"I'd say more girls than boys but not by that much." Shrug.
Grayson really was amused. This was a weird conversation, by the way. "Your favourites are lucky, then." Wink. Uh huh. Weird conversation. He didn't understand why there was a lot of winking going on either but it seemed like the right thing to do. Rich, stuck up kids? "Eh," he said, tilting his head to the side and shrugging, "Some act more stuck up when they're around foreigners, I guess. Like to show off and whatnot." But so did others. "Was Durmstrang like that?" It was one of the schools he was going to be sent to as well but if it was similar to Beauxbatons in that sense, he wouldn't have liked it either. Might have wasted a year there. "Harmonic, boring, quiet........" he repeated, nodding slowly, "Not half false. Nothing big happens there."
Vinnie was smart, he was taking note of that. Or she was wise, in a sense. "'Xactly." Agreeing was happening on his part as well. "You need to find the right mix. The fun kind of people too." This had to include the people who would do your homework for you and the ones who always seemed to know the ins and the outs of the school. "See what happens when you don't lock yourself away in the library?" he joked, "But that's good to hear. Good for you." Did he have his own group of friends? Er. Jeez. The honest answer was no but he didn't want her to pity him or whatever. Man this was hard. "Not really but I'm getting there." What? It wasn't entirely a lie.
"Like the treehouse," he agreed, "Don't worry, I won't take your favourite spot away from you." Smirk. It was weird that the fourteen year old was getting along with someone who liked books. He didn't like them and usually didn't get along with people who were like that. Books were BORING. "Huh. I'm glad you didn't bite my head off for that." He wouldn't let her, of course, but whatever.
Booking something for yourself sounded like an adult thing to do and he didn't like it. Regardless, he nodded at her before saying in his silkiest voice, "Saaaaaay, Vinnie? Do you think you could get me their number?" He also put on his most chaaaaaaaarming smile, just in case she needed convincing on the matter. It could benefit her too. Maybe. "Jeez, they are! Amusement parks are expensive, man. You need to get every sickle's worth or not bother going in the first place." This was the only opinion that was right. Uh huh.
Oh. OH. She lived with her dad.
Jeez, he was an idiot. "Didn't know. Sorry." Merlin, he really was turning soft. "Good plan! If she needs convincing, I've heard that I am veeeeery charming." The charming smile was back, by the way. "Guess you could say that. Siblings are the worst, man. Always ruining things."
Was she really a lot more outgoing this year...not really.
“ I dont i changed my behaviour“, Vinnie shook her head,“
i just think people changed theirs. I met my best friend and then i met his other friends and so on.“ It really had started with meeting Louis. All of it, this whole social thing. „Its quite funny how you've met more girls and i've met more boys.“ Shouldnt it be the other way around really?
The brunette leaned her head back and grinned. This was a very amusing conversation and she was enoying it. „
You think?“ Well they were lucky for being her favourites obviously but the Slytherin wanted to know her new friends opinion.Was he her friend?! That had to figured out.
„I think its ridiculous to act differently around strangers“, the girl snorted,
“like what if they stop being strangers and then you are the idiot who lied.“ Being yourself was the best, really. Not the easiest but, the right thing wasnt always the easiest thing to do.
„Durmstrang was strict and rough“, she nodded,“
not really about rich kids, more about who was popular and tough.“ The combat kids were the coolest one, pretty much similar to how the quidditch kids were the coolest here. Sports always seemed to come with a certain popularity. Even though the fifth year thought musicians should be a lot more popular. Nothing big? At all?
“That must have been reaaallly boring“ Beauxbatons definitely didnt sound like her kind of school.
The right mix sounded....right. You needed all kinds of friends. Happy friends, sad friends, party friends, deep friends, funny friends. All of them.
„You need one of each kind“, she chuckled,
“ to make a balanced group.“ In her head Vinnie tried to put her friends in order....this was hilarious. Most of them were the fun kind of people, combined with the deep ones. Yeah.
„No more hiding this beautiful face away“, she joked“
it was a funny coincidence though, it was a day like any other.“ Just the person she had met was different. And thats how it began. It was good that Grayson started to have his own group of friends, like it was hard to find your place at the beginning. At least that was what the brunette thought.“
Thats good“, she grinned,
“you'll get there without even realising.“ „You know we can share the treehouse“, the girl winked. It wasnt meant to be the flirty kinda wink, it just happened. They could drink butterbeer up here and gossip about stupid people. Did Grayson gossip?!
„I'd rather have someone say the truth than pretend to like something to be liked“, she shrugged. That was the worst.
Vinnie just laughed as he pulled out his charming smile for her. Did he really think this was getting him to make her his puppy? The Slytherin had seen far too many charming smiles for that.
“ Sayyyyyy Grayysooonn“, she flashed her sweetest smile,“
dont you think you're a big boy and can get it by yourself?“ Smiiirk. It made her grin how they shared the same opinion about rollercoasters and amusement parks. Maybe they should go together some time
.“Verryyyy true, i dont understand some people.Maybe you just cant understand mediocre brains like that.“ „Dont worry about it“, she shook her head,
“ i dont mind.“ Vinnie had long lost all emotions for her mother. She didnt play any role in her life until holidays came, when she was forced to spent time with her. And the smile was back, it did look good on him to be honest but she wouldnt tell him. Not in a million years.
“You and charming?“, she chuckled,
“ i guess i'll have to see that.“
Listening to Grayson talk about siblings the brunette was glad she didnt have any.
„That sounds awful, could you not hide him away somewhere?“ That was a cruel though....oops.
