she laughs at the complete ELATION that rattles his face; his expression & smile far to genuine to NOT reciprocate. So she does just that. She smiles at him with every bit of sincerity as she can, despite the fact that he is the reason why she cannot reread the book tonight.
She is, after all, notorious in their house for taking C O P I O U S notes; therefore even POTIONS should not be too hard to study, given everything.
“Would it really?”

Fingers are already deftly flipping through the pages, doe brown eyes skimming over neatly printed words, but her remark registers through the book-induced haze and prompts him to raise an eyebrow.
'Don’t you think it would be? Besides, we are in a public place. And you know how some people can be about spreading яυмσяѕ.’
Initially, the words he was going to say had been teasing, but he has always been a firm believer of the saying—— ’тнιηк вєƒσяє уσυ ѕρєαк,’ and, as a result, changed his mind at the last minute. It won’t reflect well on his character to tease someone who has just shown him g e n e r o s i t y, will it?

'Honeydukes, huh? Me too. We better not eat too much, Hugo, or else we’ll both get pudgy and Vic’s going to force us to exercise for the entire summer.’
A grin was flashed in his cousin’s direction to show that he was merely joking. Victoire wouldn’t go that far, would she?
Pressing her lips together, expression resembling his own, she waits. Behind the facade of nagging older sister is the truth; love & care. If her brother is overwhelmed in any way, she wants to know why and how she can h e l p.
