| Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science! SPOILER!!: Bradley *brows* ..and Lottieluff Quote:

And despite the fact Bradley could tell that it was her after seeing her properly, there were a few things that were different about her, she was only 13 since they last met after all. "It's okay" he chuckled, glancing at the dog in her lap. More like a bit of cotton wool then a dog but who was he to speak? He had a bald cat for goodness sake and one that practically thought it was human. "Thanks" he mirrored her smile and glanced down at his lap. He had never been a great conversationalist. He was quite a nervous person at times.
He thought back to the football incident. It had been such a shock to see the ball suddenly fly across the room when Bradley had been thinking about playing. He wanted to get the ball but typical teenager, couldn't be bothered to get out of bed to get it. And suddenly it was by his feet, waiting. If he hadn't of seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. "Apparently. It ain't no big deal though right?" Because people could easily catch up on what they missed. "Yeah" he admitted shyly. "I ain't really sure what to expect" It could be drastically different from the muggle world or there could be tiny little changed. "I hope I will. I think I will" provided he had people there to enjoy it with. Which he obviously did have now. Though he relied on independancy at home and it was something he treasured. He hated relying on others. "Yeah. Yeah I know" he smiled nervously, looking out of the window as the train pulled away. He didn't realise how much he loved the people on the estate until he had moved away and barely seen them. And the Broadmoor family were some of those people. "I've missed you all" he admitted staring over at his cat. His old mates would probably laugh at that statement and the expression on the boys face but he knew Kat wouldn't. She was the sweetest girl on the entire estate, one of the sweetest he had ever met. "Thanks Kat. I appreciate it" he smiled genuinely. He really did. "How bouts we start with a tour when we get there?" his lips fell into a tiny smirk. It would come in useful in case he got lost.
The cat finally decided to make a move as she jumped off the seat and stared at the dog in Kat's arms. "Don't mind her. She's a bit weird but really friendly" The cat purred, wanting the attention for herself. "I think sometimes she thinks she's a dog or a human. Ain't a normal cat, I'll tell you that" But Bradley adored her. Katrina's cheeks began to cool a little and she managed to return her eyes to Bradley's and she smiled softly. He didn't say an awful lot, but that ok with Kat. People spent far too much time talking about nothing half the time. Kat couldn't really remember Bradley being the shy, retiring type, but then she didn't really hang around with her brother and his mates. She was much more self contained and quite content with her own company. She had an inkling she could be quite unintentionally irritating at times as well with her childlike enthusiasm for the world.
Kat's gaze drifted away from Bradley and outside at the movement of the train. She took a deep breath. This was it. There was no turning back now. It was a good job her mother had already gone or she would probably be in floods of tears right now as she waved to her. She was going to miss her so much. She swallowed, choking back the urge and looked back at Bradley when he spoke, pleased for the distraction of his company. She found a smile had plastered itself on her face when he requested reassurance from her. HER. Katrina wasn’t exactly the brightest spark. She shrugged her shoulders and giggled. “It might not be for you.. buh.. I ain' that quick to learn.” She confessed openly and honestly. “I fink if you can do muggle science an' maffs an' can remembah facts and history you'll be fine.”
It was very different from muggle schooling in Katrina's experience and it wasn't just because of the magic. “It ain' noffink like state school.” She told him. “You want for noffink. There's always food and warmth and...” Her eyes widened once again. “..It's SOO posh, Bradley! I sometimes feel a bit, like, out of my depth there.” She looked down at her lap. Oops. She was supposed to be being a comfort here, not putting Bradley off. “Everyone's dead nice mostly.” She added with a nod.
Bradley did seem terribly nervous. Katrina suspected even more nervous than herself. It made her warm to him more. He didn't act all tough and scary like the boys on the estate. Had he ever been like that? She couldn't recall. “Oh, we missed you too, Bradley.” She replied brightly.
The bright smile on Kat's face grew at the prospect of showing Bradley around the school. “Ooh.. I'd love to.” She nodded. “The grounds are like noffink I'd seen before. A huuge lake and mountains and there's this tree that tries to bash you wiff it's branches if you get too close!” Like, WOW! O___O . Kat had forgotten just how amazing the school was before she started enthusing about it.
So that bald thing WAS a cat! *giggle* Katrina didn't want to ask for risk of looking stupider. “She's so adorable.” Katrina said, looking at the shaven animal. She giggled as it stared at Fluff who opened one eye and looked at the odd creature before closing it again. “She's so different. I ain' never seen a cat like 'er before.” She giggled at the creature, reaching out a hand to tickle her behind the ears.
