There was a definite pause between the question and answer. It was only a few seconds maybe, but Roxy had noticed it. Maybe she was still hyper sensitive that this George wouldn’t like her, they had been fighting a lot about her friendship with Draco, and she would always be a little concerned that his relationship with Alicia might make her a little undesirable, not that she’d admit it. He breath had held for just a second, but when George opened up his arms for a hug, Roxanne visibly lit up.
Her eyes were wide and excited, and her grin ate up half her face as her arms slung around her father’s neck tightly. It felt like it had been so long since she hugged her father, maybe it had been too long. Not since the summer before she’d gone to school, and certainly not any time in the village. She was ecstatic.
