Flipping through the latest edition of Witch Weekly she’d picked up during the trip to Hogsmeade, Evie glanced over at Alecto. Her back was pressed to a column, sitting on the floor and turning the page idly. “I love you,” she hummed, popping a piece of Drooble’s into her mouth. “But please stop with the detention talk. It’s only for, what, six weeks?” That wasn’t short by any definition but it could be way worse. Besides, it was an unforgivable curse and not having been expelled was better than Evie would have expected. Normally she avoided these topics with Alecto, as much as possible given their own slightly different political viewpoints, but this wasn’t so avoidable.
Still, Evie tried. Blowing a bubble and swiftly popping it, she moved over to show Alecto the magazine. “That dress is so pretty, oh my god. I would die for it.” It was easier to keep her friends when they didn’t get into deep topics like this. “Or maybe I just like the model it’s on. I don’t know, she’s cute.” Almost reminded her of Hestia, in a way. She really should try to talk to her again.
