AJ could totes be a Ravenclaw.

AJ laughed. Why did it always seem like Zander was unsure if he was happy to see her? He had a girl thinking that they weren't friends or something. And they were, right? Actually they were more than friends. They were adventure buddies. "Why so down? The speech should happen any moment." Hopefully, because if not she was going to start looking like Zander. "Do I?" This only made her beam more. "I guess I am just in a good mood." For now anyways. If that Ian kid caused her anymore trouble she was going to do more than just tackle him.

A few pranks? Not that was something worth listening to. AJ plopped down beside him. "I happen to love a good prank. What did you do?" The lion hadn't actually pulled many pranks this summer, but she DID whack a kid with a bat. That had to of counted for something. "My summer was fun. I REALLY enjoyed the sun." Although, who didn't after a winter like they had last term. No pets? These rules for pet ownership were really getting out of hand. "That's so stupid. I can't believe you have to be a certain age. What's one year gunna do?" Was he all of a sudden going to be so much more responsible or something? "Good. You deserve a secret pet." Everybody did. Maybe not Ian because he would probably hex it if the creature did something that he didn't like.

Was she laughing at him? O______O ?? What. But he didn't even do anything stupid yet!! ...? Raising a confused eyebrow he questioned the laughter without really questioning it outloud, y'know?

The Gryffindor shook his head, he wasn't "down". He was only just thinking. Thinking about why Beautiful Bentley was no where to be found! Where was she gone to? And was she going to come back before the speech? AJ was right the speech was coming soon and that meant food! Would Professor Beautiful Bentley miss the FOOD!?! "I'm not down," he totally wasn't. He just wasn't as happy as she always seemed to be. He was just worried. Worried for his Beautiful Bentley. That's all. Then at AJ's little explanation as to why she was so happy, he tilted his head. "Are you ever in a bad mood?" Because he wouldn't believe it until he saw it.

Watching the girl take a seat, Zander grinned a little. At least he wasn't boring everyone to sleep with the story of his summer. It would have been much more interesting had he been allowed to go to Greece. Ahem. But again, no hard feelings. Sort of. "Well CB is the one that convinced me to do them," he started, there was even a little pink rising up in his cheeks, but hopefully she wouldn't notice that. "So I went to that shop... The one in Diagon Alley... Weasles Wizarding Pranks or something like that." What was it called? Obviously it was his first time in that place, but hopefully it wouldn't be the last because there was so much stuff in there! He only bought a few things because he was saving most of his money for chocolate frogs, but he still got a couple of fun things and had a bit left over too! Maybe he'd give them to Kevin.

Anyways, "I used some dung bombs and this girl Abbi told me about weird beards so I used those once too and then there was this one thing that I put into their drinks to make them burp a lot, but I don't remember what those are called." All in all, it was actually pretty fun being the one pulling the pranks for once. His brother's deserved them too. Then the Gryffindor listened to AJ, who didn't really share too much about her summer other than the sun, which he didn't mind because SUN. "I'd do anything to keep it this warm all year," he admitted. Could they skip winter this year actually because he wasn't really sure how he'd end up reacting to the snow. Being stuck inside for a whole school year was more than enough to scar a kid, y'know? "Did you do anything interesting?" she had said it was fun after all. And then the pet thing, that kind of made him sad. See the whole not being old enough thing was a huge factor, but it was also because he had been planning making a trip with CB so that she could help him, except that didn't really happen. And he didn't want to pick one out without her! "I know," he agreed disappointedly. "Cinna said that I could do a shared custody thing with her cat though, so I guess I have half a pet for now?"


SPOILER!!: Headgirl!Lex will have to do though, we'll find a way to make it work

The fact his summer was uneventful spoke to something else entirely and she didn't think she could leave without him remedying it. "Could make a big boom out of the whole thing, if you'd like that its." After all, summer was still a long way off and Zander could develop even more epic plans before then. He wouldn't need her in that case and she'd hardly want to burden him...or herself if it came to that.

The enjoyment of the cupcake was slowly leaving his eyes, she could see it and at first linked it to maybe something being a bit off in the treat?...Was that it? The one she'd eaten earlier was just fine and no one else at the table seemed ready to drop dead so.....OHHHHH!!

