The Ravenclaw just raised her eyes from the book and looked coldly at the girl. It was that annoying firstie she had met on Diagon Alley.
What did she want?
Gwen listened to her talk, even though she would have preferred to continue reading out of Potions élaboré. ‘Is that all?’, she said curtly, eyeing the girl for a moment. Whatever it was that she wanted, Gwen couldn’t figure out. Might as well just ignore her... Gwen just rolled her eyes at the younger student before drawing her attention back to the book.
Instead of waiting to see what the girl would say next, because, let’s face it... Gwendolyn was hoping that she would go away, the Ravvie continued reading.
The Slytherin could just go back to throwing coins in the fountain.
Well Gwennie didn't want to talk then, did she? She raised her eyes to see who it was and kept to her book. Well, it was to be expected. Last time they had met at least it hadn't been her fault then. The silly Ravenclaw had been mean about throwing coins in the fountain. Serenity knew she was a good few years older than her and almost definately must know some kind of an spell that could bring all the coins out of the fountain, so it was win-win for her right?
Gwen just kept reading and finally asked, in an accusatory tone, if that was all. Serenity sighed. Out of her somewhat more filled left-hand side pocket, she pulled out a few pennies; knuts and a sickle. She'd be saving the sickle, could probably get something decent with that. Serenity was bored of talking to older people. They all got annoyed really easily. And none of them liked first-years either. Whatever.
Serenity chose the least-shiny knut, which in her opinion was worth the most, seeing as it was the oldest. She could trace the little letters with her finger; 2054, about twenty years ago now. Serenity could imagine all the people who'd had this. What they'd bought with it? Stuff like that. And also what happened to all the previous owners? Some of them would have died she could guess. She rolled the little coin to Gwen. Well, in her general direction. Perhaps she would enjoy throwing coins in the fountain if she tried it. Maybe she was like that muggle saying, something about burning money. Well if she wanted she could spend it on something. Not that there was a lot that could be bought for a knut. Serenity shrugged.
"Whatever. You can have it. That's all." It would be the extent of her goodwill gesture. She had tried being nice earlier. Apparently to anyone over first-year, Hogwarts grounds were for silent reading, and NO talking. Great.
