She giggled. Haddie could be so cheeky. "Are you a frog trying to catch flies with that tongue?'' she joked lamely. "But you're right, Haddie. I think Ailsa is smitten with him but doesn't want to admit it.'' Best friend say what? "Me and Garreth?'' Rachel coloured slightly in the cheeks. "He's just my friend and nothing else.'' Still pink, she watched Haddie depart and return with a box. "I wonder what they have gotten for you.'' She looked on as the wrapper was torn away. "It's a two way mirror.'' Haddie's mother was brilliant.
"That's true. Do you think there's a spell that would let us mimic animal sounds?'' She hadn't come across one in her reading yet. Rachel went into a fit of giggles at Ailsa's denial about her like of Garreth and even more so when the boy joined them. Awkward. That comment about Garreth's glasses just made her smile even more. She nudged Ailsa. "You do like him.''
Rachel did a double take of a seemingly familiar face (Daxton). Wasn't he the same boy she had met at the vendors in Diagon Alley sometime ago? A second later, she was positive it was him. She approached him. "Hello. I remember you from Diagon Alley.'' She smiled. Would he talk this time around? On their first meeting, he hadn't talked at all.
"It's lovely to meet you, David.'' She smiled at him, wondering if it had been her hair he had been observing or something behind her. She had noticed the movement of his eyes. "I'm Rachel Watson, first year. Did you enjoy your first year here?'' She had not seen among the new students to be Sorted and reasoned that he had been at Hogwarts since last year.
Olivia was always alone, wasn't she? "Toasted marshmallows are really delicious,'' Rachel said to the girl who was similar to her in terms of appearance. She had brought a stick and a some marshmallows too. "Mind if I join you?" Just then, she spotted her Samurai friend. She waved at him.

Mr Kitridge was starting his speech so Rachel drew all her attention to him, listening intently. She glowed with pride when he mentioned Tia as a student leader. Despite the very short time she had known the other girl, Rachel was quite fond of her and looked up to her.
Did her Head of House just say stuffed eagles? The girl's face lit up. She loved stuffed toys! She eagerly went to follow Ailsa but then her eyes widened when suddenly little creatures burst from the chest. A pygmy puff instantly bounded at her and tried to get to her face by jumping on various pieces of furniture and even other students. "IT WANTS MY BOOGERS!'' she yelled as she tried to defend herself and at the same time catch the creature. Yes, she was remembering her conversation with Hope and Noelle at the joke shop last summer about boogers and pygmy puffs. |
