Aspen laughed, "Well, if you think that you're going to get too attached to me, maybe we should just stop all of this nonsense right now." She winked and then put her hands on the table, "And yes, you would make every girl jealous. The Garet family has the joy of being one of the most sought after relationships around Hogwarts. I mean, what's more appealing then a beautiful, funny, smart, quick-witted Aspen Garet?" She questioned and drummed her fingers on the table, "Oh that's right...nothing."
She winked and then pushed some of her red hair behind her ear, "Alright, so for appearance's sake of our so called relationship, let's just say that there's this certain American boy who's been hanging a bit too close to me. Grayson Galloway."

Viktor nodded. "Ok...so what do you want me to do about him?" Viktr said cracking his knuckles. "I'm joking bu seriously what should I do? Talk to him? Break him?" Viktor smiled a let out a small laugh.

Apsen laughed and playfully pushed him, "I want you to do whatever you see fit. After all, you are my fake boyfriend, right?" She winked and then crossed her ankles, "He's a nice guy. Just not my cup of tea. Americans can be so....rough around the edges." She mused and looked up at Viktor, "Hopefully if I say that I'm in a relationship with a dashing Russian, he'll drop this whole...Aspen oh Aspen business and we can both continue on our merry ways."

Viktor nodded confirming he understood. "Ok sure I think talking to him will help...so now that we're in a relationship does it not seem appropriate, we go make it known. Maybe go visit Mr. Galloway?" Viktor smiled.

Gray walked into the library, holding a bunch of transfiguration books in his hands. He hadn't really figured out his way around school yet and he still found himself struggling with some of the classes. They weren't nearly this hard at Salem, He thought. Then again, he hadn't really been concerned about doing well....until now. He plopped down at one of the tables near the door and cracked open his books, intent on studying.
Aspen's eyes wandered up and she saw him walk in...Mr. Tall-Dark-American. She breathed a sigh and then looked at Viktor, "Looks like we don't even have to go that far. Look who just walked in. American Gryffindor at three-oclock!" She said and pointed discretely to Gray's back.

Viktor cracked a large smile. "I'm going to go introduce myself...coming?" Viktor pushed back his chair and pushed it back in again and began lumbering towards him. When Viktor was somewhat close to him he said in his thick accent. "Ah hello Mr. Grayson Galloway. Aspen's just been telling me about you haven't you love?"

Aspen felt herself giggle as she stood up and went trailing after Viktor. She stopped at Gray's table and then stared at him as Viktor began talking.
Gray looked up from his book and rubbed his eyes lazily. He didnt recognize the accent straight away, but he could definitely tell that it wasn't British. Great. Another foreigner like him, "Hey...You can just call me Gray. Makes things easier that way...nice to meet you Mr.-" He saw a familiar flash of red hair and smiled, "Hey Aspen...Long time no see! How're you?" He asked with a toothy grin. He had the slightest of crushes on her, and from his actions it was quite obvious.
Aspen smiled, "Yes, Vik. Just telling you about him." She said and smiled at Gray, "I'm lovely." She said simply and flipped some of her hair behind her shoulder.

Viktor smiled. "Viktor...Viktor Pentrenko...Russian.." Viktor watched Gray's face when he looked at Aspen and Viktor's arm wrapped around her waist. "You definitely are lovely!" Viktor's head turned to Aspen and he added. "With me as a boyfriend I bet you do feel lovely!" Vikto turned back to Gray and he said. "So you're new? How's the castle been treating ya'?"

Aspen reached up on her toes to kiss Viktor's cheek and felt herself blush as she did. She was tempted to kiss him again, but a public display of affection might not be her best plan of action at the moment so she remained rooted to the ground and smiled at Gray.
Gray raised his eyebrows as he stared at the pair of them, "So you mean to tell me that you two are....together?" He shifted uncomfortably in his chair and tried to stop staring at Aspen, although he found it quite hard since she had the most perfect-
He stopped himself before he could continue with that thought, "Russian, eh? Never thought I'd meet one of you Soviets." He muttered and forced a smile, "New yes. Castle....confusing as ever. Don't think I'll get used to the moving staircases and appearing Room of Requirement. We have a normal boarding school across the lake." He said and laughed.

Viktor raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know...of course we're together. Did Aspen not tell you?" Viktor turned a looked down towards her. "Well anyway yes we are.." Viktor listen to him for a moment then added. "Well now you've met a Russian...It's a pleasure to meet you too and yeah the moving staircases take awhile to get used to but eventually you just stop noticing them and they seem to take you where you intend to go..." Viktor smiled and looked towards Gray.

Gray's mouth couldn't quite close at he stared at the pair of them. Of course it made sense to him that Aspen would find someone else to be around, she often did. But he had hoped that she might be entranced by his American charm and at least give him a chance. He didn't really hear what Viktor had just said but nodded absentmindedly, never taking his eyes from Aspen.
"I'm sorry darling, I must have forgotten to mention it. Things often slip my mind as you know." Aspen said and pushed herself closed to Viktor, she had the feeling that she was being protected and she rather liked it.
"Aspen but I thought that we were....you know....-" Gray said and tried to smile at her as best he could.

Viktor leaned into Grayson not enough to suggest violence but enough to seem intimidating. "You thought you were what?" Viktor was calm and had a strange sense of almost permanent joy when he said it which somehow didn't seem to undermine his intimidation. Viktor held Aspen close to again help with the appearance that they were in a relationship and because he may or may not of liked having a girl with him.

"Play nice, Viktor." Aspen leaned up and whispered into his ear. Then she smiled at him and her heart gave an involuntary flutter. She felt her brow furrow, she wasn't supposed to feel anything for him, she reminded herself as she stared at his eyes.
"I just thought that-" Grayson tore his eyes away from Aspen who was now staring at Viktor, and looked at the Russian boy as well, "I only thought that we had something going on as well." He stood up and stood his ground in front of Viktor, "I mean, after all, we have been exchanging letters all summer. I think that's more than you can say, Soviet boy." He growled, "She never once mentioned you...just for the record."

Viktor stepped back and stood beside Aspen. "It's ok..clearly just a big misunderstanding right Aspen?" Viktor said as a smile appeared on his face. He really didn't want to push this, even he knew it wouldn't end well for either of them. "Plus are you going to keep calling me Soviet boy? I thought our two nations sorted all that out?"

"Yes. I will continue to call you Soviet Boy." Gray growled and slammed his book shut. He picked up his bag and shoved his transfiguration work into it and slung it over his shoulder, "I'll see you around." He muttered and turned away, "Aspen, we'll need to talk later." He called over his shoulder and then exited the library with a scowl on his face.
"Well that went-" Aspen raised her eyebrows and then looked up at Viktor, "Well....?" She realized that she was still standing eerily close to him and she took a few steps away, embarrassed, "He seemed to take it rather well, considering." She shrugged and rubbed her arms; it had gotten pretty chilly in the library and she had forgot her jacket back in the Slytherin common room.
