You're the best Quidditch player at this whole school and you're only twelve. You'll win Gryffindor the House Cup for sure." He truly did mean it. The girl must've been playing ever since she could sit up, atleast flying around on a broomstick. He was pretty sure babies and little kid brooms, but he wasn't so sure. She was the only first year on the team last year, and he still thought she was better than anyone else who'd been on that field. There was no doubt in his mind she'd be a professional Quidditch player as an adult.
Christopher sat up really straight at the word 'Shakespeare.' He was quite a literature nerd, and could go on about it forever. But as Selina was clearly trying not to go on too much about her sport, he tried to do the same with his favourite author. "He's as amazing as he always has been for the past couple centuries!" The lion joked around, leaning back with a grin.
"I've been reading that book you got me for my birthday last year nearly everyother day. I've read it atleast eighteen times." It wasn't the most crazy or expensive gift, but it was by far the best he'd ever gotten. That book was his most prized posession, though he was never really attached to inanimate objects. He was all for saving trees and plants though!
Selina blushed at the awkward compliment. She was never one to handle compliments well and yet every now and again people would pay her one. She wished she could have been more gracious with compliments, but because she was usually the complimentor and not the complimentee she was unsure of how to respond. So she resigned herself to the best reply she could give.
"Uh, thanks. I mean I wish I were better since I've been flying since I was thre, but, um, thank you. Yeah..." It was the best she could do. Contrary to popular belief Selina exuded confidence in others... not herself.
When he made the comment about Shakespeare the little lioness laughed, "Of course, he's brilliant. Everyone knows that."
He brought up her book and a small smiled graced her lips, "I'm glad you liked it. I know it's old and everything, but my family's had it for generations. I thought I'd pass it on to someone who would appreciate it more." Of course she would not mention that it was one of Shakespeare's personal copies that he had given one of her ancestors, that would give him a heart attack.
