"I am walking with you to the castle.' She nodded confidently. The girl stopped there, did he need a real reason? Or just the one that he amused her just so much to simply let him go without a proper goodbye?
Maybe both of reasons.
She chuckled suddenly, "Come on, Edric! It's fun! When was the last time you've been stalked by a girl?" Hmm? Louisa was a judgmental character but her guess of none about him had nothing to do with her personality rather than with his. "Okay, well.. that isn't why. I just see you intriguing." GRIN. "The way you don't give a damn about what the person in front of you feels about your sarcastic comments." Louisa had this grin still plastered on her face, "How you're just so independent and a loner. You're hardly impressed by anything at all!" All those were already checked in her ex boyfriend but only one Edric missed that made him less intense. That was yet to be verified though. "I like hanging out with people like that! No social obligations. No hypocrisy, just blunt all the time."
Was that enough of a reason...?
Louisa started rocking her body sideways as she looked at him from under her eyelashes, "So.. can I still walk with you to the castle?" Pweeeaase?
Pssshhhh. Suuuuuure.
Edric gave Louisa a 'yeah-right!' kinda look when she assured him she wasn't following him. What was she doing, then?
Just walking with him to the castle, apparently.
And then the girl went on to ask when he'd last been stalked by a girl. Well, that was an easy one. "Never," Edric replied simply. And he sure wasn't interested in having that experience.
However, Louisa had more to say.
Actually, she had a whole LIST to give him. Reasons why she
liked him (not THAT way, of course, he knew and she knew and everybody knew). This was something… well, something Edric had never heard before.
The funny thing was, though, that everything she listed that she liked about him was usually what everybody ELSE listed when they needed to explain why they
didn't like him.
Wow.
After the girl's whole speech, Edric had no choice. She'd caught his attention now, being so… well, different from everyone he'd ever met. "I suppose some company wouldn't hurt," the boy finally agreed, the tiniest hint of a smile on his lips.
He was flattered.
But he'd never show it. Of course not.
But he was definitely impressed by Louisa's speech. Which was a little ironic, seeing as she'd just pointed out he wasn't easily impressed.
And so, in the company of a new friend and her pet cat, the Gryffindor boy led the way back to the castle, this time slowing his pace and allowing Louisa to keep up with him without having to jog.
Maybe dinner wouldn't be so bad tonight.
The end! -Sniffle-
