But, that didn't mean that he wasn't going to contribute to the conversation; that would have been rude and he wasn't that. "Well, I'm sure that you'll do much better in Runes this term. I promised to help you out and I'm going to keep that promise. Outside of what I can explain to you now, I'll let you borrow my notes which explain basically what you should know for exams." Sure that was a bit early to be thinking about exams, but he was the one all concerned about NEWTs; even if there were other things to be worried about right now. Like what was going to happen with the holidays. Speaking of which.. "Well, I'm sure that my dad would completely understand that I want to stay at the school. He was the same way when he came to Hogwarts, not wanting to graduate. But anyway, I should know for sure in a couple days." If he had to go back home while she stayed here, that wouldn't have been much fun. But, going back home meant that he got to visit both his mom and his uncle that were hurt in one way or another.
As she went on to talk about getting owls, it reminded him that he actually had to owl Addison about some stuff; possibly send his brother the Christmas present that he had packed away in the dorm. Of course that depended on if he ended up staying here which seemed to cause him to return to his earlier train of thought. He looked away from the textbook again and stared at the table for a second; finally realizing that he still hadn't said anything in over five minutes. "Oh, how is Talia? And honestly getting owls isn't a bad thing; mind you it can get a little annoying after awhile. But I suppose, they both just want to keep you updated." At least that was what he thought, he had gotten a few owls himself from Jakob and Rachel; even though the latter had still been trying to ask him on a date when she very well knew that he already had a girlfriend. The mention of her best friend had just made him go back into thought over what was to happen in the summer, honestly; as nervous as he had been to be meeting some of the most important people in her life, he was also excited since it was a huge step. Even though she tried to hide it from him, a tiny frown flickered on Stella's face as Matt's attention went back to his books. She'd said she understood his focus on studying, and that she was willing to help, but in the same respect she couldn't help but feel a little slighted by the moment. And at least he'd still replied to her about Runes, which appeased her for the time being. "Alright. But I still don't know if I'm going to get that much better at them. Anything would help though," she said, glancing at her own small stack of books. She'd already seemed to get past her failure in Potions, even if it had taken a lot of drama and fear of Professor Lafay to manage that. Runes was her last hurdle, and she actually had the fear that the subject wasn't going to be as easy to figure out as Matt seemed to still think. She'd definitely try, and she had a feeling his notes would help a lot.The subject had quickly changed again, however, to the much more neutral idea of the holidays, and she nodded at his words. "Hogwarts really seems to do that," she said with a smile. Make people not want to leave, although she had a feeling she wasn't going to have too much trouble wanting to graduate next term. It was going to depend on how things went, since he wouldn't be there. "You'll tell me when you find out, right?"
At least her talk of owls seemed to get his attention back from the books, even if it had only moved to the table. "Sickle for your thoughts?," she asked, before he'd broken his own silence to look over at her with another question, and she blinked again. That was odd. "Talia's good," she said slowly, "Mostly just still worried about her classes and everything." That and continually telling her about the trouble Bogie was getting into, left alone while her sister was at the university during the day. At least the puppy couldn't bother Lyra, or even get into her room at her sister's flat. She'd charmed the door shut just in case before she'd left to come here. "I suppose," she agreed, breaking free of her mental tangent as she realized she might have caused an awkward pause herself. Even if it seemed like he was lost in thought again as well. "Risa keeps asking me questions," she said randomly. Just to break the silence again.
