Her attention had been on Ravenclaw for a time, but for very different reasons involving some sort of confrontation between Dieter and her step brother. Something she was still to nervous to ask the latter about.
Speaking of paying attention, she REALLY should have been keeping a more watchful eye on what her impromptu gardening companion was doing. Unfortunately, by the time she realized which 'weed' it was that he was uprooting...he was already holing it up at eye level. Which, good for him, caused her to miss the borderline stalkerish response to why he was in the garden right now.
"Mason," she hissed, her tone high pitched and very squeaky. "That isn't a weed! That's lavender...it's supposed to be here. We need to replant that!"
She was a seventh year? Mason looked at her for a second before turning his gaze back to the dirt. He had honestly thought that she was a fifth year , maybe sixth, but seventh? No.
"You must be excited to graduate" he said.
"what do you want to do after Hogwarts?" did she want to work? Continue studying? What?
"And i'm a fifth year he added.
"W-What?" the guy stuttered as Paige suddenly hissed his name. Tone high pitched and squeaky. It reminded him of how his own mother sounded when he had done something wrong and she was angry with him.
And then, as he looked at the plant still in his hand, he shrugged his shoulders and placed it back down.
"No big deal, we'll just plant it back and Professor Myers would never even know"
......eeehmmm...
"How do you put it back in the ground?" he asked , scratching his neck. Had he ever told her that he never really paid attention to Herbology?
