She hadn't seen her friend in a long time. Too long of a time. "Emma!" The girl's face broke out into a grin and she beamed up at the tall Slytherin. "I'm great! I've been scheming a lot. And I found a partner-in-crime! And I'm in the process of getting a second one." A lot had happened since she had seen the snake last.
"How are you? How's your boyfriend? How is life?" The third year started launching questions at her friend. She had seen Selena more often than Emma this year. She suspected it was because Emma was studying for the NEWTs. She was too practical. "Have you been studying? Have you schemed lately? Where have you been?" Ohkay. Maybe she should let Emma answer now. Pause.
Breathe.
Emma smiled as Alice hugged her back. Aww, Alice had missed her too! Emma raised an eyebrow and beamed like a proud older sister as she learnt that Alice had made progress. "
Scheming a lot? That's wonderful! Two partner's in crime? Congratulations. You three will definitely be unstoppable when you guys team up and prank," added Emma with a warm smile. She was so proud of Alice. And before Emma could say anything else, the young blonde was firing a ton of questions at her. Interrogating mode, much?
"[B]Woah! Woah! Woah. Slow down there, Alice, for a second please![B]" asked Emma as she held her hands up in the air, trying to process what the girl had said. Right. Emma nodded and began answering Alice's question's. "
I'm well. I just have been very busy. Braeden's wonderful. I saw him over Christmas. It was a blast. He's doing very well. Life is going well except very hectic. I'm trying to balance studying with a social life," admitted Emma with a small smile as she continued to explain everything that had been happening to her. She paused slightly, taking a deep breath.
Then she continued. "
Yes, I have been studying. I've been stuck under a pile of books. Seventh year is an exhausting year.. And sadly, I haven't schemed lately. Perhaps we could do some scheming together later? ... And I've been under a pile of books. Where have you been? And how have you been?" asked Emma, turning all the questions to Alice. Hehe. It was Alice's turn to face the interrogation of the Malfoy.
