| Who is who here?!?! Jimbo will set his turtle loose on you. { The Farley } "That's trademarked, don't use it." Quote:

Silly boy. But maybe that's why she liked him. 'Cause he annoyed her like how Robert does. Jimbo was cooler than Robert, anyway. So... he was allowed to ruffle her hair, for that reason alone. Except for when it was done all nice and neat. Then he was NOT allowed to touch it.
At Jimbo's reasoning for finding a swap like that fun, she rolled her eyes. Then she giggled. "You can't really dock points... Just sayin'. But you have fun thinking up all the antics you'd get up to as Head Boy." Y'know... there's a very good reason why Jimbo never got a Student Leader position... and he just said both of them. Hehehe.
For a little while, Iris didn't say anything, and instead just finished off the rest of her cookie. She'd have to thank Kurumi for making the Slytherin's those later.
She smiled, fondly. Monty. It was weird. She'd hardly heard that said at all in the last year. "I missed you too, Jimbo. You nutter. It was boring? Was that 'cause I wasn't around for most of it?" she asked, sticking her tongue out at the boy. "But! We have this whole year left. We can make sure it's not going to be boring. Especially with that ship on the lake... I think we need to go and check that out at some point. With Pirate hats. And swords"
Iris was being serious. Completely and utterly serious.
But only because she wanted to wear a pirate hat.
Even though it wasn't necessarily a pirate ship.  Typical Monty. Even now she still didn't fail to show her distaste whenever he ruffled her hair. You'd think she would have gotten used to it by now, but there was that everlasting nose crinkle that he loved.
And she never said he couldn't boss people around. That was definitely one 'antic' he could go through with.
His summer was boring and typical exactly because he didn't see Monty.
His mum and dad had been off in their own world the whole summer, spending a curious amount of time locked up in their room and during the first week back at home Jimbo had already lost count of how many times he was asked to leave the house for their privacy. And when the girls from his neighbourhood saw him out so often, they took this as the chance to tail him.
He'd have thought those darn annoying girls from his neighbourhood would have left him alone once they grew up and matured but it seemed that now that they were all older they were more stuck to him than ever. Last time he'd gone to the muggle mall to try and get away from them he'd actually heard them giggling outside the bathroom stall, daring each other to peek over through the door. He'd burst out of there, telling them they needed professional help if they had the gall to follow him into the boy's loo.
His muggle friends weren't any help though. They found the whole thing hilarious and thrust him into any situation where he might be crowded by the girls. Eventually, one of the girls had the courage to come up and ask him if he'd like to go on a date. He was so shocked at the idea that all he could do was walk away, an action which unfortunately made the girl cry the rest of the day.
He realized after that he might have said yes if it weren't for Monty.
Jimbo was exasperated by the whole repetition of his home life and spent almost every single day of the summer trying to have a good time with his friends before the girls made their presence known, thinking about Hogwarts and how long it was before he got to go back.
But now that's it here...
Shaking his head a bit, he pushed the thoughts aside. He was with Monty now, so he should enjoy it.
He grinned at what she said. "That sounds like something I'd come up with, Monty." He looked at her for a bit, thinking. If there was ever anyone to cheer him up... "Sounds like a great idea." he answered, "Can we decorate each other's pirate hats?"
He supposed he'd been too busy sulking over his last year that he hadn't even thought about going out with a bang and having his best year at Hogwarts yet. It seemed like a great possibility, that is, as long as Monty was permanently included in that. |
