He thought for sure she'd deny it; possibly glare even harder than earlier and ask that he stop talking. That was how many of his conversation had been going whenever he spoke to girls lately, a perfect pattern. Once again, Hadley found herself fitting outside the mold but this time it was in a good way. An apology and a request to start over.
"We can do that, yeah." Blaise could hold a grudge, he very well could, but this was not the sort of situation that called for such things. Hadley was simply confused about her own feelings toward other human beings and it left her at a disadvantage when interacting with others--at least...that's how his quill told it.
The boy settled in, ready for the explanation that would give him more of an idea about WHY she seemed SO angry. Had to be something good, she was almost as grumpy as HE was on a day he was forced to attend either Charms or Transfiguration. "I'm sorry to hear that." Was his initial reply when she was through. Blaise supposed she'd be sad her parents were splitting but truly, he was only sorry she'd been locked inside all summer and made to suffer the presence of a muggle possessing such a high level of ignorance."D"you think you'll be happier after? Y'know, when you can freely enjoy magic and your friends."
In the back of his mind, Blaise thought to skirt around her question once more but she'd come clean and he didn't suppose his reasoning was any more important or critical. In fact, he felt a little silly having to explain after her own story.
"I'm no good at it." Painfully and disappointingly simple, wasn't it? "Growing up, I didn't want anything more than to get my own wand and start casting magic--real magic, not the accidents I made happen sometimes. Dad said I'd be as good as him with enough practice and we thought of all these neat things I could do once I'd mastered the basics." The faintest of smiles graced his features, only somewhat noticeable in the dull light and only there a moment. His shoulders rose in something of a shrug. "Then I got here, and I tried real magic with my real wand that supposedly 'chose' me...and nothing happened. Looked around at everyone else in my year--some of them were getting stuff on the very first go but no matter how I tried, nothing." Another, more defiant shrug was offered then. "Doesn't matter. It's dumb and I don't need it to get stuff done so about your flying charm or whatever." They could just focus on that.
