Why did he find it okay to laugh? He was being a bully. A great big MEAN bully. Laughing at his own spellwork. Hpmf.
God, she was practically begging him, wasn't she? Iris sniffled a bit, and looked up, suprised as he stopped laughing.
"What?" Iris asked him, looking at Jimbo funnily. What was he trying to say? Jimbo looked kinda startled at Iris' crying. And so he should! He'd caused her crying!
Iris ignored him completely, and sat, looking out the window at the platform. She heard him say something, or make a noise of somekind, but Iris never looked away from the winder. Even when he came into the compartment and sat next to her, she still ignored him. Iris just scooted away from him and inch or so when he sat down. When he spoke up, Iris looked to him, her eyes all red and puffy. Damn sensitive skin, she wasn't even crying as much as it looked like she was.
"It's... It's not something you can choose not to do, Jimbo." Iris half noticed that she was calling him "Jimbo" out loud. She hoped that he noticed that, too... She didn't really want him to think that she was really actually mad at him. She never noticed that he went to put his hand on her shoulder.
As Jimbo took out his wand and closed the door and blinds, Iris looked at him, confused. When she realised that he was doing that for her privacy, Iris half-smiled.
Iris flinched as Jimbo reached out for her scarf. WOAH. Why was he touching her headscarf? He wanted to laugh at her again, didn't he?
Hmpf, idiot.
Well... he wasn't laughing, so Iris figured that he wasn't about to mock her anymore. In fact... he looked sooooo guilty. Like ... HONESTLY guilty. When he aimed his wand at her, Iris flinched - again. She didn't even KNOW why she kept flinching... It wasn't like he was going to actually hurt her. Not on purpose anyway.
Jimbo muttered some charm that Iris had never heard before, and she could feel her hair growing back at the sides rapidly. It felt weirder than it all dissapearing, but it felt amazing at the same time. To Jimbo, it probably looked like he was watching one of those time lapse films that they do with plants growing. She looked at him, and slowly, she lifted her hand to her hair...
... it felt like it was all there, and her hair felt just how it did before.
Iris took a mirror out of her pocket; y'know, the kind that flip open into two little round mirrors; and held it up to her face, to examine her hair.
You couldn't even tell that she'd ever had an awfully green mohawk.
Thank Merlin for that.
As she looked at her reflection, Iris could feel her eyes watering up again. She heard Jimbo apologise quietly next to her, and Iris looked at him, closing her mirror. "It's aight..." She said to him, wiping her eyes, "Just ... Just promise me you'll never, ever do anything like that to me again."
Watching her hair grow back to normal was actually pretty cool. It had a really cool in-between colour when it went from green to blond. And her hair grew back really gracefully and it was really pretty too. The way it came down and framed her face nicely. And now that her hair was back to normal, she looked even prettier than before when she had that scarf on her head.
Jimbo watched as she looked in her mirror and he noticed that her eyess watered again. With happiness to have her hair back? Anger that Jimbo had done it in the first place? She wasn't going to forgive him, was she? But then she did, and Jimbo couldn't help but smile a little.
"The...the green mohawk didn't suit you." He was trying to make light of the situation, but it might've been too soon. She could still be a little sensitive. "You're not still mad are you? I mean, don't think of the hair, just...think of butterflies. Pink ones." Even though he'd been forgiven, he had to make sure. He lifted his wand again and conjured up butterflies like the one Monty had so long ago. He directed them towards her and they circled around her.
Jimbo looked at her seriously, "I promise I won't ever do anything to your hair ever again." He meant it. He really did. After seeing her this way, he didn't want it to happen again. She had seen her incredibly furious and incredibly sad. One was scary and the other was just as frightening in a completely different way. And it made him sad to see her sad. He didn't want that to happen again.
Now a change of subject, because he just realized he had been staring at her a little too intensely. He blinked, thinking of something to bring up. "Hey, I just got a load of candy from the food trolley. Want some? I've got enough to feed a stampede of animals." He reached in his left pocket for the food he left there and came out with Pebbles and a whole bunch of empty candy wrappers. "Oh. Damn. Pebbles. Sheesh." SIGH. Pebbles just ate all the candy in his left pocket. What a greedy turtle.
He held out Pebbles for Monty to hold and reached in his other pocket, producing loads of colorful candy to offer to her.
