It didn't seem to bother her too much and for too long, though. "Alright, cool," she said, plopping down into a seat and getting comfortable. She looked down at her feet and watched them swing back and forth for a bit. They actually touched the floor this time. Last school year, her feet just dangled above the ground.
"You're trying to calculate something about your candy?" she asked. "Sounds complicated." She started to ask if the girl was a Ravenclaw, but it also looked like she might be a first year. "So are you a first year?" She hadn't seen her around, and by this point, she'd seen about all the regulars. Her eyebrows perked up when she found out there was a surprise in the center. "Oh, well no wonder you want to know how long it'll take to get there!" She had no idea how long it would take to get there. "I don't know. How big was it when you started?" And... "A baby snow leopard? Why?"
...
"Divide the what of the jawbreaker and drag the what? That sounds like a really difficult piece of candy to eat," she said. "My mind hasn't figured out the school year's started yet, and I'm still in denial." She pulled out the first of her chocolate frogs. "I'm just concerned with the chocolate frog card that's inside and whether or not I already have it."
With her feet stuck straight out in front of her she nodded.
"Yeah I'm a first year. I want to be in Slytheirn. My daddy, my aunt, my great-aunt and my grandfather were in Slytherin. So its like a family thing. Though Ravenclaw wouldn't be so bad but I look better in yellow so Hufflepuff is ok. Well I like red and gold so Gryffindor wouldn't be so bad, but I think my dad would be disappointed if I weren't in Slytherin. He wants me to pull better pranks than he did." She licked her jawbreaker a few times.
She smiled.
"Oh I just started. My daddy gave it to me last night. My grandmother would be really upset she says a little girl should not be 90% candy, but what she doesn't know won't get me in trouble." Felix nodded. Not that she would tell her grandmother that.
She looked at the girl.
"Well because it was there and Cuba is a baby. Babies lick things." Did the girl really need to ask that. Didn't everyone know baby liked to lick everything?
Felix cocked her head at the girl.
"No the candy isn't complicated to eat you just have to keep licking. I wonder if I can lick in my sleep. I just want to see if I can calculate how long it will take me to get to the center. How long can you be in denial if you know you are in denial. Is this like Schrodinger's cat. If you open the box school has started but if you don't open the box it hasn't so you just hold the box and wait for it to explode?" Felix inched away from the girl incase her mythical box did explode.
She licked her jawbreaker and wrote some complicated maths down in her notebook.
"My aunt Paris is on a card. I've got three of hers. I've got more cards than my daddy. How many do you have? Do you go to the trading card tea parties. I went to the last one and it was a Mad Hatter theme I got to wear a green and purple stripped top hat and a orange waistcoat. My aunt said my outfit gave her vertigo but it so was so much fun. They had teacakes and jam sandwiches." She gave her jawbreaker another lick.
Felix offered the girl her hand without the sticky jawbreaker.
"Felix Greenwood at your service. I'm a hoot at parties and I've got bubblegum that can change your hair color." She offered the girl a cheeky grin.
