Lily had almost forgotten what she had said in a haze until Vera quipped up. Her blue eyes swung to the girl and were filled with pain. She just hoped she hadn’t hurt her – that was never her intent. ” oh no, it's me ... I didn’t want to make a fool of myself, and then I did, and I’m sorry” she wasn’t panicking, but she was at the same time.

Fox’s attention question made the still quite spritely Hufflepuff want to flee behind the door's safety. Because she could hide in a locked room – right? right. Still, she wasn’t going to do that – it was locked. Putting her best face forward, she just shrugged her shoulder and glanced up at the older Hufflepuff. ”nothing too big ... i just had some” she cleared her throat ”fun with friends at the beach? The usual stuff and an awkward family party” there she had said it without saying it. Since there was no way, she could elaborate here about how awkward that summer had been.
