And Presley wanted her to be sympathetic, or at least pretend to be? Errr. ‘Now?’, the fifth year asked. She wasn’t good at pretending anything, but meehhh. Whatever. Her reading time was over, so she might as well accept to be part of this silly plan. ‘Anyway, fine’, the Ravenclaw agreed. She wasn’t sure what her Housemate was up to, but since it implied having to pretend she was sympathetic, the idea didn’t seem so great.
In the next moment, Gwendolyn closed the book, putting it to the side. Before drawing her attention back to the other Ravenclaw, the fifth year glimpsed one ore time at the cover of the book she had been reading a moment ago. Before people started interrupting her.Fine. She will have to leave Potions for later.
And now.
What did Presley want?
As soon as Gwen agreed to pretend to be sympathetic, Presley launched into the whole thing, hoping that the little bugger hanging out with Gwen either didn't care, or wasn't listening.
"You know that last year my father forced me to go to Beauxbatons Academy? Well I got into a huge fight about it, and ran away. I went to my brothers house, and he told me to grow up, but my father won't let me back until I apologize, which I'm not going to do. He cut off all of my funds, including dance lessons (which you know I can't live without). And Leo is getting married, so I won't even be able to beg him, because he has a fiance! So I had to spend the whole summer with my muggle aunt and her three bratty kids, and now Elliot is mad at me, and I'm going to despise the astronomy professor this term, and I still can't manage non-verbal spells!"
She gave Gwen the shortest version of her troubles, because she knew the other girl didn't want to listen to her complain, and was only doing it as a favor to Presley.
"Okay, be sympathetic for me?" She asked. There. Short sweet, to the point, now go for it. At least it might give her a smile to watch Gwen try to be sympathetic.
