 sorry if this feels disjointed; tried to get everyone Mischievous Niffler
Why did Dora appear to deflate right before her eyes? Was it something she said? She didn't realize it was her thin smile, thinking instead that it was her welcome. "That's okay, I would have welcomed you to the Ravenclaw table even if it was your fifth time." A small shrug. "My welcoming you was just a way to say hello, besides, I wasn't prefect in those other terms." She didn't want to intrude on Dora's conversation so she didn't ask anything else.
She waved back at Hads, who also seemed interested in Rooney's description of Kitty's mind. As she was waving to her, she caught sight of Tenacius stopping in mid-wave. Oops she must have missed him before! She managed a wave in his direction too, though she didn't say hi because she was still waiting for Rooney's answer and it might seem rude to blurt out something to someone else in the middle of a conversation.
Kitty had been planning to stop by the Slytherin table later to say goodbye to her friend Hady, but Hady had beat her to it. She felt a wave of sadness that she had felt since Penelope had left them last year. "I miss you already," she said truthfully, hugging Hady back in as tight a hug as her weak body could give. "Where will you go next? Will we keep in touch?" |
