"Wh-wh-wh-pardon?" she squeaked, absently tucking one of her curls behind her ear after spinning around to see an older girl standing before her. She didn't make eye contact just yet though, it was harder to tell lies when you actually looked at the person, and focused on her pink converse instead. "I-I-I didn't sneak out. My, um, my mum is um....she is um...she is um...paying the tab at the Two...I MEAN THREE...Three Broomsticks."

Okay, trying to pay off her bad karma from the broken and stolen quill was proving to be a lot more difficult that first expected. And now she was adding up even MORE bad karma because she was LYING to someone who was just trying to be nice to her.

Why was life so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard?

...Well, that was a little weird.

The stuttering, the nervous gestures, the lack of eye contact... Soph actually took a step back to give the younger girl some space. "Whoa, whoa, sorry there, kid. Didn't mean to... you're not in trouble." Did she think she was? Soph assumed so, since the girl was freaking out on her and very obviously trying to make up an excuse on the spot.

She wasn't very good at lying, did she know?

"Relax. M'not gonna tell anyone. If anything, I bet if someone did try to give you a hard time 'bout it, I could sweet-talk 'em and convince 'em you're okay to be here." Was she convincing enough? Even though she was still standing an extra step away from her to give her room, Sophie cautiously extended a hand to the girl to shake. Would she accept it, though? "M'Sophie Brown., fourth year Ravenclaw. And the offer still stands, if y'want me to buy you something." She wasn't the least bit deterred by her jittery demeanor and the obvious fact that the kid was lying to her.

Sophie could teach her to spout of a convincing lie without stumbling through it, if she wanted.
