She was still debating if she should just give it to him now until her favorite person, Rae, sat across from her. Rose smiled and looked at Rae when they greeted her. Her mouth was full, so she had to finish chewing before she could speak. She swallowed and tried to ignore the feeling of her cheeks getting hot. Rae could do nothing, but Rose couldn't help it when she got bashful. With her free hand, she had been drawing a rough outline of Raul, Rae’ rat, who was asleep in her lap. Her eyes watched him as he stretched out in her lap. She took a few slow deep breaths to try to cool her now blushing cheeks. A few seconds later, she finally looked up and did her best to make eye contact with Rae.
“Morning Raegan,” she replied. Rose closed her sketchbook and placed the pencil on top. She then gestured to Rae's familiar in her lap. All the rats decided to follow her this morning, likely as she often gave them treats when she went to the kitchen. Rose appreciated Raul's company during breakfast. Cream and Coffee had gone off to who knows where about an hour ago. They always loved to explore the school and sometimes get into trouble.
“Raul is in my lap. He followed me this morning when I started my day. I think he is tired now...I do apologize if you worried about him,” she added.
Her smile widened as she looked at Rae. They just always made her feel happy and carefree when they were around. Rose was glad they seemed to be getting back on friendly terms as well. Their friendship had always been an on and off again thing. Rose usually didn't mind, but this year was different. It was their last one together as students at Hogwarts. She hoped the friendship would stay on for the rest of it.
“How did you sleep? Are you excited for the Quidditch game today?” she asked, deciding to keep the conversation going. Although, her eyes wandered over to Shane as Cas went up to him. It seemed like his situation with Jessie now had one more person involved. She watched with curiosity and a bit of worry. Her lips pressed together as Shane had water dumped on him. Rose knew he could handle himself, so she stayed seated. He wasn’t in immediate danger and part of her didn’t want to wake up Raul by getting up. If anything, she could get revenge for Shane later if really necessary. When the situation was over, her full attention went back to Rae.
“I wonder if the rest of the day will be as interesting,” she commented. She wondered briefly if Cas lost a cult member and that was why they were in such a bad mood. While she waited for Rae to answer her, Rose decided she’d give Shane the box before her first class. He obviously didn’t start his morning off on a good note.
