Chapter 5: Backtalking
He often observed her. It would certainly be a stretch to say he was interested, but she often wandered into his view by her own volition. Or at least he liked to think of it that way. She was an intriguing thing. Mostly due to her calm and generally happy atmosphere despite the hovel she had to live in and with. He threw a side along glance at Finn. They were a troublesome bunch. He couldn't understand why she bothered with them, why she tried changing them. Couldn't she see? She was so much better than those around her. Definitely not in his own level, but certainly above average. The reason for her aid during their first meeting still eluded him.
His eyes narrowed as he returned to staring at the unaware girl. What motives could she possibly have? He was drawn out of his musings when a rather loud conversation reached his ears.
"Hey you guys, know what would really be fun? I got a new game called lock the girl up." Finn snickered with his friends. "Imagine, poor Harry all alone stuffed in a locker. Boo hoo." He mocked.
"That will teach her not to cross us." Another pipped up.
"She totally deserves it."
Noises of agreement erupted from around the table. He glanced at the girl, still unaware of the schemes around her.
Giving a long sigh, he stood up and began walking towards the rowdy table, his face unreadable and eyes cold as ice.
