Short end of the stick? Vivi turned her head as the Head Girl picked up the book, her eyes on the pile of books and parchments on her own bed. "I suppose you could say that."
What book was it that the Head Girl found so much more interesting than their conversation? Vivi leaned over and attempted to read the cover as she answered. "I take care of them all." If she couldn't be good and generous, then Vivi stood between her family and the world so that they could continue to be those things.
It was interesting the way that Louisa mentally framed the meeting with her father, and Vivi tried very hard not to look at the girl, doubly hard because she was still trying to see the book. "And you'll never see him again? Or do you want to get to know him better?"
Now She has the book.. and nooooow she doesn't.
Blink. Louisa let Vivi pull the book closer to her and watched the blonde trying to figure out what it is as she talked. "
I like your family." She said honestly. "
I actually like all magical families, purebloods. No complication, no bitterness, no trying to understand what the heck is a Wizengamot." Chuckling humorlessly she went on, "
Stable. Would you introduce me to your sister, Fee?" Just to compare those two twin sisters and do the usual personality analysis that Louisa does to everyone.
And geez, the girl was insistent! The Head Girl closed the book, marking her page with her thumb, and pointed at the cover. "
Unspeakable Cults. It's not a school book, I borrowed it from the library." There, happy? Anyways, what was she saying? Oh right. "
No, of course I won't be seeing him again. Why the heck should I? I have my mother. And stepdad and two brothers. I'm content." She didn't care about her mom and stepdad since they think she's a witch (in the muggle definition) but she'd give her life for her two younger brothers. Even if Daniel kept stealing her stuff.
After a short pause, Louisa gave Vivi a crooked smile, "
You're not going back to your bed, are you?" Considering the fact that it was much more warmer sitting in bed with someone, the answer was clear. "
Just don't hog the blankets." Cue a subtle tug at her own.
