By then, she was in front of him. "Hey you! Long time, no see." Ellie grinned and gave the lion boy a hug. She missed him! Seriously, it felt like they hadn't seen each other in years. And he looked like he grew a foot. Either that or Ellie shrunk, but she was just short anyways.
Ellie laughed at his comment. Fancy indeed. "Yes, it's quite stra-HEYY." Ellie suddenly realized. "I need to have a word with you, Mr. Stonem." She said with a serious nod.
Braeden grinned as Ellie greeted him with a hug, returning the gesture and lifting the girl a foot or so off the snowy ground as he did so. He also did notice the height difference. Huh. It was strange, it seemed most of the girls he knew just kinda shrunk over the summer. Weird. Must be a girl thing.
Of course, what was really going on was that the lion boy was getting taller, but he was too dull to see it that way.
The Gryffindork watched with amusement as Ellie laughed at his comment, and his eyebrows raised in surprise as she suddenly changed the direction of the conversation. Apparently, she needed to have a word with him.
… A word?
Gulp.
Over the past couple weeks, Braeden's learned phrases like this usually DON'T lead anywhere good. So, obviously, he was immediately concerned. "Did I-- Did I do something?" he asked, brown eyes a bit panicked.
