Dude, What's Up?!

[Xavier Snow]

Xavier decided that he was extremely nervous about being away from good old Beauxbatons by this point. He missed Trilby, and seeing his friend Vincent around and he wanted to know if they missed having him around them and his lame jokes that he always used to greet them with when he saw them in the hallways. Vincent was especially was worrying him lately because the poor guy seemed to have it rough enough the last time they spoke and now he wanted to know how he was doing lately, and writing a letter seemed to be the only to do that quickly enough.

Vincent,

Man, it's been so long since I've seen you around. How have you been because honestly I'm quite worried about you since you seemed to be a bit off before school even started back up awhile ago. Is there something bother you because if there is let me know dude, friends have to stick together in times like...I think. Have you heard about the TriWizard tournament going on between Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons? Who's your schools champion, please say it's not you because I don't want to have to worry about your a** all the time because you wanted eternal glory!

Write me back Man!
-Xavier

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Vincent was not expecting an owl to fly in his general direction until it happened suddenly. Glancing up, it dropped a letter. Vincent was at lunch in the hall, and he ripped the letter open while drinking some juice. It was from Xavier! His best friend that transfered! He didn't get why he did, but everything happened for a reason. Taking some parchment, blue ink and a quill, Vincent started on a reply, before folding it and letting the owl take off with it.

Xavier,
Well, you did happen to leave Beauxbatons. Just at the wrong time dude! I know I seemed a bit off but things are going fine well now. The NEWTs are a pain but you know me. Something was Nothing is bothering me. Yes, people won't shut up about it! No, I am not a champion. I didn't even bother trying to put my name in the cup. Really, why would I bother? The champion is Aubrey Derlich or something. Don't really know her. I just wish her the best of luck though. What school are you cheering for? Surely you aren't a Hogwarts fan already! If you were, I was so pound you to the ground. Haha.

Vincent,

I know I left Beauxbatons, but that was mostly out of major fear of my father's terrible anger that would appear if I argued with him and also I wanted to try and become close with Alyssa and Theodore during the time I had left to get to know them. I think that was the worst idea ever because the two of them are making it so hard to bond with them, Theodore brings me down very chance he gets and Alyssa always seems like she has something better to do or somewhere else she could be rather than next to me. I just want them to like me so badly but they won't give me the smallest chance to be their big brother. Aubrey Derlich hm, I know her alright I can't believe she's the champion, I wish her all the luck I have man! Our schools Champion is Mike Goulding, I've never met him but he seems like a really good guy so I hope he does well too!

Haha, no I'm sort of a Hogwarts fan enough not to wish badly upon it but I do miss Beauxbatons so much at this point. People here seem a lot harder to along with than they were in France, and it's really starting to get on my nerves from how they act around me. I joined a Brotherhood lately, and please don't even get me started on the NEWTS Vincent, how many are you trying to take again man? I've been hearing more about the OWL's more than anything thanks to Alyssa, little miss Overachiever wants to become a Healer and is literally driving both me and Theodore insane because she's stressing herself out over something she really doesn't need to. Seriously must be chick thing because I don't get it, I tell her to relax and she flips out.

Something was bothering you? Why don't you just cut the crap and just tell me what was bothering you so I can at least be a good friend and see if I can help.

My aunt is totally a Professor here too, which is beyond awesome!

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
I am sorry that you aren't fitting in with your family, man. Try to connect with them. They have to have some of the same similarities with you, dude. You all three are siblings, you know? Actually, you have too many siblings. Have I ever told you that? I am an only child, but wish I had a brother or sister, and after that, well, makes me a little glad that I don't have one. Haha. Yeah, I've seen Mike around. Seems like a good man. Can't say much on him though. I don't really talk to the other Hogwarts people. I don't have the time to because of the NEWTs. I am taking many, my friend, many. I am going to be an Auror sometime. I doubt Astronomy...well, I know what I am going to get on it. Boy, do I hate that class! That really sounds like Alyssa, being like that.
You might not like what I say. Okay something was bothering me, and I was trying to well, pretend it never happened. Your sister had a boyfriend, and it was tearing me apart just bothering me to some degree. Well, to put it honest, I was jealous. And hurt that Alyssa chose him over me. When I saw him break up with her, she ran to me. I don't know what she was expecting me to do. So, I was a fool for not comforting her because I was selfish and hurt and betrayed. What I realized a few nights ago, well... Xavier, I like love am in love with her. I don't know what to do, and I think I blew any chance of being with her out of the water. I want to tell her in person, but I can't even leave school until Christmas break.

- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

I wish you all the luck in the World on those nasty NEWT's, I bet your father is so proud that you want to become an Auror like him. Dude Wait, the girl you were all moody and crushing over was Alyssa, I totally thought it was Gabrielle for some stupid reason seeing as you two seemed like you got along well. In fact thats what I told Alyssa who you liked when she asked, boy did she get extremely upset about hearing that from someone like me..wish I had known you were talking about her though. I think right after that she got together with Leo too, I don't like that boy at all because he seemed to only be into her because she was pretty and he sucked at resisting the charm. The jerk stomped all over her poor little heart and I was the one who had to listen to her bawl about it for days afterwards too because Theodore refused to get involved when he told her it was going to end badly in the first place.

WHAT?! Your in love with her, you mean like you wanna get married and have babies kind of love or just you really like her and your just over-exaggerating kind of love? Because believe it or not there is a complete different when it comes to love man, especially if you want to tell her after what happened between you two. If this love is really for real man and your not playing around, than I can give you some advice or help on what to do about this.....

You sound so grown up when you say your in love, makes me laugh.
-Xavier

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
Dad is. I admire him to no end. He is an excellent Auror, you know. He is just the right type to hunt down those criminals. Just like I will be doing as soon as I am out of here. Um, what? You thought I liked Gabrielle?! Ew, god no! Why in the world did you think that? I...no no no, I couldn't like Gabrielle! She isn't my type! How...why? Oh my... No wonder she got with him. I thought she... Oh my god. This whole mess probably wouldn't have happened if she thought that I liked her and not Gabrielle. I just... Xavier, have you thought about getting your head scanned? I thought it was obvious that I liked Alyssa! Even to you! Are you seriously dense in the head?
Well, I am not over-exaggerating. I can see myself married to her in the future. Not right away, but yes, eventually. I would love to get married to her when we both are ready for that type of commitment. If I didn't love her, Xavier, I would just forget about her. I've tried to. And I have failed. I think about her all the time. I truly think I really, honest to Merlin, love Alyssa.

- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

Huh, so your going to go and hunt criminals then. I suppose that includes Death Eaters as well, my family is absolutely swarming with them from what I've heard.


Wow man thats almost overwhelming to process through my head, you being in love with my little sister like that. I apologize but I had never actually seen you with Alyssa or anything, I just assumed she had a crush on you and that was the end of the story because she is quite a few years younger than you are. And Gabrielle so seemed like your type to me, but wow I really had the wrong Snow in mind then I'm so sorry man that I sort of screwed things up for you two. But I don't see how it was exactly obvious that you liked Alyssa, it isn't uncommon for boys to be nice to her because she's a Veela so I just assumed you got hooked onto the charm just like the rest usually do. I do have to admit though that it seems like it would be to late for you to go and take things back, you sort of crushed her heart and put it out there that she was seemingly a selfish b*tch which she wasn't very happy about. But I can tell that she still probably had feelings of some sort for you no matter how hard she tries she can't hide that one from us.
I think if anything you need to tell her that you love her, especially in person because not does she have the right to hear you say it but chicks go all gaga for that kind of stuff. Maybe even write a letter or two to get the two of you talking again or something like that, then you can ask her to meet you under the stars...something romantic like that. Perhaps even jewelry would work, what do you think you want to do about the whole situation.

Does anyone else know that you love her?
-Xavier

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
Oh man, I really screwed up. I just want things back to normal, but that could be asking just too much. The plan I have is send her notes, small notes. I won’t sign my name, but I will say that I am the boy who screwed up. It would be obvious that it is me, and send her gifts to warm her up. I really regret what I have said, what I have done. But I just have never felt this strongly about someone other than Alyssa in my life. I know it is true, I know it is the best. It is the best I can offer and I am afraid it just isn’t enough. Nothing is enough for that angel.
I will be telling her in person my feelings for her. I don’t know how girls are a lot when it comes to love, even if I have met a lot of girls and hung around them. I know just how to charm her. Under the stars… Christmas. That is right. Perfect. Jewelry, a romantic dinner, maybe? I need some ideas. I live in New Zealand, so I can set that up easily. What do you think? And no, no one else knows how I truly feel about Alyssa.

- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

I'm pretty sure things will be back to normal soon man, you just got to give it some time a little effort and things will work themselves out. So your going to write her notes, what are you going to say in those notes that your going to send her..better yet when are you going to start writing and sending them to her because you might want to start warming her up as quick as possible. Christmas is far closer than you think Vincent. Definitely don't tell her you love her until you meet her in person though, you need to save that part for last otherwise it'll kill the mood, admitting to loving someone isn't as romantic over letters as it would be doing it in person.
Jewelry and dinner under the stars on Christmas? Dude thats good, I am certainly impressed and I've gotta say that Alyssa seems like the type to be a total sucker for those kinds of things. Or maybe even if your unsure of the whole dinner thing I'm sure even a simple walk or a box of chocolates would do for her, surprisingly enough Alyssa is less picky about those types of things than most people actually give her credit for. I think as long as it's sweet, you don't act like a jerk, or overwhelm the poor girl then everything should go almost like you plan it to. Luckily Alyssa moved in with our Aunt Effie whom also lives in New Zealand, so things in that area seem to be looking in your favor already.

So no one knows about this then? I wonder what your dad would think if you told him that your in love, or maybe he's already noticed it himself. Eventually you should tell him if you haven't already, he sort of has every right to know about this. I'll be careful and try not to let Theodore hear about it either, he'd flip his lid and probably somehow prevent Alyssa from going anywhere over Christmas. If you want I can lurk around and keep an eye on her, and possibly try to dig and see if she has any feelings for you still, which I assume she does.

Even though I really think she does like you, whats going to happen if she doesn't feel the same way for you, Vincent?
-Xavier

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
I shall start tomorrow. I am feeling a little bummed out right now. I really miss her and want her back so badly. I just hope that my plan works out in the end. I would seriously just give up in life if I didn’t have her. Maybe I am just hopeless, you know? Busting the bubble in person would be so much better than anything else.
I am thinking a small dinner, a box of chocolate, maybe a stuffed animal, candlelight, under the stars given that it isn’t raining, and on Christmas. I will share her how I truly and really feel. I just hope I don’t screw it up like one of the candles setting everything on fire. After that little worry clears up, then everything will be in the good. My dad, I probably should tell him. He does have a right to know about everything. I’ll send him an owl tomorrow as well. He should be understanding though. He always has been. Yes, don’t let that twin brother of hers know about it. I think he doesn’t like me very well, but the feeling is mutual. Try your best to keep from her about me, and Xavier, I need all the help I can get.

To be honest, I really don’t know…
- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

Ah, so your going to start sending her letters tomorrow...are they going to just be like friendly re-connecting sort of letters or are you going to hint that you have feelings for her in there? Dude, don't give up in life if you don't have her or she doesn't return those feelings of yours, she's just a girl and she isn't worth the heart break of someone so usually strong and fearless. Then again I've never been in love, so I wouldn't know if it truly hurts the heart or not. Vincent, what does being in love with someone feel like, I don't think I've ever been in love but even if I did I'm not sure how to tell if I ever was or not and I'm sort of curious to see if it's really as bad as your making it sound...or if there's a good side to it all. Because right now it just sounds like it hurts.
The plans you have sounds like they would do the trick for her, especially since I know Alyssa pretty well and those all happen to be things that I've heard her and her friends gossip about when they talk about the 'perfect date' that a girl would always want. Okay, the candle part does sound funny though, I don't think it would be that bad of a thing to happen to you on your little date thing, because it would surely be a good laugh. Ugh, your not going to kiss her or anything are you?

Telling your dad would definitely be a good idea, I bet he'd either be really shocked or happy that his son is in love. You'll have to tell me what he says/thinks about it just because I'm really curious about it now. I know that I'll try to keep this from both Teddy and my father because god knows how he would react to this sort of thing so soon when he already has trouble to deal with. So you said you wanted me to keep an eye on Alyssa because you needed all the help you could get Something interesting was mentioned the other day; it turns out she's not going to the Yule Ball this year even though she was asked by someone. Apparently she's going home to New Zealand right around Christmas time so it would definitely be the perfect chance to catch her. I also know that she's not going to the Halloween Feast this year because she caught a virus and had been stuck in bed for a few days, but other than that I haven't heard anything or seen anything about her.

'If you get married I can go to the wedding right?'
-Xavier

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
Friendly reconnecting. After a while though, maybe in December then I may start to hint around. But so subtle, even you won’t be able to figure it out. You know what I mean? I won’t give up. I have many years ahead of me. I don’t give up that easily. But… Well, I don’t know. Maybe I am just hopeless. You will know when you are in love. Trust me, you will know. There is a good side, if you can be with the one you love. But if you can’t, there is more hurt than good. I am glad though that the little plan will work. I have strong faith that it will work. I know girls, perhaps far too well. Thank Merlin for girls that are just friends. I dunno if they crush on me, but they know more about Alyssa than anyone else. I talk about her so much. Um, I just might, so you better not be there.

Knowing my dad like I do, he will be thrilled. I hope. He is too wrapped up in his Auror business to really pay much attention to me it seems. I’ll tell you when I write the letter. Scratch that, I just received the letter. Um, can’t really tell how he feels. Just wishing me luck, and to be careful who I love. Oh, man, that sounds perfect! I can only hope my plan falls through!

