And now that the other girl had grabbed a book--yeah, Eden's eyes widened. "Um--okay--I'm done--" she said quickly, and she started to grab her things. "I do not want to be attacked by a LITTLE girl in the LIBRARY with a BOOK." She said, growling a bit, because, hey, under the hate the potion(supposed to be).
She didn't waste of time, grabbing the empty vial and her robe, and her book, and shooting glares at the girl--but first--"By any chance...did you just take a hate potion?" she asked softly. It would explain it all. Eden had her hunch that she had, but if she hadn't--whoah. The girl was just mean then. Eden would tell her she had taken hers, too...
SO what if she had actually been pretending because her hate potion didn't work? Eh?
"I did not attack you, you attacked me!" Sure, Hayden had a book in her hands but she hadn't attacked the girl with it. It was merely a precaution. One she would not hesitate to use in order to protect herself from being viciously attacked again by this girl.
Oh good, the girl was leaving. It meant Hayden wouldn't be attacked again. It also meant she wouldn't have to be the one to leave, and therefore she wasn't the coward. This girl was. Er, maybe. Hayden was starting to slowly doubt if she really believed that? Did she really hate this girl? She'd never even met her. The power of her hatred was starting to lessen.
Hate potion? This girl was asking about the hate potion.
"Yes," she answered warily. What was her point? Why would whether or not she'd taken the hate potion affect anything?
Oh.
The book dropped from Hayden's hand and landed with a loud
thud. Suddenly, everything made sense. She didn't really hate this girl. Of course she didn't hate somebody she'd never met or heard of before in her entire life. How could she have been so mean? The 4'4" Hufflepuff girl suddenly felt very small. She stood where she was and stared at the girl, trying to come up with something to say. Some apology that might make everything better.
"I'm sorry." Her voice was very small. Her lower lip started to wobble and tears formed in her eyes. She tried her hardest not to cry and she didn't. At least, not yet.
