"Hi Lucy." she replied politely but genuinely. An awkward silence passed between them. Yep... definitely another awkward turtle moment. She took a deep breath, and as she exhaled, words spewed from her mouth.
"Look Lucy, I can understand why you or... any other person in the world for that matter wouldn't like me, but there's something you need to understand about me. I was basically locked away for two and a half years. Until I came here this year, I hadn't spoken to or seen anyone my age since I blew up the Hufflepuff Common Room in the middle of my first year..." she probably should have explained this, but in her awkward rush to make Lucy understand, she didn't.
"So, when I got on the train, things got really difficult and confusing for me and I didn't know how to act about anything. I acted really stupid and immature about Tyler, and I know that. I still don't understand why sometimes I do the things I do, but please know that I'm trying to understand them. I don't like Tyler like that anymore. It was just a... a confusion thing. I know he's not a good fit for me in that way, but he was just really nice to me when I first met him, and has helped me a lot since we've been here." Finally she took a breath and looked at Lucy with pleading eyes, as if begging her to understand, to accept what she was saying as the truth.
