Lux had invited her on the picnic last time so Ana should be the one to suggest doing something with Lux this time. "It's just my older siblings did so well on their OWLs. The worst either of them got was an E. My mum tries not to show it, but she'd be really disappointed if I did any worse than that as well. So I have to revise as much as I can, especially for subjects I'm not naturally all that good that," Ana explained, as if to justify her own study habits. Her mum was nice, all just do your best and it'll be enough, but she still remembered the disapproving looks she'd get from her when end of year exam scores were less than brilliant.

"I wouldn't abandon you though, I like you far too much to do that," she reassured him, being completely serious, as she could tell that he'd been serious before. She might get a little distracted sometimes but Ana always welcomed Terry's company. It was certainly preferable to studying, although she might take him up on that offer of revision help soon. He might still be able to accuse her of studying too hard, but at least he wouldn't think she was abandoning him, or some such. "Which reminds me, you should meet my other friends sometime. I think you'd like them and I'm sure they'd like you," from what she could tell they'd fit well together. Plus if she hung out with them all at once it would make things easier, although she would still like to see them all one on one too.

"Are you sure? You don't have to pay for me," Ana asked as she perused the menu herself. Although that didn't do her much good since she didn't know what any of the food tasted like. "What's good here?" she finally asked, giving up on looking at the menu and looking back up at Terry. She didn't know what she wanted and he'd been here before so she might as well get his opinion. Besides, she trusted that he had good taste.

These names were so unfamiliar to the Slytherin but there were hundreds of students at the school and it wasn't like he would know every single one anyway, especially if they were in a different year or house to him. "Well make sure you don't abandon them either" he smiled. "Believe me, OWL's are extremely important but they're not worth losing friendships over." Not that he thought she would but it was a possibility. And studying wasn't fun, you always needed a short break every once in a while. He couldn't help but frown a little when she spoke of her family and her mums potential disappointment. "You shouldn't feel like you have to live up to them" he protested. "You're your own person, you might be 300 times better at something than they are but not so good in others. It all balances out." Like Terry's talent lay with certain subjects and he had to drop others because he really wasn't very good at them.

His lips curled up into a satisfied smile at her statement as he watched her. "As much as it pains me to admit, I like you quite a lot too" he teased. He nodded as she spoke of meeting her other friends, perfectly happy to socialise and get to know more people. "Why not? It helps to make connections across the school" he grinned. That was one thing he didn't mind doing, meeting people no matter their age or house. Yes, he was probably closest to those in his own house but that didn't mean he had no friends in others.

Why would she even question that? "Of course I'm sure" he nodded, knowing fully well that he had intended to pay for her since the day she had asked him to accompany her. "I'm not going to let you spend your money on trivial things like eating out." She might need it for other purposes. "It depends what you like" he answered her question with a small shrug. "I love the fish and chips but I've heard the sandwiches are pretty good too." Urgh, he was so hungry.
