Raising an eyebrow he shook his head, "Nope not a clue," he said teasingly. "Of course I know how to get out of here. I did walk down here." She had so much faith in his skills.
He laughed at her attempt to diplomatically tell him no it wasn't cool without actually saying that. Before he could hold his arm up for her to grab she had already linked their arms and he laughed again. "I've got you. No worries," he said glancing at her and seeing the look on her face. Her eyes were so blue.... He pulled his eyes away from hers and smiled, "Of course I'm paying. I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't going to pay."
Guiding her to the door he held it open and smiled. "We'll go eat some ice cream and go find your mum in that order." And he had a lovely new female friend. Well much better than the end of last term that was for sure. "What's your favourite flavour?"
Dory. She giggled.
"Most people do. Not very creative, are you?" She'd had Bubbles and 'the girl that dumped her boyfriend because he wouldn't get married' and Sparkles and Barbie.. but Dory was practically Dorie which was practically Dora. But she didn't mind. She kind of liked it. She beamed at the compliment.
"Kind of exotic? Ooh. I like it." She giggled.
"The gravelly voice is hot," She mused with a cheeky smile.
Her jaw literally dropped when he said he didn't and she was about to start crying when he spoke and she breathed out in relief.
"Lawdy, Ivan, you scared the living bejesus out of me! I'm really scared and you're making a laugh." She pouted at him reproachfully.
"Meaniemoo," She mumbled, pinching him in the arm lightly.
When he laughed, effectively catching her out, she flushed a magenta colour and looked down at her feet.
"They're not too bad," She tried. She smiled despite herself and clutched a little tighter. He was HERO!man. For the moment. These boys around Diagon Alley were adorably handsome and incredibly eager to save you from
peril. Whether that be a graze or getting lost in a creepy place.
She beamed.
"Wonderful, Batman." She clapped her hands together and smiled.
"I spent my last galleons on a pair of shoes." Whoopsies.
And he was a gentleman! Dora squealed internally. These English boys were
incredible. *giggle*
"Fairy floss." NOM.
