"Maybe you could teach me..?"

He grinned. "You've got to be the only female I've met who likes mornings." Most of the others just hated to get up. Snorting at her jokingly challenging tone, he smirked. "You think you're faster than me?" He was taller than her, so she'd have to run twice as fast to keep up with him.

Didn't she want to talk? He shrugged, not bothered. It was something he was offering out of kindness, if she didn't want to, that was her choice.
Sutton nodded at him with a bright smile. "Yes! Teaching you would probably be best. We'd have to find some other people, though, cuz you can't really play with just two people..." she explained. Maybe she could ask Professor Hadley of they could have Hufflepuff softball game or something? But then... they'd have to ask the Groundskeeper where they could play, too, cuz there wasn't too much flat area at Hogwarts that would actually be big enough for a baseball diamond... except maybe the Quidditch pitch, and she could only imagine the look on Professor Vindictus's face if they turned his beloved Quidditch pitch into a softball diamond.

As he mentioned about girls not liking to wake up in the morning, Sutton couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Well, I'm not really like most girls... in a lot of way..." she said quietly. Shrugging, she continued, "I don't know... I've just always liked the early mornings. It's so... peaceful. Like, everything is just fresh and new..." Mornings were so quiet, and maybe that was what Sutton liked most about them. In those early hours, the worries of the day hadn't set in yet.

Glancing back at him, her face still blushing slightly, her fingers brushed lightly over his arm. "I'd love to hang out in the Common Room and talk all night... with you..." She could feel her shyness creeping up from somewhere near the pit of her stomach.
