Plus, it was hard to be sad when his Dad was around, especially when the older man had some father-son plans for the two weeks or so they were going to see each other.
The sixteen year old walked along the train corridor, his hands dug into the pockets of his shorts. He peeked into the doors of each compartment as he went, his eyes scanning for a certain head of blonde hair. She had been upset at the feast and they hadn't really had the opportunity to hug the sadness away. So... he was looking for her. Yeah. And Minnie too because... he had kind of promised the older Hufflepuff that he'd meet her on the train. The girl would be really--
Oh?
Alec paused a little and tilted his head as he looked into a particular compartment that had one Hufflepuff sitting inside it. Yeah, this was her. He could recognise that head of hair anywhere! The boy opened the compartment door as quietly as he could. She wouldn't... mind, right?
"You're getting quite good at hiding, you know," he said quietly, leaning against the compartment door. Ella had busied herself with tracing patterns on the window with her finger, eyes focused on what lay beyond the glass. She'd even started to hum
Imagine quietly, a sure sign that she'd relaxed a bit from the feast. A quiet ride home sounded really nice right now. Maybe...she could just stay in this compartment the whole time? They didn't
really need her in the Prefect compartment, did they?
The faintest of smiles played on the blonde's lips when she heard his voice and she immediately knew who it was. She shifted the tiniest bit so she could see him and tilted her head, taking him in. He was too far away, didn't he know?
"I knew you'd find me." She answered quietly, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
"You being a particularly good finder and all." And she was really happy he did.
"I really like your shirt." And, did he want to come sit? She tapped the empty space next to her and smiled a little bigger this time. Hugs, yeah? They'd agreed on hugs.
