Did this mean that they would be seeing each other again? He couldn't deny that he wanted to see Aspen again, in fact this little adventure of theirs seemed so spur-of-the-moment and out of nowhere that he was half afraid a scheduled meet up would be entirely too normal for them. Just as he was trying to figure out if they'd both just agreed to meet up in the future, he was distracted by the suit of armor coming to life before them.

His expression lit up at the sight of the armor moving, bowing at them as a knight would. He was just listening to Aspen's words when he turned to look at her, only to find her own expression positively beaming with her own excitement.

"So you really grow to like it here, huh?" he asked, scanning her expression curiously as he compared his own mixed feelings about Hogwarts to Aspen's obviously excited impression of the castle.

His eternal smiling still didn't make sense to Aspen, but she found (interestingly enough) that she minded it less while holding hands. Or did she mind it less because it wasn't new anymore? Too many variables to be sure, but she liked the former theory better.

But now that she decided she didn't MIND that he smiled at her constantly, she couldn't help but dissect the smile a little. Cornelius didn't just smile at her - it was more than that. And the even stranger part was that Aspen was certain his smiles were specifically for her, in spite of her not actually doing anything worth a smile! Not really! Anyone could tap their wand on the suits of armor! Really!

"... You do. Or I hope you do. I hope you don't go home for Christmas break and never come back. I think you're a good addition to Ravenclaw."

Probably a weird thing to say, and even weirder since she'd stopped looking at the armor in favor of studying his face, his worrisome smile, and the way his eyes followed her expressions like they were trained to do so. Abruptly, she let his hand go. "Maybe we should head back to the Common Room. I ...left the window open."
