A Face from a Memory

[Amphitrite Zchechaf]

Amphitrite sat in the empty cafe, sipping on her coffee, watching the young girl across from her very closely. She may not have many students but as a private tutor Amphitrite liked to do things differently. After going through seven years of schooling she knew what it was like to be cooped up in a classroom everyday, having to look outside at the lovely weather while she was stuck inside listening to teachers drone on and on in what seemed like a never ending lecture. Sure Amphitrite loved school and did very well at that she had her days where she was s typical teenage girl that longed to be outside, enjoying the lovely weather. So now that she had the opportunity to teach she did it the way she never got to experience. On good days Amphitrite liked to take the students outside to practice spells where no valuables would get broke inside the house. Sometimes it would just be in the parents backyard but with the parents’ permission she liked to take them into the Village or at least away from the house because she believed that when the kids were away from their home and with the excitement of learning outside they would pay better attention to what was being taught and perform much better. She had only had a handful of students since she became an official tutor and non had yet to sit any proper exams but she could tell from the parents reports that they were getting on much better than they did with past tutors; and she had had some tough cases but despite Amphitrite being a lovely person in general she had been taught in Durmstrang so she knew how to put discipline into a student – so far it seemed to be working for her.

“Alright, Caroline, that’s enough for the day!” she said to the young girl as she lifted the piece of parchment from in front of her. “I’ll mark this tonight and I’ll see you tomorrow to practice some more wand work.” she told the girl with a soft smile as she watched the young blonde pack up her things and leave. It was still early in the day and Amphitrite had no more students today so now she had to figure out how to spend the rest of her day. Looking into her coffee cup she saw it was near empty so she decided to order another one and maybe start marking Caroline’s paper. Taking out her red self inking quill she started to assess the young girls paper on Werewolves.

Since there weren't any games so far, Enzo decided to take a walk along the Obsidian Harbor. He wanted to go to places in the wizardry world, places where he haven't quite visited a lot. Wearing his favorite gray shirt and some black hoodie over it, jeans and some sneakers. He started to pass by the different shops, there wasn't anything he needed to buy. So other than that, he decided to grab a coffee or something. It was after all still early to come home at this time, he also didn't wanted to bother his parents about making an appearance for them. For the past few weeks, it had been hard still living in one roof with his parents. Still he wasn't always home, Enzo was too busy with his practices and now being an Auror. That he would always check-in some random hotels inside New Zealand. Making sure he wasn't late for work and his practice, it wasn't that hard juggling two jobs at a time. Also he enjoyed being in the game and being an Auror. But for now he had extra free time to mingle with new or old friends, including his sister. Though it had been though for him keeping a secret from her, he managed to see him once in every two weeks.

Enzo entered a coffee shop, not minding if it was familiar. He approached the counter, hoping to leave soon and wander some more. Ordering a his iced coffee, he stood near by the counter waiting for his order. Too bad there wasn't any waitresses inside the shop at the very moment, the waiter was rather amazed when he talked to him. Still he ignored him and leaned at the counter, glancing at the door as different people started to come in. He saw a lady about older than him by a year and winked at her, making the lady blush. Inside he was chuckling, then as his eyes began to wander off around the shop. He saw a familiar face, sitting in a chair and from the looks of it she was alone. The lady was a brunette, chocolate brown to be exact. "Cocoa!" he shouted inside his mind and decided to approach her. "I'll be back." he said tot the waiter and started to see if it was actually her. He stood a few inches away from her, as he didn't want to surprise Cocoa by any chance. "So I was ordering my coffee and I kept staring at this beautiful brunette...." he trailed off , waiting for her response.

