"DORA!" she called out, although the grin on her face at her bestie's finishing soon faltered. First, because the Head Boy had beaten her there, complete with food. That had been her role! And second, because she seemed to be dipping away from everyone. Sam knew that body language
The Ravenclaw hurried after her friend, catching her gently by the arm. "You were awesome," she said softly. "Despite the...unusual circumstances." She'd seen the apparent Muggle in the forest, and she had a good idea how the Gryffindor was feeling. She knoew how strongly Dora felt about injustice, and how protective shoe could be. "And I have supplies...chocolate, tea, a hoodie if you're cold...tissues?"
Dora heard Sam call out, but couldn't stop just yet. She had to compose herself a bit before that happened. But that didn't come to be as Sam grabbed her arm and turned her around. Not that it was forceful or anything.
When she spun, her arms went around her friend tightly. No one could see her like this... no one.
Stepping back slightly she kept her gaze downward. "HoodiE and tea, please." Her voice was weak and defeated. Not what she wanted in the moment, but no one (other than Casper) knew her like Sam did. Knew what horrible thoughts were likely running through her head. Feelings of inadequacy swelled inside of her... her mostly unknown NEED for people to like and support her. Despite her less than rosy disposition from time to time.
AND THEN A BLOODY CHEERLEADER.
Was she for real?!
Dora pulled away, eyes blazing as she took in the idiot girl with the pompoms. Her wand was out faster than she could really think about it... pointed to the frilly things...
Which spell though?! Fire or other destruction? Her pause was only verbal and spell casty. Her face betrayed her utter DISGUST with the girl cheering for people getting their SOULS SUCKED OUT!
