"It's all good now."
Taking her messenger bag from the seat and slipping it across her body, the girl raised her eyebrows at this piece of information. "Your mom knows about Quidditch?" Chuckling quietly, Louisa continued, "I spent Christmas holiday convincing her that my wand was actually a wand not a wooden stick."
... waaaait a minute. O_______o Did he just call her... pretty girl?
Louisa Carter? The annoying overachiever geek?
A thick awkward moment passed before she forced a laugh, "I should get that in writing." She added bitterly, "Someone doesn't even think I'm.." SIGH. "Never mind." She smiled again, "Your mom knows that you're an interesting and nice character, Emrys. I had really fun time attending the game with you. I usually bring a book to not fall asleep."
Emrys returned her bright smile with one of his own. This was turning out to be not so bad. "Yeah. Her brothers all played in school, but she was more into books." He thought about her statment, assuming her mother must be a muggle, but not asking. For all he knew it was a sore spot and he didin't want to make things awkward...
But he apparently had. His smile dropped from his face as he heard the force behind her laugh and the bitter edge. "I.. I'm sorry if I said something wrong." If he'd been thinking, he would have summoned paper and quill and written it down for her... but he was not that suave. He offered the next bit softly. "I think you're great, so whoever doesn't can just go... take a swim with the giant squid."
He paused. "Thanks for putting up with me."
