The second year bought herself a big mug and then headed toward the less crowded area of the pub. They weren't kidding when they said Hogsmeade got crowded! Truth be told, she didn't know who to sit with... but she did she Blake Ryan, by himself this time, and didn't see many other empty tables, so...
Bernie slid into his table with a loud SLURRRRRRP of her drink. Look, she wasn't saying to him and she wasn't picking a fight, so. Could they just get along??? She raised her eyebrows at him from across her mug and the shrugged out of her winter peacoat. Sorry, Blake, looks like you were getting company because Bernie was getting cozy!
Blake choked on his butter beer and coughed a couple times as Bernadette took a seat without so much as a 'howdy do'. So this is how she wanted to play it? Ignore him for weeks and then just flounce back to his table. He wanted to be angry, he wanted to pretend that it hadn't bothered him, he wanted to still think girls suck ... but the truth of the matter was .. he missed her. And not in so much as a 'romantic' sense ... though he'd also be lying if he didn't find her cute ... if girls could even be cute that is. But she really was his best friend... he didn't have many, but Bernadette was one.
Clearing his throat, he turned toward her.
"Hey Bernadette." He felt super awkward... how could he make this less awkward??
"Haven't seen you in a while..... how have you been." There he added the sting to let her know he was ignored .. but still nice enough to open the conversation to rekindle their friendship.
