"Look, Druella," Cygnus began nervously. He didn't know why but something about the light-haired witch made him nervous. "I don't want to have to feel like I'm walking on egg shells around you, so can't we be friends?"
Druella looked bewildered at Cygnus' suggestion. She never started any fights whatsoever. What did he mean walking around eggshells? "Look, Black, I have no idea what you're talking about. I never bother you. I don't seek you out. I don't even talk to you that much." Well, the second one was a white lie. But who cared really? "So, how can you be cautious around me? It's the other way around, Black."
Cygnus huffed impatiently. Couldn't she see he was being the bigger person here? "Does it matter who starts? I'm just suggesting we become friends. Like acquaintances."
Druella couldn't help herself. She laughed. "You do know there is a major difference between friends and acquaintances?"
Cygnus scowled. "Of course I now there is a difference. But I'm asking you to let our differences aside and be civil to each other."
Druella arched up her perfect black brow. "I've let our differences aside all the way in third year. It's you, Black. Can you stop pranking me then?"
Cygnus shifted uncomfortably. "Well, I think I can."
"You think you can?"
"It's fun!" Cygnus insisted. "You're expressions make the entire boy's dorm crack up!"
Druella narrowed her eyes. "Excuse me?"
Cygnus laughed. "See? I haven't even done anything yet!"
"Okay," Druella said, sighing. She didn't want another year of disputes. "Friends, I guess."
Cygnus nodded. "Friends."
