He was on the first floor, flexing his arms and pretending he was sword fighting with it. But he kept and eye out for anyone. Wouldn't want to injure anyone. Jory began humming to himself as he randomly headed for The Portraits. He remembered the had once talked to some during a Divination class. What fun that was.
"I wonder if any of them are here,'' he thought. "Ohh looky! Someone's there as well!'' Maybe they were doing Astronomy homework too? He approached the person. "Hello, there,'' the badger said not looking at the person. He had work to complete after all. "Don't let me disturb you.''
The badger whipped out his wand and that's when he happened to glance at the person standing there. It was Gwen. "Gwen!'' he exclaimed. She bust be thinking he was rude! "Sooooooo sorry! I didn't really pay attention to who it was. How are ya? I'm goood! It's a brilliant day isn't it?'' He grinned a big goofy grin. It was a good day to be happy!
"Excuse me while I clean this place a bit.'' It was dusty but not as much as was the chaos in the Hufflepuff boys dorm and Common Room. He seriously hoped the Portraits won't mind the noise. They would have a cleaner surrounding after all.
''Vacavus!'' Jory said tapping the vacuum. As it started up, he began to hum again. He really didn't mind manual cleaning. Nope! He was muggleborn and that had it's advantages.
The seventh year aimed the cleaner at the wall first. WHIIIIR WHIIIIR WHIIIIIIRRR! it went eating all the dirt just like a black hole would. He passed it around the Portrait's edges and even over the Portraits themselves. He really tried not to disturb the occupants. About five minutes or so, Jory stopped the cleaner and turned back to Gwen.
"Soooooo, Gweny,'' he said, setting down the cleaner on the ground. "How's life?''
Hmmm.
No reply from any of the people from the portraits yet? Odd. Gwen was about to say something when she heard some footsteps. Drawing her attention from the portraits, the seventh year spotted… JORY!
GRIN.
She just stood there, with her arms crossed, wondering WHEN the Hufflepuff would actually notice her. It was so funny seeing Jory’s reactions right now. It was payback time for last year. When she had been at the library and took no less than five minutes to notice that someone (Jory, in this case) had taken a seat at the same table where she was sitting. Heh. But now the Hufflepuff seemed to be taking some time to notice her.
‘Hi!’, she finally said, after hearing the Hufflepuff call her name.
‘It’s alright’, she chuckled. See? See how hard it is to take notice of someone when you are concentrated?
‘I’m----‘, she started saying, but didn’t get to finish, because Jory went on talking.
Good. Brilliant day.
Jory was like a hyperactive firstie.
That made Gwen smile. Hehe. Jory was being funny. But… what was he saying? He was excusing himself… No need to do that.
‘The place can really use some cleaning’, she commented, eyeing the frames of the portraits. She was thinking of going to get a vacuum cleaner and continue her Astronomy Homework. Then again, it was Jory’s idea to come and clean this place. And Gwen wasn’t going to steal his idea.
She was still smiling (because let’s face it, she was obviously happy to see Jory) until… she heard him say something.
Gweny. That nickname. A nickname no one had used until earlier that day. She immediately thought about the person she had talked to at the library.
Zeke. And now she was just confused. Ughh. Which made her nearly miss Jory’s question.
She drew her attention back to her friend.
‘Great! Despite all the changes at Hogwarts, I’m really glad to be back’ Mhm. She was.
‘How about you?’ Well, maybe there was no need to ask that question, since Jory seemed to be really happy. Heh.
