Yeah. MUSTN'T TELL LIES. Not because he didn't believe in that type of thing. But really just because he couldn't. Plain 'n simple. "I-um-uh... Sorry, Professor," he looked back down at his feet for a moment before perking his head up at the sound of tea.

Hm. Tea was always welcomed, actually. So yes he wasn't going to deny that offer. He was also just glad that she was keeping busy while his blushing began to calm down a bit. There. Now he didn't look-erm- as flustered as before. She hadn't really sensed the fact that he was that off, had she?

"Uh... Perhaps not, Professor," the Gryffindor sheepishly brought a single hand to the back of his neck, massaging it nervously. "But, just so you know... I, myself, didn't take any part in it," Zander was actually kind of disapproving about the whole situation. Well, uh, until he noticed it was his best mate AND his CoPrefect involved... In which case he just focused entirely on getting that blasted jar off Dot's hand because it seemed like the appropriate thing to do at a time like that. Yup. Of course when he found out about the flesh eating slugs that had made an appearance in Kevin's detention... Maybe Catman deserved it... "Oh, thank you Professor," he gently bowed his head (whut) as he took hold of the mug.

Staring down at the liquid for a moment before looking up in time to watch her take a long sip. ???? Wasn't it hot? Or uh... Could he drink it now too? ..... He waited for a second, just to see if Professor Moxley could handle it herself before deciding to take a sip of his own. Ahem.

"It was a lot of fun and... Sometimes people think that Muggle Studies is boring 'n all... So it's just refreshing to have fun lessons once in a while, you know? Teaches people that Muggles can be fun too." Not that he thought it was-- Okay, Zander thought every class was mostly boring. Except for creatures. And occasionally Herbology. But most of them. Though he would NEVER admit this to a Professor. He learned the hard way over the summer after admitting it to two UNSORTED Ravenclaws. #NEVERAGAIN. They were serious about their learning. "And I guess that's important to me since I come from a whole world of them... My parents are both nonmagical." Also might've slipped that in so that she'd be all impressed. A muggleborn who still showed up to Muggle Studies?! What a rarity. What a PRIZE student he was. ~~But it also had to do with certain reasons that he brought up in class too.~~

She was observing him now that Maddox's class was being mentioned. She'd heard, of course. Being friends with the guy and all. And as much as Meredith Moxley enjoyed teasing him, he didn't deserve what had gone on. If any of the kiddos tried that in HER class-Well, they wouldn't be happy with the outcome. "I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Adair. I'm a firm believer that you don't have to like all of your professors, but you should respect them." After a firm nod, her face softened. Being stern wasn't really her THING but she could be when she NEEDED to be. Also, the whole head bowing thing? Meredith let out a small laugh and shook her head. That made her feel like a QUEEN, did he know? She enjoyed it. Queen Meredith Moxley of Muggle Studies. Could she maybe get the kids to call her that...?

"We're not all that different and really, muggles are quite brave. As a Gryffindor, I've always appreciated that. Facing life without magic is hard, I imagine. That's why it's so beneficial for you lot to learn about them. To see how they work around the no-magic thing. To learn they're different but do all the things we do, so not really so different that we can't all get on." And see? Another child with non-magical parents. They seemed to be gravitating towards her recently, not that she minded. "My mum's a muggle. S'why I've always enjoyed learning about them. It's fascinating, the things they come up with!"
