Definite honeymoon stage.
Why did people date...? "Err..." Sophie wasn't entirely sure if the boy was genuinely asking or if it was a declaration of frustration on his part - she assumed he was a single pringle - but she responded anyway, "Well... I know me and Tobes started out as besties. I mean, we met real early on last term, right after the first potions class, and at our first meeting we declared ourselves besties." She initiated it, naturally, but he also said yes. That was a big deal.
"We've kinda been inseparable since, and he's my favorite person in the whole world - I always wanna be with him and he makes me happier than anyone ever." There was no one like him in the whole world, she was sure of it. He was one-of-a-kind and the best guy to ever live. "He can always cheer me up when I'm sad and I always wanna do the same for him. I... care about him more than myself." Which was, a bit shamefully, very unusual for Sophie Brown. "Was kinda just... a matter of time before we started having feelings for each other once our friendship was so great, y'know?" That, in a nutshell, was why she felt that people dated.
Zahra Kettleburn was evil. Had to have been adopted because she was the spawn of something evil, for sure, not their Minister. "Agreed." Ha. Sophie made a face at Zander for calling her 'okay,' then shook her head. "You're okay, too, Z. Can I call you Z? Friends for sure." And she picked one of the flowers from the bouquet and threw it at him to seal the deal, a content smile on her face. Yay friends.
The Gryffindor kept mostly quiet as Sophie began to explain. Man, she must really like this Tofu person because she wasn't holding back. Normally this type of conversation made him beyond uncomfortable and incredibly itchy. Yet, this time there was a significantly less amount of itch. It was like the kind of itch after using a glob of anti-itch cream; still there, but muted. Maybe it was because talking to Lux about love was desensitizing him to the subject? Or maybe it was because he needed some help sorting out his own feelings about Beautiful Bentley? OR--
Was he having a puberty? That puberty thing that Aaron had warned him about.
Was THIS what becoming a man was all about?!?!
Nahh.
Zander would never admit it, but he was kind of taking mental notes about the things she said. It was all a bit too mushy gushy for him, but he needed some sort of basis for comparison. "You really like this 'Tobes' then, huh?" He didn't really need an answer for that. She had already said that he was her favorite person in the whole world, which sounded way to dramatic for his taste. But still. "Do you love him?" That was the big question. The Gryffindor had been throwing around the word love for a while actually, he loved Beautiful Bentley, but after hearing Sophies whole speech about Toby or whatever-his-name-was, he was starting to doubt if love was actually the right word to use.
Yes, Bentley cheered him up and made him happy like the Tobeson guy did for Sophie. Buuut, did Zander care for Bentley more than he cared for himself?... That was... That was big... And he wasn't sure if he did... Little did Sophie Brown know it, but she was helping Zander figure things out more than the Gryffindor could know. Maybe, maybe if he wasn't in true deep love, he could fix it! He could just fall in love with someone else, just like Lux had said! Except the hufflepuff had also said that it wouldn't be that easy.... But would it be any easier if he could figure out if his love was really love after all? Why was he even doing all of this thinking!? Sophie was the Ravenclaw, wasn't that HER job and not his? Could they go back to talking about the Cold Ones again? That was much easier.
He chuckled when he saw the funny face Sophie made at his comment. Hehe. Then, when she admitted to his 'okay-ness', he smiled rather proudly. Friends for sure? "Good." She was actually pretty cool and maybe she could help him get on Culloden's good side. As for the new name, "Z..." he said as if considering it. "It's actually got a nice ring to it. I like it." Catching the flower in his hand, he used the stem to help hold it on his ear. "How do I look?" he cocked his head to the side and let out another small chuckle. The flower probably clashed horribly with his Gryffindor robes and blonde hair. Not like he was going to walk out of the room with it still there or anything.