Amphitrite had to admit she was very pleased with Caroline’s progress as she marked the young girl’s paper. Caroline wasn’t exactly one of the bad students but she had a slight problem with being focused on something for a long period of time. This is why she sat with her and made her do the paper so that Amphitrite could get her back on the right track of mind incase she would get distracted. This was also why the paper was only really half completed, she realised that it was best to make Caroline do a lot in one sitting as she might find it too hard to concentrate on the task at hand and her work would become sloppy. When she started to tutor Caroline she would wonder why she was receiving half finished assignments from one week to the next. After making her discovery this is when she sat down with Caroline’s parents and decided it was best to increase her tutoring sessions to 5 a week, but breaking up one big subject into 5 smaller segments and they seemed to be working a treat. Setting the paper aside for a few moments she sat back to enjoy her fresh cup of coffee. She hadn’t been much of a coffee fan before but ever since she started getting students for her private tutoring business she had grown to love it.

Sitting back on her chair she began to something else she loved; people watch. The cafe wasn’t overly busy or anything but she enjoyed watching everyone and letting her over active imagination go into overdrive and make up crazy stories about them and random back stories, it was a simple thing but it was fun and she enjoyed doing it, it was normally something she did to just pass the time when she didn’t feel like going back to her apartment after a day of teaching – she got bored and lonely there. Caught in the middle of crazy love affair between two people sitting across the cafe from her by the sound of someone talking to her she took a few moments to come back to Earth. Tilting her head up she looked at a very familiar face, somehow she knew the face before she saw it but she figured she just recognised the voice. “You never change.” she said with a laugh as she got up and wrapped her arms around one of her best friends from school. “Enzooo! What are you doing here?” she said in an excited tone.

During Enzo's stay in Durmstrang he only had a few friends and most of them were girls. He wasn't that friendly with boys and if he was, it would always cause him some harm. Maybe because they didn't like him for making their girlfriends drool over him, and that was not his problem. Other than that he liked the idea of being grounded with girls, it gave him a chance to prove that he ins't that of a player. He liked having girls as friends, also because they were there to help him out. It just seem easier to have a girl as a friend and not flirt with her. Enzo watched Cocoa reactions, it was still the same girl he had met a year ago. He could remember her being one of his close friends, the girl who couldn't court or anything near to that. Still it would cross his mind back then, if ever they ended up being more than friends.

"And so do you." he replied, chuckling. Enzo hugged her back, squeezing her tight. Then letting her go, he stared at Cocoa. "I just dropped by to grab some coffee, I didn't even knew you were here." he said. Enzo wondered what job or profession was Cocoa taking, as he never got a chance to see her after graduation. "So what's keeping you busy?" Enzo asked him, quite intrigued. He turned his back when he heard the waiter call his attention, which he wasn't good at by the way. "I'll just.. Excuse me for a sec." he said to her, then immediately grab his coffee. He then payed his iced coffee and took a sip it. The taste wasn't that bad, it was rather refreshing. Returning to Cocoa, he winked at her continuing to sip his iced coffee while waiting for her to respond.

Sorry about the wait, crazy week

---

Life never really got exciting for Amphitrite. She was, in general, a quite girl. Even in school she was quite and kept herself to herself, despite being friendly and having a happy go lucky attitude to most of life, she never had many friends because people thought her crazy for wearing dresses and being cheery, in Durmstrang, that was never really an option. Although Amphitrite never wanted to go to Durmstrang, she didn’t like it there; she didn’t like the teachers and the subjects for the most part. She had much preferred it in Hogwarts New Zealand where she had started her schooling career but of course her father couldn’t stand it anymore and shipped her off to Durmstrang just because it was his alma mater. Despite not enjoying the school much and not being able to socialise much she did have a few friends. Of course most of them just happened to be more like people she was familiar with and would hang out with or say hi too in the corridors, but when then she was pretty sure they found her strange as well. The people, of course, were the ones from the band that she was in and she only joined because of Enzo, the only friend she ever really had a Durmstrang.

