There was still so much to be done in life, so much more to live through. "Not every." She said, giving it some thought, "I've seen a few cowards dropped into our house on accident." She remembered that year at. It was actually Michael's first year and he was just about the only one happy to be a Gryffindor.
And he was bringing up a good point. This was why they needed to ask someone else...if they didn't run into it themselves. "I think I've heard of him. Dunno how he died though but they have a plaque of him up in the Tower Patch so that's a possibility." Quite the mystery they had on their hands wasn't it?
Lex was still watching the statue and trailing her gaze along the corridor before them leaving her occupied in the silence that followed. If anything, he seemed as shocked as she was a minute ago. Kinda odd considering he started it.
She was about to suggest they keep walking until they hit the staircase--hopefully not literally like what just happened with the statue--but finally he spoke and was starting to sound like a Gryffindor again. It was certainly an impulsive action, one he'd been meaning to do for however long that might have been. What she absolutely wasn't expecting was the three year crush. Wow. Just wow. She knew exactly how that felt and it sucked. All that waiting and nothing. "I'm surprized you didn't give up." She muttered, not knowing what else to say. Merlin knew Lex was rubbish at this stuff. "Cowards in Gryffindor? Nooooooo that can't be."He chuckled softly. Michael was pretty sure that not all the houses had students that filled every single requirement. "You know, there are different kinds of bravery. It doesn't necessarily have to mean putting your life on the line."
He didn't know how the man had died either but if the man had been very attached to his subject and the school he taught at then maybe his ghost wanted to hang out there. It was quite a mystery. One that he wanted to figure out. "Maybe we should head up to the Tower Patch instead of going down?" Just a thought.
Besides they might be able to take the cloak off up there and perhaps they could even talk about what had just transpired between them. Except that Michael didn't want to wait to talk about it. He had waited long enough to let his feelings known to her. "You're worth waiting for." He murmured, wishing they could take off the cloak and talk properly. Or at least find somewhere not so dark so that he could see her face. He pushed all those thoughts aside for a moment though because there was one question he needed to ask her. "So...um...what does that mean? For us I mean?"
