Re: Alfie/Evie
"He is a little over exuberant at times, isn't he?" Evie giggled. "If he wasn't so nice, I'd be a little afraid of him."
The pair spent an awkward day wandering around their usual haunts, each adjusting to the fact that they were with the other. Evie, for her part, kept trying to make conversation, but eventually she ran out of things to say. She couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so awkward around Alfie. He was one of her best friends, for crying out loud!
Finally they were back at the school, standing outside their Common room, the awkwardness not having abated at all now that they were alone, out of the public eye.
