Dora actually DID plan on taking pictures of him, and if he wanted proof of how silly he could be then she was happy to oblige, snapping a few of them, a few of all his poses even his sideways position. "I saw it, but I didn't eat it." She turned the camera on herself and snapped some silly pictures. "No one's eaten it so far as I know." Because of reasons that were Alice's alone. And she understood them only completely, because Dora just got all things that were Alice being her best friend and all.
"I bet," She paused, and passed the camera back over to him, her gaze turning thoughtful. The fourth year was having a serious internal battle with what she wanted to say to him about things. Mostly she just had questions that she was sure others wouldn't want her to ask. So she just went for... well she hoped it was a safe thing to say. "I bet that she'd still be friends with you if you wanted. I mean like hang out and stuff. You don't have to not I don't think, and even if rules say so just ignore them."
Dora shrugged and kept looking at him. She was still trying to understand this whole... thing. And him right this moment. He was usually Hufflepuff happy all the times she'd seen him, but now he was all... something. She didn't know what it was. Not Mo she supposed.
"You, my dear Dora, are a true Ravenclaw at heart," Mo pointed a finger at Dora and wiggled it in her direction. She
got house spirit. She got house pride, even. He grinned slightly, then smushed his face against the seat at her scrutiny. He liked being behind the lens rather than being captured forever on film.
He stayed like that, nose pressed against the seat, as Dora spoke about Alice. On the one hand, her words were unnecessary. They were exactly what Alice had said, and there was no need for Dora to just repeat things. On the other hand... part of him had trouble believing it, and it was a relief to hear Dora assure him.
He sat up, pulling the camera into his lap and just holding it there. "Everyone knows, d'you think? Already? It only just happened, and already..." He sort of loathed how stupid and pathetic he sounded at the moment, so Mo forced out that odd, tight smile and pretended everything was fine. "I know we're still friends, though. We were better as friends, and now she can be... with who she wants. Friends want what's best for each other, you know? But I do wish she'd eaten the crown. It's a shame, since it was for her birthday and everything. You suppose it's gone all stale and inedible?" Priorities. Candy over feelings.
