Yikes, Tori had managed to lose some house points already. What a little rebel. He was afraid that she was going to tell him that the 'Sierra thing' was a long story, and then he'd have to say something like 'well, we have lotsa time,' but she saved him the trouble because she went on to tell it anyway. "Huh. Sounds like a real thief, this Sierra." His eyebrows almost cleared his forehead and a wide, toothy grin spanned over his face when Tori told him about sticking the gum in the girl's hair. In front of that Lafay lady, no less! "Cheers to you! I see the boldness hasn't left you." Not that he expected it to.
He nodded. Bad timing, for sure. "We'll have to be on the lookout for her, though. She's probably gonna try to get you back."
Tori laughed at Paulie's expression. "Doesn't it? I wouldn't know, not being a boy and all..." So she would just have to trust his judgment on that one. Heh. Speaking of mustaches, Tori halted Paulie by grabbing his hand and tugging on it. She pointed wordlessly to the sudden appearance of a fellow Slytherin, who was apparently intent on attaching a mustache to the statue of Barnabas, taking a photo of said mustache, and then leaving without a word.
"HOW WEIRD IS THAT?" the redhead exclaimed the moment her housemate was gone. "HUH? SEE? MUSTACHES!"
Mustaches indeed!
Pulling Paulie closer to the statue for an inspection, Tori nodded about Sierra. "She sure is. She's something else entirely." Thief wasn't enough to describe that brat, but Tori wasn't about to go into mean!mode in front of her favorite Knight.
She glanced from the mustache to Paulie, as if picturing him with one, and then her eyes widened. "You're right!" the Princess gasped. "You'll have to be on extra guard, my Knight! Why, you might even need to sleep outside my dormitory for extra protection!"
Teehee.
