And then the girl turned to look at him with eyes that suggested that he was in trouble. Deep trouble. He only asked her if she was okay! Nothing else. Or did people not liked being asked how they are? Was this some kind of new offensive greeting he wasn't aware of?
"Oh. You cat probably likes you a lot," he said, looking at the cat that had now walked over towards him, "I like your trainers, by the way." See? He was only being nice. No need for any scariness. Him? "I'm... erm, nervous?" he said, looking sheepishly up at the girl. She was pretty tall. And scary. "I'm starting a new school today," he added in.
Still looking at the boy sideways, Louisa watched her cat rub herself on his leg. "
She loves you more, I see." Louisa's tone was normal. Too normal perhaps. "
She never rubbed herself against me." Probably because Louisa always pushed the cat away from her newly body-lotioned skin.
And.. he was nervous? A FIRSTIE! Louisa Carter was talking to a firstie! But she was fifteeeeen and oooold and tall and everything. However, this boy wasn't like any firstie. He had a very calm and rational attitude. Most importantly he wasn't jumping up and down in excitement and racing some other ickly kids to the train or something silly like that.
"
Your first year at Hogwarts, huh?" She turned slightly to face him. It meant he gained her attention now that he was a firstie AND an unsilly one. Totally a word. "
I'm a fifth year over there." A VERY hesitant moment passed before she did the inevitable, "
Louisa Carter." Tadaaaa! Without hand shaking. His hand could be stained with sticky candies that children kept munching around.
