It was just a waste of energy to be negative, he thought. Plus it just wasn't him. Nodding happily, he added, "You should. I like making my friends feel better when they're down." He didn't know if he was good at it or not, but he didn't like to see people sad so he did what he could.
Taking another bite of his apple, he tilted his head as he looked at her. Eh didn't sound all that encouraging and he wondered if she didn't like school all that much. "Oh... I guess I can see your point," he said with a light shrug. "I like being lazy sometimes. But I really like being back to see my friends all the time too." Sure, he saw friends over summer, but it wasn't the same. And school did have its good points.
Diplomatic probably was a good word for it as he didn't like to gossip too much or spill any secrets. But that didn't mean he didn't like to talk. "I.. don't know who they are," he admitted with a laugh. Maybe it was because he wasn't in Slytherin? He did know of a few people who were dating, but he wasn't sure Genny knew them or had interest in them because of that. He watched the apple core as it soared through the air. "I heard there might be a party. Still thinking about costumes though." None of that set in stone though. Genny continued to give him the same grin. "You're welcome." She wasn't complimenting him but also he seemed to be flattered by that as if she was the first one to point that out to him. "I wish I saw things like you, or thought about it like you. I can't help it, I guess." She paused, looked at Henry sideways contemplating whether she should say the next thing or not.
"I get angry at things too quickly." She did.
Friends obviously meant a lot to him. Same for her, this made her feel even more comfortable talking to him. Although right now she felt embarrassed she shared that piece of trivia with him. "Uhm, I know them. I know Brooklyn. But we're not friends. I mean, I'm not an annoying stalker or anything but--" Her cheeks were definitely a light shade of red, which got her even more embarrassed so she focused her eyes on the grass down below. "--I think she's a nice girl. She looks pretty, she seems very together all the time, she doesn't show such random, explosive emotion." With a bite of her lower lip, the Gryffindor continued, "Did you meet anyone who made you get attract to them like that?" |
