She seemed nice enough. “Well tha' ain' nice.” He mumbled. “I could 'av a word wiff em if you like. Give 'em a piece of me mind.” And, boy, would he. He smiled a bit and nodded when asked if he was pleased with being a Gryffindor. “Yeah. Very. Freddie fought I woz gonna be a Snake. Lost a bet. Now 'e owes me twenny quid.” *grin* “You like it, I take it?”
Oh, she was a third year too! Well that was nice. His ma would be proud of him making friends so quickly with someone his own age. The people he hung around with at home always tended to be older and his ma worried he was influenced by his older peers. Emily? That was a pretty name. “I'm Tom Broadmoor.” He introduced himself. “Bu' me mates back 'ome call me Broadmoor.”
Cos it sounded well 'ard.
Innit.
Aw. She liked this kid. He was cool. And would actually put up with her, which was probably something short of a miracle.
"Aw, that's sweet of you. But it dosn't matter. It was back in me first year anyway, and I'm used to people being mean. I used to be bullied at my old muggle school, I just shrug it off now."
Gosh, she hadn't thought about that in ages. She'd buried those memories long ago, never to be brought up again. But thinking about it now... she was alright with it. It was years ago, in the past.
She grinned at his next words.
"Ha! Well done. My sister was a Gryffindor and I so wanted to be like her. That's why I was so hoping to be a lion." And she was... Yey!
Should she have said her last name as well? Ah. She smiled at
Broadmoor wondering if she could call him that, or just Tom?
"Well it's nice to meet you Broadmoor. Or Tom. Which would you like me to call you?" Just so she was clear.
"So did you go to a muggle school before here?" she asked pulling her legs up on the chair as well. She was tired, but still full of energy... if that made sence.
Probably not
