Mia knew those looks well. Destiny had constantly given her looks when they were on safari together. And quite frankly the girl should be grateful that she was actually sitting here in the Great Hall. If it hadn't been for Mia stopping her from stealing all those animals, she would probably be in jail right now.
"As a matter of fact I have been poked with a fork." Those kids in the commune could get a little ferocious when they were hungry. "What does that have to do with anything anyway?"
The elves worked in the kitchen. And forks came from the kitchen.
She was being congratulated.
*BEAM*
And, even though, somewhere in the back of her wonky brain, Destiny knew that she wasn't really Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, she still felt that she deserved all the congratulations she could get. No one, no one but her and Carter knew what she had to do to get the badge. It was like she had to wrestle the badge out of Carter's yeti-like grip. And she knew how strong a yeti's grip was; her brother worked with them after all.
"Why, thank you, Mia." She went back to fiddling with the badge on her robes.
"I don't play Quidditch, that's what makes this badge extra special. They knew I'd be a good Captain." And Carter didn't know but, she was going to be at all his practices.
"Do the Hufflepuff Gobstone players wear shiny badges?" The Slytherin's never did.. and she played for them sometimes.
Destiny cringed. She didn't know what it felt like to be poked with a fork, but she had been hit over the head with a spatula once. And
that hurt.
"Do you have scars?" Fork scars. Scoffing, as if the answer to Mia's question was the most obvious thing in the world, she picked up a fork, and began making jabbing motions towards her friend with it.
"Imagine I am a house elf, and you are me." Jab, jab, jab.
