She shrugged at his refusal of cookies. They were amazing and it seemed silly to her that he could't have cookies while working, but she didn't know all of his rules. "Well, thank you again." Her eyes were completely dry and only slightly red rimmed. She munched on another cookies, making sure no crumbs fell to the floor.

Shifting to the side, she slid past Tippin and out the door. "Really, thank you, sweet Tippin. I'll get out of your way so you can finish the chores. And please do tell Schmoop the cookies are the best." She smiled, wanting more than anything to give him a hug, but she didn't know if house elves like being hugged. Instead she did a sort of awkward curtsy, giggled, and hurried off towards the Hufflepuff common room. It was time she got back to her studies.
