 I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open
"You do." Andrew confirmed, unable to suppress his smile. Justine's influence on Andrew was perhaps in most aspects a little difficult to notice to anyone but himself, but since meeting Justine he certainly did an awful lot of blushing. "I know! Why would we even come up with a phrase like that? How can forgetting yourself among your thoughts ever be likened to brain flatulence?" He chuckled.
He smiled sweetly at the girl when she placed her hand on his. He was so certain Justine and everyone else would be okay - that somehow this would be fixed - that he could honestly look into her eyes and tell her that he knew she would be alright. He himself had attempted to look into the aging epidemic, but after a grueling night in the library, he had come up empty. Perhaps he would have another look later. "We'll fix this somehow." He said encouragingly, putting his free hand on top of hers.
"Just something I'm looking into for fun." He admitted, shrugging. "According to the professors, we won't even be looking into runes and vellums until next year!" He grumbled, dissatisfied with the slow pacing of Hogwarts' curriculum. Andrew was by nature a fast learner, and had grown bored with the subjects they were working with in most classes.
"Runes.. Symbols that can 'store' spells that can then be activated later without the use of a wand or any external magic at all. In theory, even a muggle could activate one! He explained enthusiastically. "Isn't that fascinating?"
