"You can go wish that house ghost because I'm leaving." And.. she just turned around and started to make her way back to the common room. Why was he behaving like such an idiot? Because he was one. And, no. She wasn't going to cry. Way to spoil her birthday, Edric.
Edric's jaw dropped to the floor as Evelyn, instead of attacking him as he'd expected, turned around and stormed off.
…
Whaaaaaaaaat?!
But-- but it was a
joke!
Didn't Evs know anything about humour?! Well, maybe he wasn't exactly the world's best comedian either, but. C'mon.
The boy just could never get it right when it came to Evs.
"
Evs! Wait!" The Gryffindor boy chased after her, realizing as he did that he might've
really screwed up this time. Way worse than he ever thought imaginable. As he caught up with the Hufflepuff girl, Edric extended his arm with the intention of taking the girl and holding her back, but then he thought better of it. She might just turn and chop his arm off with a quick spell or something.
Honestly, Evelyn made the mean little boy a little insecure. He never knew what to do with her; what was wrong, what was right, what would make her happy, what would make her mad. He just never knew. He always screwed up, he wasn't sure why he even continued to bother.
"I was-- I'm sorry, okay?" said Edric, hoping Evelyn would at least give him the chance to explain. If she still chose to avoid him, he'd have to let her be. Maybe she'd cool off with time and they could talk then? But he didn't want Evs to leave their friendship forever thinking that he was just a huge jerk who didn't care if he hurt her feelings. "I'm sorry," he repeated, "It was supposed to be a joke, but… Yeah, it wasn't funny. I thought it-- perhaps-- I just don't want to ruin your birthday, Evs. I'm stupid and a jerk, I know, but I'd never do anything to hurt you on purpose."
C'mon, he was mean but he wasn't THAT mean.
