He gave his mate an affectionate pat on the shoulder because despite popular belief (thanks to gossip spreading throughout the whole school of him being a hugger), Simon wasn't really into hugging. An affectionate bro-pat would do. Or a high five or fist pump. Those were cool options. "You doing okay, mate?" The Gryffindor smiled weakly again, and chuckled. But it was more of a nervous chuckle than anything really. "Yeah well... We'll see about that," he would've at least attempted to wink back, but he was feeling to twitchy. So no. Not now. Maybe later after he had gone through with the deed. Then. Then Simon asked, and he knew the Slytherin would pick up on his weird mood. Simon was good at that. Understanding. "I-I yeah I'm okay..." he smiled nervously, shaking his leg under the table. But he couldn't do it. He couldn't lie to one of his best mates. "I-just-I Simon, I'm so nervous!" and just to show how nervous he was he held his hands up in the air in total exasperation. SPOILER!!: The concerned Adi Quote:

It was obvious he looked down. Way to point out the obvious, Adi. The third year shook his head vigorously. He was most certainly not okay, but nobody else needed to know that. Not now. Not until after. So instead he laughed nervously. "I'm just... Just you know.. Nervous about the train home.. Uh... What if it doesn't work you know?" Because of the cold weather. It looked like things were warming up, but who really knew what was actually going on out there? Not Zander that's who. Of course that wasn't the real thing he was thinking about. But that's as far as he was willing to explain at the moment. Uh. Could they have their food now so the questions could stop? "Anyways.. Uh-you-you have any plans for the summer?" SPOILER!!: Cinnnna Quote:

Turning away from Adi, the Gryffindor spotted another friend. It was weird to say friend so much. Especially because this was his first time having SO many. Just weird. His legs were still doing the shaking thing, and he was still feeling pretty sweaty, but he managed to return Cinna's wave and watched as she made her way towards them. "Hi Cinna," and now back to staring at the empty plate and the imaginary peas. SPOILER!!: Prefect! Lex Quote:

Finally, she tilted her head and fixed him with a solid, curious look. "You sound like a kicked puppy and you look like one too. What happened?" And did she really want to know. This end of term would be tainted for her the moment she went to the snake table, did she really want more bad news before then?
Decisions. "But I don't see what's not to believe, we're awesome. The Hall should look like this every year." But how would she know? She'd be leaving soon enough. Its not like he was happy about the victory-- because really, he was. It was just... It was just hard being happy when you were too busy being nervous about the rest of the feast. There was just SO much to be nervous about. The first being the delivery. The second being the Kevin thing. But he really was happy, not a kicked puppy.
That analogy did make him wince just a little. He did like puppies. "I... I dunno..." Would Lex be mad if he explained the plans with Kevin? Because he definitely couldn't tell her the other bit. "I... I'm just worried about Kevin, have you seen him yet?" Lie. Actually he'd be more relieved if Kevin didn't show up at all, meaning that they wouldn't have to go through with the plan. Ahem. Anyways. "We are awesome," he agreed nodding his head. He really did love the Great Hall like this. He did. "I'm just glad we showed the snakes what we're made of," he smiled weakly. SPOILER!!: MATE Bay Quote:

