  Location: Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop Waiting for: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] A tea shop, seriously? Of all the places to have to have this conversation Victor chooses a tea shop... Ronna had sort of been dreading having the conversation with Victor fessing up exactly what she had done over the summer to Crash-not that she intended to say names. And she supposed while she was at it she should fess up to what Theo had said was a pretty bad way to turn a guy down when she had merely given Gregory her next door neighbor a math problem that was most likely impossible to solve and said they could be an item if he was able to solve it. At least she had been up front about the impossibility of the problems. What she had done to Crash was way, way worse. And, she was more or less still avoiding him. Of course with everything going on with students leaving, the unfortunate events in Hufflepuff house, her summer seemed petty at most.
She felt out of place waiting for Victor in the shop, too, it was the type of place couples seemed to frequent, and a tea shop at that with basically sweets only for food items. She had never drank tea in her life and didn't intend to start to anytime soon. Taking off her black cloak, she had to admit at least she looked a little like she was waiting on a date of sorts-she had worn a skirt and heeled boots. Of course with the fact over the summer she essentially had her entire wardrobe replenished due to another growing spurt and this time she wasn't alone shopping, only a few pairs of jeans had made it into her clothing selection.
"Uh, hello?" Ronna said unsure looking around the shop, wondering if she should just seat herself or not.

 "The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor smiled as he leaned back somewhat in his chair, he was seated near the back of the place....away from prying eyes, just in case Ronna felt un-eased to talk about this. He had remembered over the valentines ball, that Ronna said it was fine to talk about what made her so on edge. What exactly happened over the break.
It was a bit late in the year, but they needed to speak about this. Maybe he could help out in some way?
When Victor heard the bell ringing that meant someone entered the shop, he looked up to see Ronna, dressed up and waiting. Ah, she was here then.
Waving over to Ronna, Victor smiled. He wondered if she even liked tea, then again....most times he saw her in class, she had coffee of some sort. This place did sell that type of drink too, as well as snacks. So it was the perfect place to talk. I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Ah....She's here~"
I'm in the house of Hufflepuff.
I am a proud third year
My puppeteer says "..." Out of character.

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] I have to say I have to appreciate that pink hair of his... always easy to find him.
As Ronna glanced around the shop she saw in the back a head of pink hair and Victor looking up spotting her. She took a deep breath and forced a smile and joined him at the table. "A tea shop, seriously?" Ronna said, with a smile, "You know I've never drank tea in my life and don't intend to anytime soon... and this is sort of a place for couples you know... I mean it doesn't matter for me but aren't you sorta seeing someone?"
She said obviously not wanting to jump straight into the subject at hand. Taking a deep breath she straightened skirt and glanced down at her lap and said quickly, "Anyways... I told you I would explain this summer to you at the Valentine's dance... but I mean it's really not a huge deal. It was something that was my fault..."
She glanced up at Victor and was already turning a shade of pink in embarrassment.

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor smiled when Ronna noticed him and joined him at the table. When Ronna began to ramble, Victor couldn't help but to let out a soft giggle, sometimes Ronna could be adorable. Not that he'd say that out loud, because she would never forgive him for it, "Well...I know you drink coffee and this place sells that as well." He then giggled again at the couple remark, "We both know that we are completely safe here for reasons." He then nodded, "So I'm sure neither of our crushes..." Victor glanced at Ronna, looking for a sign, "Would mind much."
Victor tilted his head some as Ronna continued, "Ah~ You aren't getting out of an explanation that easily Ronna~" He then looked up at the ceiling, "I really do want to know what happened. Most I can gather...is it has something to do with a boy....or a girl. I don't know." He then grinned as he noticed his order come in of Earl Grey tea and a Panini veneziano.
"I'm not letting this go Ronna....It's a curiosity for me...and also because it's obviously causing you some sort of pain. So dish~" Victor finished with a small smile. I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Hmm...Interesting reaction."
I'm in the house of Hufflepuff.

