After which the Salander household was in sudden celebratory mode because of what the parcel contained. Then an urgent message from his beloved Vi to come see him ASAP. But before he could make it out the door, the family barber came to greet him, because apparently they've been waiting for the perfect moment to spring this on him.
And that is how the Gryffindor Ace, bereft of his luscious leonine locks, extra gangly from continuous growth, head spinning and stomach grumbling shuffled onto the courtyard looking for his girlfriend, squinting behind his shades wondering if the sun swallowed Mercury and is now closer to Earth because why is everything was so dang bright??
But there she was, the vision of her like an oasis to a parched man. He plopped himself on the seat in front of her -- completely forgetting his new forced aesthetic -- and smiled "You rang?"
Maybe he slept in after receiving her message? She was sure that it could have been a possibility and all but still.... Vi glanced down at her hands for a moment and then he was there with shorter hair and sunglasses?
HOLY BATMAN, TENACIUS ASTOR SALANDER!!!
Had he just snuck up in front of her? She supposed he had.
Well now he was here. Sitting in front of her with the same lovely smile that always made her heart flutter. He looked good...... really good. Like better than he had the last time she had seen him. And then she noticed it. She had to refrain from saying it almost immediately. The hair. Ace’s beloved long locks had been chopped off and now he sported a much shorter look. It suited him very well— almost too well. *SWOON* And for the briefest of moments, she was distracted by the new aesthetic so much so that she forgot that her heart was pounding. Tenacius unfairly had that affect on her. “
Your hair....” she had tried to stop herself but it was such a dramatic aesthetic change that she couldn’t help avoid not saying anything. She wondered if his parents had finally gotten to him. “
It looks really sharp. I did a double take when I saw you. What’s the haircut for?”
But more importantly, she ought to get to the point of why she had rung him and asked to meet up ASAP. “
I did ring. I have some news!” she began and felt her heart begin to race again. Ah yes. The adrenaline was kicking in again. Perfect. She couldn’t keep the secret to herself and opened her purse, revealing a letter inside. Placing the Hogwarts on the table, she slid it over to him without a word. Vi tried her hardest to keep a straight face throughout the whole ordeal but that was proving to be difficult. “
I’m going to be your partner in crime.... WELL I AM already your partner in crime and all that but..... I’m going to be..... well more in a professional sense. I can join you on patrols for real this time... ” Words we’re mixing together as her stomach did somersaults. She jumped straight to the point. It was better being direct with her Ace. “
I’m a Prefect!”
