 #6 Wowza!
Ezra waved his hand dismissively at Noe's comment because if he encouraged her with a simple thank you, there was always the possibility that she'd launch into an hour long speech about something he didn't particularly care about. It was possible he was exaggerating, a little bit, but that was irrelevant; the point was that November didn't need him to say anything because she often said enough for two or three people, and because, well, she appeared to be quite busy with a fellow Ravenclaw.
Carver thought he looked familiar enough to be a fellow first year, but not familiar enough that he remembered his name. Ezra shrugged, nevertheless, because it was none of his business, but November's, and as far as he was concerned Noe could have as a boyfriend, if she wanted. He'd have never imagined she'd date a bloke who wouldn't even act like he was polite enough to say hello to the other people using the same table November was, but gran always did say love made people blind.
He focused on his work, then, thinking that love didn't sound like good idea at all. "Hmm," He hummed to Jefferson Arnold, who looked considerably healthier than before. Ezra touched the jar with his index finger, and thought he could feel heat coming from the inside. Then he quickly snatched it away, and told himself it was his imagination. "I should tell you, I can't sing." He'd never tried, though he couldn't imagine he was very good. "You probably don't want me to sing, though, yeah? I reckon you're probably sick of hearing people sing." Ezra would certainly be. He leaned forward, and squinted. Was it just him or as his star turning a little bit pink?
"November," Called Ezra, demanding his friend's attention. "Is it just me or does my star looks a bit pink?"
As usual, Ezra didn't wait for her response. Merely, he flattened his stolen notes again, frowned at the spell, and pointed his wand at the jar. "Cumugasalis," muttered the boy, flicking his wand twice. The shade of pink lessened, but not entirely. He tried again: "Cumugasalis!"
THERE.
