His arms weren't too happy with him. But… Braeden was a Gryffindor, which made him incredibly stubborn and proud. He was not going to let her carry a single book! He'd do it even if his arms fell off his torso. Which he hoped wouldn't happen…
"That's alright, I can handle it," assured the boy with a confident nod, his expression lighting up with another of his goofy smiles. "Either way, should anything happen, I can count on Ava the Valiant to rescue me, right?" he asked, raising an eyebrow slightly at the girl, obviously just kidding. Sort of. No, she would really save him, right? She'd saved him once…
"There is one thing you could help me with, though," said the boy as he turned his gaze away from the girl at his side and took a look at their surroundings. "Mind telling me where we're headed?" he asked with a soft chuckle.
Ava Jade
the Valiant burst out laughing at his question as well as his raised eyebrow. "Ohh yes, of course!" she assured him. "You can always count on me to rescue you!" She made a face, then laughed again. Suuure, she could save him...she just needed to work in a little target practice first.
She raised an eyebrow when he said she could help him with something, then laughed when he asked where they were going. "Well anywhere but here is okay with me!" she said. He was a Gryffindor, so they couldn't go to the common room. The library was boring. It was awfully cold outside. Then she remembered their conversation from before the entire get-attacked-by-a-mutant-swamp-monster adventure... "Hey, do you want to show me how Muggle movies work?" she asked. "You don't have to if you don't want...but it might be kind of fun!" She crossed her fingers behind her back, hoping he would say yes. After talking about them earlier, her curiosity was peaked, and when she got curious it was pretty much impossible for her to just forget about it.
