Penny peeked at the Ravenclaw several times, trying not to stare, but definitely wanting to see if he reacted in a more pleasant way to her hand holding. And evidenced by that big, goofy grin she would say it was going over pretty well. Heh. A smile of her own crept across her face even. This was officially the best day ever! Given that the whole school was going bat poop crazy she was super glad to have a moment of normalcy to cling to... and the boy attached to her hand was DEFINITELY something to cling to.

And then it was as if every thought she had ever had in her head just leaked out... and she was at a loss for anything useful to say. Or intelligent. Or anything at all. It would seem, in fact, that the only noise that would escape her was the occasional giggle that was totally out of her control at the moment. This boy, this amazing, cute, smart, funny, AMAZING boy was stood there holding her hand and smiling about it. Best. Day. Ever.

And then he spoke... and Penny felt her tummy do a weird little flip thing. Did she want to study potions now? "No!" she answered probably too quickly and with too much gusto. But really she wouldn't be bothered to care about that right now. She was totally holding HANDS WITH HER CRUSH! Nothing was going to get in the way of that! Nothing at all! "No... I wouldn' like to do Potions... mebbe you'd like ta go fer a walk then?"
