The silence. The silence was killing Peter. Did he do something wrong? Say something wrong? Or, did the girl finally discovered what his nationality was? Does she?! The very last thing he would want to in front of a French girl, was say something wrong or for her to know who he really was. She always knows he is not French, so why is she giving him the silence treatment? He just about, right there, confessed who he really was. Oh Merlin, why did he had to build up walls? Now they can’t brought now, unless he can bring them down...
After the long silence, Aurélie had nodded and smiled, but Peter knew she was just doing that to save face, right..? But Peter paid attention as he tried to calculate which goes first. The swish or the flick.
When Peter finished the spell, and the paper stays din the air, flying, Aurélie switched to French to exclaim, “Yay! Great job, Peter!” He beamed, heat creeping into his cheeks, wondering if this is how she felt when he had been exclaiming for her. But Aurélie ’s happiness seems to radiate in waves all around her, that Peter didn’t even care quite a little bit, about whether he did something wrong or the French girl knew where he came from. Happiness seemed to fly from Aurélie and stay within Peter’s heart, warning him ever so slightly.
“We can learn together, ” Aurélie finished her last words with a wink, and Peter could of swore Aurélie could never get sad, all that happiness. Peter waved back, as Aurélie skipped back to the castle, their huge school, on the path, she had entered on before. Taking one last look of the gorgeous courtyard, Peter’d collect of his supplies, stuck his wand in his pockets and sauntered on, back to the castle, the same as Aurélie.
