Josey, after the sudden disappearance of her husband, let go of Danni and Sam to give Elliot a good squeeze.
"Hello, Presley, dear, good to see you again, Please, call me Mrs. Josey," she said warmly, completely opposite of the icy vibes her daughter was giving off right now. She then grabbed Sam before the five year old could scamper off, and leaned over to kiss both of her daughter's cheeks.
"Bye, sweetheart, and you too, darling Presley...thank you for the lovely trip you gave Elliot!" she said, and she smiled at the two before apparating away.
Elliot had a quick view of her two little sisters waving franticly at her with their free hands, and they were gone. She was now very alone. Well, besides Presley...
Then it dawned on her..IT WAS PRESLEY'S BIRTHDAY! Ahh! Elliot quickly dropped her bags and began to shake the girl by the shoulders, her iciness evaporated!
"Presley Black! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" she cried, a flush appearing on her cheeks as she was excited! She reached into her pocket and pulled out a neatly wrapped present. The paper was enchanted to change colors from blue to bronze. The ribbon was beautifully tied on top...Elliot had done it herself, too!
"Here...it's not much" Lie. They had been expensive and specially made. "
But here. I hope you like them..." code for: You better like them.
Inside the beautiful package was...a lacy pair of
gloves! what else?
Elliot didn't seem as happy as Presley would have guessed her to be. Her father had come, had he not? She searched the other girls face for a brief second, letting Elliot know she didn't understand the upsetness. But then Elliot's face went cold, devoid of emotion.
Presley seriously loved Elliot's mum. She knew Elliot didn't like her much, but she reminded Presley so much of her own mum. She and Elliot were definitely more alike than they cared to admit.
"Goodbye Mrs. Josey," Presley grinned, remembering to use the name she'd requested.
Elliot was suddenly the picture of friendly, shaking Presley's shoulders. It was like with the dissapearance of her family, her fake act went too, and she became the girl she was in Egypt. Herself.
"You didn't have to get me anything Elliot," Presley said excitedly as she took the wrapped present. She beamed as she noticed the Ravenclaw themed paper, and gently pulled it off, not ripping any of it. It was a pair of the most gorgeous gloves Presley had ever seen before.
"Oh thank you Elliot, they're beautiful!" Presley exclaimed, admiring them.
Then she became serious again, and looked Elliot straight in the eyes.
"Are you okay?" she glanced meaningfully at the spot where Darius had dissapparated. Not that she wanted or expected Elliot to tell her anything about why she was upset, she just wanted to make sure she was going to be okay, and that she would get over this. Not that Presley had been eavesdropping or anything, but Darius had told her she'd never dissapointed him before. That was a really good thing right? It meant that her being a Ravenclaw hadn't upset him as much as she thought it had.
