"Hey, are you--" But she stopped mid sentence. Now, a wide grin spread on Ruby's face, for the choking had cleared his face and she could clearly see who it was and why he was so scared.
"YOU!" She screamed and then laughed while he sputtered for breath and then took a gulp of water. But what was his name?? Brandon? No. Bride? Hehe, *snort* No. ...Braeden! That was it! The goofball who loved the marshmallows and...and almost stole her camera! Oh, she was very pleased to see him, very pleased indeed.
"Lovely to see you here, Goof. Perfect timing, too, cause I have something I want to show you," She said in a low voice, a malicious grin still on her face.
Braeden cringed and cowered in his seat, suddenly seeming to shrink in size, as Ruby screamed out and laughed in that frighteningly hysterical way that always gave the poor Gryffindor boy goosebumps. Merlin, she was scary. The giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest seemed cute and cuddly compared to her!
Poor Brae was at a loss for words; what was he supposed to say?! He couldn't just say 'Oh hey, how are you?' since they weren't friends; however, he couldn't be mean either 'cause he didn't want to die. So he just remained silent, too shocked to speak as his large brown eyes merely stared at the girl before him as if she was a dementor who had just escaped from Azkaban just to haunt him.
And then she spoke again.
Oh?
Something to show him?
At this, a bit of Braeden's horror and fear seemed to disappear as a spark of curiosity suddenly seemed to brighten up his brown eyes. However, at the same time, he was wary. This was Ruby he was dealing with here; whatever she wanted to show him was probably going to give him a heart attack. Why else would she want him to see it?!
"Wha--what are you talking about?" asked the boy, his voice slightly cracked after that little choking episode. "What'd you do?" he asked. Yeah, 'cause whatever Ruby wanted to show him was definitely the result of her doing something. And something bad.
