She was good like that. Mia could keep a secret.
"Now see..." She began with a smile on her face. "I'm not so good at the working hard thing either. I tend to be rather lazy." Only if something really interested her, would she then make an effort.
Suck out your soul?
Mia looked slightly horrified for a moment. "Well thanks for telling me that Jake. I feel so much better about taking my OWL's now."
NOT!!!!!!
"Not really. Parents split," Jake said simply, and looked up to the staff dias yet again, his eyes being characteristically darty behind his sunglasses. The young man screwed up his face almost in concentration as he stared at Tate... but he wasn't concentrating on the speech.
Afterwards, Jake looked back at Mia.
"A lazy Hufflepuff? I thought we were meant to be hardworking," Jake teased, knowing that not all the traits were present.
Jake listened on and, as always, he didn't get the sarcasm.
"Really?" he smiled, thinking he'd genuinely helped.
"That's great!"