They hadn’t really kept in touch much after graduation but she heard all about him regularly from following the Quidditch scene. It was no shock to her that her friend was doing well for himself, he was such a ladies’ man but he was smart, deep down, she knew that and he was clearly talented too. Although she never did expect to see him again in a cafe in New Zealand, she expected him to be too busy to have a personal life much these days, hence why she hadn’t tried to make contact with him. Smiling from ear to ear as she broke from her embrace she took her seat again, indicating to the seat next to her for him to take. As she was about to respond to his question she stopped herself as he went to collect his drink. “Not a lot to be honest. I mean I’m working, I’m a private tutor for children that are homeschooled.” she said with a silly chuckle as she waved the papers she had started to grade. “But it doesn’t keep me really busy. You on the other hand, do you even have time to breath anymore?” she asked jokingly.

It had been easy for Enzo, having jobs that paid so much. A family that supports him and unlimited ladies to flirt with. He was living a dream, still he couldn't seem to be that happy at the moment. There was something missing, he wasn't sure what it was. Though he tried his best to replace his thoughts and concentrate on his current life. Sure he had his downfalls, mostly in Durmstrang. Where he met lots of girls, which some were a handful. Other than that he was pure lucky to be here, having a life which is absolutely perfect. He didn't wanted to waste any of that, which was why he ignored all the negative energy he was feeling. Most of all he didn't wanted to end up like his cousin Raffaelo, it was the last thing he hoped for. Enzo gradually got his mind on track and gaze at Cocoa, seeing her signal to sit beside her.

The two were nearly strangers, since it had been months in which they had seen each other. They were still in Durmstang, in a band. Which never really ended as a success but as a failure, they never had a gig or anything. Maybe it had it's purpose, which lead him on being an auror and in a Quidditch team. He even thought about becoming a musician one day too, which didn't had that of a big pay. So he was happy how his path changed and turned his career on top. As Enzo took a sit, he watched Cocoa wave her papers in front of him. He was in a bit shock inside, never did he expect her to be a private tutor in their whole years of being friends. Sure she was bright and steadfast, but he saw her more than that. A more professional work, something much bigger for his friend. Still, life had it's whirlwinds. Which may lead to another road, so he didn't need to expand that topic.

Enzo chuckled a little, upon hearing Cocoa's words. It's as if she knew what he was doing now, or maybe just a hint of it. He really wasn't sure if news started to spread, but he did knew that everyone was aware of his Quidditch career. Juggling his career on Quidditch and being an auror wasn't that easy in some ways, still he tried to manage everything quite well. At the moment there wasn't any auror duties that he was aware of which seems a good idea to practice on the field everyday. Which made him more buff than his younger years, he needed all the strength he could have. Since both of his works needed to be fit and ready. "At the moment yes, but I don't think I'll be able to for the next days." Enzo replied smirking at her.

Amphitrite had never expected to find herself as a private tutor. She had always had such bigger dreams as a career path. There was always the Ministry and so many options came with that one place, but that was the problem there was just so many options she could never think of one thing that she would love to do with the rest of the life. It was only a couple of summers ago when she was home for the holidays and her cousins were over visiting. Most of her cousins were home schooled and had homework during the summer as well. Amphitrite found herself helping her cousins with their work and teaching them somethings, techniques to help remember important things and even information that they didn’t know; she enjoyed it. So every summer holiday after that when she went home she would help them and she even began to tutor some of the younger students in school when they had trouble with certain subjects. So a dream of becoming a Professor someday began to grow with in her but she knew that she was far too young to be a Professor, who would take you seriously at 18? She was only a few years older than what some of her students would be so she knew there was no way that she would even get the job let alone be able to reach any of the students. So she figured that for a few years at least being a private tutor would benefit her greatly, she would get the experience of teaching people and when she was a decent age she could maybe apply for a job somewhere. She would love to go back to Hogwarts New Zealand, it was where she had started her academic career and she regretted not being able to go back to at least do her final year, so to return there and teach would be a dream come true for her. She loved Hogwarts New Zealand when she was there and hated when she had to leave, so she really wanted to go back one day and if it was to be as a teach, so be it.

