He smiled when she thought his name was unique.
"Well thank you, i appreciate the nice comments. It doesnt really mean anything in paricular but in my family the males are always given nicknames. My families history goes way back to even before Hogwart's when magic ran rampant without any boundaries. My nickname is "War Machine". I know it sounds silly and i never use it when addressing myself but it was a name given to me at birth. My dad's nickname is "Forthwind" and my Uncle's is "Stormbringer".
He could see the interested look on her face and felt maybe that was too much to spill out at the moment. He kind of gave a chuckle at her bewilderment. He didnt care if she asked too many questions though, he knew he came from a family bloodline that was not the norm anyway.
Scarlett listened to him and everything sounded not as scary.hey I mean it can't be the end of the world?
"thanks,that helped a lot.I worry about things like that to much.I dread to think what will happen to me when we have to sit our O.W.L's," she said frowning and the pile of homework waiting for her in the dorm.but she just couldn't face it.The now.
She gave a small smile breathing a little as he explained his family's bloodlie.at least it wasn't a stupid question,that's all she needed.to look like an idiot infront of her besties fiancé.
"wow!" she said after being filled in."that's pretty cool!I would totally use the name,I wish I had one." she laughed looking sort of confused.it would be so awesome if she knew her whole bloodline.
"but being a Black is cool too.I have a photo of him in my purse when he was at Hogwarts,not that much older that us." Scarlett pulled up her bag and rummaged through it until she found it and showed him the moving photo.
It shower 4 smiling,waving young men happily posing for a picture unaware what was about to happen in a few years time.
"I always keep that photo with me,it never fails to make me smile." she pushed her purse in her bag again and fished around for something to eat,she could feel her tummy growl.She foundd a bag of sweets and offered some to her new friend.
