She eagerly took the phone number bit of paper and beamed at it, then at Blake, then back at the paper again. "Okay!" What a relief that his mum seemed organized and capable of planning things like international trips. Her own mum was... loosely organized, and Bernie knew her dad would NEVER allow her to go anywhere or do anything, so... Bernie would have to be slipping this paper to her mum on the sly without his noticing.
"I'll ask straight away when I get home," the Gryffindor promised, folding up the paper and tucking it into her pocket. "This could be SO FUN. I HOPE I can go!!!!!!!!!" And then a thought occurred to her, that she'd better ask before she started daydreaming about a trip that might not even happen. "Wait, what if your mum doesn't like me?! What have you told her about me, Blake?!" She reached over to poke him on the shoulder. Gently. Mostly. "You didn't tell her I'm a troublemaker or anything, did you?!"
Because Bernie wasn't. Things just HAPPENED to and around her. She was a saint, really. Call her Saint Bernadette.
Blake was happy to see that she was happy for the invitation. It was nice to see, and he really hoped they could work something about to go together. And then Blake blushed a rather deep red ...
"Well....." truth was what, hadn't he told his mom about Bernadette, he told her everything, the good and the bad ... the fact that he had a crush on her, the fact that she was his best friend ... he told his mom everything...
"I've only told her the good stuff I promise!" He made a little cross sign of his heart ... you now 'cross my heart and hope to die' kind of thing.
Honest, she really excited to meet you." He had the whole tripped planned in his head .... but that was if her parents would let her go. Allowing a 13/14 year old to travel to a different country with a friend who's a boy .. well that was bit much to as of parents he knew ... she he wasn't all that hopeful.
"Do you think your parents will let you come?" Blake felt her heart sink a little ... he was afraid of the answer.
