hold up.
( starter && @slythjisoo ) ; DOUBLE TROUBLE !
it was unusual to see the great hall so devoid of people, quieted chatter from those who remained scattered across the room. most had left to spend the break with their family, something jayden would have been more than happy to do. but no, his parents just had to spend christmas on a fucking couple’s cruise. they even refused to let him house sit, claiming they already a friend doing the job. their house was too much work for a boy like him, too important to leave in the hands of a irresponsible teenage boy (their words, not his) so he reluctantly remained at hogwarts. how exciting.
anyway, he had prepared a special gift for his ever so thoughtful parents - a nice thank you for screwing him over on christmas. the gift sat innocently on one of the tables in the great hall - placed between jayden and jisoo who sat opposite each other. inside the unwrapped box sat a pie so cleverly set to explode upon contact and a few bad chocolate frogs, just to add that extra wow! factor he needed for a real showstopper. just some wrapping paper and a nice little bow and it would be ready to be shipped out - he just needed to brag a bit.
“isn’t it amazing?” shooting his friend a smirk, he gentle taps the box with a finger before waggling his eyebrows. he had told her of his rather childish gift, the gift so childish but yet so amazing. he was a genius. “once they get their stubby little fingers on this pie, they’ll regret leaving me for a stupid cruise. and not letting me house sit, what’s that even about!”
