He liked Leesha, he decided, even if she was a bit cynical. It was kind of... cool.
He copied her motions, separating the whites from the yolk carefully (he had a bad habit of breaking these in the process) and dropping them into the water-filled kettle.
Hmm.
"It looks like... tentacles," he began hesitantly, then cocked his head. "No, wait, it's more like... flames? It would definitely look like fire if it was the yolk, it's totally the wrong colour. Kind of rectangular at the bottom and spiky at the top, like in a fire place. Don't you think?" he asked Leesha, leaning back so she could take a look.
Following Harvey's movements she noticed that he didn't seemed that shy anymore, what was a good thing because she wasn't a scary person, not if she didn't wanted to and today she wasn't in the mood to be scary. Thinking back at her first day when she had tried to scare somebody she and the Ravenclaw boy had both fallen into the Lake but it had been fun to see the fear in his eyes. But anyway, today she wasn't trying to scare anyone so it was good that Harvey had calmed down, they were working together so that was a good thing.
Harvy wasn't a bad kid, for a boy. She didn't understood boy's and why some of the older girls were always gossiping about them but he was not bad she decided. He captured her attention again while talking about his egg and she too watched and frowned before grinning.
"That's cool! I like fire, did you knew that?" Spoke Leesha excited while opening her book to search for a description about fire and she started to read out loud;
"Your chief interests in life will probably lie in your home; small duties, simple pleasures, and a circle of friends." Looking up at him she tried to hold back her grin, wondering if he believed it.
"So, if I need to believe this than you need to go home and leave Hogwarts because you need to be there, or... You're going to meet new friends soon." Spoke Leesha, trying to sound serious but she couldn't keep a grin from appearing on her lips.
