Vince appreciated Airi’s support on the matter, and he wasn’t surprised when his stubborn sister and his brother’s best mate ignored his warnings; however, it seemed Airi wasn’t having that much luck either, and that got the boy – Vince, who never worried about a thing – to worry a little. You just know that when even Saint Airi’s warnings are being ignored, no one else stood a chance at talking some sense into the other two.

Vianna didn’t even glance at Vince or Airi, their muffled voices lost somewhere in the background. It was like Ned was the only person in the library – besides her – and her complete attention and focus was on the Slytherin boy who she was determined to teach a lesson. Maybe after this he’d learn to be more sympathetic and less arrogant.

What she wasn’t counting on, though, was his side of the deal.
For once, Vianna seemed to snap out of her daze. What?! A date with Hall did not at all sound appealing to the girl who had grown up seeing him as more of an annoying brother than an actual boy, but she wasn’t going to let it scare her off from going along with their rather stupid plan.

“Fine.”

Vince nearly fell from his seat in disbelief. IT WAS DONE. They were going to go along with the dare! “Why don't you go ahead and add an unbreakable vow to it,” he said sarcastically, since Vianna and Ned seemed to be all for bad ideas today. The boy looked up as a fifth voice filled the air, and raised an eyebrow at the sight of Fion leaning against one of the bookshelves nearby. Oohoho, why wasn’t he surprised she was ALL for this night-at-the-Shack idea? The girl was such a magnet for trouble it made him look like Saint Airi here.

“Of course you would,” said the boy with a chuckle, rolling his eyes at the unsurprising statement. “I suppose Hall wouldn’t mind the company,” he added, turning to Ned with a smirk. Funny how he was all against the dare idea a minute ago, now he was throwing both Ned and Fion into the fire. What? When it was more than one person willing to do something stupid, he was more likely to encourage it.