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] I could swear he's enjoying this!
Ronna narrowed her blue eyes at Victor and glanced over at the menu and said, "A coffee, black, with two shots of espresso." After making her order she turned to Victor and said frankly, "I thought I had made it more or less clear that I gave up on crushes: I suck at them and the romantic department. Anyways, which guy do you want to hear about first? There was technically two this summer, I probably should explain."
At that moment the waitress came with her order and Ronna thanked her and turned back to Victor and said, "Mind you, I'm not giving out names on either because both guys deserve privacy... the second one is someone I've known for years, he actually was a right prat back in primary school and I broke his nose back in primary but I don't exactly remember what ticked me off enough to do so because he said a lot of really nasty things to me when we were younger but I never actually wanted to break his nose... that isn't the point though, I end up having to tutor him in math and turns out he had a crush on me for a really long time and I didn't exactly say no this summer but I essentially did... that one went over way better than the first incident, though. I mean we're still on good enough terms considering," Ronna ended looking down at her coffee cup.
"It's the first one I'm not exactly wanting to talk about..." Ronna said, biting the bottom of her lip.

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor sipped his tea as he listened to Ronna, giving up on crushes? No matter how bad someone could be at them....most could never give up crushes. It was more of trying to hide a hurt heart, but there was no way for someone to just give up on the concept so easily, "It may pain you to talk about it....But I mostly get the second one." He then thought for a moment, trying to choose his wording carefully, "Someone who belittles you like that doesn't deserve your love anyway."
Victor then took a small breath, "If you are going to feel any better about this...you need to talk about the first one." He then took a bite out of his sandwich, "You may not want too...but it would help the process of healing a lot if you do. Since it's not good to keep these things to yourself." I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Come on....You'll feel better."

"Hey, the guy isn't quite so bad anymore," Ronna said, "I said he was a prat in primary. People change. I mean he actually isn't that bad of a guy but it wouldn't work for multiple reasons. Primarily the whole 'oh yeah I'm a witch' thing would come up eventually and that would be awkward as all get out..." she ended with a small laugh and then looked at Victor and let out a sigh as he called her out about not mentioning the first one.
"Fine," Ronna sighed, tucking a curl behind her ear, "This is stupid and strictly confidential, and I'm not giving you his name because he deserves his privacy though I suppose you might figure it out if you dug around long enough-but don't. And, I don't care about 'the process of healing' or whatever, I mean I threw a bloody apple at him-well not at him... it would have hit him if I threw it at him, but in his general direction. And I said a lot of really horrible things to him. And, keeping things to myself is sort of my thing, Victor."
Taking a long breath she picked up her mug of coffee with two shots of espresso and took a long sip enjoying the bitter taste. Setting it down she said, "It was a school girl crush at best, probably, that started back in first year. He's totally the type of guy that a typical cop-father would want to shoot on sight, and for good reason. Granted, my father is a bit more unprejudiced than some of his peers but still, not exactly the type of guy he'd want his only daughter to have any type of crush on. But, I got a school-girl crush on the guy anyways. And it lasted which is the irritating thing. And, it isn't like I was the best at hiding these sort of things, but I managed to find the most oblivious guy in existence to have a crush on."
"You'd think he'd have realized something was up when I lent my broom to him last year and arranged for him to come stay at my place all summer," Ronna said annoyed. "Anyways, Dad left for a bit leaving us alone and it got awkward and he made some stupid comment and I just snapped and called him an idiot probably half a dozen times for not realizing that I liked him and I threw an apple... and all he heard apparently was me calling him an idiot and when I did catch up with him and snapped at him for not being more considerate when someone confesses to him he snapped back some nasty things essentially about me being some spoiled little princess and Daddy's girl with anger management problems or something."
She took a deep breath still sounding clearly annoyed, "Anyways, it's true about the anger management thing but the rest is total bull. But, I took care of everything and I'm done with it. I mean, I had the package Dad needed delivered to him delivered to him and I paid for his transportation costs back to London. I'm over it."

