As they were heading back to the school, hand in hand, there was a question burning in the forefront of Jake's mind that he just had to let out.

"Um, Sera," Jake asked, "I've been meaning to talk about it, and this hasn't exactly been a standard date—" Jake started before suddenly being interrupted by Serafall.

Serafall let out a sigh. "Jake," she said calmly, "I'm over 600 years old." Jake sputtered at that number.

"O-oh wow..." was all he could say. He had never really thought about the lifespans of supernatural beings before, and now he was realizing that they may be unaging…

"...and you're 16," she continued. "You're a nice kid, but that's what you are at the moment, a kid." She stated a blatant fact.

Jake suddenly felt a bit dejected. The first girl he ever really liked in his life turned out to be older than the entire country he grew up in. "I guess nothing between us is ever going to hap—" Jake was cut off.

"BUT!" Serafall said excitedly. "When you turn 18, that will be a completely different story, you know!" She winked at him as she said that.

"Wait, really!?" Jake exclaimed. She would go out with him for real once he turned 18!?

Serafall just giggled. "Of course. As devils, and you being a half-devil, we are literally going to live forever unless someone kills us. Because of that, most devils will always end up finding partners in their lives who are younger than them.

That's just how it is for us…" she said with a smile to Jake. "In the meantime, don't go wasting away your youth waiting for me or anything!" she said to him. "Feel free to date other girls, and once you're ready, come back to me, and we'll give it a shot for real!"

"Wait, really!?" Jake exclaimed for the second time. She was actually telling him to go out with other girls! Jake wondered to himself if that statement was a trap. But Serafall just continued speaking to prove it wasn't!

"Of course... you're young, and you should get to experience that, you know. Plus, no other girl you date will ever have this!" Serafall said as she gestured all over her body, emphasizing her curves and amazing...

assets. She giggled a bit as Jake turned his head to the side embarrassed. 'Ah, the innocence of youth…'

The sun was going down, and Jake noticed that he and Serafall had been in the woods a lot longer than he thought. The future couple eventually made it out of the forest and headed back up to the castle just in time for dinner.

However, along the way, they were intercepted by an annoying ponce and his tag-along lackeys…

"Well, well, well, what do we have here!?" Draco Malfoy, with his two overweight bodyguards and his female groupie, stood in Jake and Sera's path. Jake wondered if this guy ever went anywhere without his posse because he hadn't seen it yet.

He wondered if they followed him into the bathroom too…

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Jake said with a sigh. Sera, meanwhile, just rolled her eyes at this blond human teen's bravado. He had some of the lowest magical power she'd ever seen.

He was almost what would be referred to as a squib in their culture, which Serafall figured came from all the magic in his ancestry being diluted, constantly fighting off the effects of inbreeding over countless generations.

"What I want," Malfoy continued angrily, "is to settle the score!" His two overweight bodyguards behind him nodded along, cracking their knuckles in a way they thought looked intimidating.

"That's right!" Draco's pug-faced (maybe girlfriend, Jake wondered) tag-along spoke out. "And you," the girl said, pointing at Serafall, "...you get outta here, you Gryffindor strumpet!

This is between the Yankee and my darling Draco!" Pug-face declared as she latched herself onto Malfoy's arm. The boy himself, instead of looking smug about a girl on his arm, just looked uncomfortable. He didn't want his trophy girl fighting his bottles for him!

Serafall knew she should be mad at being called such a word, but honestly, she had to hold herself back from giggling at the ridiculousness of the situation. Usually, a date would include dinner and a show, but it looked like she was getting the show before dinner right now.

Jake, basically being an American, didn't know what a "strumpet" even was, but he figured it was an insult directed at Serafall from the tone. He didn't like anyone insulting his (future) girl in front of him…

Also, he was afraid Serafall would freeze all these dumb kids solid if they didn't back off. She wouldn't, actually, (not that he knew that) because she was too busy laughing inside.

"You need to keep your dog-faced girlfriend on a leash, Malfoy, before she says something she'll regret!" Jake said. The dog-faced girl, Pansy, snarled at that comment. She hated when people talked about her pug nose!

Malfoy sneered back at Jake. "I like my dog-faced girlfriend just fine where she is, thank you very much!" The moment Malfoy let those words fly, though, he immediately knew he had messed up. He heard sniffling from the girl latched onto his arm and when he glanced at her he saw that she had immediately started crying…

"You... you think I have a dog face too, Draco!?" She asked while sniffling. "Waaah, I hate you!" Pansy yelled and ran away toward the school, still crying.

Draco was now furious at himself, but also mostly at Jake! "That's three times you've crossed me now, you damn yank!" he yelled at Jake.

"Three?" Jake questioned no one in particular...

"First, you cost me 40 house points, then you made me lose 1000 galleons when you didn't die in your challenge! And now you've cost me my girl! I, Draco Malfoy of the Noble and Pure House of Malfoy, hereby demand an honorable wizard's duel between us!

Tonight, in the Great Hall after dinner!" With that, he and his two brutish lackeys spun around and took off back toward the school. Jake presumed Malfoy wanted to go and grovel to his girl for forgiveness…
