"Hey, bud, are you angry at me or something?" he enquired, totally oblivious as he handed his arm over for inspection from the 'Claw, to which Vickers grabbed it a. Little. TOO. HAAAAARDDD.
"OW!!!!" yep the 'Claw was mad at him. "VEE! BRO! NOT COOL!"
He grabbed his arm back and caressed it, trying to put on a brave face and pretend the pain wasn't bothering him. Breaking down because of pain was an unattractive trait, afterall. But then Vickers said that thing about the stump...
He didn't even react. He wasn't sure if the boy was being serious or not, but why on Earth would he JOKE about something like that!? His eyes started to get a little watery at the thought of losing his hand in replace of a HOOK! He all of a sudden felt extremely faint...
That was when he noticed the Gryffindor Prefect looking over his way, glaring at him. She appeared to be angry at him too, it seemed, after their shouting match. FINE! Everyone just HATE on Elijah! Hmph. He didn't even give her a glare back. He was still too upset at the thought of having a STUMP for a hand.
Hold. Back. The. Tears.
It was then that Alyssa appeared out of nowhere talking about his locket. "ARGHH! You SCARED me," Elijah was now most definitely convinced that the ENTIRE student body was out to get him.
"YES, I AM sure I want to wear it, because it is MY locket," he said rather rudely to her. It wasn't necessarily Alyssa's fault. Vickers and Kurumi had set the ball rolling with his bad mood and Alyssa was just unfortunately in the crossfire.
It was then that he noticed the inscribed word. "Hm...Ammmaaarrrantha," he spelled out. He realised people were looking, "Amarantha... after my Grandmother. It is my Grandmother's locket ya see... that was her name."
Why were people so interested that he had found this STUPID locket anywayz? Finders keepers!
Despite the fact that what Vickers said did make sense, Elijah was now annoyed with HIM because HE had been the one that sentenced him to a stump for the rest of his life (he just hoped Healer Tilstorm could work miracles) PLUS Elijah didn't much appreciate the 'Claws STUPID mood with him.
Then he noticed the exchange of smiles. Yep. RIGHT THERE. RIGGGGHT THERREE. Between Vee and Kurumi. They were smiling at each other. A lot of things seemed to be making sense. Vee must've been seeing Kurumi behind his back AND they were now both conspiring against him with this 'bad mood' act. It seemed so obvious now. Friends indeed. Well, that is what Elijah got for deciding to make friends this term. He made note that he would just continue as he had done before and be EXTREMELY attractive and good looking WITHOUT the company of people. People just got in the way.
"I think it is up to me what I do with the locket *I* found. The chances it is cursed is very unlikely," he said, sounding slightly defeated, making sure to whisper so only Vickers would hear. The others could continue thinking it was an heirloom of sorts.
Alyssa looked at Elijan suspiciously. She knew that the locket didn't belong to him but was not going to challenge him on that. She just hoped...for his sake...that it was just regular non-magical non-cursed locket. But somehow she had an uncomfortable eerie feeling that it wasn't. '
Where had that Bowtruckle picked it up from? It definitely wasn't from Elijah because he wasn't wearing it before.' Alyssa thought to herself.
"
Okay Elijah, it's yours. Please be careful okay. If you start feeling weird, get rid of it. There's been way too many weird things going on this term in school. I wouldn't want to see you in the hospital wing too."Alyssa told him still concerned that he was wearing that locket around his neck.
But for now, she decided to concentrate on what both Professors wanted them to do next. Would they be able to resume Transfiguration class now that the Bowtruckles had disappeared.
