"I don't know. But I have the feeling that by midnight, there's going to be a lot of updates to the famous shipping chart. See over there?" he nodded over to Ricardo and Vincent. "That's been going on all evening."

Tessa swilled her drink around, laughing to herself. "Ricardo's still gay then?"

Giovanni laughed. "Yes. He's still very gay. Still, since coming out he's acting exactly the same, so there's no major personality changes or extravagant habits to be revealed with all this."

Giovanni sighed. "I'm sorry, Tessa. It must've been hard to find out that..."

She shrugged. "It was just a stupid crush. It's not like any of the relationships we make now are going to matter much in ten years time when we start settling down. Besides, a boyfriend is the last thing I want at the moment."

"And why's that?" he took a sip from his drink, turning to her with raised eyebrows.

She glanced away, tapping her nail against the champagne glass. "It's just... You know, I've got a lot on my plate. Exams and stuff."

She turned back to him, eyes widening slightly. The tremor in her lip returned, a and she could feel the bright façade slipping away. He knew? Of course he knew. When he's sober, I guess Giovanni actually notices a lot. "I can't talk about it here," she murmured, looking down to compose herself and blink away the sting in her eyes. "Not here, not now."

He pulled out a delicately embroidered handkerchief from his pocket, handing it to her. "Talk about it when you feel comfortable. But I know it'll help you to say it."

She nodded, taking the handkerchief and dabbing at her eyes subtly. "Thank you, Giovanni. I-"
Her words were cut off by Leo as he stood, glancing down at his watch. "One minute, guys!"

"Oh my god, I have to serve the champagne," Bianca gasped, more than a little bit tipsy from all of the celebration.
"By the sounds of it, I doubt you'll aim correctly," Ricardo sighed. "Let me do it."

The Hufflepuff laughed, making his way over to grab a glass and somehow ending up next to Bianca. He glanced across at her, eyebrows slightly raised. "How many have you had?"
Tessa smiled, passing the handkerchief back to Giovanni and following Leo for a top up.

"I don't think you should have any more then," he suggested, nervously placing his hand on her arm.

"What, with a hangover?" He asked meekly, glancing down at his watch again. "Oh! Twenty seconds!"

Leo nodded, although a large part of him was worried about how drunk she seemed to be. "Just... Try to be careful, okay?"
"Nineteen... Eighteen... Seventeen," Tessa counted down, eyes turned upwards to the fake sky, glassy with the reflections of the stars.
