O-oh. [She's getting a little flustered now. She doesn't have older students calling her pretty very often.] You really don't have to come all the way home with me... I don't have to carry them very far once I get there.

[syned_a_brik]

If hyu dun haf far to carry dem, iz no trouble for me to help! Hy dun mind. [She's old enough to count as fair game in his book--besides, if he gives her back the other half of the pile, she really might fall over.]

Vot's hyu name? Hy'm Oggie.

[fuckilovebooks]

I'm Twilight. And I appreciate the offer, but... I'm not sure how my parents would feel about me bringing a boy home.

Oh, no, most of them are for my own reading.

[syned_a_brik]

[fuckilovebooks]

I can always make time for books. Class assignments usually don't take me very long, and extra reading usually helps a lot when it comes to exams.

[syned_a_brik]

Hyu iz schmott gurl. Assignments usually take me foreffer.

Does hyu do odder stuff too? Or chust read all de time?

[fuckilovebooks]

Spike is my pet gecko. I've had him since my first year. And... I'm not very good at flying.

Does hyu vant to fly? Hy could take hyu up und show hyu Hogvarts from de air if hyu vanted, ven ve gets beck to school. Hy iz goot flier, hyu vouldn't haf to vorry about de broom misbehaffink.

[fuckilovebooks]

Oh, he's very sweet. He's like my best friend. But as for flying... I think I'd rather stay on the ground. I feel more comfortable there.

[syned_a_brik]

Aww. Yah, my sister, she und her pet fust iz very close too.

Hokay, no flyink. Mebbe ve can explore Hogsmeade togedder sometime? Dot iz on de ground.
