Harvey? Sounds more like a pet pygmy puff's name. He couldn't imagine this mystery boy being very brave with
that kind of a name.
Fourth year? Going for little girls, HUH!? Creep.
Ravenclaw? Hmph. Some bookworm nerd. Figures. It takes more than just brains to take care of a lady, though.
This is the way Edric's mind worked at that moment. In 2.5 seconds, he'd already made up 3748375 flaws for a boy he didn't even yet know.
"Drown him?!" Edric laughed a cold, wicked laugh. "I'd never do that. Invite him for a swim, yes, but never drown him." Harvey would just accidentally drown on his own during that swim. Eddy would have nothing to do with that… accident.
Edric was being really quiet. Too quiet, perhaps. What was he thinking in the brain of his, anyway? Whatever it was, it couldn't be good. Ella frowned, continuing to look out at the water. She was waiting for whatever negative comment was about to come out of her ogre's mouth, knowing it was only a matter of time.
Squirm. That laugh? That was like a super villain laugh! Ursula and Cruella Deville had NOTHING on Edric. Ella frowned, finally facing him again.
"That's not nice, Edric." Did Harvey even know how to swim? EEP. Ella needed to find this out, yeah? And warn him to stay away from large bodies of water while Edric was still at Hogwarts. That would be wise.
"You don't have to worry about him, anyway. He doen't even like me back." And she couldn't help but sound a little hurt when she revealed this, even though she was trying really hard not to.
