Of course he recognized a blush when he saw one, but he couldn't help but call her out for it in one way or another. Honestly he was quite flattered that he had made her blush. Quite flattered indeed.
Will handed Penny a few pieces of the bread so that she could feed the ducks along with him. He gave a small laugh as she asked how Hogwarts was. "I'm still trying to get the hang of it" He said to her with a nod of his head. "I like it alright, but it still no home" He told her honestly. He was actually surprised that he had shared that bit of information with her. He didn't always open up so easily. "But enough out me, how has your term started out?" He asked her. "Other than of course the lack of being able to see me again of course" He added with a wink.
Dog gon'it! He noticed!
Penny gave a nervous giggle and shrugged. There was no use trying to deny it. She was tan but it never helped cover up her blush. It was kinda hard to not see when her face turned the same color as her hair. Her dad had always found it funny and strived to make her blush.
The Ravenclaw accepted the pieces of bread handed to her and broke off a few crumbs and dealt them out to a few of the ducks. She listened as he explained that it wasn't home. She couldn't sympathize with that. Penny smiled as he asked about her and cracked a joke.
"Oh it's been hard without your sharp wit to keep me entertained but I've managed somehow." She nudged him playfully.
"It's gone well so far. Classes have been a bit frustratin' with all of the pair and group assignments."
Penny handed out a few more crumbs while she studied William.
"It'll get better ya know? Just give it time. This castle tends to grow on ya."
