"No no!" she said, with her hand waving left-to-right to support her 'no's. "I mean - I don't want to bother your father. Besides..." while her mum couldn't reject a headmaster, she'd be really - "Actually..." Katherine smiled a little, her demeanour changed. Actually, that'd really infuriate her mother, wouldn't it? And also show that even headmaster's child had fun. While the woman absolutely would not like it, she also would be completely unable to say 'no'. She'd have a huge dilemma between 'Headmaster' and 'My daughter's a friend of his daughter, so this should benefit us.' vs. 'Katherine must not be distracted with stupid, pointless activities. Besides, this clearly is the worthless child of the Headmaster, being a sportswoman and all instead of becoming the headmistress herself.' So not only would Katherine make another friend (hopefully - and who would have thought that Genny was actually a nice girl? She'd initially hated her), she'd also get to see how normal families worked, plus a Quidditch match. "Actually, come to think about it, my mother can't say 'no' to that. But I don't want to bother your father. He's such an important man, he'd find it a nuisance dealing with parents after all this time." And there, she truly was concerned about that. She really didn't want to bother the man just because she was en route to becoming Genny's friend.
Well, yeah, that was unhelpful. Katherine couldn't help but smile to herself. "So you're... completely uneducated in muggle ways?" Or..? Katherine was a very interesting fun person to be around. She had all those weird inexplicable reactions to things. Like right now, she was panicking and calling Gaellen an 'important man', which with the image of him in the morning drinking coffee and pretending to listen to Genny's mother was just hilarious.
Genny waited for a full moment to hear what the 'Actually' was about. It wasn't her trait to be patient while talking to people but Kath seemed to be really in a pickle about this whole thing. It shouldn't be this hard to attend a Quidditch match.
Finally, it came. "It won't bother him." Pft, whaaaa, her dad adored her. He'd do it with a little bit of convincing. "You have to come see a match at least once before you decide you don't like it. It's amazing! Lots of adrenaline and excitement you'll pass away from all the energy in the field!" Genny's grin was a preview of all that excitement.
"Not completely uneducated, I know TVs and stuff." She said uncertainly. "How educated do we have to be, though, right? We just live on our own and they on their own." Problem solved. |
