Ah, first things first, he thought as he pulled out his wand from his robes, "Muffliato!" he casted so no one else could listen in on their conversation.
"I found that spell rather handy after I was in Professor Kazi's office," he said with a smile and for a moment was calm, but then returned to his frantic state. "What I am about to tell you might frighten you and you might never want to be my friend again, but this the utmost important and I'm not supposed to tell anyone, except well the professors, but that was in note my mum had written..." Rafe shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair.
"That's beside the point, the point is I can't actually tell you straight out, you'll have to guess it..." he kneeled next to Arianna and put and hand on each of her shoulders, "This is very important for you to understand and to guess, who I am. My mum made an Unbreakable Vow with me not to say that. Do you understand what that means Ari? That if I tell you straight out I could die, so this is very important for you to guess."
Rafe stood up once more and began to pace. He had never been so serious in his eleven years, but this was eating him up inside and he needed to confide in someone. He probably looked like someone that belonged in St. Mungo's right now. He didn't know how he could get her to guess without him saying it straight out.
Arianna was taken back by the serious look on Rafe's face. He was pacing, and talking and all she could do was blink, her huge lashes, behind her glasses, in sort of a trance. She was spoked by his sudden seriousness
"Ok OK OK!" she said closing her eyes, trying to understand all he had just said
" Unbreakable vow?! What did you do? Break your mum's favourite jar or something?" she said, half smiling a pathetic attempt of a joke. It fell from her face as she saw his worried face.
"I have to guess then?..." she scratched her chin. What could be so bad that his mother had him swear not to tell anyone...
"Let's play a game... Is it about you or someone or something??" she asked, trying to concentrate. Rafe's look was so intense, she felt her cheeks heating, he was really trying to make her understand.