Part of her did envy Enzo for having a fun and exciting life, because the life of a private tutor who lived on her own and didn’t have many friends was never really all that exciting, it was actually quite boring at times. Smiling as Enzo decided to sit down with her, she was glad of the company. She may not have liked Durmstrang much but at least she had made a good friend like Enzo out of it. She nodded her head slightly in response. She didn’t really have the problem about not having a break, she was her own boss so she was able to have time off when she wanted too and depending on whether or not she had any clients she could work whenever she wanted too. Although she wasn’t the type of person that would not take a client because she was lazy or would put someone off for a few days, she loved her job and when someone asked for her she would try and take them as soon as she could, she loved working. “You sound so busy. But I take it you still have time for the ladies, right?” she asked with a laugh lacing her words.

Everyone thought he was perfect, even the people that knew him well. It was hard living to the expectations of others, but not his family. He was open with them, there were no secrets unless it wasn't meant to be shared. But why'd still everyone saw him as Mr. Perfect or Mr. Big-shot, when he was just really lucky and blessed. Enzo watched Cocoa's eyes from a corner, wondering what was she thinking. Even she was the silent type, he knew that she had several problems of her own. At times it disturbs him to be not able to ask her or maybe figure her problems. Maybe he just didn't want to invade her personal space, which he decided to just let her be at times. It was the usual Enzo, he was there for his friends but once pushed away he never or he didn't continued to share his opinions. If he wasn't needed, then he wasn't he needed, just like that.

Then he wondered if Cocoa was happy about her life right now, though some part of him already knew she wasn't that stable or happy just yet. He knew she had bigger dreams other than being a private tutor. "Always." he replied with a cheeky smile. As if flirting was his long time hobby, it made him differ from the other boys. Sure he was the biggest flirt even voted back in Durmstrang, but he had a genuine heart. Girls was just his weakness, his only weakness. Other than his family of course, which was why he never settled for one. Each relationship of his didn't even last a month or so, it was their own good. Which explains that he needed someone special, though it wasn't the moment just yet. "How about you? Any boys hitting on you? Perhaps under the age of twelve?" he joked. Though some part of him wanted to know if she was still single like she was always back in their Durmstrang days, at least that was what he knew.

Realising that there was no point of her mopping over the past and her current situation of no friends and pretty much no life she pushed that to the back of her mind. Why should she worry about something that couldn’t be fixed; well at least the past couldn’t be fixed, she didn’t know how to get her hand on a time turner so she had to continue with the present day and look forward to the future. Although if she wanted to make a good future she was going to have to do something about her lack of friends and a life. Her life pretty much consisted of her job, that’s why she made sure that she didn’t turn down a job, no matter what the circumstances she knew that if she didn’t push herself then what would the point be in anything really? She had always enjoyed a challenge and pushing herself to her limit and even further after that and what better time to explore that limit that in her job and a career that she really planned on having the rest of her life. Although she knew that she should really push her social limits a bit more and go out, meet some new people and maybe she wouldn’t be so lonely anymore. She had even gotten a kitten, but it was an adorable kitten and she loved it to bits but she was started to become the stereotypical single woman with no life and million cats; she was only 18 for crying out loud, she was nowhere near an old single spinster woman. Shaking her head slightly to kick that image out of her head she took another sip of coffee and brought herself back into the conversation with Enzo.

