"They don't care, I told ya!" More ha ha ha's here. "You know, like," she tilted her head up at the ceiling as she was thinking and then back down to Aboli, "it's like if I talked about nargles all the time, people would think I was nuts? Well if they were to talk about m a g i c and my ~ m a g i c a l ~ boarding school to their friends, they FOR SURE would be hauled off to the loony bin." She laughed a little maniacally now. "So I don't have to threaten them at all. Just the fact that I go to HOG-warts is embarrassing enough." And wasn't the name itself kind of embarrassing? Like, boils on a pig?! C'mon!!!1
Bernie blinked at the head tap and advice coming from Aboli. Gosh, she almost sounded like a PREFECT. "Okay," she replied with FAR less glee. She DID note, however, that Aboli didn't know HOW her dad died, so, it was ENTIRELY possible that he DID die in a glorious battle-duel with some aurors.
Bernie was sticking to that story in her head.
She nodded along as they walked and blinked and nodded. "Those are kinda dumb rules." Right??????! Er, WERE they? Bernie's older brother had a lot of tattoos but she didn't, but she DID have her ears pierced, but only once, but also, she hadn't ever tried ASKING for those things, so... "Oh I can't have a pet EITHER," she pointed out cheerfully. "My mum's a nurse and a neat freak about cleaning and she says we all have ALLERGIES to ALL animals, even fish."
SIIIIIIIIGH. Bernadette was too busy sighing to notice the no-hands thing. Um, Blake, her only other friend, liked holding her hand? SO??! "We're almost HEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEE!"
That face!fall did not go unnoticed by Aboli. She felt a little bad for her, honestly, but she figured her honesty would be better in the long run. Hadn't she told Noah it was usually better to be honest unless you're trying to get out of trouble with an adult? Mhmm. But she thought she understood.
"Yeah. All my friends at home are muggles because...since I was homeschooled, I didn't very well have SCHOOL friends so...I had to not talk about stuff either. You think Hogwarts is embarrassing?" Or attending was? Aboli scoffed at that. It was NOT embarrassing, Bernie, it was COOL couldn't she SEE THAT?
"Even if you feel alone when you're home, when you're HERE...you've got so many other people like you. THAT is why I like Hogwarts." To an extent.
So Bernadette's mum was a nurse, which was...interesting. "
So she had to go to lots of schooling then. My mum's a therapist." she said with a nod...among other things. But anyway.
HERE THEY WERE.
The ~STONE GARGOYLES~! Aboli thought they looked rather grand and majestic.
"How do we...knock...do we just....wait?" she shot the Gryffindor a quizzical look.
"ALSO, when you said you wanted me to ask him...I was going to do so iN CLASS, Bernadette. Not traipse all the way here to bother him...but...alas. I'm sure he has nothing ELSE to do."
Ha?
