"Please, just call me Dora. No need for the miss," the sixth year said with a soft smile to the girl. "And I do have to say thank you. It really means a lot." Sincerity; Dora had it! "Well I think they are just lovely. Maybe have it fade into gold when it flashes? Make it proper Gryffindor!" She was getting excited just looking at the posters!
"Well you did a lovely job, Emmeline. Really. It's all fabulous, dear." And now her books were getting a bit heavy. As the older girl moved to set them on a nearby table she couldn't help but smile wider still at the girl. "You really exude house pride. It's a rather welcome change." Oh? The books. "I am not sure what to do to prepare for these challenges, really. Also, can I tell you a secret?" The last was said in a low, conspiratorial tone. Secrets were big deals after all.
Dora said she didn't have to call her "miss"! This made the first year's day, and her face split into a BIG smile, because maybe one day she could be friends with Dora if Dora wanted to. Friends don't call each other "miss" after all. And, and, Dora liked her posters! Gryffindor was lucky to have two champions who were really nice.
Emmeline's eyes widened as Dora suggested making them flash gold. "Cool! How do you make them flash?" With a spell? Ooh, maybe Dora would teach her a new spell and then she could say that she'd learned spells from BOTH of Gryffindor's champions. How cool would that be?! And now Dora was complimenting her even more on her posters. "Thanks! I stayed up all night." Her first-ever all nighter was a big deal for the 11-year-old.
She frowned slightly when Dora said she had House pride. She wasn't sure she did, really. She often thought that the Sorting Hat had made a mistake, because she wasn't very brave. She did want Dora or Mr. Levi to win, though. Was that House pride? Maybe.
The first year's eyes lit up when Dora adopted the low tones; a big kid was going to trust her with a secret! That was HUGE! Emmeline moved to stand closer to Dora, so that they definitely wouldn't be overheard. Lowering her voice to match the older girl's, she nodded fervently. She could keep secrets. |
