It was only a short one, but Theo clinged an extra while longer, to get a SNIFF of her hair, cos his bestie never got that far. Mmm..... strawberries.
"REALLY?" That deserved another beam, but Theo was suddenly unsure if Ella actually knew any other Slytherins. There weren't many in the 'cool' crowd apart from him and obviously the whole Quidditch team, but yeah, none that Ella really knew. Oh well, he wouldn't question her. "Do you think so? What if he steals all our stuff?" Cos his Omnioculars were in the common room, and they were Theo's prized possession! MEEEEEEEEEEP. Did she just say 'relationship'? Theo would only ever call it a 'friendship', but Ella thought they had a 'relationship'? This was big. So big, he knew he had to tell West about it later for his opinion. "I... Umm, yeah I guess I am." THAT WOULD DO.
It did sound awesome, but tiring. Imagine if someone hid on each floor of the castle and the seeker had to run up and down those stairs all the time to look for them. Maybe it should be a strictly outdoor thing. "Or we could stay in the grounds. If it wasn't too cold, that is." Yeah, cos hiding in the snow would NOT be fun. "I know." He began, almost going to touch her hand, but then decided that it was out of the question. "I feel bad for being such a numb skull all the time, but I won't anymore." Cos Theo was almost a teenager, which meant serious changes.
"Of course I am alright." Theo tried his hardest to at least move the subject swiftly on. The less they spoke about FEELINGS and BLEH-STUFF, the better. Also, was it weird that he felt strange about being called Theodore lately? Who would've EVER thought that?! Sheesh, the boy had a lot of thinking to do tonight.
Identity crisis or whaat.
YEAH, damn straight he was nice. And he was very happy to know that Ella was aware of it. It was a good sign, yo. "You'd MAKE me a sundae?" Theo giggled a little bit, purely because she would go to that much effort for him? Correct him, if he's wrong, but Theo was under the impression that Ella was getting a soft spot for HIM, too. WATCH OUT HARVEY. But then she like, got all excited about the crush thing. Theo pouted, "No." He said simply, not even looking at Ella in the eyes. In fact, he looked a little peeved off. "I don't like the feeling..." He commented. Cos yeah, going to the toilet a lot was never a good thing, even if it WAS to let off a big load.
Err.... what did she just ask him?
"Hmm?" He started, because that was always a good starting point. To pretend that he didn't QUITE catch what she said, nor was he too bothered about listening, you know? "Hair? Did you say hair?" Theodore shrugged, all casual-like. "I like hair, why?" Nothing suspicious to see here. His eye was caught by West leaving the hall with Penelope, and he returned the bro-nod. He'd have to grill his bestie about THAT later.
If Ella had known Theodore was lying to her, she'd have been VERY upset. Luckily for the lurky little liar, she thought the best of him so she had no idea he was deceiving her. She didn't even mind the clinging because Theo was her bestie and partner in crime fighting. She trusted him, silly girl.
"Really. I don't lie, remember?" And Ella smiled a little, surprised at how excited Theodore seemed about this. O__O Steal all their stuff? Ella's green eyes grew wide and she bite her lip nervously. She had THINGS she needed in her dormitory, things like her Granddad's pocket watch and the elephant stuffed animal she'd had since she was little. No one would take those things, would they?!
"I..." Blink.
"No...not our stuff will be fine." It
had to be.
"Mhm...so where would they lurk?" Go on expert, share your knowledge.
The grounds, eh? Yeah! That could totally work.
"Since it's starting to get quite nice out that's a really good idea." Cause it was quite warm most of the time and Ella didn't even mind the rainy days.
"I wish the Topiary Garden was still around...that would have been helpful hiding place-wise." Poor topiaries. Wait, what?! Theodore was insulting himself? ...Who was this kid and what did they do with the Lurker?
"Theo, you're not a numb skull." What was a numb skull, anyway?
"Don't put yourself down." Seriously, Ella wouldn't allow it.
"Are you sure you're okay? And you shouldn't lie to me...I'm your friend." Oh yeah, she was laying it on thick. Go on Theoman, spill yo guts.
Ella giggled, nodding her head.
"Of course I'd make you a sundae. I'm practically an ice cream expert and I like making sundaes for people." Nod. Nod. Nod. It'd be her pleasure, actually. ...And then he was angry with her? But hadn't he just promised he wouldn't be? Sheesh. This boy was having some crazy mood swings. Ella frowned, not knowing what she'd done wrong.
"I'm...sorry?" Though she wasn't sure what she did exactly to upset the boy. Shrug.
He'd totally heard her, Ella knew this cause they were sitting right next to each other. Besides, he was Theoman. He needed good hearing to hear distress calls and stuff, DUH.
"Yes, I said hair." Nod.
"Well I was just wondering if West likes hair as much as you." BROWS.
