Vashti might have suggested the optimistic view of "Maybe he is upset over it but you don't know it because you two haven't talked" but honestly... "He doesn't sound like a very good boyfriend." And Vashti did know what a good boyfriend was like. She had one. "Maybe you're better off without." Really, if his head really was as big as Louisa said it was and he cared more about "his glorious self" than making sure things were okay between him and his girlfriend, then he obviously didn't deserve Louisa. Plain and simple.
Vashti wanted to ask what was wrong with a Muggle sixteenth birthday party - she'd had one a couple summers ago, though she wasn't really sure it could be called a "party" if she'd really just hung around her Muggle friends Susan and Thomas for most of the day - but she figured it was probably the "invited people I barely know" part that bothered Louisa the most. Vashti was certain she wouldn't care much for a party if she didn't know anyone at all. "Maybe it's your mother's way of trying to connect with you," she suggested. "Maybe she doesn't want you to forget about her once you are able to move out and live on your own." Most mothers did care about their daughters in some way or form after all, even if they showed it in strange ways.
Louisa frowned, "
Don't say that about him! He's fine. And good." An awkward pause followed this. Was it a confession of something? Definitely not. "
Not that I'm not over him. It's just.. the fact that people think he's the one at fault while in fact it is me." Vashti knew this too. She was the one who warned Louisa about that jealousy play, but of course Louisa had to snap at her best friend and just go ahead with it.
The Ravenclaw cackles humorlessly at Vashti's suggestion. "
Seriously? She sends me to spend the summer at my aunt away from her for four years and then suddenly wants to bond with me?" Pffft. That was the stupidest thing anyone could ever do. Well, her mother might be a stupid person. Louisa didn't really like the woman that much. She then threw herself back on her pillows, "
I think it's more than this. Maybe she received the same letter I did. Someone claiming to be Isaac Carter, my father. And thought it was real and wanted suddenly to keep me from him." Louisa's ramble made her eyes widen as she bolted upward. "
It's a conspiracy!!" Here come her jumping to conclusions. Again.
