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!
Well… she was smiling a lot. Which was completely unusual for Gwen. Gwen, the person who you much rather would see rolling her eyes than actually smiling. Heh. So what was the reason why she was smiling a lot?
Hmm. Was it because:
A. she was simply in a good mood
B. she was happy to see Jory again
C. of everything that happened earlier that day at the lake
D. all of the above?
Yes, the last option was probably the best. Heh.
‘I’m just happy’, she said, realizing that she hadn’t actually given an answer to the Hufflepuff. Until now, that is.
‘It does’, she mused, after hearing Jory say something about the castle looking awful.
‘Any idea what happened?’ Just asking. Gwendolyn drew her attention to the portraits for a moment. Did they know anything?
Hmm. Maybe it wasn’t that obvious that her mood suddenly changed as Jory mentioned that nickname. Wrong. The Hufflepuff noticed.
‘Umm… it’s fine’ Yeah. Gweny was fine.
‘BetterthanIcePrincessanyway’, she mumbled under her breath. Well, yeah. She could see from where she got that nickname, being so cold and rude and blah blah blah. But still.
Just when she was about to distract herself from thinking about that certain Gryffindor, Gwen heard Jory say something else. Ice cream. First the nickname, now this?! Hmm. Maybe Jory knew something. Resisting the urge of narrowing her eyes suspiciously as she looked back at the Hufflepuff, Gwen just shook her head a bit.
‘Not really’ No, she wasn’t hungry. Hmm. Ice cream. She didn’t have ice cream. However-
‘How about a chocolate frog?’, she said, taking a couple of chocolate frogs from her bag. Hmm?