It was so nice to talk to him again, she didn’t know why she hadn’t tried to keep better contact with him, he was busy so she knew him getting back to her was going to be damn near impossible but she was doing nothing overly stressing with her life that she wouldn’t be able to take a few minutes and write him a short letter to see how he was getting on. A part of her was convinced that he was too busy to talk to her and was off enjoying his great life and probably wouldn’t want to be bothered with the mousey, quiet, bookworm of a friend that he used to have in a previous life; or that he may have even forgotten who she was. Of course that was just her overactive imagination running away with her again and making a mountain of a molehill; clearly it was all just her imagination as here he was, talking to her and catching up like old friends do. Laughing softly as Enzo confirmed that he was still the same ole womaniser that he was, at least that hadn’t changed. Rolling her eyes at Enzo’s comment about boys, especially the kind under the age of 12. “Oh yes, I’m engaged to an 8 year old, we’re getting married in his toy room next week, you should come.” she joked, a laugh lacing her words. “Although seriously, there is this boy, Jeremy, 11, cute as can be, but he seems a little too keen to learn.” she said, somewhat more serious this time, unfortunately there really was a Jeremy. “But no boys closer to my age. I don’t know...I was just never that type you know me, Enzo.” she said, with a bit of a frown breaking her happy exterior.

 

[Lawrence Andrew Cavell]

Out all of Enzo's friends, other than Faxen it was Cocoa that accepted him the most. Even though he almost flirted with all of the ladies back in Durmstrang, and even some Professor's as he can remember. She accepted him being just as he is, explains why he never flirted with her. Cocoa's is one of his greatest friends and he didn't wanted to destroy their relationship by hooking up with her. She was special of course, something that he genuinely appreciate. In which he never tried to see her more than a friend, although he couldn't help thinking why she's still single. She's such a beautiful and caring girl, though she may look shy at times. All that he wants is for her to be happy, she's better than she thinks she is. One time he wanted to ask her on a date but just as friends, though he never had an opportunity to do so.

As he was about to ask her the same question like he wanted to years ago, he hear laugh. Which made his smile as well, hearing her brag about some children dating with her. Although it wasn't healthy to be going out with her clients, he knew very well she was joking. "They all sound tempting for you. he teased her, chuckling lightly as she continued to say some more. Until he noticed her frown, which made Enzo's heart break. It was just so unreal of her to be here alone in a cafe, dateless. He could imagine her every single day being alone and just tutoring some random children for his word, she really does need to go on dates. "Well, what do you say you go on a date with me then?" stated the gent hoping she'll yes. Maybe he could get her out of her shell, and let some guys notice her once he's with him on a date.

[Amphitrite Zchechaf]

Taking a sip of her drink Amphitrite made herself more comfortable in her seat, she was with a friend now - a good friend at that - so there was no need for her to be in her tutor setting, guards up and professional. This is one of the reasons why she believed she and Enzo were such good friends for as long as they had been, there were able to balance each other out - Amphitirte was able to relax around him and he helped bring out that part of Amphitrite that she never thought existed in her and she was able to help Enzo be a little more settled in his ways and help focus when it came to it; not enough for him to feel like she was mothering him. Enjoying the sound of her own laugh again, something she hadn't heard in quite sometime she began to feel a lot more relaxed and was wondering why she hadn't just contacted Enzo before now instead of fate letting the two of them meet today. She had been in such a rut lately and this was exactly what she needed to get out of it. As well as her own laugh she was happy to hear the laugh of another person that wasn't a child or the parent of one of her kids that she taught when they thought the kid did something adorable that Amphitrite felt obliged to laugh too but she found rather boring and repetitive after every kid seemed to do it and every parent thought it was adorable.

While it was all well and good to have a laugh at her expense about how there was no chance for her to get a date with anyone but a 10 year old that she taught and who had far too much confidence for a 10 year old. Amphitrite knew that it was pretty pathetic for someone her age to not have a boyfriend, or even had a boyfriend in the past, but it was never something that ever appealed to the young woman and she knew that no one ever had the interest in her, why would they - she was such a nerd at times. Which was why when Enzo made a proposition for her she nearly choked on her drink. Coughing slights she looked at Enzo with confusion. "I'm sorry, for a moment there I thought you were asking me out on a date...but we're just friends, Enzo!" she spluttered, shock stopping her from what was coming out of her mouth. "Why would you want to go out on a date with me - you of all people know what I'm like." she said with a awkward laugh.

