She couldn’t help but laugh as Eden knocked her jar over. “Then again, you ain’t a particularly great babysitter either.” The unladylike snort that escaped her nose followed but she quickly covered it up.
Urgh, cleaning them.
It wasn’t that Layla was scared of getting mucky, in fact she couldn’t care less if she got dirt on her but she hadn’t intentionally signed up to all this when she accepted the school letter. Still, she was giving everything a go and being a fairy cleaner was obviously part of the job description. Or student description. Whatever. Eden let her fairy out of the jar to stretch their wings and she followed in hot pursuit. “I know you like bein’ all showy and stuff and lookin’ pretty so make sure you come back to me in a bit.. Cos I really don’t want to fail in my first year.” Seriously. They got a quick look as well before Layla struggled to push out a smile. The jar of the lid was unscrewed as the fairies flew out and around her head. She watched for a few seconds before turning back to her dormmate.
She didn’t believe her one bit. Eden appeared to have a crush on all the male faculty in this school and being the observant Ravenclaw that she was Layla certainly noticed. Her eyebrow raised a little as a small smirk fell across her face. She didn’t make anything else of it though due to the fact that Eden looked annoyed which did make it funnier..
Oh great.. Now Eden was naming HER fairies too. And she gave them the most stupid of names too. Duffy and Snook?! “Couldn’t you think of better names than that?” She’d also named her Fairy Fred which didn’t comprehend in her brain. Her brothers brother-in-law was called Fred and he was a tall lanky fella, the complete opposite to these fairies. Her pair of fairies were still flying around her head and letting out small giggles and the high pitched buzzing that was familiar with the species. She found it a little irritating but she wasn’t going to vocalise that.
Eden reiterated Layla’s words and she nodded in response. Cool.. Guess they’d have to start the cleaning now then.
Eden nodded.
"I get that--I do--" she grinned, though.
"I'll babysit for you, love." She said and she shrugged as she watched her fairy from the corner of her eye. Fred wasn't flying TOO far from her.
The three fairies were flying around in circles of each other. They looked like they were playing, and Eden smiled. It was just too precious! She grabbed her wand, though, and began to clean out the jar...with the cleaning spell!
"Scourgify!" she said softly, and the jar began to get nice and CLEAAAN. Hehe.
"Did you know that one?" she asked Layla kindly.
"That one cleans stuff. It's quite handy. Mam wishes she could do magic just so that she could clean the house with it." She said with a shrug. One day she'd clean the house with magic for her Mam so she wouldn't have to be so tired all the time.
As she squirted some water into the jar as well, she rolled her eyes.
"Those are GREAT names. For fairies. Fred and Snook and Duffy are GREAT names and they'll be GREAT friends!" she said as she stuck out her tongue and blew a particularly wet RASPBERRY at Layla.
"
OI! ACCIO FAIRY!" she said, as Fred was now speeding down the corridor---but he came whizzing back to her, and she GRINNED as she caught him. "
Stay. Close. Fred." She gave him a look and he seemed sORRY so she let him go...hehe...
