Again, boys could be so disgusting.
As the bean grew closer, Sophie raised her wand and tried to get a good aim. She did not want Cutty's germs hitting her on the face. Eww... This time, she had to actually stop the jelly bean, so she pictured it freezing it mid-air right before her. "Arresto Momentum!" she called out, waving her wand. The jelly bean froze in mid-air, earning a smile from her, and then she used her wand to knock it into the trash can.
She fished another jelly bean out her pocket, and as she aimed it toward Cutty, she casually said, "So I read about you in the Aparecium." Then she tossed the bean right at him.
Cutty's eyes widened in a sort of hit-by-wonder manner at Sophie's next words. Did she understand what a disappointing thing she had just brought up? "
I know." His voice sounding a bit too filled with sorrow and regret for him to have been truly sorry had the bean tasted like dirt.
Aparecium? Why hadn't he seen this yet? "
Oh yeah?", he began casually. "
Well, it was only a matter of time, really." He concluded arrogantly having assumed it was some kind of board where they put Hogwarts's best students. He concentrated and interrupted himself with the incantation. "
Arresto Momentum!" He said, aiming at the bean and getting it to cease it's motion as though it had SLAMMED on the brakes and skidded a little.
"
What'd it say about me?" He asked a somewhat cocky smile playing around his mouth as he whacked the mid-air bean towards Sophie with the end of his wand.
