Someone was CLEARLY in a bad mood. Why was she always like this around the others? wondered Simon for some of the times he'd spent with Agatha had been rather pleasant but awkward too. He gave her a small smile when she began speaking about the Gryffindors. "I know they came out of nowhere but we'll win next year. And possibly the year after that, right?" he said, trying his best to cheer her up just a little bit so that her bad mood wouldn't spoil the feast.

Simon watched as Agatha pointed her index finger at Grayson. What was even going on there? he thought as he glanced at Ethan, Adi, and Sophie, trying to see if they knew anything. The Australian was just completely clueless. Maybe it was better off to leave alone whatever bad blood Grayson and Agatha had in between them.

However Ethan simply shrugged in return. Seriously? His mate just shrugged? Well Simon was probably overreacting about the whole situation. Agatha could be very strange at times. She was basically an unsolvable puzzle with horrid mood swings. Merlin, what was she going to be like in a couple of years? Simon was sure that they'd all have to duck to get away. He nodded at Ethan's exclamation. "Yeah... Unfortunately the Gryffindors won and all and so its red," he said with a frown. At Ethan's instruction, Simon nodded. He pulled out his notebook and began taking notes. Then as if on cue after Ethan too noticed that Lolita was gone, she arrived. "She's here now. Wondered where she was before, mate," he said, lowering his voice. "I don't think it was just 'brushing' her hair." Simon had a feeling that he'd always have to keep one eye on his Arithmancy Professor. He was sad about that because he thought that she was a really cool person. Perhaps she just had really bad timing?

Simon grinned at Jonas. Yes, the year had gone by way too quickly. Way too quickly. But perhaps the next few years would slow down. He knew that statement would be a fallacy; however, he could keep holding on to something, right? He had to keep holding on to that. "Where are you from?" There was no time like the present to get to know someone new!

He turned to Adi and grinned. "I wish. That Go-Kart race was a blast. Who knows? Maybe Diagon Alley will have a carnival or something on where we can go Go-Kart racing?" said Simon with a nod. Despite being content with tying with his new friend, Simon still had a competitive streak in him. He was ready to win it. No matter what.

Then Simon turned back to see Grayson addressing him. He frowned at the mention of winter. Yep, it would be winter in Australia. At the mention of snow, Simon shook his head really quickly. "Yeah, yeah, I'll just be used to eternal winters," he snorted. Literally the boy was escaping one winter to head to another one. He shrugged his shoulders and continued. "Hopefully not, we rarely get snow but who knows? Maybe we'll get it over there." Perhaps if that was the case, he could see if he could stay in the States with some family from his Dad's side. But he didn't know his Dad's family too well. They had always been so distant. "But maybe I could go up North to catch a little sun. It'll be up in the 20Cs up there," he added.

A smirk played on Simon's lips too and he nodded, leaning in towards his mates. "I know a Ravenclaw who'll get us fireworks. A Hufflepuff who'll want in and a Gryffindor to tear it all down. Stage it correctly and folks, we could have the Cup in our hands," he said with a wicked grin. Whether the boy was joking or not was up to debate. He wasn't but he was playing it off like he was.

Right. So Grayson didn't know. Simon nodded and watched as Grayson addressed Agatha. His blue eyes widened when he realized what was going on there.

OH. OHH. OHHH. OHHHHHH.

He knew what was going on here now. So Grayson wasn't actually flirting with Agatha, was he? He was just trying to provoke her? Maybe he enjoyed provoking her? Was that some type of flirting and should he take notes? The blue-eyed boy blinked and then just shook his head.
