 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Ugh. Jude and Mouse could be biased by that perfect guy together. Jude knew already that he couldn’t see his life with Dav being in it so he was perfectly happy to be biased for as long as he lived. There was yet another laugh from him; he really loved Mouse’s Disney references and he thanked the stars that he was able to understand them all. As for her being reluctant to open up, well… that was understandable. If not to him, then he hoped Mouse be okay enough with discussing all the things that bothered her with Davet. Jude would still be here if she ever needed him. “Hang on. Cosette Durand? As in Davet’s maman???” No, impossible. Davet’s maman, whom he had come to love SO much, was a quiet and gentle soul.
The Hufflepuff snorted. “Sounds like a challenge. It’s on, Minnie Mouse!” Loads and loads of cups of hot chocolate for them this evening then!
“I’ll be holding you to that, professor,’’ the seventh year said, grinning. Maybe he’d even show up to her office sometime to remind her. Would that be considered stalking? Oops.
Then Raj joined them and Jude was agreeing with Mouse about Raj knowing all about a dragon’s firey breath. One did not spend a whole lot of the previous summer giving Bryony Paton dance lessons without the young cousin going on and on about Raj’s brother and the dragons and hippogriffs.That girl was obsessed with Aryan. “And do you want to join us at a telescope?” Jude was already bustling towards one because the shower was starting. He was actually walking backwards to the thing because his gaze was fixed upwards, his face glowing with excitement about the meteor that zipped across the sky.
Jude was so happy, so at peace in this moment that nothing {except maybe for the certain insecurities that plagued him every once in a while} could alter his mood. |
