 People I looove. -coughSammyandAshliecough- xD Wowza!
This was not the way Willow had been wishing for the term to start. Getting in trouble with Vindictus for arguing with Gavin, Terry taking seat beside her... Honestly, where were her friends? Sabrina, Issy, Eleanor. . . The sane people, in other words. Willow just felt like smacking her head against the wooden table. Who cared if she got hurt? She could always visit the Hospital Wing afterwards.
Feeling the presence of someone else taking seat beside her, Willow did not have to look up to see who had been, for as soon as a cinnamon scent filled her nostrils, she knew it was Terry. No one else she knew had such a--beguiling scent.
Mentally, Willow gave herself a good kick for thinking this.
"Indeed, I'm doing alright, Terry." Not. Well--if she were being completely honest with herself, Willow knew that she was better now. Why? She didn't even know, and to be honest, she didn't want to, for the fourteen year old was sure that she would not like the answer. "Yourself?" Being polite to Terry was not as hard as Willow thought it might be, and it felt good in its own way.
If this was the outcome of having Professor Vindictus around, then he should hang out around Willow more often.
With the corner of her eye, Willow noticed a very small and rather flustered figure taking seat in front of her. Finally! someone sane. Finally someone who Willow didn't have to question their table manners.
A grin of relieve spread across her lips, showing a set of pearly white teeth. Oddly enough, this make her look quite a bit like her brother.
"I believe you are a bit late, Issy, yes. What happened?" Agreed Willow, still smiling. Now she was not going to have to deal with Terry, Gavin, and Vindictus all by herself. Isabella Cortella was probably going to be a distraction for Gavin, seeing that Willow knew they were quite close. And Terry, well, knowing him, he'll probably flirt with Issy in front of her.
The single thought of this felt almost as if something was burning inside her stomach a little bit. Quickly, the fourth year ignored this feeling, and introduce the two of them.
"Terry, this is my friend Issy. Issy this is Terry." Willow did a pretty good job introducing people, if she did say so herself--and trust me, she did. "Terry here seems to apparently have forgotten where is the Gryffindor table located, of course." She eyed Terry's plate briefly, before adding. "That's the only thing I can come up with to explain his presence in the Ravenclaw table." Her tone of voice was polite. Almost too formal for a mere fourteen year old girl.
Of course that this was only because Willow had not forgotten Vindictus was there. She had to be polite in front of the head of the house.
