His words about her looking good made her freeze and blush for a moment. Gosh…she looked good? Really? That was great to hear.
“I…thank you Carl,” she grinned up at him. “Spain that sounds like so much fun” she beamed at him, “what have you been doing with your muggle friends?” Could she meet them sometime? Nope she was not going to ask that…”Oh me? I’ve well…been good?” She grinned at him.
“Just enjoying summer…I’ve brought a bunch of friends to my brother’s kennel – I’ve been trying to convince them to buy the puppies” she added with a grin “oh and basically I’ve been cuddling puppies…oh and I found out that my sister’s boyfriend IS a werewolf.” She nodded. “Well I didn’t find out – he told me. He’s coming out too and registering!” She grinned at him and bounced on the balls of her feet. The short Gryffindor was just so happy…happy, she was just glad to see him.
“I’m sorry” she blurted out as she looked down at the ground and bit her lip. “I didn’t mean to do that thing and run off or say anything awkward? I didn’t mean to tell you not to change? If you want to change you can change…and I’m sorry I didn’t say good bye to you at the end of term I meant to give you a hug before the train aand then it just I got distracted because of the wedding? My sister’s wedding” she was babbling again. This time in public.
Carl smiled at Mel.
"A bit, I guess! I didn't mean to get scared either." He said. Yay, hair ruffles! He had missed her hair ruffles.
Nodding, he said,
"Yeah! Going to the beach in Spain will be fun." He had finished packing already and could not wait for the trip.
"Oh, just stupid things... watching movies, playing sports and such. Maybe you can meet them sometime! They are always curious about what kind of school I go to." He nodded. It sucked having to lie to them that he went to a Muggle boarding school.
"That's great! Puppies are great." The boy said. Pity he was not allowed to adopt any. Wait, the guy was really a werewolf? Wow.
"Wow. That's pretty intriguing. Did you ask him about y'know, what it's like?" It must be a sensitive topic, so he totally understood if they did not talk about it.
He looked up as Mel apologized and listened to her speak.
"You don't have to be sorry. I was touched by how you said you like the way I am right now. I looked for you at the end of term too, but there were just too many people." Yeah. In some ways he was glad they were talking about this. It made things less awkward.
"So, how was Mika's wedding? Other than the fact that Mr Werewolf turned up? Do you want ice cream? My treat!"
