Chapter 127 – Dimitris
It was the first time since we got here that I spent the afternoon without Quincy. The reasons were two-fold. On the one hand, she was excited to head back home, study Grindelwald notes, and try out the cauldron, brewing different potions with increasing difficulties. Then, there was me, who was tasked by Grindelwald to go to the library and try to look for a book. Which one? He didn't know, simply declaring, I will when I see it.
"I sometimes feel like the old man is not really right in the head. Or are you just teasing me? Yeah... I should have asked him that..."
"Who is teasing you?" Asked a voice just after I walked past the empty reading tables and when I turned towards it, a similarly aged boy was looking back at me from between a row of dozens of stacked books. I didn't recognize him as he was from a different class... and I would remember him because his brown eyes, behind his big, round glasses, looked bigger than his head was. Not to mention his black, curly hair that would easily pass as a birdnest.
"It's... no matter." I answered with a shrug, making him nod, acting as if he understood.
"You are one of the new students, yes? The two I have been hearing about? My name is Dimitris, 3rd-year!"
"Oh, hi, I am Co-, cough, sorry... I am Alexander." I answered, looking at his stretched-out hand, grabbing it, and shaking it firmly.
"I wouldn't worry; they probably tease you because of jealousy. I heard you are terrific, and also, after seeing you, yeah, you are good-looking."
"Wait, what?" I asked, but he ignored me, continuing without a pause.
"There were no transfer students for the past 600 years! So, it is no wonder some people will spread rumors to mess with you. Like, the one where you and your sister are secretly lovers in a forbidden, taboo relationship."
"..."
"Oh... it's true?!" He gasped, almost knocking over his books.
