VI. The Confession

[pacifist_maoh]

...Yes, Wolfram is my fiance.  Yes, it was an arranged marriage.  No, I'm not going to split it off.  Now please stop asking, because it's getting very awkward to talk about it..........

Are you doing alright, Wolf?  Not so bad here at Hogwarts, is it? :)

Heard you took the art class!  S'great, I remember you doing all those paintings of me back home

Wait. Wait. What?

[pacifist_maoh]

...What?

[redwhiteandhero]

You're engaged? To a guy?

[pacifist_maoh]

...It was arranged.

[lavenderglasses]

Obviously I won't ask about it, as I already know the situation...

But I'll still say that it's completely unfair for you.

[pacifist_maoh]

...It's embarrassing, but it doesn't really upset me. I kinda gave up on raising an objection to it.

[lavenderglasses]

You should still be able to choose for yourself who you're going to marry...

Private

[pacifist_maoh]

...I don't think I'm ready to think about relationships at all anyway.

Maybe I'll love Wolfram, maybe I'll love someone else... but for now, he's a friend, and he's family... and I don't know enough of what love is to say that I love him.

I don't want to lie to him, intentionally or not. I don't want to lie to anyone.

Engaged?! How romantic!

[pacifist_maoh]

Romantic...? Y-yeah... I guess...

[impuresnow]

What?! A fiancee? At 15?

Well....I suppose if you're okay with it, I don't really have the right to complain. After all, it's really none of my business. So, I guess, congratulations?

[pacifist_maoh]

It was arranged for a lot longer than that...

[jealousfiancee]

Hmph, I suppose I'm getting along at this school. It is definitely a lot different from Durmstrangs. I swear that place is just waiting to become a breeding ground for a dark wizard.

Yes, I even managed to complete the homework assignment, despite it almost being late. I noticed that you're still slacking off and not turning in homework on time. Rest assured, I will not let you fail a class. If you like, I could tutor you.

[pacifist_maoh]

T-thanks, Wolf. It's always easier to get work done when you help me. Unlike Günter...

I usually turn it in on time!! ...Just... not usually done...

[jealousfiancee]

Like Professor Ryuzaki's first assignment? I noticed you didn't turn that in at all.

[pacifist_maoh]

...I forgot about it. I did my other homework and I forgot about it.
