SPOILER!!: forgiving Benny

Their conversation went from fast and furious to awkward and slow in only a few short moments. Awkward really didn't even begin to explain it. More like guilt and shame. Sure, she wasn't sorry for sticking up for her sister, and she never would be if she had to do it again. But, maybe next time she should make sure she knew the whole story before she went and threw someone on the ground. AJ was not a think before you speak/act kind of girl, and she wondered if she ever would be. Once she's in the heat of the moment, all logic goes out the window. She was a firecracker in every sense of the word.

She stared at the ground for a moment while she processed what had just happened between her and one of her very good friends. Sure, she could say sorry all day long, and acknowledgment that she was wrong did help, but was it enough? She couldn't take anything back.

Benny finally speaking and returning her hug brought her eyes back to his. As soon as he said it was alright, she let out her breath that she didn't even realize she was holding. "It's really not, but thanks for saying that." Then he was complimenting her which only made her feel worse. "I am a good sister, huh? Ang-- they are some lucky sisters." A little joke to lighten the mood?

She had been part of the reason why Benny wasn't at his own house table for the feast. How she would react was the one of the main reasons why. Man, what did that say about her? He was right though. AJ would have been over the top and probably would have gotten the whole lot of them in trouble. "Good thinking." Really good. "I'm sure it would have been bad." Probably worse than what had just happened now because there would have been a teary eyed Angel there to fuel the fire.

"Oh, um... sorry." The fifth year raised herself up off of Benny and stood up on her own two feet. She reached down and held a hand out to help Benny up. He was probably ready for her to be off of him long ago.

Benny just barely heard her quiet words. Well knowing him meant knowing that he wasn't doing this all selfishly. That it took a lot out of him to even consider the break-up let alone actually following through with it. And it didn't matter if AJ had meant it the way it might have sounded to him an any random bystander, but there was a knowing feel that the two relationships were comparable. And in the end...found quite different in ways. Benny was ashamed of his visible feelings...of the tears that threatened to fall as they rested upon his eyes while he lay on the ground looking up at the fifth year that he hadn't felt he could really displace in her anger and negative feelings towards hum. But alas he soon found himself free, at least his arm, one moment, and then embraced in a hug the next moment. The older Gryffindor tentatatively moved his own arms around her in response so it wasn't one sided and she didn't feel he didn't appreciate the gesture. But it was definitely an awkward position to be in for sure. And mildly overshadowed by AJ's appology towards him only followed by more words that made him feel even the tiniest bit better about things. "It's alright AJ," he assured her, releasing her as well. "I didn't expect anything less from you because you're a good sister. To be honest I hung out with Adi and the badgers at the opening feast concerned about how you'd react." That would have been the last thing they needed. Drama in front of the full school. They already had that with Ian a few years before.
