Closed Lost in Translation

[Felix Carnahan]

Felix was looking forward to getting to hang out with Giulia some more. He knew the language barrier between them cause trouble sometimes but he was always more than happy to work through it. She always recommended him the best books and even helped him study when it came to anything other than transfiguration. He had offered her English lessons on a whim and was a little surprised she had taken him up on it. But he was happy to help. He found a secluded spot in the library so they could talk quietly without bothering anyone. Felix drummed his fingers on the table as he waited for her to show up. Thankfully he didn't have to wait long and he waved his hands in the air when he spotted her. "Hey! Over here!" he yelled in a whisper so he could get her attention with out getting yelled at by any of the librarians.

 

[Giulia Alcott]

Giulia didn't think she had ever felt such profound butterflies in her stomach. Felix Carnahan had offered to teach her English. After three and a half years in Aotearoa she felt like she was finally finding her feet, but lessons never hurt, and one on one time with Felix definitely never hurt. The butterflies only grew stronger as Felix acknowledged her, waving for her. Trying not to focus too hard on how it would feel if he was calling for her as his girlfriend, Giulia gave what she hoped was a normal smile as she sat down across from him. "Hi!" She whispered, hands clasped in front of her on the table, trying to be normal. Normal. "Thank you so much for the lessons, it is very kind of you."

Felix grinned. "Don't sweat it." he said and pulled out their herbology textbook. He figured that one would have the biggest had hardest to understand words. "You're the one who came to a school with out knowing the language very well." he said impressed. Every time he thought about it he was shocked all over again. To him it sounded like a nightmare he would have during exam week so he could only imagine what it was like for her. But he had to admit her English had gotten a lot better since they had first meet during first year. "So I figured we could go over the herbology readying together?" he suggested since it would be killing two birds with one stone in a way. "Unless there was something else you need help with." he shrugged.
