It didn't occurred to the young Lockhart that perhaps Arya just didn't want to go to the Hospital Wing? Well, he was starting to think so.
"A picnic?" he asked, bringing his eyebrows together for a bit. What was Arya talking about? He raised his left eyebrow and turned to the fireplace,
"What is it with you and the Hospital Wing?" the boy was reminded of the little Arithmancy session they had at the beginning of last year and she'd also have issues with it back then.
There was no other choice but to look at her now, and he'd caught the squinting, which made him smirk and chuckle at her words,
"I think he'd rather be on a picnic instead," clearly, the little Bludger could break the box if it wanted to get out, so, Arya could just keep the little Beater content as long as she didn't mention the words 'Game on'. It was all written in the instructions at the back of the box. Oh, did Arya fail to see those?
"And Aaron," he added, right. Not all on Treyen, even if he was the one behind the idea. He knew it wasn't a real gift for Arya, though, otherwise, he would've gotten her a pygmy puff for Perseus to entertain himself with.
"You're more than welcome, though," he smiled, and then eyed his badge on his robes,
"It feels weird, don't you think? Like, it shouldn't be there yet," the badge was practically yelling at him to grow, and to make decisions he didn't know how to make yet. Odd, but Lockharts tend to be slightly dramatic.
"Yes... we would be doing her a favor, getting her out of the castle for fresh air." Mmhmm. Arya was totally up for meeting the healer on the grounds, or anywhere really besides the hospital wing. She didn't acknowledge the look he was giving her, just eased back in her seat and pulled her legs under her.
He didn't know did he? She should... probably tell him since he was her co-prefect AND best friend. The others knew, and he needed to know to she supposed.
"I don't like hospitals." Any of them. She turned her eyes to the fire as well.
"They freak me out."
Heh.
"He would like to be on a picnic, could swing that thing at all the bugs in the grass." Maybe she'd take the thing into a tree with her and see how he fared against it. At most it would be entertaining. And no, Arya didn't see the instructions, she was too busy being distracted by the little person inside said box. Heh.
"And Aaron." Grinning, she shifted forward and gave him a thank-you hug, being mindful of her new gift. Even though it wasn't something she would ever ask for or expect to get as a gift, she appreciated it cause it was from her friends. If anything, it would look good on her bedside table with her pictures. Plopping back into her seat, she pulled her badge out of her pocket and ran her fingers over the surface.
"It's really weird... half the time I forget it's there. Like maybe someone else should be wearing it." Like someone older. She was still so young.
