"NO!" he added, this time his own voice raising slightly -- either from frustration, anger towards her, or simply because -- he truly didn't want her upset with him. WHY he didn't want her upset with him was something not registering on his mindset at the moment. "No, it wasn't my intention to make you feel like an idiot, and I'M SORRY you were at the parlour by yourself! --"
Of course he had an owl, but Damien started to attempt and recap what had happened over the holiday to make him miss his meeting with Daisy. Was he in Ireland at the time? It'd be terrible if he were staying at the Leaky Cauldron and simply FORGOT to meet her -- yes, that'd be incredibly horrible, and he really didn't deserve her friendship if that were the case.
If she considered him a friend in the first place, that is.
He heaved a heavy sigh then, rubbing the back of his head (where a nice bump was now forming, thank you very much). "Daisy," he said, his voice back to it's low, normal volume. "Daisy, I'm really sorry," eyes begining to search hers. "I know it's no excuse, but I honestly can't remember too much of what happened over the Holiday -- it was all a blur, and all of a sudden we're back at school again and --" he sighed once more, eyes cast to the cobblestone of the courtyard, his feet taking a couple tentative steps in her direction.
" -- I'm sorry. Sorry? Well, that was - - something.
Daisy’s mouth opened and closed a few times like a cod fish as she tried to find something else to yell at him for while his sad puppy dog eyes pored into hers. She suddenly was done yelling. It’s amazing what an apology can do.
“Well,” she uncrossed her arms, placing her hands on her hips. “Apology accepted.” Pause. “Just don’t do it again.”
For the first time since seeing him, she gave him a good look over. He did look rather miserable; tired even, with bags under his eyes and his hair a bit askew. She knew it was more than just her whack with the book. “You look like a hippogriff ran you over. Did one?”
Astrid, sensing that the danger had ended, crawled out from behind Daisy's ear and settled back onto her shoulder, ignoring Damien.
