The spoon was halway to her mouth when Sal spoke and she hesitated a moment. "What do you mean still in one piece?" Had something happened to him? Mia belatedly realised that her spoon was still hanging in the air and she quickly put it into her mouth.
What was he talking about? What win? Oh right! Quidditch. How could she forget about that? Probably because as far as she was concerned that game was not all it was cracked up to be. And more to the point, it was rather violent.
"If you say so Salander." She said giving him a little smirk. Quite frankly she didn't really care who won the Quidditch Cup but it was fun to play along. "But from what I hear, so long as Jake is playing Seeker all the other houses don't stand a chance."
So there!!
This was good. Sitting here and talking as though nothing had gone wrong between them but the thing was it had and Mia just couldn't pretend that it hadn't happened. "I got your letter. And your gift." She peeked at him from under her lashes and quickly rushed on. "I wanted to say thank you. And that...I accept your apology. And I am sorry for..." Actually she didn't think she had anything to apologise for but she just couldn't help saying it. "Well I'm sorry too."
He just tore off some rolls when Mia asked about that bit about being in one piece. Ohhh boy, she doesnt know does she?
"I uh..... I meant that in a place like this you'll never know if some freaky mermaids would suddenly come up from the icy depths and tear you limb from limb, thats what I meant" he said jokingly then stuffed his face full of bread. In a way that was kinda what happened, except this mermaid had a uniform and spoke perfect English.
So Jake is the best Seeker in Hogwarts?
"Jake is a freak on the broom.... but then again so is Jimmy." he snorted. Well Jimmy was a freak on other things, to say the least.
"Be quite a match to see those two go head to head."
He took a sip from his goblet when Mia started to speak about his gift. He drank slowly and paused before saying
"It came from the heart Mia, my peace offering. Lets just close that chapter in our lives and move forward yeah?" He was about to take another sip before adding
"And I take it that your apology was for the pie in the face?" he grinned as he glanced slyly at the Hufflepuff brunette. Truthfully that was all water under the bridge as far as he was concerned.
