SPOILER!!: Sophie Brown

This relaxation stuff was not working the way he assumed it was meant to. But he was really trying. And it was probably evident too, what with the way he was forcing his eyes to stay shut. Definitely evident. But alas, what more could he do... Really? Wasn't Arithmancy supposed to be about numbers anyway?

He was one of the first to open his eyes when time was called, still unsure of what question he was going to ask. How ironic. Zander Adair seemed unsure about a lot of things lately. Beautiful irony.

But that wasn't really important at the moment because they were picking partners and there seemed to be a handful of people that needed one. Immediately he looked around, on instinct, however, he knew that Arithmancy belonged to Soph. It was their thing. Ever since that one time when Tanner took them outside to do chalk. Always partnered up with Sophie Brown. As annoying as it probably seemed to everyone else around him... Zander knew this decision was already made and quite frankly he was sort of glad? Firstly, it was SOPHIE BROWN and she was gorgeous. And his GIRLFRIEND, like WHUT yes this was actually real life. Ahem. And secondly, he wasn't sure that he wanted anyone else to know his future...

Or lack thereof.

He did however feel a twinge of guilt when he saw Blaise looking around for a companion. Working with the boy probably would've meant regaining trust with him and maybe being able to more easily convince the boy to attend all his classes... But no, Arithmancy was Sophie's.

So he turned to face her right in the nick of time too because there was a question posed at him, "I'd be honored," he beamed widely. Heh. Duh. Work with the ~~prettiest and~~ smartest girl in the entire school? Didn't have to ask him twice.

There were SO many uncertainties and SO many things to be anxious about, and though she had a lot of her own things settled... She was worried about the young man beside her. Her boyfriend and HIS future, which... also meant their future. It was her future, too, if it was his. It wasn't that she was worried that his future wasn't going to be bright. No, she knew he would find his niche and achieve beautiful, brilliant things and change the world. That was the kind of guy he was. He was sweet and compassionate and more than just the silly Zander Adair most of Hogwarts saw. He was so much more than people gave him credit for, and that was what worried her: people discouraging him from achieving his full potential and plaguing his thoughts with rotten self-esteem issues. The views of his peers getting to his head and fogging his confidence that he had been building, and thinking he was going to be less than he really was. She was worried that he would fall into a toxic mindset of selling himself short, of thinking he couldn't be what he wanted to be, and of being too deflated by the world around him to discover what dream he wanted to pursue in the first place. That worried her. That the world would take its toll on him before he even got the opportunity to grab it by the horns and seize the day. "Partner?" she asked the Head Boy beside her, her eyes open and her expression slightly concerned for him. She could only imagine the kinds of questions he wanted to ask, but she assumed he trusted her to do his reading more than anyone.
