Eileen smiled as Felimina walked over with Gavin by her side.
" I need to go into that shop " said Gavin.
" Okay see you later " said Felimina and she waved him off.
" So " she cried as she turned to Eileen. " What do you think?"
" I think he's very nice " said Eileen. " But I dont see why you are asking me. We've known him since first year."
" Yeah well... boys change when they have a relationship with someone. I was just wondering if you noticed anything."
" Like what?"
" Well if I act okay... or am I too hasty. Do you think he's nervous or embarassed?"
" Felimina. Gavin adores you. So I mean dont be acting so silly. He's not going to fret if your hair isn't done correctly or your nails aren't painted his favourite colour."
Felimina nodded. " I know."
Gavin came back out with a box of chocolates in his hand presented them to Felimina.
" Thanks Gav " said Felimina and she opened them. " Hey there's only two left."
" I got hungry " said Gavin casually. " The line was too long at the register. So I ate a few while I was waiting."
Eileen laughed and she picked up her wand from her shopping bag.
" Hey I've had enough shopping. Do any of you want to get something to eat?"
Felimina nodded. Gavin nodded eagerly. " Yeah I'm starving."
" You ate my chocolates."
" Hey that was a snack."
Felimina grinned and she pulled Gavin by the arm.
" Come on lets go."
Eileen nodded but stiffened when she saw someone staring at her.
" Hey Eileen look " cried Felimina. " It's Tom."
Eileen nodded but wasn't listening.
" What's he doing " asked Felimina. " Hey he's looking at you Eileen."
" No he's not " cried Eileen blushing. " Now come on lets go. You're attracting attention to us."
" Hey Tom " cried Gavin.
" Gavin stop " cried Felimina. " You'll bring him over."
The boy looked over at Gavin.
" Having a nice summer Tom?"
The boy didn't answer instead he slipped around the corner.
" Weird " muttered Gavin. " Dont you think he's unusual? I mean he never socializes with any of us."
" Except the Slytherins " said Felimina. " I've seen him with them Gavin. It's like they think he is God or something."
" Well it's typical isn't it?" said Gavin. " Slytherins worshipping the dark arts."
" I've heard things " said Felimina. " Nasty things that would make your skin crawl."
" What things?" asked Gavin.
" Apparently he's trying to get people to support his idea of a pure blood race. He wants to get rid of half bloods and muggleborns."
" I heard it too " said Gavin. " What a nutter. Sure once you are a wizard or a witch thats it. Theres no big deal with being half blood or a muggleborn."
" But he's right isn't he?" said Eileen.
Gavin looked at her shocked. " Eileen what are you saying?"
" Those ideas of his make sense. We are magical , we should keep the magical world pure."
Felimina turned on her. " His ideas are wrong Eileen. They are racist and sick. I'm a muggleborn. He wants to get rid of me and people like me."
" Your Mother is a muggleborn Eileen " said Gavin. " I think your a bit confused."
Eileen nodded lost for words. " I'm kind of tired. The sun is making me drowsy. Lets go inside."
Gavin nodded and gave Felimina a worrying look. She returned it with a puzzled expression.
