Yeah, she wouldn't risk her life to save Milton, but she probably would risk her life trying to save Lex, you know? Or those she cared about.
Time to face the ultimate truth. "Basically, the plant would've eaten you if others weren't around to save you." Though she was failing to see the point in saving him, quite frankly. "We're only looking out for you." Cue sweet smile. Also, he might get picked on a lot if he got to stay, but they're not mentioning that, right?
Right. Not everyone was a Gryffindor. That got an eyebrow raise from this Hogwartian.
Still. Smile! Quote:

And because Anya was the most adorable thing on the planet.
Milton immediately wrapped his arms around his best friend as she crashed into him and he sort of helped her onto the bench so it wasn't such an awkward hug position. He hugged her tight for several quiet moments before finally saying something. "I'm not dying, you know," he said lightly. And he wasn't even going to play quidditch, so his chance of dying anytime soon was a little lower than usual.
Derp. Another nudge to the ribs. Why did people like doing that? "I'm sorry, did you actually say something nice to me? Or are we joking again?" Milton was teeeasing, of course. He and Addy had a quite teasing friendship anyways and he enjoyed poking fun at her. "I will miss you too, I have to admit. I won't have anyone to talk my ear off when I don't want them to anymore, so, that's something." He gave her a cheeky grin. Heh.
This was... a lot to take in all at once.
Milton watched the two of them and listened attentively, making sure he didn't miss a word they said. It was all very interesting to hear, too. He found it amusing that they were convinced Milton was really too dumb to graduate, and that he had cheated the system. Or just got lucky. To be honest, he was a little perplexed by that, too.
As they rambled on, Milton's arms folded over his chest and leaned against the table. Apparently, he should stay behind at Hogwarts forever because he was too dumb to survive in the real world and the only people that would save his butt were in this castle.
And, of course, Lottie brought up the plant. Milton tried not to roll his eyes. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE, YOU KNOW. But of course, they were only looking out for him. Snort.
Once they seemed to be done talking, Milton nodded veeery slowly, trying to form his thoughts into words. "Well, first of all, I'm flattered that you want me to stick around forever." That was saying something with these two girls. "I'm also insulted and rather impressed that you managed to call me an idiot ten times without actually calling me an idiot, so good job there." Look at them, being all Ravenclaw-like and stuff.
Then a little smirk grew on Milton's face. "If I didn't know you two any better, I'd say you just want me to stick around because you liiiiiike meeeee." Yeah? Come on, he had to have grown on them. He was amazing, after all.
Milton snorted. "Aww, come on. Just my shiny head? What about my... plump lips?" Milton smirked and wiggled his eyebrows before making kissy faces at Beezus. Heh heh heh. She couldn't deny, they were fabulous.
Milton shrugged and waved it off. "No problem, man. You thinking about playing after Hogwarts?" He could probably get some good post-Hogwarts training and manage to go pro. He was his best chaser, after all. "I'll be working at my dad's pub for a while until I figure out what I want to do. Just kind of rolling with the punches, taking whatever life gives me, doing whatever I want." And that was perfectly okay with him.
Oh, she noticed. Milton was pretty sure it was obvious, though. "I am happy. Aren't you?" Because it was SUMMER time. And then adult life time, and Milton was finally free.
While he was talking with the other, Milton spotted his little beater buddy occasionally looking at him. Finally, Milton just nodded to him. "Hey, Mo. You ready for summer?" AKA, did he want to say something? because he really looked like it.
That was actually an inspired idea and Milton should have considered it. Staying forever wouldn't have been so bad. What were the odds of another man eating plant showing up here? See that Milton? Perfectly much more safe than stepping out into the real world and being eaten by a dragon...not even a Gryffindor would save him then.
Uh-huh and Lottie directly brought up the plant. It was one of there strongest points in this arguments you know. It took everything in her to not sigh at the memory. Bloody plant took it's time. What ever happened to not playing with your food? But that wasn't the point now was it? No. The point was that they all saved him and that if they'd all decided to sit around one large fireplace and drink hot chocolate while he was screaming down in the greenhouse then he wouldn't be here now. People in the big world preferred hot chocolate to daring feats of blatant stupidity for people they don't like. Think about that.
She kept her expression nice and pleasant as he took a moment to organize his thoughts. It was a lot, but it was important and needed to be said. Once he started talking they'd know if he understood.
...
Lex beamed at him. Heh, he'd noticed the oh so subtle insults. Good on him. She could almost pat him on the back for it...but she didn't because of the next thing he said. Blink. Blink. MERLIN!
She took a step forward, closing the distance between them both then tapped his head a few times with her knuckles and her own head leaned in close enough to listen. After a few taps she looked to Lottie. "It sounds hollow. There couldn't have been much blocking the information from getting in; how in Merlin's beard did he misunderstand everything we just said." This was serious Lottie! He was even worse than they thought!! Don't graduate Milton, you'll never survive!!
