"The other houses are really jealous of us." She said winking.
She looked at her cousin with a concerned look, "Presley...you look like you've had a rough week. How's everything?"
Presley actually laughed out loud at Awar's whispered comment. Jealous? No way. Trying to prank more like.
"Oh yes, my house is so jealous of the Hufflepuffs," she rolled her eyes.
She could tell. Just by looking at Presley her cousin knew about her bad week? Hadn't this been the reason she'd ranted at Gwen? So she could get it all out and nobody would know her week had been so awful?
"I--" she started, then abruptly stopped.
"I've been okay." She lied. No reason to burden the eleven year old with all of Presley's screwed up issues.
"What about you? Have you been doing alright?"
