Jude came to a stop before the firstie, choosing to ignore her red face. Best to not draw attention to that should he embarrass her further. “No problem,’’ came his cheerful remark, looking to lighten the mood. “Yes, that’s me!’’ Ryder might be his first name but he’d always preferred going by Jude; there were literally two handfuls of people who knew this fact about him.
The Hufflepuff wrinkled his nose in disgust. “Imagine going to take a bath and finding tadpoles swimming around in the water.” He pointed further down the aisle. “I’d rather have to deal with the nose-biting teacup.” As for what he was doing here… “Just looking around. I’m not into pranks. My older sister is the one who got those genes.” Chuckling, he continued, “What about you? Thinking of pranking your friends?”
Delilah soon forgot all about bumping her head. It was only a minor injury anyway...if you could even call it that. Besides, it was best not to think about something so embarrassing for too long anyway. She made a face when he mentioned finding tadpoles in your bath water.
"Eww," she simply said.
"I think I'll pass." Why was she even in here again?
A node-biting teacup?
"Painful, but at least it's not disgusting," she said. She shook her head when he asked her if she was planning on pranking her friends.
"Nah. Maybe when I was younger, but it's not really my thing. I just came in here to look around," she replied.
"I haven't exactly been to Hogsmeade much. What's your favorite thing to do here?" "Now this I might like," she said, picking up a Sugar Quill.
"You ever tried one?" They weren't really a prank or joke. Not like most of the other things in this store anyway. She surveyed the collection until she found one she really liked, and then she plucked it off the shelf. Sold.
