With brown eyes wide as saucers, Braeden flailed about for a moment, completely startled at the sound of his name. Unable to keep his balance as he sat up far too quickly, the boy ended up falling back from the stone bench, landing on his back while his legs remained on the bench. Ouch.
"Aaarghh..."
As he rubbed the back of his head and pulled his legs down from the bench, Braeden looked around for the source of his earlier freak out. It was at that moment that he spotted a short girl with bright, almost-white, short blonde hair. His eyes nearly fell from their sockets.
"Charlie?" he asked disbelievingly, scrambling up to his feet and wiping the dirt off his uniform for a brief second before rushing over to the girl and taking her arm, helping her up to her feet.
But of course. Of course they would reunite in the clumsiest of ways humanly possible: with her in a puddle of mud, and him slipping from his bench to the floor. Of course.
Charlie took Braeden's hand and stood before trying to wipe as much mud off as possible. "Well. Hello Braeden. It's... ahem... wonderful to see you again." Charlie blushed, red spreading over her whole face. "Long time no see eh?" The Huffelpuff subtly eyed the Gryffindor boy noticing that while older looking he still had his wonderfully shaggy and apparently a great tan. "Out in the sun a lot then?" Charlie asked with a smirk, before remembering what transpired not two minutes ago.
Merlin pants, she thought with a sigh.
Great. This was just what she needed. To be completely covered in mud and for him to have fallen . . . "Oh Braeden! Are you okay? Did you hit your head? Do you need to be taken to the nurse? Oh Merlin, I am soo sorry!" Her hands flew to her face in mortification. This was just
perfect.
Hazel eyes peeked out between long fingers before drawing closed in a wince. "I really am sorry."
