"Vector", Aurora cooly stated.
"Sinestra", Septima returned the greeting in equal measure.
Gulping, I tried to save the situation(myself), "Aurora my lovely, I was just about to greet you, but you know how I get.."
Aurora blazed her eyes at me.
"Shutting up now..."
"No, do tell how you get Tiberius" she said sweetly.
"Ah, distracted! You know how men are, attention to detail is not our forte." Smooth, saved.
"Is that what I am, a detail?"
"He can talk to whoever to whomever he wants, in fact Tiberius was just about to tell me about his latest adventure", Septima interrupted, as I felt a slender hand going to my side.
"Ladies, no need to argue, there's plenty to share-agh" feeling the feminine touch turn to pinching my side, I corrected "I mean, yes Septima."
She smiled smugly, as Aurora on the other side glared at her, then I felt another pinch from my other side...
I like to think that I have rizz, but really it's just me being handsome, rich, and interesting. Ok...that's kind of rizz, but what I mean is that I'm not a player. Women come on to me, scary dominant witches.
I've already resolved to death by Snu Snu.
Meanwhile in the peanut gallery, various Professors sweat dropped, Dumbledore said something about Springtime of Youth... what? Snape snaped... and Hagrid, the gentle giant bro tried to halp.
"Professors Sinestra and Vector, I too would like to hear this tale." For his effort, he recieved two glares, one smoldering and the other icy, respectively.
"On second thought, maybe another time" He said, while turning his head towards Pommena.
I took a look towards one Professor after another, each turning away their heads, except for Snape, he just sneered.
My sides were starting to hurt as misery and joy conflicted.
If this is becoming a thing, I'm gonna develop a dinner PTSD.
Later that evening
Slug Club lounge
After dinner I ran, I mean I sought out my grand uncle at a normal walking speed. We went to his lounge to relax and catch up.
Sighing in contentment, Horace started "I can't thank you enough, I never wished to stop teaching, but I was worried about...nevermind that, and your solution for the DADA jinx, was brilliant if so simple in hindshight."
Raising an eyebrow, I of course knew what he meant by nevermind, he was scared that Dumbledore knew about him telling Tom about horcruxes.
"Yes, Snape is doing quite well teaching Magical Combat(name pending), that ungrateful sob, and you got Potions back, it's a win win."
"Now now, no need to insult a fellow colleague, Severus is a perfectly...", I smirked and Horace huffed, giving up a bad job.
"Moving on, those ladies will be the death of you, you should pick one and marry already" he said, while popping a crystalized pineapple.
Shrugging I said "No doubt, one day a woman will be my end, but not today." Now grinning I finished "And that candy will be the death of you, or maybe grandma and mother will if I tell them."
"You wouldn't tattle on dear uncle, would you?" He said with a shiver.
Women in our lives are scary. Wondering how I got like this, maybe it's the instinct to please/provide for a beautiful potential mate, or was it the fact I was raised by two strict and assertive women, doesn't really matter. It's all harmless roleplay, well mostly.

"Go away you incel ghost!"
He wishes he was me, drowning in pussy, one time literally *cough*.
After getting rid of the pest with sufficient insults, banishment charm would be a bit extreme, uncle Horace continued.
"Fascinating tale that I couldn't help overhear at dinner. You travelled in one of these Muggle Air Balloons? to get around the portkey restriction. Remarkable, but aren't those dangerous?"
"Those would be Zepellins uncle" I said with fond exasperation, "and no, they haven't been around for 50 years. I travelled via airplanes which are much safer and faster, though how something that large and heavy can fly still boggles my mind, even after reading the physics explanation."
For me, getting a portkey is easy, considering my connections and wealth, but some nations put heavy restriction on them, if they even allow them. Good thing I know the ways of the Muggle, hence I have an advantage over other would be Indianas.
"Hmph, on one hand I don't like your fascination with the Muggles, but as a Slytherin, I'm proud of your cunning, and knowledge is knowledge. If only you weren't a Gryffindor, you'd be the perfect heir" Horace sighed while actually "secretly" smilling.
I rolled my eyes at this old rant, yes as any HP fan knows that ironically, Hulfflepuff is the best house, followed by Ravenclaw, but my sense of adventure placed me at the overrated House of Jocks.
Still, people aren't defined by two traits, and I didn't let that affect me.
If this was a wank-fic, I'd be Gryffindor/Slytherin/Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw heir with all the best from each house.
"Better Gryffindor than Slytherin, at least at how it was just a few years ago. Our little clubs are really helping with the inter-house rift. Dumbledore's rule really diminished Hogwarts, it's still not completely overturned and your house has the worst of it. Are you sure you don't want to be House Head?"
Uncle Horace looked down sadly before raising his head determinedly, "It's a travesty what happened to Hogwarts, and especially my house, but we can trust Snape to at least care for his snakes. A two way approach will work best, lest they get too soft with my coddling."
"If you're sure...", we chatted some more, before I went to my room after a long day.
