❛ you don’t have to go, ❜ emmeline points out. company that isn’t hate fuelled or bursting at the seams about quidditch might be nice. besides, emmeline is a fan of lily, and wouldn’t mind spending some time with her. stretching her leg, she kicks her own bag from the bench and clears some space, then offers the other side of the bench to the redhead. ❛ what’re you reading? ❜ she then asks, a brow lifting as she attempts to read the title. the muggle world, while out of reach of her most days, is quite interesting. she feels no negativity towards those with different blood statuses, allowing her the freedom to express her curiosity in a manner that fosters answers and growth. ❛ don’t worry, i’m not a prick. can’t say the same for anyone that isn’t me, though. ❜

seth shifts uncomfortably. if he’s being honest, he doesn’t know if she cares or not. he has a hard time deciphering the difference between what people say and what they actually mean. the curtain is often too thick for him to see through, and it generally leads to him ignoring these kind of situations altogether. the fear of making a fool of himself has the boy not doing anything, which in turn sometimes leads him to situations like these. clearing his throat, it takes a moment for him to even look at her. what was he supposed to say? it seems that assuming one cares is just as bad as assuming that they don’t. why is there no safe middle ground? he’d honestly pay so much for the ground to swallow him whole right now. ❛ i... don’t know what i should say just now... ❜

❛ see, what you consider crazy, ❜ the gryffindor air quotes with his fingers, ❛ i call genius. it’s all about the perspective, mckinnon. i just so happen to think that i’m bloody fantastic. ❜

there’s arguing going on around adrian, and he couldn’t look more bored. the whole back and forth, the wasted energy on things that don’t matter, it’s beyond him how half the student population can function on a day to day basis. instead of sticking around, he turns on his heels and almost runs into an approaching hufflepuff. ❛ watch where you’re going, smith. my shoes are worth more than your entire wardrobe. ❜
