His words only prompted another violent shudder. Lou Ellen’d been sinking back into the very corners of her mind, but somehow that sentence got through. If only a little bit.
It was known that the blonde girl had nightmares ever since the Battle of Manhattan happened…

He considered making a crack about Sleeping Beauty and what it had taken to wake her up, but he decided that that would be too much. Besides, the original tale was quite disturbing and not at all child-friendly.
His fingers were but mere puppets to desperation, and so they wrapped around her ankles. ‘If you don’t wake up, I’m going to pull and your face is going to meet the floor.’
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?

‘All right,’ Feet shuffled hurriedly on the way out, stopping only by the coat rack to grab his jacket. He was already quite decent, if he said so himself. No trip back to his room was needed. (His sisters would have protested, but they weren’t here and he saw no need to act like they were.)
”Pretty much is town for us. Given that’s the only place to go other than the castle. But yeah— M’in the mood for Honeydukes.”
[ ♔♚♔ ]
'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.
“Care to share with the class, Mr. Weasley?”
[ ♔♚♔ ]
Narrowed eyes focused on his sister, he releases a puff of breath, his hand reaching up to scratch his back. A seed of doubt plants itself in his mind, and with an inward jolt he realizes that he is worried that Victoire will dismiss his vexation with a sneer.
