So Alyssa stepped up to him and said,"
You have a great way with the little ones. She really played you but you were nice enough to go along with it. My name is Alyssa by the way. Maybe I'll see you in school sometime." She smiled at him and went back to join the group.
Edric's gaze went past Adeline as a slightly older girl came up from behind the younger one. For a brief second there, the Gryffindor boy thought this was Adeline's big sister or something, who had come to his rescue by taking Adeline away with her.
However, that wasn't the case.
Apparently, the newcomer thought he had 'a great way with the little ones' (at this, Edric sent a smirk in Adeline's direction that said
See?! You ARE little!); his jaw dropped when the girl mentioned that Adeline had really 'played' him, before she went on to compliment him on being so… kind and nice for playing along.
Playing along.
Of course, though, both Edric and Adeline knew that he hadn't been 'playing along', he'd really actually been foolish enough to fall for the tricks of the eleven-year-old. However, he wasn't about to go and give himself a bad first impression.
"Oh-- oh, of course! I just… I love the little ones. Anything to make them laugh," he lied with a smile. Mwahahaha. NO ONE was EVER going to know that he'd
really been trolled by a firstie! NO ONE!
"I'm Edric," he added as the girl introduced herself, and nodded as she walked away hoping they'd meet again some time in school. Well, that'd be nice. That was the first girl Edric had met this summer who actually seemed likable - but maybe that was just because she'd praised him and of course the self-centered boy would like that. As Alyssa walked away, Edric turned back to Adeline with a triumphant, malicious grin. "Well, little one… looks like you just turned me into a kind-hearted hero. Thank you," he said.
Bwaaaaaaaaahahaha.
