It was easier this way though, the shutting off. Meant he didn't have to think about things because things were the last he wanted to think about.

He wouldn't have even brought himself into the office had it not been for the gentle tug from one Sophie Brown, but she managed to pull him inside to where he made the decision to sit on the nearest armchair. Not that he really had much of a say in this whole decision making thing, actually. He didn't even look over at Sophie all curiously as she searched the potions shelf. He just sort of found a nice, interesting looking place on the ground. Actually, no it wasn't interesting at all, but he was still going to stare at it.

He only lifted his head to shake it at Sophie's offer. No, he didn't feel like laughing right now. And back to the ground his eyes went. What was he doing here? And could a potion really fix what he was feeling inside, right now?

...

The deal was, Zander'd lost a friend. Cosgrach knew the feeling - that nothing would be the 'same'. Kevin was exluded from Hogwarts, and Zander had lost his best friend, period. The man sighed. "The cheer up potion is in the sweets," he said, and offered the bowl to Zander. If he didn't eat by his own consent, Cosgrach was ready to force it down.

"We can talk about him if you want. Or we can tell funny stories. Or... hug or something. To show ya you aren't alone and have other friends." What did he want?

Zander was dead inside, Sophie noted, and wished the boy would say something, but there was no life behind his eyes - no, he looked like the world had ended.

Helpless, Soph looked to Culloden for guidance.

Of course, she knew that there was cheer-up potion in the sweets, but... wasn't there something STRONGER they could use? More effective? She chewed her bottom lip softly, unsure of what to say or do, but when Culloden continued talking, Soph nodded a few times and crossed to sit on the arm of the fancy armchair Zander was sitting in. "Yeah. And you can cry, too, if y'want. Everyone cries. I've seen this nerd here cry like twenty times in the past few years," she grinned, her eyes flickering up to meet Culloden's briefly but falling back down to reside on Zander again. "You're in good company. Not alone," she reminded again, reaching to encouragingly take hold of one of Zander's hands. "Y'can do and say anything y'want."

If he started breaking stuff in a rage, she would personally repair it all, so Culloden didn't have to worry. Heh.
