Zander kept his composure though, as this was the one office visit he actually wasn't totally nervous about. Congratulations Professor Moxley, yours is literally the only one!

And yes, yes it was food that he had.

"Hello, Professor!" he smiled cheerfully as he wracked his brain for an answer. Erm. Well actually he was just here to make sure that she still liked him being that they had a huge summer break without any time for cultivating the relationship. But he couldn't say that out loud, y'know? He'd sound like a try-hard. And Professor Moxley probably had no clue that he was trying to brown-nose his way into her favorites. Ahem. Totally had no idea, 'cause Zander is so totally casual. Totally.

"Well, I was just in the kitchens to get a snack, when the house elves offered me the entire plate of brownies!" Lie. He actually asked them to make him an entire plate of brownies. But she didn't have to know that small detail as it was irrelevant and counterproductive. "And here I was thinking I couldn't finish them all on my own, y'know?" Yes, yes he had rehearsed these lines. "So I thought I'd come and share 'em with one of my favorite Professors," INSERT HUGE, BUT INNOCENT SMILE HERE. Was it working?

Also, she had seen his OWL score, right? 'Cause it was one of his better ones and he REALLY needed someone to acknowledge how well it went. MHM. Important things. Also, he'd find a way to bridge the conversation and talk about summer or something. Old people loved it when you asked about that. Zander was sure.

Moxley was buying none of this not being able to finish a plate full of brownies business. The kid was a growing boy! A Gryffindor, no less. Surely he could manage them on his own but she wasn't going to let on that she knew as much, oh no. Meredith Moxley never turned down brownies!

"Why don't we take those into my office and you can catch me up on your summer, hm?" Moxley smiled and headed towards the door, beckoning for him to follow. They could chat and eat, then she wouldn't feel as bad about encouraging the kid's quest for favoritism.
