It didn't help that he had gone on to say A LOT of them had great fun. Hmph. Not. Bothered. At. All.
Naturally when the 'Claw began talking about gifts, Elijah's curiosity got the better of him and automatically asked, smirking, "What did you get her?" A completely reasonable question. Elijah would have guessed a book, but the 'Claw had gone on to discuss another interesting book that she had received that they had apparently checked out together. Was that how Ravenclaws made out? By reading books together? They were so strange...
"So does this mean you are a couple now? Who asked who out? Is she as bossy when your in a relationship with her?" the bombard of questions began. He wanted to ask other such things like, 'was that her real nose?' and such, but he gathered that now probably wasn't the best of times to go insulting his best friend's new girlfriend.
Eeurghh he just
had to ask didnt he? Of course maybe it was the Ravenerd's fault for mentioning gifts in the first place, but yeah there was a question and now it needed an answer
"I.... wasnt sure what to get her. I mean, its not like she's a total stranger-- she's a good friend and a class partner and we get along great and..." babbling again much?
"-- I got her a gold plated sundial pendant." he blurted out finally.
He looked at Elijah as he raised his hands to his buddy. Yeah hear him out before the future stud muffin starts mocking him
"The invitation said something about.....'gifts not for children' I knew it was Louisa's coming of age party so I got her a timepiece." he shrugged
"Its tradition to give someone a watch at their coming of age right? And a sundial pendant isnt a children's gift....." he trailed off as he eyed his best friend.
"Dude I had absolutely no idea that gift instructions meant something else." he murmured at the end. How naive was he walking in her front door? Very.
"But you know... learning experience right?" to say the least. Ahem.

She was going to call them Harry and Ronald in her head. Harry was obviously the Ravenclaw (like Myrtle had been), and Ronald was the one not getting invited to things, like all Ronalds.
"Booo hooo hoooo," she sniffled loudly to get their attention, blinking through her spectacles at them like a large, wet owl. "Booohoohoo. Nobody invited poor, Moaning Myrtle to the Head Girl's birth-day part-ay."
Yes, Myrtle knew who Louisa was. Woe is she, not getting invited to anything everrrrrr!!!!! How come she never got asked out ever either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just when he felt that he should start asking Elijah his own barrage of questions about a certain brunette Ravenclaw
another brunette Ravenclaw-- albeit a very dead one-- decided to give them company. He jumped a little when the wailing started echoing all of a sudden in the bathroom
"Uhm Myrtle....." Merlin how can they effectively tell her to shut up without hurting her feelings and turning them deaf before they can reach the door?
"..... It was just a small gathering...." well it wasnt really that small but he wasnt going into specifics now with
two people apparently slighted with the non-invite
"... of the ones Louisa felt comfortable enough to invite into her home. And her home was in the middle of Muggle London. You know how Muggles are.... we always got to keep a low profile when the only thing separating them and us is a picket fence."
