That wasn't what he thought it was, was it? He glanced up, and the look on Miss Lynch's face told him it was. He scoffed; he knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened! The thought crossed his mind to rush to the girl's side and offer his assistance, but somebody else beat him to it. Instead, he aimed his wand at the poison ivy bouquet, making it vanish. Now if he could only make two other things in this room disappear so easily...
Then Peeves was screeching for speeches and entertainment. Gaston applauded politely for the speeches that were given - Sir Nicholas's had been particularly touching - but kept silent. The poltergeists didn't need to know what he had to say about them. He sighed dejectedly. Why did they deserve love when they'd done nothing but cause others pain, while he went out of his way to be kind to everyone who crossed his path and was still alone? It just wasn't fair!
An unexpected voice caused the brooding Frenchman's head to jerk up, and he saw Kay standing there. He nodded in acknowledgement of the muggle studies professor, though he avoided her eyes. He hadn't had much interaction with her, but it was awfully nice of her to come and talk to him. That, and he was grateful to be distracted from his sadness...
But the distraction was short-lived. Gaston started to answer Kay's question, but his heart skipped a beat as he saw someone else... Rosalyn! Oh no, not her! Anybody but her! He couldn't let her see him in this fragile emotional state! He stood frozen to the spot as if someone had just put a full body bind on him; only his eyes moved, darting from Rosalyn to the newlyweds and back several times as all the bad feelings came rushing back to him.
It was only when Rosalyn spoke that Gaston forced himself to look back, wounded blue eyes rimmed in red meeting those of the two women. He wanted to assure them he was perfectly fine, to lie to them, but he decided against it. They'd been kind enough to ask about him; they deserved his honesty. "Those two..." he said, casting another sidelong glance at the poltergeists. "They're just a bad reminder of -" His voice broke. He blinked several times, biting his lower lip to keep it from trembling. Merlin, he wasn't going to cry again, was he? A few moments passed before he'd regained his composure enough to speak."- of something I'll never have."
He sighed, pinching at the inner corners of his eyes. "Please, don't let me spoil your fun," he said, "I'll be fine." Though right now, he didn't think he would be... Quote:

Not for the lack of knowledge but because there wasn’t some of the ingredients around for remedies that she had learnt in the Muggle world. When she turned her attention back to Gaston, she realised Rose had joined them. Kay smiled again. “I’m trying figure out what’s wrong with him.’’
Her gaze turned to Gaston again. Before she could speak up, he was offering his reason. “Oh… Gaston, I’m sorry to hear you feel that way. But you should know that nothing happens before its time. You’ll find her.’’ Or him. Whichever way Gaston swung. She put a comforting hand on Gaston’s arm. She knew exactly how he felt. She hadn’t been lucky with relationships and the one guy she had gotten a crush- Viktor… it turned out that Laurel liked him too. "Don't be silly! If I'm going to dance, you and Rose are dancing with me.'' There was no way she was leaving Gaston. Not when he was so down.
Oh.
It was worse than what Rosalyn had thought; she had felt that Gaston maybe had disapproved of the marriage. Turned out that he was feeling lonely. That was something that she could relate to even if she didn't let it get her down - it was always nice to immerse herself into the things that she was passionate about. Besides, a lot of people didn't find love until later in life. It was perfectly normal. Kay was another example; they had both been single for some time. "Kay is right. You're great and any woman would be lucky to have you." Nod. Lack of confidence wasn't very nice but several of people were like that and it didn't stop them from finding the right person. "I'm single too and so is Kay. A lot of us on Staff are single." Didn't mean that they couldn't have fun and enjoy life. "Yes, we both want to dance with you!" Rosalyn said as she ignored Peeves and Miffy. They were yelling way too much for her tastes. Still she kept an eye out just in case they got too out of hand and students ended up in danger. Best to be careful. |
