‘Of course I know Hufflepuffs- Jor… aaaa. Other than those two?’, she began saying, and, soon she added: ‘No’. Ughh now what was the name of that one on the train. ‘I think it started with a J too—‘ or A, B, C,D….’Janice?’, Gwen took a shot.
‘Look, I’m not going to screw this up, all right?’, the third year said curtly. Gulp- I’ll do my best… What if Jinx gets hurt? What if I do? What if Ari makes me laugh when I cast the spell and I do it wrong? All those (more or less) stupid questions were in Gwen’s mind at the moment.
Back to our discussion- ‘Yeah…’, Gwen said, trying to think why Madam Donovan left. ‘Ooow. Right’ Paid to care. Got it, Gwen thought but then looked back at Ari. Rising her eyebrow, she really hoped her friend would just stop rolling her eyes.
Oh goodie- muggle tea. Probably the only thing she liked about muggles. ‘That sounds great. Thanks’ *smirk*
As she glimpsed bak at the staff table, Gwen went on talking: ‘So what do you think about the whole Nimma story?’
'
It's not often that I see you blushing.' Or was she red with fury? Hmmm. Probably better not to exaggerate on that, if Ari had a silly middle name she would probably keep it a secret as well.
The Hufflepuff thing was too cute for words. '
So, after 2 whole years at Hogwarts, you know two badgers, Jory and someone only maybe named Janice.' Ari summed it all up, of course giggling in the process.
'Of course you won't screw it up. You rarely do. You're one of the best students in our year.' Ari pointed out, honestly a bit jealous of Gwen who somehow always managed to earn more housepoints than her. '
Ravenclaw for a reason'. she added.
'
My mum sends love, by the way. I got a letter from her already. How is your family?' Ari asked, remembering the fun she had with the Greenes during the summer.
'I don't know. It's pretty exciting really, I've never named an elf before, that's for sure.' the Gryffindor laughed, certain that Gwen would come up with a funny name in no time at all.
