"But you can call me Terry, I don't mind. That's what everyone else calls me" And Turtle was kind of reserved by his twin. If anyone else called him that and she found out, she'd get really angry and angry!Tilly was scary! "That's a long name" he stared. "But Bliss it is" the boy grinned. Bliss was a cool name, unusual but that's what made it cool!
Terry couldn't help but blush at her statement, the colour creeping up to his cheeks. He didn't think he was that awesome and for someone he had only just met to say that made his day. "Thanks. Will you be my friend?" he asked directly. Well there was nothing like just asking outright. "I like Care of Magical Creatures. My mum used to be the Magical Creatures Department Head at the Ministry. But she had to leave a couple of years ago. I've always grown up around creatures." He hadn't had much exposure to the other subjects so he couldn't really respond about that. "What about you?" he asked.
That's interesting, Bliss thought to herself. Her two brothers and two sister didn't call her anything. Tell a lie, actually her two year old sister calls her LiLi (said LieLie), but that's because she's currently finding it hard to pronounce S's. And in turn she decided to call Tia, TiTi (that's pronounced TieTie).
"That's cool," Bliss said and grinned, it was always nice when siblings had things in..common? Maybe one day she'd think of a cool nickname for Terry, that wasn't Terry. Maybe.
"Yes, it is," Bliss agreed,
"but everyone in my family has long names. One of my sister's is called Tianna Lily Rose Ryans," she explained to Terry and grinned.
Bliss smiled and watched as Terry's cheeks went slightly pink.
Aww.
"You're welcome," Bliss said and then positively beamed at him.
"I'd love to be your friend," she told him,
"Will you be my friend?" She asked hopefully, raising an eyebrow at him. Oooh, this boy liked Care of Magical Creatures too?
"Wow, she did? That's cool!" Bliss exclaimed.
"My older sister owns an animal sanctuary that used to belong to my Grandmother, so I've grown up around animals too," Bliss explained to Terry.
"So yeah, I like Care of Magical Creatures, but I also like Potions." She finished and smiled at her new friend.
