He also saw the look Elrod was giving his hair. Self-conscious Summers was self-conscious. Did it look okay? Was it ruffled out of control? The boy ran a hand through it as slowly and model-like casually as possible.
... Wait... WHAT?!
Alec jumped a little at the loud sound before turning to face Elrod. "You... you don't like Quidditch? I... at all?!" His voice might have gotten a little higher pitched, which then caused the boy to clear his throat before looking back at Elrod. The panic was back.
He liked their players. As a Hufflepuff Quidditch team player from last term, Alec couldn't help but be a little proud of that little fact. "I think... most of the team think they're not that scary or intimidating. Or... we'd rather just use our energy on playing, instead," And he wasn't intimidating. Not even close. "Do you think it'd be more... useful?" Because he knew a Kaid very well. Maybe it was something they could try? Shrug. "Well... I didn't see any when I went. And..." There was something else. Headmistress Pink had said something. "... We got our other items back thanks to the winning's from the Competition last year. So... why not take away the turnstiles?" Shrug.
Cutty was really starting to like this guy. He was tall, strong, athletic, he played Quidditch and his brain was most definitely a potato. Which was how Cutty liked them. Yes, indeed, he would make a very handsome goon this one would. And Cutty was kind of looking for that this term. In fact, for the next three terms he thought he would do well to seek out some muscle of various kinds. "
Gits. I said people who don't like Quidditch are gits." He said correcting what he interpreted to be a misunderstanding. "
Cutty Mordaunt." He said, purposefully omitting the 't' at the end. "
The 'T' is silent and I used a fake name just now for safety's sake. Ya know,...bullies."
The boy's glance cut towards the Headboy's hand as it glided like little fish through his hair. His obsessive little Slytherin brain manifested only one thought-the memory of Tempus fiddling with his hair in Botros's office. Then he started thinking about the boy's hands and how they were always very busy. Cutty held the belief that idle hands were generally a bad thing.
Focus, Mordaunt! "
Eh, are yew some kind of hair expert or something?"
