Just as Bellona was about to remove the spell over the two of them, Vance has shook her with his words. ”Burn the letter, Bellona. That instruction you should very much follow.”

Bellona's thoughts were right, there was something about the letter than a simple invitation, but what it is- she does not have any idea. "Abernathy... Yes, the same last name as the man who wrote me this letter. I wouldn't be coming up to you if I would have known the right thing to do and obviously burning the letter isn't an option." She stared coldly into his eyes and continued, "Or rather an option that I do not choose because I fear that there is more to this than what meets my eyes. I approached you because you are involved- whether you liked the idea or not. I know... that you know," She continued to meet his stare. Not backing down. The buzzing still covered their conversation while the very few students instantly bolt out of the room once they see the tension building up between the Venator girl and Abernathy boy.

She stood up and slowly knelt in front of Vance, gently taking his arm out of his robes and revealing the metal hand. She softly caressed it as she removed whatever material that Vance used to conceal it. She then looked up to him and gave him a serious look once more, "I am not stupid as the other girls Vance. We all know that, whatever it is- I'm going to uncover it." She placed his hand back to his lap and stood up gracefully then pulled out her wand and removed the charm.

She walked away from the seats but paused and spoke without facing Vance, "I will Abernathy, but I don't when or how." She then continued to walk towards her bedroom, she stopped by to pick Fidus up when she noticed a piece of gum on the floor. She picked it up and looked at it, Muggle brand. Bellona knew it wasn't there earlier when she heard Fidus scratching for something. To whom it belong, she'll find out sooner but at the mean time she placed it on top of one of the side tables and continued to walk away.