 

[Lawrence Andrew Cavell]

Enzo had never met anyone that he really loved or anything, it was always a fling and nothing serious. Though at times he couldn't help himself wonder if there would be a possibility for him to find someone to have a relationship with. Something sure and long for once, he knew he wasn't that type but he'll take a risk once he meets someone deserving enough. He also knew the possibility of dating his friend, it would be likely to happen seeing she's witty and pretty as well. It was that he never saw her more than a friend, since she's too focus on her studies and other stuff. Enzo never saw her out with a boy or anyone really. At the same time he's doing her a favor to actually loosen up and have fun, beside she looks like she needs it. The looks on Cocoa's face made Enzo laugh a little, as if he was joking or something. Definitely he isn't, he leaned a bit closer mesmerized by her reaction. "You know some people would be happy if I'd ask them out on a date." he replied sarcastically then for a moment he looked away from her. It wasn't a joke, he really does meant it. Enzo always wondered what it would be like, dating his friend. He haven't dated his best friend Faxen so might as well date Cocoa before her.

It would be interesting to date someone who actually knows you and could laugh at your joke, it might be awkward though. He didn't want to force her, still he wouldn't give up trying. "I'm doing you a favor. If it makes it easier for you to say yes, just think of it as a friendly date. Two friends having lunch or dinner, anything you want.] his tone casual, this time he's serious. Enzo looked at her once again, this time he tried to lean to his chair now. Since it wasn't the best thing to do, staring at her until she says yes. "And that's the fun part, you're amazing." he complimented her, meeting her eyes. Some girls would blush and never look away, he's not sure if she'll be doing the same. After several minutes of looking at her, Enzo's gaze stopped and now focused on his hands. Years back he never thought that he'll be asking Cocoa on a date, serious or not serious, as friends or not. If ever they'll have a spark between them, might as well go for it.
​

 

[Amphitrite Zchechaf]

Amphitrite didn't know what to think about Enzo asking her out. They had been friends for years now and she had heard of too many stories about when friends decided to tamper with the boundries of their friendship and date - most of the time it didn't work out and they never spoke again. This was what scared Amphitrite, she didn't have many friends, actually she was pretty sure Enzo was her only friend and she didn't want to lose that friendship, then she really would be alone in the world apart from her students, which would be frowned upon if she tried to befriend on a personal level instead of the Professional level which she was paid to have with them. Hearing a laugh breaking from Enzo's lips she looked up at him behind confused eyes. Why is he laughing? she thought. For a moment she was almost angry at him, he wasn't laughing because he thought the idea of her thinking that he was being serious was funny, was he? No, that wouldn't be Enzo. She reassured herself. Although this didn't help her, why was he laughing then? Her question was soon answered when hs leaned in a bit closer and made a comment that was completely Enzo. Shaking her head and laughing softly her head, she rolled her eyes and she sat back in her chair. "Very funny, Enzo. But you know that's not what I mean." She said, with a slight apologetic tone in her voice, hoping that Enzo knew her well enough by now that she wouldn't be as mean as to say anything like that.

This was all a little crazy, Amphitrite had never been on a date before and she never thought that her first one would be with Enzo, of all people. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing but he had just been her friend for so long she always thought that it would remain that way and that if he had ever wanted to ask her out he would of done it long before now, it wasn't for lack of opportunities that he had. The young brunette listened to Enzo continue to talk; he brought up a very good point. Sliently contemplating the option she was given she took a sip of her coffee which she had finished a while ago - but it was something to fill the slience while she thought it over. It was decent comprimise and that way if it didn't feel right then it could be shrugged off as two friends having a meal together, something completely normal and not awkward in the slightest. As she set her cup down she heard Enzo make the last pull of her leg to get her to go with the offer. Rolling her deep brown eyes they feel on Enzo one last time. "So whatever I want you say?" she asked with a small smirk, meaning she was up for it but it would be under her terms.

