Originally Posted by Sararara At that point Norah had paired her humming with some good ol' inspection of her sparkly nail polish, so it took her a moment to realize that there was a real live person next to her. Was it Culloden here to admire her? She spun around so enthusiastically that an auburn curl hit her right in the nose. Heh. Nobody saw that, right? Except somebody probably did because there was Sophie Brown saving the whole entire day with her ability to know every single thing under the sun. That was a lot of things, y'know. She watched with wide eyes as Sophie explained and explained and explained more things than the Hufflepuff even thought there was to SAY about boomslangs. The color thing was weird though, 'cause her mum always said that you weren't supposed to say genders had colors 'cept apparently the boomslangs hadn't figured that out yet. Her mum would have to go down to Africa and give 'em a firm talking to, 'cause it sounded like they needed one. "I'll remember that for when I go to Africa," she said, nodding importantly as if she knew for sure that was going to happen, and then breaking out into a grin because keeping a straight face was all sorts of overrated. Straightening up to her full, 'zactly five feet of height, she added, "And I COULD outrun them, I bet." Did Sophie KNOW how much Norah liked to run? 'Cause she'd tell her. It was her number one talent after twirling. And hugs. And making messes. And cartwheels. Okay fine, maybe it wasn't her number one talent, but it SO counted.
She opened her mouth to ask another question 'cause she was sure Sophie Brown'd know the answer to anything she could come up with, but was reduced to beaming and WIGGLING in excitement 'cause guess WHAT. She said Norah's potion looked good! She really did! She put both hands on her cheeks with a soft PLOP sound and squished her cheeks together, 'cause how else were you supposed to respond when the best potion-maker in the history of the entire UNIVERSE probably complimented you? That's right, she really didn't know either. "Thank you thank you thaaaaank you," she said, but it came out sort of muffled 'cause apparently that happened when you were squishing you cheeks. She removed them in the interest of some more grinning. "Yours does too! I bet. Probably. You look good. I like your watch. And YOU, obviously, 'cause you're the coolest." Maybe complimenting people wasn't her number one talent either, but who was counting anyways. Could Norah be any cuter?
Sophie sure didn't think so.
The sixth year nodded her encouragement at the girl's belief that she COULD outrun the boomslang. "I think so too. Y'seem like you'd be a quick one." Too bad Sophie didn't know the girl liked running, for she'd invite her along to go running with her at dawn every morning. The more the merrier for that kind of thing, really.
The squishing of her cheeks? Adorable. Soph even giggled in good humor along with the girl before giving her a nice sideways hug. "M'not as cool as you. I voted for you for Ms. Hogwarts last term. Betcha ten galleons you'll get it before y'graduate, 'cause that's how cool you ARE. And if y'don't get it before then, we'll find a way to edit all the yearbooks and we'll put you in my place from two terms ago, 'kay? THAT's how cool you are and how much y'deserve it."
She checked her watch just then, and... OOP. LESS THAN TWENTY SECONDS TILL SHE NEEDED TO ADD HER LARVAE. "Larvae time. Gotta jet. Sorry." Soph hurried back over to her workstation, slid her gloves back onto her hands, and looked at her watch... just when the five minutes were up, so she added the ten newt larvae to her cauldron.
And... the concoction was clear as glass. Like purified water, even. Beautiful. Sophie tinkered with the flame again to ensure that the temperature stayed at 100 degrees Celsius, then gave a thumbs up to Norah up ahead in case she was worried that Soph had messed up her potion while talking. NOPE. ALL WAS GOOD.
