chapter twenty-one;
the beginning of operation AF
THE RAIN trickled against the window. Aven sat on the bay window, reading one of her favorite books. The sound of the rain falling down made peace with her soul. Thunder rumbling in the distance made her jump from surprise resulting her to laugh at herself.
It has been months since she last had an alone time. So it felt nice to be alone again. It's not that she doesn't like being surrounded by her friends, it's just that every once in a while Aven needed to be alone.
Being alone made her overthink about her feelings. The fact that she couldn't keep Sirius away from her mind was scaring her. But obviously, she won't stop denying her feelings and obliviousness.
"Hey V, so tomorrow during potions Frank and Alice are going to sit together and from there they will talk and- are you okay?"
"I'm great, Siri" Aven smiled, even though her alone time just got interrupted she didn't really mind
"Well, alright then" Sirius shrugged
"What's the plan again?" Aven asked sitting up as she watched Sirius laying down on her bed
"Well, because you usually sits next to Alice and Frank usually sits alone, i'll sit next to you and the others would fill the seats, so then Alice can only sit next to Frank" Sirius explained
"That will work and who knows, maybe Slughorn would tell us to do something with our seat mate and then the two of them would have to talk to each other and they would fall in love and they will confess their love, i'm rambling aren't i?" Aven rambled
"Yeah" Sirius chuckled
"But it's true, they'll fall in love and we would be their priest at their wedding, since obviously we were the ones who conceived their love" Sirius imagined
"Our imagination is way ahead reality hug?" Aven laughed and Sirius just nodded agreeing with her
"Oh shit i forgot about something" Aven cursed at herself before running to her trunks
"What is it?" Sirius sat up curiously
"Well during the break i got bored and i decided to.." Aven trailed off to grab the stuff that she wanted to show Sirius
"To knit you lot some sweaters" Aven continued showing Sirius her collection of knitted sweaters
"Merlin Ave, that looks amazing" Sirius said looking at the sweaters in awe
The sweaters that she made was basically just a basic sweater but one thing that made it special is that every sweater has an embroidery that represents each person. For example there's a black dog and the word princesa embroidered onto the corner of Sirius's sweater.
"Thankyou for this my king" Sirius bowed down
"You're welcome princesa" Aven laughed

"Ah the lovebirds decided to join us" Marlene joked watching Aven and Sirius walking down
"Fuck off Marls" Aven flipped her off and Marlene just blew her a kiss
"Siri where did you get your sweater from it looks amazing" James gasped in awe
"The amazing Aven Celestia Cross made it herself and she only made it for me because i'm special" Sirius smirked proudly
"Oh shove off, Siri" Aven chuckled pushing Sirius before summoning the sweaters that she made
"I made it for all of you" Aven said giving each of them their sweater
"Holy shit you made this ?" Sofia asked in disbelief
"Yes" Aven replied
"Merlin, i love it" Lily stared at her sweater in awe
"It's so soft" Alice said rubbing her face into the sweater
"This looks amazing Ave" Dorcas complemented and the others agreed
"How the fuck did you manage to make this so fast?" Remus asked
"I just got bored"
"You're bored you go to sleep Ave, not that i'm complaining though, this looks beautiful" Peter said and Aven just laughed at him
They all quickly put the sweater on they loved it.
"THANKYOU AVE" they all thanked Aven
"No problem but you don't need to scream" Aven touched her ear pretending that it hurts her

"Sorry Aly, guess you have to sit next to Frank now" Sirius quickly slides down next to Aven
Alice just stared at the two of them before flickering her eyes at Frank, then the others who avoided her gaze.
"Oh i see what's going on" Alice shook her head
"It's never going to happen" Alice said in a singing tone before sitting next to Frank
"We'll see about that" Aven smirked
"Alright class, as for today you and your seat mate are going to make Everlasting Elixirs" Slughorn explained, Aven and Sirius gave each other a high five and Aven smirked at Alice who just shook her head at Aven
"Operation AF are totally going to work" Sirius mumbled and Aven nodded agreeing with him
