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.
Jory wondered why the Portraits had not chastised him as yet for disturbing their peace. But he figured they were probably grateful for the cleaning. A thank you would be alright. But he didn't mind. He was in a good mood.
After finishing up with all his vacuuming, he shut off the cleaner and turned his attention back to Gwen. Something was different. She was smiling. A lot.
"Er... how come you're smiling so much?'' No that she didn't smile. But she didn't. Not that much. The seventh year remember when he first met her. She had been sketching at the time and he had actually thought she was being rude to him. He had even decided to avoid her if he could but thing went differently.
"I'm glad to be back too,'' Jory replied, with much enthusiasm.
"The Castle looks horrible, doesn't it?'' That's why he didn't mind going around and using his vacuum to clean random places. Then he realised Gwen's smile had faltered when he called her Gweny.
"Why so glum, chum?'' he asked jokingly.
"Don't you like the name Gweny?'' He liked calling people nicknames.
Jory paused for a moment. His stomach was making small rumbling sounds. He was hungry.
"I'm hungry. Are you hungry? I want ice cream!'' Yes! Lotttttts of ice cream!
