that he was only facing Austin he put a hand on his shoulder and looked into the piercing blue eyes. With an apologetic and empathetic look on his face, Gregoire asked in a hushed tone. "Listen. Obviously something else is upsetting you. You can talk to me about whatever else is on your mind."

Quickly glancing over his should to look at Ophie, Gregoire turned his glance back to the distraught eagle. Once again in a whispered voice "Also, Ophie didn't really mean that you were here frere-" Mentally slapping himself. "-I mean, brother. She truly does like you. It would mean the world to her if you would ask her out."
