He'd do a million other things first if the world was ending. Sheesh.

Accepting the book, he observed it's cover first before turning to a random page. Random page had random letters... neat... this would be fun. Right? RIGHT? "I'm sure it'll be fine, and if not... then I'll get by without it. I've been to France plenty of times without understanding things, this should be no different, right?" He didn't think so, but he knew it meant a lot to Emily that he learn, so he'd try. TRY. "That's what my mum says too," he said, nodding about the whole being young thing making it easier, "not sure I believe her yet, but she should know, she learnt heaps of languages." But she was one of them Ravenclaw's, that would've helped too. He wasn't a thinker though.

Zeke shrugged. "Mum used to live in Prague, so I think we'll be there a lot. Not really sure what the plan is, just that I won't spend much of any time in London anymore." This in itself was interesting, considering how long the summer break actually was, and Emily worked too much, how she was going to survive on a holiday that long he didn't know.


Leo had suggested some ways that Zeke could put into practice as a start to get his grade up in astronomy and hopefully understand it better. If Zeke chose to use the suggestions was up to him. Leo figured though that he’d at least talk to Airey to get a better understanding of what it was that he needed to work on to become better in the subject.

"You're welcome!" Leo said quietly as Zeke accepted the book on languages. Pulling a hand through his messy hair he shrugged. "You're probably right. But if you think it does you can always fall back on your English and ask the person you're talking to, to repeat what they just said in English." Given that Leo wasn't very fluent in any language aside from English. Luckily for him English was spoken literally everywhere.

"Oh, your mother is multilingual? Does she need it in her profession or is it an interest?" Leo wondered curiously. He resolved as much at least unless Zeke’s mother just had a big interest languages. It was possible. For most people it was either or. "I'm sure you’ll have fun in Prague it is if I recall my geography correctly the capital city of the Czech Republic so there must be famous places and sights to visit while you are there. You might even make some new friends that can help you learn the language better." Leo based that on the face that Zeke seemed to be likeable young man.
