And then she went and mentioned Alice and West, who just so happened to be the two people in the world least likely to give a damn what Mo did or thought or wanted. Was that just complete innocence on Dora's part, or was it cruelty? Did she not know, or was she rubbing it in that they cared about her? Mo frowned thoughtfully and turned the ring on his finger. Or was she being a Ravenclaw and fishing? "No, I'm sure they don't approve of any of this, but you're a sport. So then... birthday gift for you." He pulled out one of those old fashioned Muggle hatboxes with a striped bow perched on top. Inside were a pair of the fuzziest and most ridiculous unicorn slippers known to wizarding-kind.
Dora nodded in agreement, and watched as he slipped the ring on his finger. She wasn't really all that surprised that it fit. Sizing for him wasn't too difficult and she'd been confident in her pick for him.
"They don't know, I didn't bother asking." It wasn't a big deal or anything. She had no intent of making it one either. Reaching over she took the box eagerly and carefully opened it up. The fourth year wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly wasn't a pair of fuzzy slippers.
She took them out and held them out.
"This goes with absolutely nothing in my wardrobe." Lowering them just enough so he could see her face she smiled.
"They're nice. I'll find something to go with them."
