She'd done it for over an hour sometime last Christmas; the neck cramp the next morning had been hell. She wrinkled her nose at the memory, suddenly incredibly glad that she'd managed to garner a little more sense since then.
"Ron Weasley?" she said, desperately trying to recall where she'd heard that name before. Or maybe she'd read it? Or seen it? She shook her head, trying to rearrange her thoughts that, funnily enough, were feeling more mixed up than ever these days. She looked down at the floor, then back up at Ronnie's face. "Is he famous?" she said, brow creased in thought.
She laughed then, shaking off her confusion and glad to let the pinkish glow creep slowly up her porcelain cheeks. "Thank you." she said, biting her lip as she smiled. "It's not my real name; my full name's too long - I forgot it a lot when I was little, even now sometimes, so everyone decided to shorten it to Hemo." She shook her head, giggling at her own stupidity before she pushed a few stray hairs away from her face and tucking them behind her ear. "Hester Nevada Monroe." she stated finally.
"I have a little sister." she said with a shrug. "She's six. And as annoying as hell." She smirked and cocked her eyebrows. "How about you?"
Hemo laughed. "Guinea pigs are amazing! Thank you." she said, grinning. "Definitely." She nodded, blue eyes wide with anticipation. "That is, if it's ok with you." she added quickly coupled with a sheepish smile.
"Okay, thanks!" Ronnie said with a smile. "And yes, he is famous. He was friends with Harry Potter....does that help?" she asked hopefully. "Oh and that is a really long name! I think Hemo is good enough for me to remember." she said laughing. "And sure I understand your sister can be annoying to you." she said. "I've always wanted a sister, but I was stuck with
seven brothers." she said with a laugh. "Let's see...there's Alan, he's 17; Tony he's 15; Malachy who's 19; Ben, he's 14; Robert he's 13; James who is 24; and Rupert who is 22." Ronnie said laughing.
