Out of the corner of her eye, LouAnn watched as Sebastian laid out a handkerchief before taking a seat by the window. The corners of her lips lifted into a small smile for no particular reason at all. In the back of her mind, she questioned why Sebastian and Woodson's odd behavior didn't bother her much at all. Their actions were certainly strange, unlike anything LouAnn had ever heard of or seen. She'd learned to expect them, though, and she overlooked just about every unusual thing they said or did.
She glanced from Sebastian back to her Jelly Slugs and picked up the package off the napkin she'd laid it on. She normally wouldn't have alaid out a napkin at all, but if she'd just put them on the seat, neither brother would have given the candy a second thought. "They're not
real slugs. They're candy slugs," she explained, holding out the bag once more. "I promise you they're really good. Go on and take one." She highly doubted either brother ever would, though.
When the compartment door slid open, LouAnn glanced up to see the boy she'd met in one of the shops in Diagon Alley. Theo, if she remembered correctly. He'd been the one to talk to her about his height and about the werewolves at Hogwarts. LouAnn was still pretty neutral when it came to said werewolves, though. Her parents had assured her that any werewolf wasn't a danger to be around, just as long as they took Wolfsbane Potion at the right time of the month. Listening to her parents talk had made LouAnn pretty much overlook the fact that there werewolves on the Hogwarts staff. "Hey, Theo. Sure, come on in and sit down. Theo, this is Woodson and this is Sebastian," she said, nodding at each boy as she said his name. "Woodson, Sebastian, this is Theo."
Her eyes flickered from Theo to Woodson, and LouAnn blinked in reply to Woodson's vague answer about how the Whitcomb's usually travel. Yup, the twins were puzzles just waiting to be figured out. The only thing was, LouAnn didn't really see either giving off enough information to put the pieces together at all. Woodson, maybe. Sebastian? Probably not. "Oh. I see," she said, not pushing the matter any further. LouAnn had traveled by 'other means' before, too. By that, she meant leaving her home in the middle of the night to take on another new identity in another new town.
Sigh. With the attention back on the slugs, LouAnn glanced down at her full bag of candy. "It's alright, you don't have to try them if you don't want to. Slug, theo?" she offered.
