Would saying 'the heel of them even look like his underwear, too!' be too much? Probably. She decided to save sharing that bit of information with someone who KNEW what the 'S' was for.
She nodded nervously, realising she didn't have much else to add to that bit of the conversation, then looked around. The queue seemed to have moved on a bit. THE ORANGE JUICE IS NEARLY HERS!
Aurora looked at Delilah for a second, wondering if she should say anything. Well, something made her trust the girl...
"Just... people and drama and boys and... well... things are going to be a bit... awkward." she said, probably making little, if any, sense.
"Also... OWLs." And that needed no further explanation - anyone looking forward to exams was an idiot.
"Superman! I know about him! He's the one who can't go near... Kr... Kryptonite?" She remembered that one because it reminded her of her brother. She'd called him Kryspinite for
ages after she'd found out about that. Though to be honest, she'd never actually watched anything to do with Superman... or read any of the comics. Hmm...
OOH! The queue was moving. Aurora's stomach rumbled.
"I am so hungry..." she said.
"Um, Delilah, do you know how to use this muggle money?" she asked quietly, looking down at the two notes and the silly coins in her hand.