 

[Lawrence Andrew Cavell]

There's a fine line with the two of them when it comes to their friendship, they never dated or anything. Nor did Enzo ever attempted to date his friend, she would always see her as a sister and nothing more. But for some reason, it just popped inside his head, to ask Cocoa on a date. There wasn't anything wrong with that, seeing that they were both single and alone for most of the time. Since Cocoa never really went out with some guys during their Durmstrang years or even now. He wanted to at least give her a good time and make her happy. Aside from that Cocoa is indeed a nice, beautiful catch. If it weren't for their friendship, he probably had courted or at least flirting with her back in the days. He took this chance to reason him out but the truth was he just wanted to experiment, maybe they could be happy with each other. Enzo isn't sure of that but he's willing to try, though he didn't want to scare his friend at all. He thought of just teasing her for the meantime until Cocoa would say yes, "Don't tell me you're afraid of going out on a date with me?" he said to her with a cocky smile. No one ever refuses on Enzo's request to have a date with him, Cocoa being the first to refuse.

Enzo wondered what she was thinking, for sure she was somehow worried or just laughing off the idea. On the other hand Enzo's hoping she would say yes, there was no reason to say no. Since he suggested it would be a friendly date but everyone knows that something always lead to another or two. He cares for her and wouldn't dare to hurt his friends feelings, just seeing girls cry isn't in his nature. Sure, he may be a flirt and a well known playboy but he treats every girl with respect and what they deserve to be treated. The auror smiled at his friend, sweet and gentle. "Yes, whatever you want. Milady." he answered her back. Slightly folding his arms and leaning into the chair as few eyes were still clued at them. Even though they were friend he never really spent a lot of time with her, since Cocoa studying in the library and him on the Quidditch pitch practicing and all. Then after he would find some ladies, smirk and wink always makes them breathless. The perks of being a good looking guy, made him known and famous around Durmstrang and up to now in the public places.

[Amphitrite Zchechaf]

On Enzo’s question Amphitrite thought to herself, was she scared to go on a date with Enzo? If so was it because he was her friend and she didn’t want to ruin their friendship, or did was it because she was afraid of maybe having feelings for him and he would dump her as soon as he found someone else to go after once he got bored of her; and having known Enzo for a couple of years now she knew this happened a lot – but would it be different for her. Pondering her worries to herself for a few silent moments she realised it was neither of them, she was scared to go on a date with Enzo, but it was because she wasn’t sure how to act on a date, what if she did something wrong? How was she supposed to act? What was expected off her? What was she supposed to do? Amphitrite has never been on a date before so obviously she didn’t know what was to be expected from her or in general. Then again Enzo did reassure her that it would just be two friends having lunch or dinner so that should be easy enough right? She hoped so. Putting her doubts aside she began think more and more about the idea and she began to think it couldn’t be all that bad, she was almost 21 now and she had never been on a date before or even been kissed, this could be a good opportunity for her to finally have some proper life experiences and be a regular 20 year old girl – what could be so wrong with that? Well it was out of her comfort zone so it could be a complete disaster but then again she could only learn from her mistakes – something she regularly told her students, don’t be afraid to fail because your mistakes help you be the person you need to be and help you learn.

When Amphitrite asked Enzo if the date could be whatever she wanted and he agreed there was a small smirk on the 20 year old’s pink lips and glint in her deep brown eyes. “You may end up regret saying that Enzo!” she said with a small laugh as she started put her books, quills and other bits and pieces into her bottomless handbag. Ever girl had their perfect first date in mind and Amphitrite was no different, in this sense she was still a typical girl. Although she had never planned on it being with Enzo so she needed to do some rearranging in her plans. “It’s getting late and I have a busy day tomorrow but I’ll send you an owl when I’m next free, we can make plans then.” she said as she stood up and put her handbag around her neck. “Thanks for this Enzo, it’s been great catching up. I’ll talk to you later/” she said as she gave Enzo and small hug before walking out of the small cafe, waving as she walked by the window.
