 Avaritia, Animi, Gula, Caute ... Don't Cross the Book | who turned out the | Lights Lennox
Lus grinned at Avaritia as he displayed a little bit of genuine feeling for someone else. "Nope, just a second-year getting freaked that she could see a big dragon/horse thing and her friends didn't see it." Lus could see the thestrals - she'd been at her grandpa's deathbed when she was thirteen, and had seen herself the light fading from his eyes and his body sag as his soul had left him. The thestrals didn't intimidate her anymore, but she clearly remembered seeing them for the first time and not believing her eyes. "Nothing I can't handle."
Glancing around again, Lus' eyes alighted on Animi's just as he looked over at her. This time she kept looking after he looked away. Had he been looking at her more times than was necessary tonight? Yep, yep he had. Lus smiled to herself, then realised she was still looking at the Gryffindor table and turning her attention elsewhere before Avaritia noticed.
Her eyes went to the Ravenclaw table next, and saw Gula looking their way and blushing. Lus looked quickly back at her brother, and noticed him preening. She shook her head in wonder. Gula and Avaritia? Hmm ... she could kind of see that working. And maybe Gula could work on Av's world domination plan too ...
It was official. Lustitia Avril Hodges was playing matchmaker.
"Okay, come on," she announced, taking Avaritia by the arm and hauling him to his feet. "We're going to visit my friends." She led him to the Ravenclaw table and took a seat next to Caute and Gula, pulling her brother down too. "Hey!" she said, smiling at the two girls. "You two have nice holidays?"
