SPOILER!!: totes okay. I haven't been speedy myself. :D

You know, most normal people would've taken the "trying to study" thing as a hint that they were oh, you know... Trying to study. But not AJ. Nope. She was not a normal person. Which wasn't a bad thing, just a uh... She was... unique. He'd give her that much. "You wanna help me study?" He must've been giving her the most skeptical look ever. No offense, AJ but... You just don't like the sitting down and studying type? But then again, neither was Zander. First time for everything though. Ahem. "But uh, yeah... Sure, if you want." It was nice of her to offer anyway.

The Gryffindor was about to continue when-- Whut. A cool dog? Where in Merlin's name did that even, "What?" tilting his head even MORE this time. Though, he'd take it as a compliment more than anything else. He like dogs. They're great. The best even. Not like cruppy level BUT ALMOST. Anyways, now HE was the one getting distracted and... Where were they? Oh yeah. Her open mind stuff. Whut. "Yeah, uh maybe?" he scratched his head, but tried to sound as convincing as he could. Though uh. Yeah.

Zander just watched couriously as she talked to her jar!spiders. Hm. Interesting.. Opening his eyes widely as she turned back over to him, he gave her an encouraging smile. "I am!?" No one had ever called him smart before, well besides Sophie Brown but she probably didn't really mean it. Just trying to make him feel better about himself. But AJ, she sort of meant it right? This made the Gryffindor slightly straighten his back and he couldn't even try to restrain the smile on his face. "Well, it, uh... Was nothing special, actually. I only remembered because I just went over that part in my notes," they had used the same spell to practice on with their jars and... Writing things down seemed like a good idea since the Ravenclaw Prefect did it so often. And he's A RAVENCLAW!

"It just takes a bunch of concentration though," he nodded. Merlin, he was actually enjoying this teaching stuff. Made him ACTUALLY feel smart, you know?

Why the surprise, Zander? "Of course I do." After all it was the least she could do considering what she was about to ask him. Plus you get more flies with honey or whatever that lame saying that her dad always said was. Cool. He was game. "Want me to quiz you or is it spellwork?" Because she could do either, and it was spellwork welllll, she would try really hard. Maybe a competition would be helpful. It worked for her anyways.

Awww. He even titled his head more, just like an cute puppy. "When you tilt your head like that you remind me of a dog." Geeze, get compliments often? If he was actually trying to convince her about this whole open mind thing he wasn't doing a very good job. Him being so cautious could work out to her advantage. Maybe he would be too scared to say no. Hmm... this could be interesting.

Zander, Zander, Zander. He needed to OWN his awesome qualities. "Of course you are, and don't let anybody tell you any differently." Insert finger snaps and neck swerving here. "You were still able to help me out." So that was special, and that sounded exactly like something a smart person who was modest would say. Zander was totes smart.

"I can totally concentrate." PFFT. AJ was known for getting distracted easily, but she was going to focus, she really was. So, um. She could make her spiders all big here, right? Yeah. As good of a place as any. Without any warning she picked up her wand and pointed it at the closest spider. "Finite." It was still small. Sigh. Did he have a while?
