'Tell me, tell me, tell me!' the Gryffindor said as soon as her bestie was close enough. 'What did he say?' she asked, pupils dilated and hair flying everywhere. 'About me I mean.' Just in case Gwen wanted to start talking about Jory's Arithmancy skills. As much as she fancied the guy, she just didn't care if he was good with numbers or not.
Hopefully Gwen would get straight to the point. It would make things easier on both of them, putting Ari out of her misery, but also helping the Ravenclaw move past 'sentimental stuff', as she'd say, once and for all.
Gwen was leisurely walking towards the place where her best friend was waiting for her. She was still a bit dizzy, but since her job was nearly done, how bad could this conversation be? The Ravenclaw was all calm, until…
O_____________o
...she noticed the Gryffindor getting hyperactive. Instinctively, the fifth year took a step back, since Ari’s reaction took her by surprise.
‘And hello to you too, Ari’, she said, getting all dizzy once again.
‘Easy there’, she tried to calm her down. Meeeeh. That had no effect. Ari still had the pupils dilated and all.
So now. What was the best way to tell her?
‘He likes you too’, Gwendolyn said curtly.
There. Straight to the point.
