He grinned at the first of her comments, thinking about how wrong it basicly was. He knew full well he would never say no to her--at least not when it involved something as easily to do as this.
"How could I ever disapoint you?"
He lifted his eyebrows again as they walked down the street, the arcade just coming into view in the distance when she made the next of her comments.
"I think we are having a brilliant day. The weather is great, the butterbeer was better, we are now on the way to an arcade and not to meantion the wonderful company"

“Are you asking me? Then the answer is no, I don’t now how you would disappoint me, but I know you could if you wanted to, though I somehow doubt you would.” She gave him a warm smile. As they were walking their feet fell in time together, “Clip, clip, clip,” their shoes went in perfect unison, “left, right, left, right,” their feet went together. Sethia trusted Payton, she couldn’t explain why, but she did and for once she did not doubt it.
“Thank you, I have to agree…the company is superb,” she flashed another killer smile. They were to almost to the entrance to the arcade, and two minutes later they were at the door and entering. The arcade had a dark section and one with a little more light. In every corner there was a different and exciting game to play, and a few people waiting to play them. “I guess they’re real busy today,” she said as she looked around for a free game station.

He laughed slightly looking around at the crowds. It was pretty crowded here, but then everyone seemed about their age, which would make sense. Arcades did tend to appeal to the youth of society, and Hogwarts definatly contained youth.
"Well, I guess there is no chance of us having any time to ourselves"
He laughed again, then grabbed her hand and started to walk across the room to a came int he corner that had two wizards, one dressed in blue and the other green with the wands out, and flashing words above that said "Double's Duel." The pair that was playing it looked like their game was about over.

“No, I don’t think so,” Sethia said with a smile, before being pulled along behind Payton towards a game in the corner. “They look almost done. You have a good eye Payton,” she told him. “Have you ever played Doubles Duel? I have once, so I basically know what I am doing.” She said between looking at him and the end of the game the other students were playing.
She wondered something, “Why did he want time to themselves?” but she knew she really didn’t care what the reason was, as long as she got to spend time with him.
A pastime she was enjoying very much.

He eyed the game, watching two Gryffindor boys walk away from it, meaning it was there turn to take over. He had never played a wizard video game before, only muggle ones at arcades in London.
"Considering I have never even seen the game before, I think you have a considerible advantage. I think that means you need to show me how to play before we start and bets."

The two Gryffindor boys moved away after their game finished, and now it was Payton and Sethia’s turn to have a go. She walked up and put three knuts in the machine. “You haven’t? Okay, then I’ll show you, I don’t want you to be at a disadvantage,” she said smiling. She put the game on one player mode. “Okay, this is the point of the game. It is just like normal duels like at school, but on this game we work as a team. You have to know your spells of course. As we win, we advance to the next level, and so on till we reach the top, the Dark Wizard duel. Where we face off against the most powerful wizard in the game. Unlike before it is only one against us, not two. Got that?” she asked Payton with a smile. “Watch me.”
Sethia started the game, she did very well in her first match and all the way till level three, before she stopped it. “Got it? Lets play.”

He listened to her description and then watched her play with rather focused attention, trying to truly figure out how to play so he woudln't compleatly mess up the game by the end of it. By the time she had reached the third leven and turned around to ask him if he was ready, he thought he had a pretty good idea and he stepped forward and took hold of the controls.
"As ready as I will ever be"

Sethia gave Payton a smile and put three more nuts in the machine. “Okay, here we go.” The games started off well, Payton and Sethia made a good team, racking up a good number of points before the even reached the third level. “Get him,” she cried out with a laugh as she and Payton battled the wizards on level nine. “Watch it!” she said, as a spell was cast and Payton’s player. Soon they were at level fifteen and things were getting a little hard. “One more level and we face the Dark Wizard. You ready for it?”

Looking down at the screen, which was blinking 'Dark Wizard' he nodded. He had caught on fast enough so now he and Sethia were working like a true team. Luckily after the fifteen previous levels, they had started to pick up on which spells the other tended to do in response.
"Ready I'm not sure about, but we wont know untilw e triy, right?"
He flashed her a bright smile before pressing the button on the game that sent them flying into the next level. blasting them forward to a scene where they could see the image of a dark wizard standing before them, his want raised and started to yell the stunning charm
"Watch out!"

“Yup,” Sethia said as she and Payton prepared to face the “Dark Wizard” of the game. The wizard appeared and began his attack, Payton screamed out for her to watch out. Sethia’s character screamed, “Expelliarmus!” but it was blocked. “Get him Payton!” she cried, half laughing.

He was laughing with her when she told him to get the dark wizard, who had a comicly angry look on his face, his wand raised once again. Of cousre, it could have been a situation for a serious spell, but what was the fun in that? Instead, he took the approch of applying the Slug Curse, causing the dark wizard ti start spitting slugs.

Sethia laughed as Payton cast the Slugs curse on the dark wizard, “Good one Payton,” she said and proceeded to cast the furnunculus spell on him. The wizard was unable to block her spell since he kept spitting out slugs every time he went to talk.

He was still laughing as the wizard tried to react but was still spitting up slugs. He pondered using the disarming charm, but that seemed far too boring, and after a moment he instead used Rictusempra. Tickling seemed much more entertaining.
"Now if only fighting a real dark wixard was this entertaining."

Sethia giggled as Payton cast the tickling charm, Rictusempra, on the dark wizard and he began to shake with laughter. “Yeah, if only,” she said still laughing. “Petrificus Totalus!” she said and the dark wizard froze where he stood.
“One more and we got him,” she said with a smile, “You want to do it?”

He was still laughing at how the fight against the dark wizard had turned into an excuse to use rather entertaining charms instead of searious ones.
"I think I have just the spell..."
He flashed her a bright smile before using Incarcerous, wrapping ropes around the wizard ont he screen.

“Ahhh! We Won!!!” Sethia said laughing, as Payton’s last spell bound the dark wizard and ended the game. She flung her arms around Payton and hugged him, not really realising what she was doing, just acting on instinct.
After a few seconds, she let go and stepped back, “Sorry, sorry,” she apologised. “We won. You play well for someone who has just learned.” She gave him a bright smile, instead of a hug.

The moment her arms went around him instinct kicked in and he returned the gesture. It was only seconds later, when she pulled away and apologized. He managed to smile back at her, and then tried to brush off the hug, which now he was sorry hadn't lasted longer.
"Don't worry about it....heat of the moment right? I guess we just make a good team..."

Sethia was more than a little embarrassed by her action, though she hadn’t minded it, not in the least. “Yeah…heat of the moment.” Sethia smiled, “Yeah we do.” ‘Do you make as good a team with Kiyla,’ she thought and wanted to ask, but didn’t. "Want to play again, or do have something else you want to do?" she asked with a smile.

He was still smiling, using that to cover up any tension that had risen from their hug as he acted as if he was thinking on what they should do next.
"How about we take a walk to Honeydukes? I think I am in need of a fresh bag of beans."
He could have easily played another game, but somehow a change of situation seemed like it might help put the hug out of their minds. No...wait, it was only making him think abot it again. It was a hug, just an innocet hug, it didn't mean anything, but maybe that was why he was thinking about it...maybe he wanted it to.

Sethia smiled back at Payton, why had she done it? Hugged him. Why was it making her nervous? Why was she still thinking about it? She tried to shake it off, but the thought didn’t seem to want to leave her.
“Honeydukes sounds good. I could go for another blood red bean,” she said and then stopped. Sethia’s lips were parted a little, as though she was about to speak. Her eyes were fixed on Payton, on his eyes. She had never really looked at them before, and they captured her.
