“Close one. Last time we were in here and she started in on “examples” she droned on for hours…" The way that George clasped Ines on her shoulder made her shift a little, almost uncomfortably. "Not a bad save, Glaspy. Not bad at all..."
Ines shrugged lightly, dislodging George's hand from her shoulder. But as she did so, she seemed unable to keep a smile off of her face at the slightly proud feeling she got by knowing the class briefly falling apart was actually her fault. It wasn't often that she was able to make people laugh with her corrections - usually people just rolled their eyes at her because it was annoying to them.
“Our hero~”
The second that Fred's head found its way onto her shoulder, she found herself overwhelmed with the closeness of the twins. Maybe it was just because she wasn't used to people other than her siblings touching her, but it was certainly uncomfortable. But she paused briefly, not doing anything because an interesting scent hit her nose; it smelled like smoke, but the kind that came from those Filibuster-brand fireworks.
When Fred sat upright after only a few seconds, Ines could feel her ears burning as the scent disappeared and was quickly replaced by the disgustingly overpowering sage and sandalwood incense.
“Well, anyway, c’mon, let’s get out of here before the crazy old bat hits her stride again.”
Ines nodded quickly at Fred's words, getting to her feet. "Fantastic idea."
She easily followed the twin to the ladder that would bring them up and into the astronomy tower. As they waited for the line to dissipate so they could head up as well, a Gryffindor managed to slip through the line and up to Ines' side.
"That was brilliant!" She was in a fit of giggles, obviously still amused with the Hufflepuff having gone, for lack of a better term, head-to-head with the professor. "I didn't know you were so sassy! It's so funny."
"Uh, thank you?" Ines raised an eyebrow.
The girl kept giggling as she turned around and headed to the back of the line, where she began to talk to a couple other girls. Ines was confused. Was it really so funny that she had an attitude with a teacher? Ines had already begun to feel the heavy feeling of guilt in her heart for having been so rude to Professor Trelawney, even though she wouldn't take back a word of what she said. But she didn't have too much time left to ponder her guilt, as she realized that she was the next up the ladder. So, she swiftly climbed it and found herself heading up and out into the night.
Once she was up onto the top of the parapet, she inhaled deeply - the light chill in the air actually sort of felt good after being in the furnace below them. But as she looked up and into the distance slightly, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure bobbing slowly in the breeze. A shiver ran through her body and she crossed her arms. Dementors were a true threat to students. She wondered why Dumbledore had allowed them to be there, even if reluctantly. Who cared about Sirius Black when over a thousand innocent students were at risk?
"So," she glanced at Fred after a moment, raising an eyebrow, "are we really going to exchange the journaling we've done? Actually, did you or your brother even bother to try do it?"
