WHO: Terry Boot and Gregory Goyle
WHAT: Awkward run in with an ex-bully
WHEN: July 23, around 7AM
WHERE: Cabin 3
It was exhausting, trying to figure out what was going on in that town. A few days of peace upon arrival, and now... this. Terry had been preoccupied with figuring out who was who and then with trying to set up himself for comfort and success during their time there. He hoped it was temporary. He needed it to be temporary actually, because he had spotted Goyle of all people the other day in the house and Terry had been taking great care ever since to avoid the man or even let him know that he was there.
He'd been bullied in school- not just by Goyle, but by multiple people. Mostly because he'd been shy, quiet, bookish, overweight, and hadn't discovered acne products until around sixth year. Any confidence that he might have had before the DA had been consistently squashed by bullying, and he still had to admit that he felt a twinge of anger when he thought about the taunts and sometimes physical brutishness that had taken place. Hell, half the reason he actually went to the gym was because of those comments. Of course, none of that compared to seventh year, when the war had been in full swing.
But he wasn't thinking about bullies right then. Terry Boot was in the kitchen, cooking himself two scrambled eggs and some toast, a cup of tea already on the counter as he waited for the eggs to be ready and the toaster to pop. He was in the clothes that he'd arrived in the cabin in- a plain red shirt and some jeans. He'd washed them the best he could, but he did wish he had fresh clothes. And his friends. He wished Ant or Mike or Sally were there.
When he heard what sounded like footsteps, he didn't even turn around, he just yawned between words as he spoke.
"Fancy some eggs?"
