SPOILER!!: Zander

What is a boy supposed to do in these kinds of situations!? Does he just accept the fact that she doesn't want to be friends?! Or was his stare too intense? Okay maybe he should look at the floor too... Maybe she just liked how the floor looked. No, okay thinking too hard again. "It's a uh... very comfortable couch," VERY COMFORTABLE COUCH!? IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY, YOU IDIOT!? Ugh. Friendship is hard.

Zander let out a small breath, that he had been holding in, in relief. Phew. The last thing he wanted to do was upset the girl. That would definitely ENSURE that she didn't want to be his friend. And then she'd never make eye contact ever again. So yes, it's a good thing she wasn't angry or anything. "Practice?" he repeated as if it were a foreign concept. "So... did you, practice before you came to Hogwarts?" he asked curiously. It was intriguing. Especially because Josette did not strike (heh) Zander as the aggressive type. She was almost even as shy as he was. It was just neat to see that the girl had a totally different side on the Quidditch field.

Now it was his turn to be all startled and such. Zander definitely was NOT expecting Josette to jump so suddenly. But the worst part was, that the girl looked even more terrified than Zander did in that moment. He could really tell that it was bothering her. Without realizing what he was doing, he instinctively put his hand on her shoulder and gave her an earnest look. "Hey, it's okay," he said nodding his head attempting to reassure her. "I'm sure that the girl isn't holding a grudge...... It's not like you were trying to hurt her though, so it's okay," He nodded his head again. Besides I-I may not know a lot about Quidditch, but isn't the beater... supposed to send bludgers towards other players?

Was this the kind of boy her father had been warning her about? Was he dangerous? Josette couldn't quite figure that out at the current moment, although, she was having a bit of difficulty thinking that he might be, mainly because of what had happened just a few minutes ago on the balcony. But she couldn't help but feel that feeling of a bit of cautiousness when he was looking at her more times than she could count, well from what her peripheral vision was telling her was anyways. What was that he'd said? The couch was comfortable? Josette slowly turned to look at him before feeling the couch with her hand to test that herself. She bit her lower lip before nodding in agreement, "Mhm..I-It's pretty comfortable.."

Taking notice of this breath he had just made, had been a bit curious to the twelve year old. Was he trying to hold his breath or something? Wasn't that particularly dangerous to do? Wouldn't he faint from holding his breath so long? Well, at least that's what her father said would happen, or worse. But he won't tell her what that worse thing is though -Oh he was talking. Her attention being brought back to him as he'd questioned her answer to his question about Quidditch. Wasn't practice the answer though? "Mhmm.." But then he asked another question, had she practiced before coming to Hogwarts, to which she shook her head no. "N-No, I'd n-never played before I started c-coming to school here..M-My father wasn't very happy at the t-thought of me flying..H-He says it's too dangerous.."

Josette quickly adjusted herself & tried calming herself down after seeing that it was she who had startled the boy this time. Just as she was preparing to apologize again, she froze almost instantly as she watched him suddenly reaching out towards her to place his hand on her shoulder & give her this...look. With a bit of a confused & upset look, she looked back at him as he spoke. It looked like he was trying to comfort her or something, OH- that was what he was doing! But still she was very upset about the whole thing. "I-I know..I-It's just...I felt s-so bad after it had happened..Before then I-I had never actually hit someone with a bludger...I-It was pretty scary..."
