A soft singing voice could be heard from a balcony. Somehow the sound was familiar, but Leah could not remember who it was. She headed up and saw an older girl singing while polishing her toenail. Orchid. Nice choice of color.
As Leah walked near, she realized who the other girl was. It was that annoying second-year Hufflepuff who shoved her at the staircase. Well, she had concluded that they were even now. Hoping that the other girl was thinking the same thing, she approached her. "Mind if I sit here?" She asked, sitting down next to her. "Could I borrow some nail polish? I could do with tidying up my toenail."
Fern was in her zone.
Her toe-nail-painting-me-time-zone. Emphasis on the me-time.
She was not expecting any intrusion into her zone, but she should have known better. Actually, she should have been thankful. The sudden question only caused her hand to slip a little, getting polish on her actual toe. Had the interruption been caused by Cuthbert, it would have probably resulted in her getting polish on all her toes and undoubtedly her face as well.
But Fern wasn't thinking this through, so she raised her head to snap, 'NO!' at the - THE GIRL! THE GIRL WHO SHOVED HER! LEAH THE HUFFLEPUFF! WHO WAS JUST ASSUMING FERN WOULD HAVE SAID YES AND WAS TAKING A SEAT ON HER COUCH!
AND WAS ASKING FOR NAIL POLISH!
WITHOUT SAYING PLEASE!
Fern's face contorted into a look of disbelieving disgust. Who did this first year think she was? Did she think that she was Fern's BFF!?
"NO you cannot borrow my fingernail polish!!"
