 Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
Drake was more than happy to have been able to share his interests with Aryan the way the other boy had shared his with him. While he was certain it was nice to connect with someone on something both parties already were really into, Drake also was partial to the fact that the boys' friendship was so important to each other that their interests were shared together even if it hadn't been something they'd already gravitated towards naturally. The fact they both enjoyed both things, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology, was just a cherry on top of the sundae. Drake felt really lucky to have ended up making a friend like Ary - and the fact they'd been dormed together was truly a DREAM.
The summer plans were bittersweet to make. He was really, really excited to get to see Aryan's home and everything, but he was also truly saddened about the fact they wouldn't be sharing the same room. And at the mention of Bryony coming too - which he of course didn't MIND considering he didn't have anything against their fellow snakette - also made him a bit nervous. He wondered if Aryan noticed the fact the pair didn't seem the thickest of thieves, or did they do a good enough job of getting on in his presence it went by unnoticed? He hoped that. He certainly didn't want to worry the boy, and he was sure Bryony would have been of the same mindset. Reaching forward for a book he'd left on the bed earlier, something Care of Magical Creatures, he opened it up, upside down at first and it took him a moment of scanning through the pages to realize it, before he flipped it again and shoved the page to his friend. Changing the subject was the best way to not show discomfort, right? "Can you show me what type of creatures are on the reserve?" He asked, pushing the book gently towards him again. "I like the mirror idea. Let's pick one out at the beginning of the summer!" He was sure he could convince his Mom on that. And maybe if Ary's dads were busy, they could take him along with too! "Okay! I'll let you know as soon as I confirm with Mum!"
At his name and the following comment, Drake gave a small "Oh!" before quickly lifting his head. "I'm sorry! You're all wet now too!" He replied, reaching for the towel he'd been using earlier in order to put it on Ary's head and fluff his hair a bit. "Sorry about that!"