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor listened as Ronna talked about the guy from primary school and how he changed, which made him just shrug, "I dunno...Zough I guess ze magic thing would be kind of awkward, oui." He then noticed Ronna tuck a curl behind her ear, which meant she was ready to talk about the other person she liked.
Listening to the story, Victor couldn't help but wonder how someone could be so oblivious....then again, he wasn't exactly the most attentive so...Maybe he shouldn't be calling people out for that reason. When Ronna mentioned about how keeping things to herself was her thing Victor shrugged, "Personally I zink it's better to fully lay all your cards out on ze table....but we're different in zat regard so..." Victor trailed off as Ronna continued with the story, so the whole thing was a mix of both horrible signals, anger and obliviousness?
Hm...
When Ronna finished Victor set down his tea as he put on a stern look, "Ah....So was zat ze reason you snapped at me at ze ball?" He thought for a moment, "I can understand....I zink...But I still believe it's best to talk....how you say....face to face?" He then nodded, "It would air out any misgivings and possibly mend broken bridges."
Victor then thought for a moment, "Because...ze most you probably did...was sending a letter or somezing, oui?" He smiled, "That's a step in the right direction, but even if your crush is....over with. You should at least see what he felt during zat time."
Victor sipped his tea again, "Zen again, considering I only confessed to Del by speaking in French which he didn't understand...Maybe I'm not ze best person to listen to on zat front." He finished with a small giggle. I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Hmm..."

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] Hmm... stern Victor puts me at unease.
"He obviously doesn't want anything to do with me," Ronna snapped, before standing, slamming her hands on the tables, "I had never been so insulted in my life by anyone!" She paused realizing a few of the patrons had turned to stare at her and she quickly sat down and said quietly to Victor, "Look, I completed the business matters we had remaining between us, there is no reason for us to meet... and if he did want to meet or talk things over it isn't like I said I wouldn't in the note I sent him when I delivered Dad's package and the money I felt I owed him. Hell, I even apologized. I mean it isn't like I'm that hard to track down if you want to track down, even if we are in different years."
She glanced away and said, "If he wanted to see me or talk to me he would have by now. And, I'm not that desperate to go chasing after someone who wants nothing to do with me. Hell, he was probably so oblivious to me because he had no interest in me. I mean I'm not exactly the princess type that guys tend to go for..." She ended with a laugh.
Suddenly she paused and glanced over at Victor and narrowed her blue eyes at him and held out a finger at him and said, "Wait a second you said you confessed to Del, but in French. Aren't you a little hypocritical, Mr. Fully Lay All Your Cards Out on the Table?"
"And, again, no, I see no reason to see him. He obviously doesn't want to see me so why am I going to force my presence on him?" Ronna added, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair.

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor couldn't say he wasn't surprised when Ronna snapped at him, he did tread a thin line after all. But none the less, the outburst still shocked him a bit. When Ronna sat back down and went back to talking quietly, Victor let out a small breath he didn't know he had been holding, "...Zat....Zat's true...I guess...." So she was truly over it? But if she was completely over it, this conversation wouldn't effect her as much as it obviously did, but Victor knew when to fold his cards, so to speak.
When Ronna belittled herself Victor frowned, "You don't have to be the smiley happy princess type to get a boy Ronna. If zey can't accept you for who you personally are, zen zey don't deserve you." When Ronna called him out on his hypocrisy, Victor went silent for a bit. It...was true, he had been telling Ronna to be upfront and there he was confessing in a completely different language to his crush.
...What to say to such a true statement?
"Well...you don't have to force your presence. I just....I don't know, I just don't like seeing you beat yourself up like zat." I feel nervous you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Confession...Maybe I should listen to my own advice."

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] Seriously, Ronna? Calm down. There isn't a reason to make a scene...
"Victor," Ronna sighed, "I know my faults and I'm realistic about it. That's not me beating myself up. I'm not the princess type, it's obvious. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I'm the tallest girl in our year-if not taller than all the guys too-, I can't cook to save my life, I can break a nose, and was raised by essentially a perpetual bachelor who is a police-officer and was baby sat mostly by his friends who are well... an interesting bunch. Don't get me wrong I love them but there is something weird about thinking a four year old girl should learn basic boxing moves, yes?"
She smiled, "Anyways, the guy who was actually interested in me I friend-zoned pretty bad. Actually, Theo said it was pretty mean on how I did it because a guy deserves a 'yes' or 'no' instead of a 'slim and conditional maybe' which is what I gave him."
"Maybe, I'm like my mother and just a heartless harpy and just shouldn't bother with relationships..." Ronna said with a small laugh before she took a sip of her coffee. "Anyways, there you got the story of my summer."

