I’m sure they’ll be good for a laugh.” Laughing was the best and it would just be nice to see him looking happy. To watch as the laughter lit up his features and made his eyes crinkle happily. “It was a lot of fun” Mel grinned, “until we had to hide…house elves are really good finders – his dad has them you know? Because they work at the Bed & Breakfast” Mel admitted with a small laugh…oh he was laughing. Sigh. “y’know you have the happiest smile when you laugh. I like it…laughing is the best” don’t be an awkwizard she told her self.
“Yeah I think it will be cool…well, it should be easy to tell…my sister’s getting married in August? The day before the fullmoon” she grinned to herself. “He might be all rawr-rawr vicious then and grumpy…agitated heck if he doesn’t go may actually BE a werewolf.” Mel smirked at her reasoning and immediately smiled when she heard Carl’s answer.
He’d want to meet her family. That was awesome. “Oh yay! I’m glad…you should come meet the crups sometime too! We can like make a day of it have adventures and play with puppies?” She offered with a small smile on her face…oh right Kaiden and Mika…that question, she just nodded in response before opening her mouth to speak. She was going to have to say something about that. “Actually…um…they started dating here in the tree house actually…its cool though, I get it. Why people choose this place to have deep conversations” she looked around at the tree house and smiled. “They’re getting married in one you know…a tree house.” It was their thing….”actually we still have a giant pillow fort at the house from back in those days – I kind of want to make one in the tree house and just have a cozy place to read sometime?” She grinned…or well it didn’t have to be used for reading really it could have been used for absolutely anything.
“I don’t get it really…you know – why he licked her. Kaiden’s weird but I guess that’s why I like him?...and he makes Mika happy.” She said with little nod as she glanced over to her friend and smiled, “I was planning on doing something funny…well an experiment this summer in Diagon Alley – wearing one of those ‘free hugs’ shirts and see how many hugs I can get.” She admitted. She was a hugger it was something that couldn’t be disputed she liked hugs...Carl's hugs were especially nice.
He would definitely get lots of pictures from his travel! Taking photographs was an amazing way of recording a moment.
"You're welcome. It would be cool to share funny things we saw over the summer." Another cool thing? Listening to how people who grew up in Wizarding families. And Carl was not disappointed when he heard that Mel and Tenacius had to hide from House Elves after breaking the glass table, which was pretty awesome despite the circumstance. He laughed as he said,
"I guess the House Elves were not very happy with you guys. Tell me about other funny things that happened!" Oh, he had the happiest smile? He grinned broadly at her.
"Thank you ... you have a beautiful smile too, has anybody told you that? It really lights up your face." Really, she was pretty both smiling and not. He felt himself redden a bit and turned his face to the photograph of curly haired Kaiden, not meeting her eyes.
Ohhh, the day before the full moon.
"Ha, that makes sense! You've got to tell me whether or not he turns up!" The Hufflepuff thought it would be cool if Mel personally knew a werewolf. There probably were not many people who did!
Carl smiled.
"Your family has crups? That's cool, all I have is an owl who does not like me ... oh yeah, I would love that!" Going over to meet her family and her puppies, he could imagine how much fun they would have. He looked around at the Treehouse, amazed that it was such a meaningful place for Mika and Kaiden. Nodding, he understood why people liked it here - it was like a fort that provided a good chance for them to relax and have deep conversations, as the Gryffindor said.
"That's really romantic." He commented as she said the couple was getting married in a Treehouse. He was not sure of the exact definition of being romantic, but this was surely an example.
"You know, a pillow fort would also be good for hiding snacks, or comic books, or ... weapons." She collected weapons, right? Biiig grin.
He nodded; Kaiden did sound like a nice person, even though he had never met him in person. An experiment? He smiled at Mel.
"I bet you would get a lot of hugs. I could help you conduct the experiment too, if you want." He wouldn't mind wearing a 'free hugs' shirt and giving out hugs. Then they would know how many people in the Wizarding World liked being hugged.
