Moving on quickly, he latched on to the next thing she mentioned “Aha I’ve never actually read them. I have heard of them though, are they worth my time?”. He was well acquainted with Peter Pan but had never touched an Alice in Wonderland book.
Grinning now, he thought for a minute. She really did love muggle fiction. More than even he did. “What were you going to say? You didn’t finish your question”. He was curious. What did she not want to say? Answering her question now, he did after all owe her one answer, “No I don’t think so. I mean, I would love to experience them, maybe go on a summer program to Camp Half Blood! I mean, could you imagine flying on the Pegasus or being a half-blood? And the quests?... going on a quest with your best friends would be amazing!”. red-faced now slightly, he stopped. He’d never actually had friends at home that he’d want to take with him. His mind started to wonder now. Who would he actually take? Which god would most likely be his parent? “What about you? Would you snap your wand to jump into... Wonderland?”. He hoped he’d got that right. He had a feeling she might take offense if he got that wrong.
Sliding his book back into his rucksack, he sat forward slightly and looked a Quinn out of the corner of his eyes. He’d never actually looked at her properly before. Mentally, he made a note of her ear rings and dimples, having never noticed them before. Honestly, he’d always tried to avoid eye contact with her. She could be intimidating when she wanted to be. Quinn watched him as he talked, the corners of her mouth curling ever-so-gently upwards as he caught before reveal the crush he surely had on Annabeth Chase...the character, not Quinn's best friend...although, Beth had told her about their encounters over summer... It gave her face an impression of a smirk without actually smirking. And then that vague impression of a smile dropped. "Yes, they're worth it." Her voice was sharp, but not harsh.
Honestly, she didn't care if he read them or not. If he wanted to miss out, that was on him alone. "Nothing," she answered. The shrug she gave, like that smile a moment again, was closer to an impression than a true shrug, yet somehow still managed to convey itself. "Not important." And again she watched him as he answered her, tilting her head in thought slightly as she did. He wanted quests? "Be careful of the wishes you make. There's always something happening at Hogwarts." Always. "Snap my wand for Wonderland?" She looked off into the stacks, silent and thoughtful. "No. Not for Wonderland. I'm not sure I'd want to be there permanently and I'm not going to snap my wand for anything less than permanent. Now, Neverland..." This time she did smile, dreamily. "If I could be Pan, as a girl of course...yes." But only if she could be a girl Pan.
She glanced back, catching his gaze, hiding in the corner of his eye. Quinn returned to studying him in that intensely curious and mildly probing way of hers.
