Forrest wanted to be dramatic and whisper 'This is Hogwarts, please don't die!' but he didn't want to scare his bestie; even though they'd met when she scared him. Instead, he just shrugged. He was so intent on eyeing them that he didn't even notice 'hoggy' part.

"Yes," he simply said as he frowned and looked back at her. "I was just lucky to get out unhurt." Ooookay, maybe the last part was an exaggeration. But what if he enjoyed her attention, hmm? There was nothing wrong in that... right? Right. He wasn't going to be any more dramatic though, because they had promised each other they would be honest.

They were too close. Oh well. She certainly wouldn't kiss him, so it was fine. He'd seen his brother kissing girls before, and they had been this close too. It was ew though, and Bristol didn't do ew. Instead, she was watching the armours, see? Hear that? So they'd better think twice before attacking him again.

"I don't even know what it is." He ought to select lessons this year, but he was far from being interested. It was ages till that time. Surely, sometime, he'd visit Professor Hadley. Or Airey. Maybe both. Now though, now his whole attention was on Bristol.

...and also on Fern.

He'd opened his mouth to answer her question, but Fern interrupted his thoughts and he pulled away from Bristol, back to her normal personal area.

"Fern, hi!" He grinned at the girl. He didn't bother to introduce them to each other though, since they shared dormitory and probably knew each other very well.

"We were just touring the castle," he said casually. "Have you seen around already?" If not, he could show her too.

'cos you know, he definitely enjoyed the attention and their impressed looks at him for knowing so much.
