He seemed surprised about her assertion that people didn't forget her and Charlotte just tossed her head confidently, setting her hair bouncing. "It IS so." He would see.
"Oh you are?! I haven't met her yet! But she's pretty, I saw pictures." And she teased Bast about it of course. In the loving sort of cousinly way. "Bast is cool! I bet you'd like him! And this year he's combat captain at Durmstrang! Well, deputy, but BASICALLY it means he's the toughest!" Which was cool because their other cousin had been combat captain before that. Char was proud of her family for sure. "I want to meet her though! You should introduce me!"
Tim Kyle?
"Oh yeah I know who she is! She's pretty too! Is she your girlfriend, Dalton?" Char hadn't yet decided if boys with girlfriends were okay to go on the list or not, but she would think about that more later.
Charlotte looked up when the compartment door opened and smiled brightly.
"Hi Genny! Did you have a good summer? This is Dalton, he's a Slytherin, we're friends now." She announced, both for Genny's benefit and in case Dalton hadn't realised. He didn't get a choice in the matter, but then nobody ever did.
Dalton chuckled drily as Charlotte repeated herself. "I know, but I feel that people display their idiocy pretty early on, don't you?" To him, you could just
tell when people were, in her words, 'dolts'. But he probably thought that about most people. He
definitely thought that about most people. Not her, though, Dalton couldn't help but realise as he watched the quill wave in her hand and her hair bounce slightly. Her confidence made him chuckle drily again, as did the other realisation he had: he didn't actually mind her company, enthusiastic as she was.
And he minded most peoples company.
"He's moved to Durmstrang?" His eyebrow raised slightly at the notion, thoughts wandering back to Sharky's cousin's girlfriend. How did she feel about him moving? Dalton made a mental note to ask her about it when he next saw her, and lost in thought slightly, nearly missed Char's next comment. "Huh -? Oh, yeah, sure I can introduce you." How odd that her cousin hadn't himself. But then, maybe they hadn't been together for long. He wasn't sure.
Shaking his head slightly at her next comment, Dalton responded, "Tim? Nah, she's seeing someone called... Erm. Well, someone who's not me. Besides, I don't see her like that. She's a friend." Even if Aled
insisted she was the prettiest girl to ever exist, and if she had been his own first kiss. Which he'd never actually told anyone, and didn't plan on doing so: it was no one else's business.
He offered a nod to the younger girl as Char introduced her. Friends? Was she even sure she wanted to be friends with him?
