"I was keeping it down." Gregoire told the boy (Gabe. "If you didn't know, there's a huge difference between keeping it down, and being nosy." He finished with a sassy flare. That's right, this French boy could be extremely sassy if he needed to be. This moment right here seemed to be the perfect time to be sassy.
Speaking of being nosy...
Out of the corner of his eye, Gregoire saw a girl (Eden staring at him. Which was an odd thing to do. Considering the fact that they weren't to close, but they were still maybe eight or nine feet apart. Some people just don't know their manners do they? Gregoire though to himself.
Now he sized her up. Once again, Gregoire was confident he could take her if the time ever came to it. Granted it would probably be a two versus one...or...the whole Ravenclaw house versus one...but still, he was confident. Don't get too cocky, though. Gregoire had to remind himself. Thinking about it now, in a 2v1 he probably couldn't beat them.
After all, both of them were older than him. So, hopefully, Gregoire would only have to fight one of them if things started to hit the fan.

Setting his gaze back to Austin, Gregoire looked at him with a mix of sorrow and reason. "Let's both be real here. Deep down in your heart-" He said pointing to the boy's heart. Gregoire knew not to actually touch the other boys chest though, and just to point because it would be weird if he would touch the other kids chest. "-you truly like Ophelia. You just have to ignite that spark. I know she will say yes if you'd just ask her out." Gregoire finished, still talking in whispers.
"Take, me and my own girlfriend for example." Pulling out his small locket, he opened it and held it out for the boy to see. "I never though that we'd be dating, but we still love each other dearly to this day. Even though we are 759.8 miles away, we still find ways to make it work." Gregoire began to explain with a shy smile on his face. "Now, instead of this being me and her, imagine the pictures being you and Ophelia." Gripping the locket once more, he close it again.
Playing matchmaker was hard even for a French person! Especially when the two people you were trying to get together are extremely stubborn.
Austin listened to the boy, but nothing he said stuck. What was this boy talking about? Ophelia just told them both that Austin was only a brother. Was this snake deaf as well as annoying? The third year was so confused as to how he could like his dad, if this is what he used to act like. He made a mental note to send an owl to his father.
"You're a fourth year," Austin spat harshly.
"What do you know about love? Plus, your girl is hundreds of miles away! How do you know that she's not with another person? Huh? By the time you get one of her owls, she could have found someone better!" This wasn't like him, honest. Everything that had been built up over the summer was starting to pour out. He was angry. Angry at the world, and angry at this Snake. And even if the Snake was in love, there was no way to tell for sure if the same thing was going on here.
Austin's anger grew as the boy poked him. But at the mention of Ophelia, Austin turned to look at her. This wasn't a 'over the shoulder' kind of look. No. This was a 'I'm done talking to you because if you don't stop now, our house is gong to lose some house points' kind of turn. He looked at Ophelia, unsure of what to do next. He wasn't going to ask her out, that was definitely out of the question. She didn't want to be his girlfriend, and that was that. So he just awkwardly stood there staring at The Blonde second year.
She looked awful. But at the same time she didn't. She looked like she wanted to hide and cry, that was for sure. Her crying was the last thing he had wanted. All he wanted to do was to catch up. Maybe get one of her famous hugs that would make everything seem better. But no. Instead Austin Alexander Moore was standing in front of a second year Ravenclaw, who looked as equally as hurt as he felt. She tried smiling and twirling her hair, but Austin knew better than to accept that. Her smile wasn't genuine. It was a cover up. And he knew he had caused her pain, which didn't make anything better. He was the reason she was about to burst into tears in the middle of the Start of Term Feast, and he didn't know why. He just knew it was his fault.
Broken hearted, Austin just stood there, wanting to envelope Ophie in a hug and punch the Snake at the same time.
