A grin tugged at her lips, her eyes flicking to Savtaj just in time to catch his overly solemn expression. The sight made her giggle, though she quickly stifled it behind a cool, steady hand. “Aren’t you the perfect knight in shining armour?” she teased, nudging him lightly with her elbow. “I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.” How could she pass up such an invitation?

As they walked, her hands clasped loosely behind her back, her gaze occasionally drifting his way as he spoke. Quidditch had never really been her thing; the chaos of the matches was more stressful than entertaining. Sure, she would attend some games, but more often than not, it was rare to see her in the stands. She had avoided the last one for precisely those reasons, and Savtaj’s confirmation of what she’d missed only validated her decision. “No, I had to study for Potions,” she said with an offhanded shrug. It wasn’t exactly a lie—she had been studying, even if the material hadn’t been strictly required.

The faint scoff from Savtaj didn’t escape her, and her gaze shifted forward again, a slight shift in her tone. “Are you surprised?” she muttered, her lips pressing into a thin line. “They're always out for blood. Winning’s practically in the DNA.” A small, wry smile followed.
