Hmm… I haven’t noticed that ‘till you mentioned he wasn’t here. ’I have no idea’ And- for your information don’t even care! ‘If he were here, he would certainly be on my nerves and I would have noticed. So there- maybe we won’t ever see him!’ Oh yey! Such good news!
Gulp- the Quidditch team. ‘I thought a lot about it, but I’m still unsure. I mean, I have practiced a lot lately, so I guess I would get on the team if I really want to. Point is- I don’t really want to’ Oh my! ‘You see- if I refuse to go, then someone else will get that position’ And yes, I mean someone dumber than me. ‘So that’s goinbg to be bad for Ravenclaw… but then again- if I do get on the team, and don’t give up..errr… if Ravenclaw looses because of me, I don’t think I could stand it’
‘And also, I’m not even counting on what my parents want…’ Wow- that came out wrong. ‘… when it comes to Quidditch, I mean’ They already told me they would support my decision. ‘What do you think I should do?’, the girl asked her bestie.
‘I don’t know’, Gwen admitted. Yup, there were several reasons stopping her to go to Egypt. One- her dad would be so busy, he wouldn’t have the time to show her around, but wouldn’t let her go exploring on her own. Two-skipping school might not be so easy. ‘I still need to talk to my parents about it. Mom is going there as well for a while…I think. But they will be for sure at home for Christmas’ But- back to Egypt for a second- ‘Umm- Ari? If I were to go to Egypt- wouldn’t you like to join me?’ Gwen knew Ari was fond of all the history stuff no one else cared of, and also- her parents wouldn’t mind at all.
Oooh, that owl- and when I’m thinking that tomorrow I’ll be getting my Daily Prophet from that creature. Grrr. ‘Pluto?’ That lazy cat?! Well, Jinx wasn’t much of a sportsmn either- but he could move. ‘What- he’s gonna scare it with his uglyness?’ That cat was really hideous….’But you know- it’s not a bad idea’ Considering the fact that I thought of it first!
'That was...tame. I for one thought you'd suggest that he was eaten by the Giant Squid or something.' Ari chuckled, realizing that she wasn't the only one to grow up over the summer.
'You don't care.' she repeated.
'They say indifference is worse than hate, so it must mean you're much more mature now. Me, on the other hand...I just know I miss your banter.' It was so funny to watch Gwen and William fighting.
'Well...your house is important, but I think you should do what YOU want. Not anyone else in Ravenclaw. Not your parents. Not me.' Didn't that sound too much like a politician's answer? Maybe Ari resembled her father more than she thought.
'But hang on. I don't think I've ever seen you play. Can you show me one of these days?' the Gryffindor girl suggested.
Ari's eyes grew like saucers when Gwen casually invited her to Egypt. That, coupled with a Cheshire cat smile, made the girl look downright freaky.
'Wow! I would love that! But your parents must be sick of me already,...' she trailed off, trying to avoid intruding in all the Greenes' family moments. On the other hand, she did find Ancient Egypt fascinating.
'You can read my copy tomorrow. Better that, than a bite.' Ari offered, embarrassed that Gwen was doing much more for her than the other way around.
'Hey, Pluto's not ugly. He's just...not like other cats.' The girl's indignated reaction would've been scary if she had kept her laughter in check. No such thing happened.
