Oh well... her classrooms were usually under a tree or in the forest. Who was she to complain about a little dirt?
Iliana gave the nurse a appreciate smile but shook her head. "Ellie, you're a dear but I don't mind standing. Honestly."
She sipped at her water and glanced over her shoulder at the men's table. "That's a great idea," she answered. "I've hardly seen Max all term." And she was dying to get away from all of these kids.
Hearing her name, Iliana jumped slightly as she was pulled from her thoughts. "Sorry," she said. "I'm right behind you."
Hearing Ili mutter the word
gross, Gabriella turned to see her friend wiping off the rim of her glass with a handkerchief. She laughed lightly then leaned in a little closer.
"Isn't it disgusting?" she asked.
"I had to clean mine off, too..." She peered down at her glass, which was now cleaned off, and took another sip of butterbeer.
"It gets better once you do the cleaning, though."
A moment later, the two women had reached the table Max and Neo were seated at.
"Hey, Max, Constantine. Mind a bit of company?" she asked. She didn't think either man would actually mind, but she thought it polite to ask anyway.
