Heather hurried a long behind her mumbling and muttering under her breath but not ruining the excitement she saw in the younger girls eyes. She herself remembered being excited for the train. It was more like coming home than coming home ever was.
Her red hair flew and Jezz ran right up to the younger boy and his mother. "Hello," she said nodding to the boys mum. "I'm Jezzabelle. Not sure what Cutty has told you." She turned to the boy. "Just like I promised you get to meet her!" She turned and face Heather beaming. "I've told her EVERYTHING!"
Heather huffed walking up to the red head. "You really shouldn't be shouting Jezz." She flipped her blonde hair out of her face and jerked the girls trolley out of her hands. "You nearly ran over five people on the way here."
Jezz stared up at the other woman. "Sorry." Smiling. "Heather, this is Cutty," she said waving a hand to the boy. "He's going to be my first year. I'm going to help him around the school."
Zuheir Mordaunt smiled at the girl. Cutty had, of course, told her nothing, but she didn't want to bring that up because she recognized the older witch accompanying the younger girl straight away. This was going to be a moment.
Cutty's brows sunk down on his face at Jezzebelle's last words. The way she'd said it. As if it were a common thing that they did all of the time. Taking on a first year and making him or her theirs for the entire term. What else had Antoinette planned? All of the worry was soon forgotten in any case as the boys eyes rounded at the sight of his all-time favourite Harpy standing there before him. Was it really her?
When Heather flipped her hair, Cutty could see diamond-like sparkles as the sun hit it. It also seemed to move a bit slower than the world around it. And, for a long time, Cutty said nothing, too over-whelmed by his emotions and too afraid to say something stupid. Finally, his scowl returned and he spoke.
"
Hi, Jezzebelle, and....Heathermalfoy." He said her name very quickly as if it were one, trying not to dwell on it, but instead making it sound all the more awkward. "
I went to all of 'em!" This last part was a little sloppy as well as he did not explain that by all of 'em he meant Malfoy's games.
This was going superbly.