Lex gave a playful roll of her eyes. "That's what the badge says, reckon it must be true." Though it could have all been one big hoax. Maybe the Headmistress thought it'd be funny given the conversation they had and right after the feast she'd be kind enough to take it back? "Lottie says it means I'm proper in charge but I like to think I was always proper in charge and able to do what I want." So.....theory blown away adequately, yeah?

The Gryffindor shook his head grimly. Nothing too eventful. His brothers got yelled at again, but that wasn't really that big of a shocker. Um... He did manage to pull a few pranks that he picked up at that shop in Diagon Alley, what was it called again? But that was hardly anything Lex would see as eventful. And he went to Diagon Alley all by himself a few times!! But other than that, nope. So a shake of the head would suffice. "Oh, what did you do this summer then?" Besides that field trip. She did go on it right?! Because how come every old person got to go, but he couldn't!! He was already fourteen! That was super old too. He could do Greece, he could really!! But ahem, he wasn't going to think about that this again. Because right. Anyways. Big boom? Looking around, he leaned in close and raised a brow, "How would I do that?" Because if she was referring to Kevin's exploding potion and the big-boom-feast, then she'd be glad or disappointed to know that their plans last term didn't go as planed. Sigh.

So wait, she really was headgirl then!? Zander was friends were they friends? with THE headgirl. Woah. That was like SUPER COOL, but Kevin probably thought that it was the worst thing ever and for some reason this thought made him chuckle a bit. "Does that mean you're going to yell at us more now?" and was this when he was supposed to wish her congratulations and stuff? "And congrats on the... the promotion?." Every since the whole saving the bed thing. She was totally a good person to be in charge.

She looked around but didn't see any empty seats near her friends so she sat and reached for some food before the feast was over.

Uhhhhh O____o why was his stomach being so LOUD?! Could it just shut up for another ten minutes because there was no way that it was actually going to take any longer for the food. And the speech. Heh. Yeah. The sortings were almost completely through and everyone was already situated. Why was it taking so long!! And where was Bentley?! Looking around the table in a rather tired manner, the Gryffindor spotted a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

BUT AH right as he went to say some--


SPOILER!!: SPEEEEECH

She paused to allow time for applause, because OBVIOUSLY that statement deserved applause. Copious amounts of it.

Next. "We also have some new and returning staff this term... Professor Tanner is back," hopefully they'd know that was Tyner, just married, "and we have some new staff in Herbology and on the grounds. Please give a warm welcome to Professor Walton and Groundskeeper Milliard."

Another pause for applause.

"Now, I look forward to a WONDERFUL term with no problems and a great, friendly competitive spirit in the House points race. Please do your best in your classes and make all of our new students and teachers feel welcome. Without further ado, let's eat!"

And nowwww the food and tea and other hot items were on the tables. Delicious!

thing, the speech had started. BOOOOOO. So instead he smiled and tried to pay attention to the speech, but it was already starting to bore him. So instead of listening to a word that was being said, he just leaned forward towards Mackenzie with a smile on his face. "Hi," Hopefully she was feeling better than she looked last time he saw her. And he wouldn't bring any of that other stuff up because he was going to be respectful and stuff. It was obvious that speaking about her family brought up weird things for the girl. And he didn't want any crying. Not twice in one day. Especially when it came from girls.


SPOILER!!: Another speeeeech xD

It is an existence and a very noble one. A strong one. History has proven that when it comes to Gryffindor that things are only impossible until they're not! Last term you were the house that came together in a true pride of scarlet and gold and broke the 10 year quest for the House Cup. A legacy I would very much like to see continue for many a reason, one being a rather selfish one in that I do not wish to see Healer Tillst--- Murdoch get to choose my attire for the end of term feast should we lose to Slytherin. We are a house the represents chivalry, bravery, comradery. You must be bold, daring, and attack every opportunity that comes your way. We are Gryffindors! And they are gonna hear us ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!"

BOTH ARMS UP IN TRIUMPHANT VICTORY POSE while waiting for others to roar with him YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


He didn't look back from talking to Mackenzie until mid... Flamsteed speech? Why was he giving a speech? Was it because Professor Bentley was late?! Anyways he seemed to have jump into the speech a little late, but he got all that important stuff. The stuff about Gryffindor being strong and not just a house and the cup and beating Slytherin or something. Which they would do. AGAIN. Ahem. He didn't quite feel the need to roar along, but the Gryffindor did raise his goblet into the air, isn't that what people did at weddings and stuff? After speeches? Either way he really wanted an excuse to take a huge sip of his pumpkin juice.
