He was pretty worried about his sanity too, for that matter. Trust his luck that he met such weird people.
"Yeah, of course," he said, handing it over to her and smiling a little. "It's a start. We all have to start somewhere, right?" She could get one or two colours in and he could finish it up for her. Or he could get the other one out of his bag, but that involved some amount of effort. Maybe he'd just settle for watching her solve the cube. That sounded like a plan.
"First, actually."
Eden took it and eyed it all over--examining what he had done so far. Merlin. She hadn't seen one of these in awhile--and since it was a muggle thing, she was sure her father had been astounded by it and probably stolen it from her. He wasn't usually interested in muggle things, but she could clearly remember him being FASCINATED by the rubiks cube.
She began the puzzle, doing her best to..not mess it up. It was difficult. But she felt like...HEY SHE WAS A RAVENCLAW, SHE COULD DO THIS? But her smarts weren't with puzzles...or riddles...or anything like that.
"Oh--" she looked up quickly.
"Your first year?!" she asked excitedly, positively BOUNCING at him.
"Wow--okay--that's so cool! You'll love it here--absolutely lOVE it--this is my second year HERE, actually, but I'm a sixth year." she grinned and nodded.
