He propped his elbow on it and leaned on his closed fist.
Smooth.
He glanced down at it, to make sure the spine was also facing away as he turned in his chair to face her.
"Sooo, enhancing enchant... no, enchanting enhancement- I mean.." His tongue tripped over itself, refusing to say the right words.
He grimaced and sighed. "Emrys," he said, sticking his clammy hand toward her, but refusing to look to see her reaction to his idiotic bumbling.
A smile grew on her face as the boy stumbled on his words until, finally, she was giggling.
"I see." Not important. And Ellie had half a mind to completely agree with him. The book clearly wasn't about Quidditch, after all, or she'd have recognized the cover. She's read EVERY book on Quidditch. Or so she likes to think. That's all she's ever really read, anyway.
She giggled again as he stumbled over words AGAIN.
"Entrancing Enchantments?" She raised an eyebrow. It
was a bit of a tongue twister, she supposed.
Ah an intro.
"That's an interesting name." Emrys.
"I'm Ellie." And Ellie didn't shake hands so...she just wiggled her fingers at him instead.
