"Oh even better, you can be obligated to help me then, because I'm looking for one of yours yeah!?"
He leaned in closer til he could speak in a hushed whisper. "Kay so firstly, I'm Aegis. Today is my Birthday, but I gotta prove that to some Curly Haired-Freckled kid who's in your House." He peered upwards and around the Table once more to see if he could spot the Kid...Nope. "Yeah, so help me out."
Gabriel had been taking steps to stand with Coral Bay...because she was going to be better at this leadership business than he was...and he was having boy thoughts about her possibly being authoritative. They caused momentary anxiety and a DEEP flush, but he was able to shake it off...as someone was suddenly in his face, speaking.
That Gryffindor boy.......again.
And.......no.... No. Gabe didn't do this...personal space invasion thing. So, as he leaned in closer, Gabe leaned away. He could hear him just fine, thank you...without smelling his germs. "........This can't wait?" The Gryffindor was clearly talking about Kyroh Scabior, but Gabriel wasn't telling him that. SPOILER!!: This! Quote:

Only old people loved. Not 12 and 13 year olds, and definitely not Austin. Nope, no love. Nope... well... right? Maybe... he didn't know. And obviously Ophelia didn't want anything to do with him. So even if he did love her, there wasn't anything he could do.
He was about to turn away from the Snake when he decided they were going to have a little talk.
Um...What?
They had only just met. Austin didn't know this boy, hardly even knew his name. They were never properly introduced, and even in classes he hadn't seen this boy. They were in different houses, and Slytherins were known for causing trouble. He would know, his father was one. The more the boy talked, the more it boiled his blood. "What in Merlin's Beard are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with me. Everything is perfectly fine. I just met you a few minutes ago, if there was anything wrong with me, I wouldn't go to you." Yea, maybe that was harsh. But it was the truth.
He turned to look at Ophie, hoping he didn't scare the second year. He wanted nothing more than to run and hide at this moment, for this was not how he was hoping his first day was going to go. He was embarrassed and angry, mainly at this Snake. Why did he have to come in here and ruin everything? He was perfectly fine sitting here by himself. He was also fine sitting here with Ophie. But this, this was just annoying. "Dude," He said, talking to the boy. "Lay off. She obviously doesn't have a crush on me so drop it." Sure, he would have like to ask her out. But she would easily turn him down, she made that clear. Quote:

But then again, the twelve year old was the one who started this whole brother and sister lie, and she was going to have to live with the consequences. However annoying and sad they may be. Austin's voice also hurt her. It sounded like he might cry too. Tears budded and ebbed at the back of her blue-grey eyes, but the second year held them back. Ophelia didn't cry. Besides, there HAD to be truth there, even if it was mostly a lie. And there were soo many girls around. Ophelia wasn't even sure she was first on anyone's list, much less Austin's. Problem was, she didn't know really HOW to be sisterly with King-Blue-Eyes. All in good time.
And was she okay? Not at all. Still felt like she was gonna puke and the frustration was getting worse and now there was the nagging feeling of crying she was going to have to deal with. Could she fake it enough to make people think she was? Of course. So the blonde twirled a piece of curly hair around her index finger and smiled. Although there was no way that the smile reached her wide eyes. Taking the goblet from Austin and taking a quick sip, the kid found that the cool liquid helped a little.
WHY WAS HE TALKING TO AUSTIN ALONE? There was no way he was helping her case any and in fact was probably hurting it. Although that would be heard. Although, she did hear Austin say that she didn't like him, so he was probably attempting to help, although now was the exact WRONG time.
Ophelia wanted to walk away and join someone else's conversation, but the prospect of leaving Gregroire alone with Austin would just make everything waaay worse.
Also, offended? Way past offended buddy. Like a million miles past offended. Which, if she had the choice, that's how many miles Ophelia would run away right now. But feast and food and Hogwarts. So thanks, bro. Now if they could disband the conversation and let her curl up in a ball on her bed and sleep, that would be mighty fine. Because she had no idea how she was going to face either of them.
(Way before the fight)
Ophelia smiled up at the elder girl. Listening to the older ones talk was interesting, and the little squirt hoped they could be friends. Or at least people to talk to during the school year.
"I'm a second year. And yeah, I spend half of my time outside. How about you?'" Quote:

"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. Just in case things would get a little bit spicy though, Gregoire put his hand on his wand, ready to cast protego at any second.
----------
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.
..........Whatever response had been given, Gabe had missed...as he'd stood to join his Co-Prefect (but had, instead, been accosted)...but the Slytherin continuing to speak to the two Ravenclaws ( keepmeclose22, carpediem) proved he had no intention of listening. Sigh.
See, Gabriel wasn't confrontational or a bully. He was the furthest thing from a fighter as one could be...(which is why he had Gryffindor friends)...but the Slytherin picking on people right in front of him...and making them uncomfortable...Well, Gabe understood that. He'd had his fair share of being picked on, thank you very much. It didn't feel great and gave a complex...And now that he was paying more attention to the scene, the two Ravenclaws looked younger than the Slytherin. And they didn't look to be enjoying the latter's company....
...and then there were tears....
Gabe didn't really have a choice here, did he? Hands were tied...and angst. There was an astonishing amount of angst.
Pulling his wand sneakily (which wasn't at all sneaky because Gabe himself failed at it), he aimed for the snarky Snake boy, and muttered "Silencio." Gabriel did NOT want to walk to the Snake table to get this boy's Prefects....or his Head of House...but he would.
He even stared said Slytherin down...hoping to convey the message without words. You know, since he sometimes didn't do words that well...and this seemed like something better suited for NO STUTTERING.
