"Nic, I drew hearts too," she said softly, a coy smile playing on her lips.

"Oh." The scarlet crept up until his entire face was bright red, eyes wide under his glasses. "Oh."

Tessa laughed, her own cheeks flushed. "You're as red as a blood-flavoured lollipop."

"Yeah, yeah, real funny, " he grumbled, knowing full well that it was basically impossible for him to make a similar comment. "I can feel the heat in my face."

She took his hand, placing it against her own cheek for comparison. "If it's any consolation, I feel almost a similar colour right now."

Nicolas felt a smile tug at his lips. "Thank you for the update in the shipping chart."

"My pleasure," she said, before turning a deeper shade of red at the word choice. "I mean, I'm glad I could help."

He leaned over, pressing a quick kiss on her forehead (he hoped he had aimed right) before he could lose his nerve.

She felt a pleasant tingle, like a mild electric shock, pass down her spine, and closed her eyes briefly. "I should go to bed now."

He nodded. "As should I. Goodnight."

Tessa smiled, scooping up Nutmeg and cradling the kitten in her arms. Wait until I tell Bianca. She was right the whole time about him. "Night, Nic."

Tessa paced in front of the fireplace, arms folded tightly across her chest. Her lips were drawn into a tight line, and occasionally she paused to worriedly raise her hands to her lips or play with a strand of hair.

Giovanni was seated on a sofa, sighing as he sorted a few papers around. Scattered in the pile were a few photos of Bianca, Elizabeth, and the bottle of Veratiserum. "Tessa, what's got you pacing so much?"

"I just met Leo on the way to visit Bianca," she murmured, halting to address him. "He accidentally let it slip about Elizabeth, and now she doesn't want to speak to any of us."

He sighed. "It was going to happen eventually, I guess. But does she know why we kept it from her? I mean, she isn't even consciously accepting the fact that she's having hallucinations yet. We needed to lay this on her slowly."

"I don't see why we can't just confront Elizabeth head-on," Tessa snapped, placing her hands on her hips. "This isn't some mystery to be solved, Giovanni. This is my sister supposedly torturing my best friend."

He looked up, voice calm as he spoke. "And what do you think will happen once we confront Elizabeth? She'll deny it, obviously, and without conclusive proof, this whole thing will just be let go. Or alternately, a professor will find out and a whole thing will rise from this. Either way, your relationship with your sister will be permanently ruined because we decided to tackle this head-on without actually getting some proof first to show her that we know. Think things through to the end, Tessa, not just the immediate results of an action. Any way this turns out, it won't be good unless we get some proof first. And unless you'd like to actually help me with that..."

She swore loudly. "I don't care, can you not see that? I don't give a flying monkey about the long term results, I just want Bianca to be safe and well, and my sister to be... to be back to normal again. Maybe if I speak to Lizzie and tell her that we have proof then she can explain it."

Giovanni rolled his eyes. "At least make up with Bianca first. And talk to her about this before you go and do something completely rash."

Tessa faltered, wiping at her eye. "Fine," she said bluntly, ignoring the curious looks from younger students as she stormed out of the portrait hole in the direction of the hospital wing.
