"I suppose that's true, but yeah I'm not turning into a duck here; I'm just a little weird lately since I didn't get the chance to surf much over the summer between working and trying to pack before I had to move to London. Just being around the water again feels like I was back home in Los Angeles, though it's a lot warmer there anyway." He knew at one point or another, he'd go back there; probably to see his parents and his brother but that probably wasn't going to be for awhile. "Oh well good, I would have wondered if you said that you didn't like me. But I know you do anyway." That statement made him remember the hate potion situation that they went through last term and no matter what, he just wanted to forget about that once and for all because it wasn't a good time; they went a couple of weeks without speaking to one another but it had seemed like an eternity at the time.

"Things don't stay normal for long around here." That was a known fact about Hogwarts, that was also why he was going to miss the school so much at the end of the term; well that wasn't all he was going to miss but right now wasn't the time to think about that. No need to be sad when it was still September so there was plenty of time left. "Well that's good, speaking of which.. I don't recall you ever telling me how you ended up doing on your OWLs." Obviously he was curious since he had helped her study for the exams which was quite the adventure at times merely because he got distracted a couple times and forgot what they were working on.

Once the ducks realized that Stella had given them the last of the food they were going to get from her, the quacking had ceased. She still couldn't help but grin as the noise had seemed to distract Matt again momentarily, though. It was really like he was trying to commune with the creatures or something, even if he'd assured her he wasn't thinking about turning into a duck. Plus, his explanation actually made some sort of sense, even as she still smiled. "I'm sorry you didn't get to surf. I think the lake might be better than the duck pond, though, if you really wanted to consider getting wet," she commented, unable to not be the tiniest bit teasing. They'd never really explored going to the lake that much anyhow, but it had to be better than the little duck pond. Even if the lake was minus the ducks. "I'd think it might be better when it's not autumn though. Warmer." Kind of like he'd said.

She gave him a look as he'd spoken again, even hypothetically suggesting he'd thought she would have said she didn't like him. Especially as it brought back the point last term when she'd thought he didn't. That wasn't anything she even wanted to consider again. "I more than like you," she corrected, finally getting past the moment and letting a small smile creep across her face as she remembered the park. That was a much better memory than that Potions homework from last term. And then he'd distracted her even more by correctingher use of the term 'normal', and she giggled. "That's true. Although I was just talking about the fact that so far it's been mostly just lessons. Nothing odd's happened yet."

Her giggles calmed down as he'd picked up on her mention of OWLs, however, and an apologetic look crossed her face. "I think we got distracted by other things this summer, once we were in the same place. But I did really well. I got mostly Outstandings and Exceeds Expectations, but at least I managed to pass them all," she replied. She wasn't forced to drop any classes for failing the exams, at least. Even if she still felt like she was horrible at certain subjects. She was still hoping he'd help her with Runes.
