Beth simply let out a long, hard, dramatic sigh when Reese nixed the new nickname idea. Fine Reesey she simply thought at him as she practically stared at his face. ”Fiiiiine, no fun nicknames. I’ll get one for you one of thses days, I promise.” her promise was gold, he just didn’t know that yet.

”hey…c’mon, maybe the hat just…didn’t think you had a mean bone in your body?” she offered with a shrug, ”or its one of those bate-and-switch moments, make people think your harmless and then BAM you got them in a trap….like a man eating plant?” she offered with a grin – maybe he was like a venus flytrap. Wait no, he was a Hufflepuff.

He’d have to be like the sundew plant her cousin had! ”you could be like…like one of of those carnivorous Drosera plants? The ones we covered the like second week of school?...be all sweet and nice and BAM then it’d be all death by lollipop hugging?” she offered with a beam and yes, it wasn’t exactly a secret that Beth Greyvson was only slightly nerdy.
