But please don't hate her. Quote:

Something to tuck away in the back of his mind for later. "I'd call you a Veela if I wanted to s-s-say you were attractive." Just stating a fact. "I meaaaaaaant somefing that us-s-ses nifflers! Like like...Hide-and-Go-Niffler! OR OR OR CAPTURE THE FLAG BUT WITH NIFFLERS?!"
And then there were loads of people - Gryffindor people - who kept looking at Etta. And it was confusing and made his tummy squirm like a bucket of worms had been tipped over in it.
And then Etta was asking the Ravenclaw prefect if he wanted to join them and Derf was ALL for it. He was still sort of in AWE at how the older boy had been in Astronomy - because anyone that was of the same mindset of Brian had to be more than just NEAT, you know?
"Oh yes, please," Derf chirped, nodding his head eagerly. Rooney was just about to start jotting down his ideas and whatnot when he was approached by a Hufflepuff. Who was paired with another Hufflepuff. With a cautious glance around the room to see if anyone had put them up to it, Rooney actually did consider working with them. Whether he was paranoid or just nervous about being in a crowded classroom again, he was positive that they were just going to be using him for his history knowledge or to ask him a bunch of questions about everything that he didn't want to talk about. But they were younger than he was and he didn't feel like being a butthead to them.
With a sigh, Rooney took a bite at the inside of his cheek and looked between the pair before shaking his head. "I'm sorry. I'd just..rather work alone today. Another time, maybe." Bonding with others and having to make conversation seemed like the worst idea ever right now.
With that over and done with, he buried his face into his notebook and started to scrawl his own ideas down. He had a few and just needed to flesh them out and then decide on one to submit for his class work.
