Kapitel 68: Trick 67: Dumping your emotional trauma on your Apprentice
The Yule Ball was held.
Ace was sitting at a table in a completely black three piece suit. He even wore dress shoes and slicked his hair back. He was sitting alone as he watched the students walk in with their dates.
Everyone was clapping as the 4 Champions walked in with their dates.
Ace clapped, his expression a bit ugly, he looked at Hermione and smiled as she looked over. He raised a glass and she smiled happily, starting to dance with Krum. Ace put down the cup and returned to his bad look.
The rest of the students started joining them as well as Professors, leaving very few people still sitting.
Ace was sitting and smoking while Moody was drinking by himself. Ace looked over and said "What are you drinking, Moody." Moody looked at him and grinned "It ain't pumpkin juice. Want some?"
Ace's mouth twitched and he said "Sure." Moody took a different bottle, pouring a glass and waving it to Ace. The cup floated over and Ace drank it before shivering all over and spitting out his tongue, "UGH! What the fuck!"
Moody laughed and giggled, "That'll put some hair on yer chest, boy! Hahahaha!" Ace coughed and wiped his lips with a napkin, asking "What in the fuck is that!?" Moody grinned and replied "They call it Dragon Breath! The strongest Whiskey brewed with Dragon's blood! Hahaha!"
Ace retched, replying "Oh god, I hate whiskey!" as he drank the rest in one shot. Moody clapped and said "There ya go, boy! Hahaha! Drink like a real man!" Ace licked his lips and made a disgusted face, saying "Another."
He paused before smashing the glass on the ground.
Moody was stunned before laughing, pouring Ace another glass. Minerva looked over at Ace smashing glasses and drinking, she cursed "Merlin's beard!" as she walked over, asking "What is the meaning of this?!"
Ace looked at her and smiled "In Asgard they drink like this." Minerva was stunned, "Asgard???" Ace chuckled and Moody poured him another drink, saying "Off with ye, Minerva. We're drinkin' here! Merlin knows this is borin' me to tears!"
As he drank a glass himself, shivering as he let out a satisfied breath.
Minerva pointed at Moody, saying "Alastor! If something happens to Ace, you will not hear the end of it!" before turning to Ace, adding "I expect better from you! No more 'Asgard Traditions'!" as she stormed off.
Ace blew a raspberry as Moody laughed, pouring more glasses.
A while later
Ace and Moody were holding each other's shoulder singing "And my fair lady, she was a wench~ But it didn't stop me~" Fred, George, a few kids from Durmstrang, one lady from Beauxbaton, and Flitwick sang along while laughing "I loved her, my fair lady~ But so did my neighbor~!"
Ace slapped the table and laughed "Another round!" his cheeks rosy, a blush across his face, completely inebriated. Moody poured out a glass for everyone and sang "Again!" as the table drank and sang until one of the Durmstang boys passed out, falling off his chair.
Ace laughed and Moody shouted "One down! Hahhaha!" Fred swayed and pointed at the Durmstrang boys, laughing "Couldn't handle your liquor, eh Bulgarians? Just like the World Cup!" before falling backwards and passing out.
The Durmstrang boys laughed and slapped the table, speaking in Bulgarian "Silly boy! We drink for breakfast!" before passing out, smashing into the table face first.
Ace laughed and stood up, swaying "Hm. Where's the bathroom?" Moody joked, "The Bulgarians seem to think they're wearing it! BAHAHAHA!" as he slapped the table, Flitwick spit out his drink and laughed, slapping the table.
Meanwhile, the girl from Beauxbaton, burped and covered her mouth, saying "Oh, mon dieu. Je m'excuse." however, she seemed to be handling her liquor quite well! The best out of everyone.
George leaned on the table and asked "How are you so good at drinking, lady?" the girl replied with a french accent, "I drink quite a bit, Monsieur George." George chuckled and replied "Is that the only thing you do good?"
The lady giggled and looked at him, replying "Non~"
Ace walked away, humming to himself as he left the Great Hall. He heard Hermione shouting and turned his head to see her sit down on the stairs, crying. He clicked his tongue and swayed over, plopping down next to her, saying "Nothing worse than a crying bride, what's wrong my cute little apprentice?"
He laid down and rested his head on his arm as Hermione cried, "Ronald, he-" Ace patted her shoulder, saying "Hermione. Don't worry about it, man. You're like 12, you have so much life to live."
He opened his eyes groggily, continuing "People will come in and out of your life…" he stared at the ceiling and paused for a second before chuckling "Some leave more of a mark than others…"
He took his arm back and rested his head on the steps, adding "A really huge, gigantic mark…" Hermione wiped her eyes and turned to see tears escaping Ace's eyes, she asked while sniffling "Are you okay?" Ace chuckled, "No. Everything hurts."
Hermione blinked and Ace asked "Why is it raining inside, how magical." Hermione grabbed Ace's face and asked sadly "Why are you crying, Teacher?" Ace touched his eyes and said in surprise "I'm crying? Wow. That's new."
He grabbed Hermione's arm, saying "You know, Teacher used to have a girlfriend." Hermione stayed silent and Ace continued with a smile, giggling "She was so great, I really loved her. I think about her all the time!"
Hermione said "Teacher, I think you're drunk." Ace ignored her, continuing "And then she betrayed me. It turns out she was a spy! Can you believe it? Everything was so fake but it felt so real, you know! And I thought she loved me but I guess it was fake too! Wow…"
Hermione was stunned and Ace laughed "That was 4 years ago, I wonder what she's doing now… I hope she's okay. Hermione!" as he grabbed her arm, asking "Do you think she misses me?"
Hermione made a complicated face, replying "Yeah, Teacher is so kind. Of course she does." Ace smiled happily, laying back on the stairs, "Haha! I don't think so… But I hope so! Hahaha…" as he closed his eyes, falling asleep instantly.
Hermione sighed and waved her wand, picking Ace up and walking away.
