Usually when she found herself hugging her students - which was beginning to become a habit, especially now - she found they stood limply, or pulled away soon... but not Zander, he seemed confident enough in himself to accept it, and returned it too.

And gosh, he had to keep speaking. If she wasn't on the verge of tears before, then she was now. Such sweet words, and it only made things harder. "Well, thank you.. you really have no idea how much that means to me," she replied softly, brushing away the making of a tear from the corner of her eye. Her bright smile though, was enough to communicate how happy she was in the moment. "And I meant what I said, I am proud of you... you're a stand up gentleman, Zander, what's not to be proud of?" He'd conducted himself well throughout the year and never gave her a reason to give him a stern talking to, never gave her reason to be concerned. It was easy with him, as bright - if not academic, as he was.
She loved it? Loved it!?!!?!?!
Love.
;_________;
The Gryffindor suddenly felt a HUGE pang at his heart. It was most definitely getting all melty. Maybe this meant it was time to leave before he said something stupid? Because he definitely did not need to repeat that word. The L-word. That word that he wasn't allowed to say. Not to her. No. Zander Adair don't you L-word a Professor. Don't you do it.
........
HOLY MERLIN, was she CRYING!? Uh. This was not the intention. Hopefully those were happy tears, right? Not the sad ones? Uh. The Gryffindor felt himself suddenly tense up. Should he comment on it? Would that make her cry more? But. It was just a tear. That didn't mean she was crying. What if she just had something in her eye or something? Yeah. Not tears. He could not handle tears. But, she was smiling. So she was happy? So was she happy that something was in her eye... Or were they just plain happy tears? The Gryffindor had no idea.
But he couldn't even think about the tears anymore because she really was proud of him. CODE RED. "I-uh-I.." And suddenly he was stuck. He was stuck because he didn't know what to say or what to do or even what to think. The flutteries were back on full force. He was blushing. And he was starting to get all sweaty again. And he had no idea what to say. And this was his cue. Suddenly remembering what Lux had told him about avoiding Bentley, Zander's eyes lit up in panic. "I-thanks Professor that.. It means a lot to uh to hear that from you," shifty feet and rocking back and forth was now a thing. "And well, I'm really glad you.." The word. The word. "L-loved it and I well... You know... I should probably get to class now, but I'm really glad I stopped by.." Could someone please give this kid a muzzle.
Because he just would not stop.
