A little piece of him, though, wondered what he'd do - today, tomorrow, next week - to ruin it. An itty bitty voice in the back of his mind told him that even if he could make friends, he couldn't keep them. He shook it off, though, deciding that he would savor this conversation, even if it blew up later.
He laughed when she said she couldn't remember but waved his hands at her when she said she could go. "Oh, no no no no," he said, hoping she wouldn't get up. "I don't want you to go. I just didn't want to keep from somewhere you needed to be."
Emrys shifted his body so that he faced her, one shoulder against the wall and his legs bent at the knee. "So, Prefect," he said exaggeratedly. "Tell me something I don't know about Hogwarts that I should."
"
Oh," she laughed, crossing her legs and sitting up a little straighter. "
I don't need to be anywhere right now. I was just going to do some studying." Somewhere. Just where that somewhere had been was a little beyond her. Maybe the lake. She did like sitting out there under her favorite tree. Although...the lake sort of brought back some awkward memories now too.
Like...really awkward ones.
Kurumi winced when he called her prefect. She really should be used to the title now, especially considering that this was her second term. She just wasn't good with titles. They made her feel awkward and self conscious, even when they came from professors. Kurumi wrinkled her face slightly, but tried to cover this up by chewing on her lower lip and trying to make her face look pensive. Probably not very convincing, but oh well. "
Um...well...it it rumored to have a hidden swimming pool," she mused. "
And I don't mean the moat down in the Chamber of Secrets."
