| Legend, Lando, Zara and Sophie (kinda) Fortress of Brilliance ღ Mommy Quad A soft sigh escaped the Hufflepuff as Lando pouted a bit because of her straightforward disagreement with the boys antics. Really, could they not see the problem with swimming in a lake during winter? "Yes he did, and that's a good point; Have you seen Borr at school at all? If it were any other professor, including Headmaster Tate, you know they would be doing this kind of assigment with us." As in, this Borr guy was not only obviously off his rocker, but an awful teacher too. Hmmph!
Katie's dark eyes turned from the boy in front of her, to the one she was sitting beside, the corners of her lips twitching upward at Legend's words in slight amusement. "Not everything." It wasn't everything! She only blamed him when it was his fault. Not a problem? That was funny. "Uhhuh.. whatever you say, Legend." Just let them wait and see, when she was right, they would not be so ready to go jumping into freezing water again.
Watching the blonde Gryffindor shake his head, Katie knew she probably should have just let it go. They were grown boys, logically they should know what they were getting themselves into, but still.. it was her job to look out for them. She was the girl of the group, after all. The sensible one. And it took a lot not to snort at what Legend said next, "I believe the proper term would be woman, not girl, if you two are 'men'." Katie replied cooly, a small smile playing on her lips. She was seven months older than both of them, the eldest and therefore the first to become of age. She was certainly not a little girl, if Legend believed them to be men.
As for the rest of their discussion, Legend's insistence that she didn't know what she was talking about because she wasn't a man and Lando's pouting while he ate, Katie had dismissed the subject entirely. Rather suddenly, a small voice came from behind them, causing the curly-haired brunette to turn slightly right as Legend looked up and greeted the young Gryffindor lioness cub. Offering the girl a small smile, Katie nodded in agreement when Mister Prefect invited her to sit. "Yes, you're welcome to join us if you'd like."
Katie had felt Legend move beside her, if only very slightly, when Lando had kicked him. Slowly and quietly chewing on another piece of pancake, the seventh year glanced from the Gryffindor seated next to her, to the Gryffindor seated across from her and back to her plate, smearing the rest of her pancake in syrup. NOPE! She was staying out of this one. It was when Orlando spoke up again, that Katie turned her gaze to him, her smile growing a little bit. "Good." It was a bit amusing, him calling her 'ma'am' again. It was what he called her when they first met, up until she finally convinced him to just call her Katie. She was rather fond of it now. Turning her eyes back down, Katie played with her food a bit.
Somewhere amongst the conversations and eating, Lexi had decided to leave. Although she had said she had things to do, Katie was also fairly sure Legend was to blame, which wouldn't have been a surprise. It appeared to her that the Gryffindor girl didn't know how to handle Legend, but then this was the first time seeing their interaction, so maybe she was wrong? Not that it mattered. That was Legend's business, and nothing she was going to worry over. She had enough trouble just making sure he and the other boys made it out of school unharmed.
Resting her fork on her plate for a moment, Katie reached over to pour herself some water just as another girl came walking over and took Lexi's abandoned seat. It seemed her interest was with Legend, since that's who she was looking to as she introduced herself. Actually, the girl hadn't really even acknowledged neither herself or Orlando. Her dark eyes moved on to Lando, and catching his gaze, Katie didn't bother resisting the urge to roll her eyes, her nose wrinkling a bit in a classic displeased Katie Mae manner. The seventh year plopped another piece of pancake into her mouth.
