She enjoyed watching him work those couple of days she had visited. The farm was fun with all the animals.
She didn't know why his eyes on her brought butterflies, her stomach flipping, and a sense of ache all at the same time. As she watched outside she reminded herself they had these conversations, they were just friends, and this time next year he could be fully in Canada if he picked to live there. That thought bringing more then she wanted for the start of term so she pushed off away from him and turned so she wasn't close enough to touch. She knew she needed to stay distant if they were going to make the friendship stick.
"It was, he's great at what he does. I've watched him in the greenhouse since I was little. Gunnar is really good at it as well, I try to be as talented but sometimes I think I couldn't be as talented as both of them. I learned so much though, they were doing some cross-breeding that I got to look in on, but I mostly just helped with paperwork and watering some of the plants in the greenhouses." It was a great experience either way and she was glad she ended up doing it.
"You know how protective he is. I came in from practice after two of Fynn's friends decided to bug me about going out with them. I was so frustrated and Gunnar just happen to be home and see how upset I was. It didn't take long before he left the house and came back saying it was taken care of and they wouldn't be spreading any stupid rumors again." It had made the end of the season better and she did get an apology from Fynn which was good.
"You know she'll be walking before you go home again." At least that's how it felt when she left for school and Aidan was just crawling. She figured by the time she got home for Christmas Adele would be so much bigger as well.
She MEANT to fall into all of the muck? SUUUUUURE she did. Shaking his head and laughing, he just retorted quickly
”Yes. I just love pig muck. I live for it” Well, technically he sort of did because the muck helped the pigs but that was beside the point,. She did not mean to fall in, but he didn’t care all that much. It had been funny.
Try as he might to pay attention to her now, he simply couldn’t. His mind was on…other things. Decisions in the near future that continued to creep closer and yet not get any easier. [B]”I mean, you’re good at different things to them. You’re great at quidditch. Most likely better than them” although he didn’t really know how good they were. He was going off how good she was and for him, that was enough.
”Good. I hope he left more than just a few strong words in his psyche” because he would have certainly made sure everyone could see how much of a dirty little liar he was. Some people just need to realise how much damage a rumour can do. But then again, rumours aren’t the only thing that can do damage. Hopefully Gunnar saw to it that way.
”What!? You mean, I’m going to miss her first steps? Okay, that is not cool” Coming back this year had been a close call but he’d decided to come back. Had this been brought to his attention, it might have swayed him
”I guess my Aunt can just mirror me but…It’s not really the same”. He would make sure that she at least record it if she couldn’t mirror. Slightly crestfallen, the taller Ravenclaw boy pushed off the wall he was leaning on with a sigh and turned to his fellow seventh year
”I need to go get changed into my robes. I’ll catch you later at the sorting, yeah?”.