I’m back now and a bit wobbly so I can take up as much room as you’d like me to” winking over at him. ”yeah everyone seems to be hating the cold.. they should just start more fires… that would be an awesome thing for them to do” he laughed and then his face went more serious… ”wait. Culloden gave you a potion to give to me” red alerts were going off in his head.. DANGER DANGER he thought as he asked Zander some more questions about it ”Dude… do you know what it is?” he hoped he did because all Bay would be doing was to be putting it in his pocket and never drinking it if he didn’t. Zander smiled at Bay. Ah, how he missed his first mate ever. A lot. "Bay... Do you-do you think you can help me with some spells next term?" With the sixth year being gone so long DADA and transfiguration were kind of a struggle. He had a lot of catching up to do and Bay was pretty good at this magic stuff. So hopefully the boy would be willing to help the younger lion out a bit. It'd be much appreciated. "Yeah, Fuller taught us some insulation charms... But not until a few months ago so it didn't really do much," he sighed. Like why would they learn that AFTER the worst part of the storm had hit?
The Gryffindor looked up from his bag to face the older boy again, "No, no I promise it's nothing bad," he continued searching before-- AHA! Finally. The Gryffindor pulled out a small vile and held it out to his mate. "He said..." The boy furrowed his eyebrows for a minute, trying to fully remember what Culloden had told him. Hm. He was so focused on the fact that the Professor was going to steal his bed- WHICH HE NEVER DID- to fully focus on the other potions he was holding. Hm. "Oh yeah... He said it's a claming drought... He gave something to Lux too, for animals and said that the two would go good together or something?" SPOILER!!: AJ Quote:
Originally Posted by PhoenixStar Something was definitely up with Zander, but she had no idea what it could be. Other than a passing hi here and there, and them going on adventures together, AJ didn't really know that much about him. Of course she didn't need to be a Ravenclaw to know that something wasn't quite right. "Don't tell me you actually wanna stay here?" Hogwarts was cool and all, but the whole snow thing had pretty much done her in. "We DID do it, so cheer up dude." AJ fist bumped him, and flashed him a smile. What could he possibly be sad about? All of the lions should be on top if the world right now.
Looking up from his plate once more he twirled the fork with his fingers. "I... I mean it's going to be good to go home... But I'll miss it over the summer," he admitted. Actually the entire term, home seemed like the best place to be. Warm under his own blankets, without the cold. But now, now it fully occurred to him as to how much he DIDN'T want to go home. Not to his brothers. Not after this year. "Are you ready to go back?"
This one was most definitely a Gryffindor. Everything about the first year shouted lion. It was admirable actually. He managed a smile, but deep down he was still freaking out. There was just so much he had to do before they left!! "Cheer up? Yeah, yeah I will," after the delivery. If things went well anyways. He smiled again, and returned her... fist bump? SPOILER!!: Emmy!

Emmylou wasn't going to lie because she couldn't wait for summer either. She was going to lay out in the hot summer sun all day long because she was sick of this cold and everything. "How are you?" Emmylou smiled at him and gave him a quick hug.
O________O
Hug. The Gryffindor's eyes opened wide at the surprising gesture and awkwardly patted her back during. Uhum. Hug?
Hopefully he didn't have back sweat. Merlin please no back sweat. "I-uh-I'm okay," he lied. Nervous. But okay. Sort of. "How are you, Emmy? Uh, excited to go back?" Noticing Lux he gave her a smile too. He was getting better at it now. The smiling even though basically dying on the inside thing. SPOILER!!: Kace Quote:
Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin "Hi Zander.." he nodded in return. AAhhhhh right the trapped situation. Some people didn't take it well. It seemed Zander didn't take it well either. I mean Kace didn't like being cooped up too. "I am hoping to go away for the summer but I highly doubt it since I signed up for an internship this summer.." he shrugged. He hoped he would get it. If he didn't get it, he wouldn't be heart broken. There is always next year.
The Gryffindor played around with the fork in his hand again. He just couldn't seem to keep still. His leg would stop shaking and he was still passing his fork around restlessly. THE FLUTTERIES MERLIN THE FLUTTERIES. "Internship? Where?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Lockhartian "Finally! It seems we've been waiting for summer to come, like, forever ago." The Gryffindor's ears perked up a little bit-much like that of a chihuahua's. Was that older girl talking about the mysterious weather change? Zander looked over at her and squinted a bit. Ooooh wasn't she the one that was giving him those funny looks at the research meeting?! No one had briefed the lion on what exactly had happened, so maybe this girl knew. [size"1"]"Psst, hi I'm Zander,"[/size] Nervous or not, there was one thing that would most definitely temporarily relive him from his stress. Knowing that Romanos was finally going to be put where she belonged: Azkaban. "You, uh, you don't happen to know about exactly who had... You know... Been responsible for the wonky weather do you?" And at that he suspiciously eyed Romanos. Man.
