That wasn't entirely true, but he definitely would at least panic and likely start hyperventilating. He hyperventilated most times he panicked anyway.
Alfred went back to thoroughly looking through the
laundry to find this chameleon. He checked everywhere, including the pockets. He looked up when Lisa handed him the tissue packet, but he turned it down. "You can keep it." He had another in his pocket anyway. "Yeah, me and my uncle have a tabby cat called Pepper. He didn't let me bring it to school though." His uncle was very attached to it, and thought Alfred would lose it in the castle somehow. Alfred lost a lot of things, so it was probably justified.
“
It’s smart.” The tissue carrying thing. Practical too if you had allergies.
She was taken aback by Alfie’s comment around that he probably would cry too. Wait. Really? She hadn’t taken him for the type to cry- honestly she expected Daniel to be the next one to cry. If she had to choose an order of most likely to cry to least likely to cry out of the first years... it would be: V > Remy > Daniel > Her > Ollie > Jasper > Serena > Max > Alfie. Scarlett was still a wild card so she was not ranked. And she wasn’t entirely sure how Hufflepuff Alfie would fare either. So jury was still out on both of them. She mulled over what to say next as she tossed socks behind her. Finally, she spoke once more. “
I never pegged you as someone who’d cry... I cry more out of frustration than anything. I should be better than this... Y’know?”
She flushed again at his kindness. “
Thanks,” she said as she slipped said tissue into her pockets. Oh? He had a CAT. Well co-owned it with his uncle? That was exciting! A smile appeared on her lips when he mentioned the name. “
I like the name... Did you name it after the spice or the Marvel character?” she asked eagerly. “
Or something else?”
Out of the corner of her eye, she thought she had seen something move so she got to her feet and leaped towards the next pile. Darn.... nothing. She sighed.
