Lux heard that older women got those, but she figured maybe boys could too. Zander certainly was acting like a woman with hot flashes as far as she understood it. "Do you want to go to the Healer?" Because even if he was feeling hot, it was very very cold outside, and stuffing snow down his shirt was not helping matters. It made her very very worried to see her new friend like this. "Why don't you put your clothes back on again?" You know, so that he didn't get really SICK or DIE. As brave as Lions could be, they weren't immortal and Zander was as susceptible to the cold weather as anyone else. "You don't have to tell me who it is if you don't want to." It was totally fine, she was a very curious person, but she wasn't going to force him to tell her who he was crushing on. "Butterflies are amazing though. It's a sign that you are in love." Giggling, she knew that it was a wonderful feeling; she loved it! But maybe Zander wasn't a big fan of the feeling, which was totally fine. "Do you want to get over this girl? Instead of dating her?" Usually people wanted to date the person they liked, but maybe Zander was different. Hey, he was removing his clothes in sub-zero temperatures so anything was possible.
Hogwarts has a poltergeist? That was news to her! Making a face, Lux was glad that Peeves had never shown up anywhere that she was. "I had no idea that we had one of those. I think I will try my best to stay away from him." Was he a fan of the Gryffindor Common Room or something? If so, no one had mentioned that to her as of yet. "I am terrified of ghosts, so I'm not sure how I would feel about a poltergeist." Yes, it might be silly to be afraid of the House Ghosts, but that did not stop her. Even though Tessa and Bay had tried to reassure her about them last term, she still wanted to hide whenever she even thought about Nearly-Headless Nick. And then there was that dead Professor who used to teach Astronomy or something. The only two ghosts she had ever seen, and hopefully it would stay that way.
It was no surprise to her that Zander would skip over the dates part, and that was totally fine with her because she didn't really want to talk about what she did with Bay on dates. Her personal life was personal after all. "I was with a few others in Hogsmeade and saw a mother and baby Unicorn walking down the street. I tried to feed the baby some candy, and the mother got mad. Professor Thompson came and helped us usher the Unicorns away from the street with some hay and grass." It was pretty interesting looking back on it, but she hated feeling guilty for what happened after she had taken Bay's potion. Meh. "I saw the Centaurs in the pathways. One of them came and wanted to speak to the Headmistress. He said that it's getting inhospitable in the forest so they were leaving it. He advised that we seek shelter too." Which she totally wasn't doing right now. Oops. "And then his friend joined and said that this third Centaur had been separated from the group or something. It was pretty interesting, and I learned not to address any of them as 'Mr. Centaur'." A good lesson in her book.
Lost in her thoughts about the Centaurs, it took a moment to register what he was asking her. Did she like macaroni? NO, SHE LOVED IT. "Does it have cheese with it? Because I love macaroni and cheese." It was one of her FAVOURITES and she could eat it ALL THE TIME.
Zander was sweating. But also shivering. But also hot. But also cold. SO CONFLICTED! There was so much going on in his head. And now Lux thought he was going insane?! MAYBE HE WAS GOING ISANE. No. Hot flashes? What the heck are those?! Can't a boy just be really hot in the middle of a really cold Great lake? CAN'T HE JUST BE. CAN'T HE!? "No, nope, uh, no, I'm A-okay! I'm peachy. I'm cool. I'm doing alright." he said trying to reassure her. But mostly trying to reassure himself. Why was he all nervous. WHYYYY. Zander shook his head to the other question. Nope. He did not need to see a healer. Or any doctor. Unless it was a looooove doctor. NO, HE IS NOT IN LOVE. Especially not with the herbology Professor. Nope. That would be absolutely ridiculous. Ha. As if. HA.
Okay maybe a little. Clothes back on? Yes! YES WONDERFUL IDEA, LUX! Maybe SHE should be in Ravenclaw. Zander reached back out for his jumper again. This time he pulled it on all the way. Ah. That felt a little better. AND NOW SHE WAS ASKING QUESTIONS AGAIN. WHY LUX WHYYYY!?!? Zander felt the claustrophobic feeling come back again. This time he opted not to remove anymore clothes, but instead found himself tugging at his collar. Why was it suddenly so tight? Was it always this tight? Maybe he should buy a size up next time. He is a growing boy. A growing boy who is also feeling very hot now! AH. "Yeah... I-I'd rather not say..... I don't uh, I don't think I want her to find out." That was normal right?.... Yeah. Thankfully Lux was backing off a bit. That was a good sign? Right? Right? Man. Love is hard.
Nope. Zander definitely did not agree. The butterflies were the WORST part of the whole thing! "The butterflies are okay... But the STABBIES they are NOT okay," Would she know what a stabby was? That was like the evolutionary form of the butterfly. And those ones hurt. Then Lux was giggling. WHY WAS SHE GIGGLING!? This is NOT funny matter. He is hopelessly in love and stabbies and hot and also cold and no this is not funny okay. This serious. Hmph. Girls. Then when Lux spoke again, she spoke a sudden stroke of absolute... GENIUS! Dang, the sorting hat really must've gotten it wrong for this one. "YES YES YES! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL LUX THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT! I WANT TO GET OVER HER!!!" But.... how?
Then as Lux went on to talk more about her fear of ghosts, Zander had a hard time paying attention. He couldn't stop thinking of Bentley now. And of being all hot and nervous. And now all cold. He just could not think about this other trivial stuff like ghosts okay? This was a serious matter going on! Then she went on about the centaurs. Man this girl could talk. Maybe the sorting hat didn't have time to put her in Ravenclaw because her thoughts were just as talkative. Hm. Maybe. Anyways Zander did like Lux and felt super rude for not focusing more on what the girl had to say, BUT HE NEEDED A DISTRACTION AND STAT.
AH, SHE LOVES MACARONI!? PERFECT! Zander wasted no time pulling out his two tubs of macaroni. He practically SHOVED them in her face. "Yeah! There's cheese and everything. I promise you'll love them. I worked extra hard. I didn't even get any in my hair or anything," like he had with the pizza in muggle studies. He felt the need to slip that disclaimer in there. Incase. Anyways, "I made these for the Ancient Runes homework! So one was made with Kenaz fire and one was just made regular in the kitchens. So I think you have to eat them and guess the difference slash tell me which one you think I made with what! You think you're up for it? I hope you are. They are really really good I swear!" He gave his most innocent smile as he brought the first tub towards her. That one was the second batch he made just regular in the kitchens. Hopefully she wouldn't realize that he was using the macaroni as a way of distraction. Because... he totally was and he definitely was not subtle about it... Oops.
Heh. Love does crazy things.
