The Hufflepuff leaned forward to pick up the crumpled up parchment that had fallen on the ground after Lisa had plopped it on his head, and when he got back up, she was already seated on the chair next to him.
Daniel shrugged, pretending he hadn't been bothered by the group of girls and Alfred's glances his way at the Start of Term feast. Or when Perseus mistook the flush on his cheeks for liking Serena. He still had to find that kid and tell him to keep his mouth shut and not to start any nonsense. Because he did not like Serena in that way. "I saw Serena leaving the Great Hall" before he got mesmerized by Maya's presence. "Why was that?" It wasn't said in a worried tone, but rather in a curious one.
At the mention of V, Daniel leaned back in his chair. He had expected her to ask about this. "Well, we've been 'tolerating' each other ever since we had a conversation at the owlery last year" he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I still don't like her but i guess i can tolerate her now" Just because they had an ok conversation twice did not mean that everything was immediately forgotten and forgiven. Baby steps.
And was he going to mention that V called him 'cute'?
....No. Never.
Now seated, she watched Daniel reach for the crumpled piece of paper. “
You should try throwing it over to another table… Five points if you land it right on their notebook and fifty five points if you sink it in the rubbish bin over there,” she pointed to the students in front of them and then the rubbish bin near the Librarian’s desk. Yes, she was wearing a maniacal smirk as she challenged him. Heh.
The teasing, fun smirk disappeared replaced with a legitimate, worried frown. It wasn’t her that made Serena leave right? It was V and Alfie’s questions. Totally wasn’t her…. “
I dunno….” She shrugged at his question nonchalantly, hoping to avoid it before sighing and giving in. Lisa knew Daniel would eventually get it out of her so she decided to recap the events. “
Look it was all fiiiine until V asked me about our friendship cause we hang out and are friends so she thinks we’re a thing…” Lisa didn’t know how to feel about THAT but…. She wasn’t going to elaborate more on it. “
She kept pressing me which made me think she was jealous. Alfie reacted our conversation and encouraged things… and then surprisingly Serena- not V- got upset and left.”
She paused after letting her voice drop off as she became lost in thought. And then he mentioned V so she listened. The Owlery… that’s what V had mentioned to her too. “
I see… well… I think.. it’s good that you are tolerating each other. She’s grown up… a little.” And she thought HE had grown up too. Less dramatic perhaps. “
Train ride was okay with her?”
Her mind flicked back to the Great Hall…. Why did Serena leave? Root cause: something upset her. What V said and Alfie piled on…
The LIGHTBULB went off in her mind.
So either Serena liked Daniel or.. No. impossible.
Serena didn’t like her, right?
“
Oh Wait- Daniel… i think Serena may like you.. Are you guys… friends or “tolerating” each other too?”
