Truthfully, there was no way for him to be on top of them 24/7 and make sure of it.
Okay, wait, what?! Simon? No, Arya, not that Simon! She did make him chuckle, and the smile widened almost instantly. "Not that Simon. De Simpson. The King." As in the Hufflepuff Chaser that wasn't coming to Hogwarts anymore. The trouble-maker one that was forced to grow up in an instant. That same one.
"I still can't believe he's King now." Much less that he was getting married.
So, he almost understood what Arya's reaction had been, regardless of the fact that she'd mistaken Hogwartians.
"Teasing could mean like too." Sometimes. It did when she was with her Gryffindor. Heh.
"But I don't think you have anything to worry about, they're just little firsties." Who would probably think the thought of liking Treyen in such a way was gross if they were anything like she'd been.
Oh
good. She relaxed again when he said it wasn't that Simon, but after a moment of realization, she looked over at him somewhat alarmed.
"He's so young." Her voice was quiet despite the look on her face, and she had maybe allowed her thoughts to drift, not much though.
He couldn't believe he was king?
"Neither can I." Pause.
"Or that he's getting married." Merlin, she couldn't wrap her mind around it. The kid was younger than they were and already he was getting hitched.
"He can't be too happy about having to take on all of that responsibility.."
