"But you don't want to do it immediately? I've found procrastinating is a bad habit and causes a lot of potential anxiety. In fact, I performed a study on-" He stopped when he found the girls were giggling again and flushed harder. "I'll just be quiet now…"
"No it's cute." She snickered.
"Mate, it's fine if you ramble. My sister is in Ravenclaw, so I hear this kind of thing all the time."
Scipio crossed his arms, clearly pouting a bit. He hated being laughed at, as it made him feel stupid. "Stop laughing at me! I'm not cute!"
"Alright sorry. You are though." She winked at him and produced the bag of licorice she had been hiding behind her back. 'Candy?"
He rolled his eyes, his face pretty red at this point. "You do know that you're not allowed to hav- oh, whatever. It's not like you two care about the rules anyways…" He accepted a piece of licorice.
"I do care about rules! It's just some rules are…" She took a piece of licorice as she searched for the right word, "Idiotic."
"I agree. Rules are more like…..guidelines for behavior rather than mandate."
"Exactly!" Eleanor grinned, popping the licorice into her mouth.
"I do care about rules! It's just some rules are…" She took a piece of licorice as she searched for the right word, "Idiotic."
"Ah, yes. Like the majority of your house, hmm?" Scipio raised an eyebrow.
(Also, forgot to say, Scip's patronus is a black panther)
(But frens you cannot leave meee)
(Scipio is sassy sometimes. Particularly when it comes to Gryffindors)
"I do care about rules! It's just some rules are…" She took a piece of licorice as she searched for the right word, "Idiotic."
"Ah, yes. Like the majority of your house, hmm?" Scipio raised an eyebrow.
(Also, forgot to say, Scip's patronus is a black panther)
Eleanor scowled before brightening. "Oh! Just like the majority of your house are stuck-up!" She tapped Allegra on the shoulder. "Except you."
(Yaaaay)
Scipio rolled his eyes. "I am not stuck up. I just believe in rules and dislike idiots. And I am not reckless, as many Gryffindors are. Recklessness is often mistaken for bravery, is it not?"
Allegra nodded. "Not you of course." She patted Eleanor's shoulder.
Eleanor nodded. "True true. And I never said you were stuck up, Scipy."
(Alrighty, so Scipio's not stuck up, Eleanor's not reckless, and they're all awkward af. And Scipio is 'cute')
Scipio said nothing. He hated the nickname of course, but he had never told either Allegra or Eleanor that.
Allegra popped a piece of licorice in her mouth. "So what are your plans for the evening?"
