And sort of half-listened because OH THEY WERE FINDING OUT WHAT WAS IN IT? WHAT WAS IT? WHA--- whaaaat? a TIME capsule? Did that mean there was NOTHING in the box?
Charlotte grappled with this, trying to decide if she was DISAPPOINTED (Because nothing in the box) or EXCITED (because time capsule! THAT WAS EXCITING!!) She ignored the arrival of the house elf because she had Bambou at home so was used to them and all, and instead tilted her head, dropping her hand at her side and eyeing up the Air man.
"Are YOU going to put something in there TOO?" She wanted to know.
Bentley was hoping to beat Charlotte to the box which he almost did, so good were his ninja skills, when SHE got busted. Awwww poor Charlotte. He supposed her bright blonde hair made her more noticable. Such a shame, it would have been nice telling her he beat her to the chest.
Anyways, turned out their head of house wad half blind or probably just didn't see well. This could be used to his advantage. The first year crouched lower, for all the good that would do and continued to partially listen to the half blind head of house while tugging on the lid of the box. Really? It couldn't be open? Why make it big? Why make it red?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy put it in the middle of the room for others to think it's interesting?
He groaned and sat by Charlotte's foot.
"What a dudd..what's so interesting about a stupid box?"