Dude, you would be the best man,
- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

Am I allowed to see the letters you write her, if she even lets me see them once she has them though? I don't mean to be nosy but this is probably one of the most interesting things I have heard about in awhile, I'm very curious to see how this works out between the two of you now and seeing as your going to try and mack on her chances are I won't get to spy on you two. I want to lurk along anyways, but I figured you would probably drill a hole in my head if you caught me sneaking around and possibly ruining something with her. Your not going to give up either, poor Alyssa doesn't even know what's coming and it'll probably be one of the biggest moments of her life and probably one of the biggest in your life too man.

Wow, sometimes I forget how your dad is but at least he wished you luck and everything, he probably feels a little awkward that his only child is grown up and is in love with someone. Are you going to ever try and have him meet Alyssa, I'm sure that would be interesting..but what if he doesn't approve of the one you've fallen for? Haha and don't tell Alyssa about the best man thing, she's not extremely happy with me at the moment and I'm pretty sure she is tempted to knock a few of my teeth in.

Veela's are so vicious...
-Xavier

//Since your not on skype for me to bother you about this and I'm to lazy to PM you, should we have the letters being written to Alyssa instead of Xavier soon?//

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
Only if she shows them to you. Otherwise, tough luck, mate. You will know what happens, when it happens, and if it doesn't, well, you would know what happened then as well. One of us would tell you. Thank Merlin that you won't be spying on us. I might have to throw a hex your way or something if I were to see your blonde head lurking around the joint. Yes, I would drill a hole in your head if you tried anything. So, best stay well away from Brightstone on Christmas or else your arse is grass. Poor Alyssa? She should be the happiest person in the world after she knows how much time and effort that I put into this thing. I just hope that it turns out to the best thing in my life. Possibly even better than when I first laid eyes on her.

My dad is almost emotionless at times. He is so quiet, but he has a good reason to be though. I don't blame him for being awkward about the whole thing. I am his only son, growing up and falling in love. Who would have thought? Whenever he gets the day off, and when your sister has a break from school, I can have them meet in a restaurant or something. Dad likes things to be neat and formal. Maybe he is a bit OCD. I doubt he was not...not approve of her. There is no reason to! I won't tell her anything, I promise. Just don't mess with her anymore, man.

I kinda figure that
- Vincent

 

[Xavier Snow]

Vincent,

Geez why do you have to be such a party pooper? I only wanted to see how things ended up for the two of you and you have to go and ruin it for me by saying I can't come even around, things aren't going to be that serious with you will it? I'm pretty sure you won't die if the night goes badly Vincent, she's just some girl so there's absolutely no use getting worked up if it doesn't go right for you that night. Psh like you could catch me if you caught me anyways, you'd be too busy making googly love eyes at my baby sister, which reminds me that I have set to do something or rather say something about this whole topic that every big brother's gotta give. If you make my sister cry or hurt her in any way, I'm gonna have to whoop your arse all over New Zealand because she doesn't deserve that kind of crap now...I'm tired of seeing guys play her. I doubt that you would do anything like that because this seems serious, but just keep that warning in mind if everything works out between you two on Christmas.

I meant poor Alyssa on the lines that she sort of thinks you hate her and if she decides to go with you on New Zealand she'll find out it was something far different than what she thought. I kinda think you broke her heart that day Vincent, she avoids talking about you or being around a conversation that involves you. Our dads sounds really similar man, I think the only difference is that my dad has an aura of coldness and cruelty to him as well I don't think I've ever seen him smile. He can be so scary sometimes when he gets angry, sometimes he's tried to beat us for making foolish mistakes in his presence. Thankfully I don't get to see his wrath as much as Alyssa and Theodore do because of their blood. Having her meet your father someday would sounds really good, especially if you plan to marry her it's important to have your dad and her at least become familiar with one another. I wonder if you falling in love reminds him at all of him and your mother, maybe thats why it's hard to tell what he's thinking, I just hope he'll be okay with her.

If you guys have a kid you should name it after me too...
-Xavier <i></i><i></i>

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Xavier,
You will not be there. But that is what I was waiting for. The brotherly love for his sister. Time is running short, and even sending out letters is becoming more and more troublesome. This guy won’t be playing her, you know me too well, and you know that. Sorry about your dad though. I hope he can learn a thing or two from mine, if they ever met. It probably does remind dad of him and mom, before she passed. Can’t write anymore until my homework lessens though… I’ll talk to you later man!

No, a kid will not be named after you. Middle name…possibly.
