It wasn't so much that Hady was asking questions, but again, it was he type of questions she asked. What did it matter if they could leave straight away or not? But more to the point... "Why would we have to wait if we had the key to the door?" Legit question. It made no sense. "Nah, Flamsteed said we just needed out key."

...

"Why?" Seriously. WHY was she asking him this?

Head tilted to the side to see her better, his hazel eyes locked on Hady. An answer would be appreciated.

Why had she asked that. Honestly she wasn't entirely sure and the look in her eyes most likely showed that. Between what Maggie had told her, what the Apparecium had implied and what she knew about Zeke she was just trying to make sense of it all. The thing here being though was she had no idea why she even cared. It had nothing to do with her and yet she had asked anyway.

The way he was looking at her with those eyes she knew she needed to answer. He deserved one. Letting out a breath Hady lifted her own hazel eyes to meet his ones as she spoke quietly. "You're being completely honest with me so I'll do the same." Zeke always got the truth out of her even if she could lie and completely get away with it she wouldn't. Not with him. "I read about your detention in that stupid gossip page thing...and then um I spoke with Maggie that night after you both got out of detention I guess.." she paused to look down at her lap a second fiddling with the pendant around her neck before her eyes returned to his. "She mentioned that you left you here and that didn't sound like something you would do....so I er...I guess I was wondering why." Yeah. Sorry Zeke. And now she felt completely stupid for even bringing it up at all. She knew she should've left well enough alone.


There were a few things he'd come to learn about people in his insignificant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things 14 years - of which he could only really remember about 8 years with fairly good detail. Firstly, that when people sat idle to 'chat' it was usually a serious matter. Secondly when they had persistently unusual questions, it was usually serious. Thirdly, when someone emphasised the need to be "honest" or "true to" you that things were going to get real. Just WHAT, was Hady on about?!

"Uh huuuuhhhh," he prompted uncertainly. This was perhaps the Gryffindor's worst fear, serious talks.

At first though, he didn't get it. Okay, yes, there was the article or whatever. And she'd spoken to Maggie, that was, normal, right? Then again he didn't know WHAT was discussed, so there was an element of concern clouding that one. But in the end, he was quite honestly perplexed.

"Do something I wouldn't normally do?" he questioned. And just what was it that he wouldn't normally do? Kiss toads? Have detention? Swim in swamp water.. well okay, that one was plausible. And then it clicked.

...

"She told you I left her," he stated, somehow managing to tie in everything Hady had just referred to. But, she wanted to know why?

"Because she wasn't being fair." That's why.
