Was Zoryn trying to distract him? Because he could see right through her. Even the eyes of the Monster Book of Monsters whose spine he was petting lightly opened and watched her warily.
"I was going to find a quiet place to do some reading," he said, still cautious. The Quidditch captain was up to no good, and he could basically smell it. The girls' dormitories were on the other side, and she was clearly headed towards the wrong one... something wasn't right there. Unless she'd been hit by a Confundo in DADA and it still hadn't worn off, but he seriously doubted that. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he asked, "Where are you going?" Surely not towards the boys' dormitories? was the question that remained unspoken, but he wasn't going to accuse just yet.
Just then, his eyes widened impossibly large when the Head Boy came out and- "MERLIN'S BEARD, ZORYN LOOK AWAY!" He stepped in front of Ace to serve as a cover, but a very pathetic one, since the height difference was quite... there was quite the gap. He was also pretty mortified himself, since he had yet to get used to how carefree some boys were in the dormitories.
... it was definitely not the place to go for Zoryn. |
