Had he told her about that? Islay wondered as she thought about the lovely little crup she and Landen had been caring for over summer. Sure, it was a perk of well her dad being her dad and living there…but it was brilliant – the little pupper just made her heart siiiiiing as really any dog did. ”I can’t wait to introduce you to it – maybe over winter break? Or I could ask my dad to bring the pup with him to Hogsmeade?” she offered with a BIIIG smile – her eyes flicked to the slytherin table when she heard Stella’s words.

oh, come on how could he wink better than she could? Islay thought with a furrowed brow for a moment. ”Andrew,” she said his name almost as excitedly as he had called hers aaand she was being hugged?

wait.

This was not a hug.

Her brown eyes widened in what was most likely shock as Drew pulled her into his arms and…wow that was a kiss and a half. She wasn’t even sure if she had kissed him back or if she’d just stood there in bewilderment for a moment. ”I mean,…bellefeuille was more interesting because of you?” she offered with small smile, still somewhat startled to see that the spot in the slytherin table she had been looking at was now empty?...the brunette gave her roommate a look when she said her twin Lyra was now here. "have i met lyra?" she was asking even though her eyes were pleading her to talk later in their dorm...she just needed to digest ALL of what had happened - and she hadn't even gotten to the part of the feast with the food yet.
