chapter ten

Teddy had no idea where things were going with Aviana. First off, the day he actually had a decent conversation with her, he was in a loss when they had spent hours just exchanging things about themselves.

He even went to as far as asking why she didn't freak out when he mentioned his father was a werewolf and what baffled him was her response.

"What is there to freak about? Aren't we all anomalies in the end?"

When she said those words, he couldn't help but laugh. It was purely a gesture of relief and surprise in a package. Whilst it was not something he expected to do, it was once again something he considered as a new thing for him. He was not sure if it would have been offensive to his father, but in his point of view—he couldn't help but picture his parents and uncle laughing.

Maybe a different time it would be, but somehow, he was confident enough to assume they'd find humour over it being belligerent.

When their time together came to an end, Teddy was hesitant on it being a one-time thing. However, he didn't have the courage to ask if there was going to be the next time and just left things as it is.

As soon as the next day rolled in, Teddy was surprised to see Aviana approach him in the morning—just the the day prior.

"Now that look on your face tells me a lot of things" Aviana teased as she sat across him," One could be that you ate something funny, or the other is the joy of seeing me the first thing of your morning"

"I can argue that its neither of those" Teddy shook his head and sighed," And I thought you were good at 'people watching'"

"I can see your humour is extra dry this fine day" She shot back as she leaned on her palms," You expected me to continue and make you play tag, admit it"

"What gave it away?" Teddy's voice laced with sarcasm as he lowered his eating utensils

Aviana chuckled at his words while narrowing her gaze," So, you do have a sarcastic streak in you, interesting"

Teddy raised his eyebrow in suspicion, "Should I be worried about you gaining that information?" She just laughed at his words and continued to banter with him.

The two both unaware of a Hufflepuff and Gryffindor making their way over.

Victoire and Skylar shared funny looks at each other and before they knew it devious smiles made it on their faces. Both had no clue what was going on, but they had a sudden urge to use the moment to get any information they could.

"So~" Skylar started as he sat on the left side of Aviana while Victoire sat on her right.

"What do we have going on here?" The Weasley said mischievously as she bore her eyes on the Slytherin between her and Skylar.

"Oh, Merlin" Teddy groaned bringing his palm to his face

"Victoire Weasley and Skylar Black," Aviana said with elation in her voice," It's nice to meet you both, Aviana Moon—though something tells me you both already know that"

"Why yes, indeed, it would tarnish my reputation, if I didn't know such a beautiful face like yours," Skylar added playfully with suggestiveness which made Victoire roll her eyes and push his face away from the closeness she had with the Slytherin

Victoire narrowed her eyes and poked her finger on his forehead with force, "Careful about this one, Aviana, He's dangerous to the female population"

Aviana laughed and raised a thumb in confirmation," Noted"

Teddy peered up slowly as he watched the three conversed in complete ease. Behind his hand that was covering his mouth, a smile formed and before he knew it—He was included in the conversation completely inversed to the point of them not even realizing the odd stares they were getting.

However, even if they did—It was not like they'd care anyway.
