| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium SPOILER!!: Zeke
There were a few things he'd come to learn about people in his insignificant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things 14 years - of which he could only really remember about 8 years with fairly good detail. Firstly, that when people sat idle to 'chat' it was usually a serious matter. Secondly when they had persistently unusual questions, it was usually serious. Thirdly, when someone emphasised the need to be "honest" or "true to" you that things were going to get real. Just WHAT, was Hady on about?!
"Uh huuuuhhhh," he prompted uncertainly. This was perhaps the Gryffindor's worst fear, serious talks.
At first though, he didn't get it. Okay, yes, there was the article or whatever. And she'd spoken to Maggie, that was, normal, right? Then again he didn't know WHAT was discussed, so there was an element of concern clouding that one. But in the end, he was quite honestly perplexed.
"Do something I wouldn't normally do?" he questioned. And just what was it that he wouldn't normally do? Kiss toads? Have detention? Swim in swamp water.. well okay, that one was plausible. And then it clicked.
...
"She told you I left her," he stated, somehow managing to tie in everything Hady had just referred to. But, she wanted to know why?
"Because she wasn't being fair." That's why.
Finished speaking her gaze dropped once more to her lap. Could she just leave now? Please. This was supposed to be fun, a chance to spend time with Zeke. Not question him. This wasn't supposed to happen and yet it was. Hady wasn't supposed to care and yet she did. Right now she just wanted to leave. Go up to her dorm and lay down on her bed to forget this whole thing.
What was she thinking bringing it up and mentioning Maggie. She was in the middle of mental scolding herself when she heard him speak. "Leave someone behind." She stated quietly with a barely there shoulder shrug.
Slowly she nodded in reply to his comment without looking at him. Maggie had told her. How else would she have known? And there was an answer. A simple one at that. "Okay." That was all. Okay. Maggie had been unfair therefore he had left her there. That's all she needed to hear.
Lifting her head to look at the boy sitting beside her she sighed. "M' sorry Zeke. It's not my business and I won't ask you anything else." Sorry. A word she almost never said out loud. It felt strange. Everything felt strange now.