"The violin plays a soft melody,

Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." Victor sighed as Ronna explained herself, maybe some people just worked differently? Victor really needed to learn that fact...When Ronna smiled and talked about how she basically friend-zoned the guy....was that a thing that happened? Would he have to worry about that?
Victor tilted his head, "Zat...is true. It would be best to be direct..." He then trailed off, "Present company excluded of course..." When Ronna laughed Victor didn't know whether t laugh as well...or just stay silent, "...Well, I'm glad you told me anyway....no matter what happened."
The Frenchman then grinned, "So....moving away from that subject....How was your year thus far?" I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Hm..."

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] Isn't it better to have a slim chance than no chance at all? Meh... maybe, I was wrong.
Ronna raised a brow when Victor told her it was best to be direct, she had thought it was better to give the guy a slim chance than no chance and it was up to him if he wanted to see if he could pull off the slim chance or not. It wasn't like she hadn't told him the ridiculous odds up front... maybe she was wrong? She was thankful, though when Victor changed the subject as she sipped her coffee thinking on his words and sat down the coffee and said with a smile, "My year has been alright, I suppose. I lost my quidditch watching partner because he end up hooking up with some girl in his year during the Valentine's Dance apparently, but I'll live. I got to watch Gryffindor finally end our losing streak-against Slytherin no less. There's Dueling Club to keep me busy. Apparently I'm not black-listed from the quidditch team and they more or less would like me to try out again next year... though I don't know about my odds on actually making it. And I don't know if my very public apology about last year was accepted or not, but I tried..."
"... and I'm enjoying most of my classes. Astronomy is still the bane of my existence considering how late it is, and I do have four classes on Monday, but I'm really enjoying Arithmancy and Wizard Law is interesting. I've been doing surprisingly well in Advance Flying II, so far... Oh, and in Wandlore Studies the professor has pretty high expectations out of all of us, which I really am not the type to complain about professors pushing us to do our best, but ever since he found out my wand wood he's all 'oh your wand wood is laurel and doesn't accept laziness from its user just like I don't accept laziness': I think he is just going to put extra pressure on me for the Hell of it... I mean it isn't like I wouldn't work hard in the class anyways..." She ended rolling her eyes.
"Anyways, how's your year going so far?"

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed." When Ronna began speaking about her year, he could feel the slight tension ease and become a rather companionable air, "See~ You could try out!" He then grinned, "You should have tried out again....Zough I guess zere is always next year." He then listened to the rest, he giggled at her complaint of Astronomy, "At least it gives you an excuse to drink coffee....right?" When Ronna finished, he smiled some, "My year has been normal...Zankfully. I don't want a situation like ze previous year....or ze one before zat to happen again."
Victor then sighed, "Healing class has been interesting....I've learned lots of zings zus far." He then thought for a moment, "Divination has this really.........interesting professeur." He giggled, "Who is a genuine seer....zough she spaces out sometimes, which concerns me." Victor then tilted his head, "Ozer zan zat...." He smiled, "Ze year has been....tres bien." I feel calm you know?
My inner thoughts are, "Ah....Catching up is nice."

Location:Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop In Company of: Victor [Wearing: Casual Clothes] He does remember we are in healing class together? And a genuine seer? I doubt it...
"I did try out this year," Ronna said, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Actually I broke my nose this year in try-outs. Anyways, I tried out as an apology for last year, so yeah, I did try out, but I already knew I wouldn't make the team no matter how well I did or didn't do. On the bright side I was able to at least apologize for my past mistake and it is up to them to decide if I was sincere or not."
Then narrowing her brow at Victor she added, "And you do know I have healing with you too, Victor? It isn't my best class and I don't know if I'll pursue it after OWLs but it is interesting, I agree. But, what was that about divination? A genuine seer? I don't believe in that sort of thing. I'm a here and now sort of person... but then again we always did differ on our favorite class choices," Ronna ended with a laugh. "You like Astronomy too... and I actually haven't been drinking coffee for that class, believe it or not. I got Dad to send me dark chocolate covered espresso beans that are to die for. One or two of those and you can't help but stay awake for the class no matter your opinion on it."
Smiling she said adopting his French description, "Well, I'm glad your year has been 'tres bien'. I mean come to think of it, classes have been going fairly well for you from the sounds of it, and the Valentine's dance went alright-Hell you managed to get me to dance without stepping on your toes- and you got to dance with your crush. And you are one step closer to getting the courage to confess to him. And in my case I haven't made any more enemies since I started this school year and avoided any owls to Dad or a detention like first year. I think we're both doing pretty good."
