Marietta could not stop beaming at the older boy who was in charge of like... everything. In her mind, he was practically the RULER of the student body. "So it's better than all the other houses' places to live then?" Marietta asked him. Because she wasn't sure how he knew that. Maybe he went and visited all the other common rooms and dormitories. Could he take her to see all of the others? "Mister Ruler Head Boy, sir, can you be my friend?" It would be nice to have the head boy be her friend because he probably knew everything about the school and if someone was mean to her, he was the ruler and could punish them. Yup. "I'm Marietta. But if we're friends you can call me Mari." Merlin. Someone owed him some sort of explanation. How come whenever the first years saw his badge they all thought he was some king of the world or something. But then most of the other kdis who already knew him either a) laughed in his face or b) probably laughed at his face after they said their congratulations. The world was confusing. And this little girl's smile looked like it could take up an entire galaxy on it's own. Slightly impressive. But mostly creepy. But somehow incredibly endearing??? "Oh for sure! Cozier too, definitely beats the dungeons that Slytherin has to live in." Just saying. But again, maybe he was biased. Just a little bit. He tried to emphasize the sentiment with head nodding and a goofy sort of smile, but then she went on to address him as "Mister Ruler Heady Boy, Sir" and he could feel the pink creeping up on his cheeks. He wasn't even going to try to correct her. And now she wanted to be friends? Oh. Well uh, that was nice actually. Amur would probably like to hear this too. "Oh uh, yeah, sure of course," he gave her a grin as he held out his hand. Y'know for like a hand shake or something? "Nice to meet ya Mari, and y'know, you can call me just Zander... Since we're friends now." Because although Mister Ruler Head Boy Sir had a nice and incredibly embarrassing ring to it, it seemed like quite a mouthful. SPOILER!!: Benny ;____; Quote:

Ugg...he was being more transparent than he meant to be.
He turned to face his friend and caught sight of Angel in the process, the younger lion visible over Zander's shoulder. Visible and appearing far happier than when he had left her. Could it be she was acting like he was? Benny had to shake the staring off before he could answer how he was. "It's fine," he remarked, not wanting to bring anything up at the moment. If anything they could talk out of earshot later on.
Besides....it appeared Mr. Head Boy was needed for other matters. Okay yes something was definitely up. And of course Zander would notice. They had shared a dormitory for six entire years, it was kind of hard to ignore the fact that Benny was incredibly out of it. The boy had been keeping to himself for all however many minutes they've been in the common room for. It was really worrisome? Zander wasn't sure what all to do... Or if he could do anything...
But he respected his dormmate and gave him nothing more than a skeptical nod, "Uh, alright, well... Y'know if you ever wanna talk about it or anything... You know where to find me," meaning like the bed right over, but no need to go into specific details. Zander would've tried to say more, but he was being put on the spot. .......
Wait, what? HE WAS BEING PUT ON THE SPOT???
Already? Merlin. At least let the boy have some time to roast a marshmallow or something, Professor. Where was the justice? The courtesy? The COMFORT? Had the man no respect?
Ahem. The Gryffindor tried his very best to keep from going pink in the face because he had practiced this moment in the mirror. Countless times, actually. So when the Astronomy Professor turned the theoretical mic over to him, Zander just stood there and smiled all goofy for a few seconds. Wait. Oh. His turn. Right. Yeah. Hi Gryffindor. Hi. "Oh, that's me, isn't it?" SMOOTH, ADAIR. "I mean, hi everyone. I don't know if I've gotten the chance to talk to all of you yet, but if you don't know me... I'm Zander Adair and this is my third year as a Prefect for Gryffindor and my first as Head Boy." Better... Just like in the mirror. "So uh, if you've got any questions, need someone to talk to... I'll be around, so just come find me, yeah?" Wait. He was supposed to say something about spirit right? Right. Riiiight. Just like he had practiced in the mirror. "Gryffindor has a really great reputation. We've been winning the house cup for a bit now and we've got to keep that alive. So let's all stick together and show Hogwarts what lions are made of!!"
Oh also one more thing. Sorry, Professor he was almost done. But he was also feeling loads better about this too, was it showing? "Keep an eye on the announcement board for some fun Gryffindor events coming soon," a la Puck and Zander. "And ROAR, ROAR GRYFFINDOR!!" Okay back to you, Sir.
Did he do okay? Were people convinced yet? Should he take his fist down from the air? Yeah. Maybe. Okay. Cool.
