“It’s got everything to do with me,” replied Victor simply, his expression still serious. The comment hadn’t been meant as a sassy comeback, but as an honest observation. Mondai seemed to have an… interesting image of him in her mind, and for once the boy was actually interested in hearing her thoughts and opinions on a matter that wasn’t an upcoming test or a new charm they’d learned in class.

Clever, hard-working and admirable.
He wasn’t sure why, but Victor felt just the slightest hint of disappointment with Airlia’s response. These were positive qualities, he knew, but… part of him had hoped there would have been more.

Little did the boy know that, as he leaned back into the armchair with an air of defeat, the girl sitting across from him had just lost her skirt. And now Airlia Mondai sat before him in only her lacey bra and matching bottoms. Fortunately for her, the desk between them kept this secret hidden from the Slytherin.
