And as she went to launch herself at ZANDER she was mindful to throw her 'bow in the general cutty direction. "Thanks, Zander. I mean it. You're like a big brother." Because her brother was 4 minutes younger than her so she had no idea what having a BIG brother was like. Heh. Releasing him from her bear (or lion) hug she scooted herself into the seat on the OTHER side of her Lion King. Quote:

Was that his sister?
He ducked his head out of the way of irrelevant witch no. 3,497 because oncoming body part and watched as she latched onto Zander and hugged him tight and wondered -with a smile -if it was possible to vomit even having eaten nothing at all. He swung his legs out in time to see a bow heading right for him. With his wand in reach he reacted instinctively, casted at it and sent the butterfly flying off. Botros came to the end of his speech and that meant food. "See yew cats lateh. I'm headin' back to the snake table." He turned and blew a kiss at Miss Hanover and was off.
Zander had to TRY VERY HARD to stifle any laughter as Dora made her way over to the other side of the table, whilst trying to elbow Cutty in the process. Of course if she had actually elbowed him, it would've been another story of 'what do i do in this situation', but as Cutty was a very quick man this was just very funny. Dora is a fighter, that's for sure.
He couldn't help but grin, wiggling an arm free in order to give Dora a squeeze back. "I'm gonna miss you, kid." AHem. So much for staying away from the whole cheesy thing. If Kevin was here, he'd totally be frowning at all of this.
Zander through a smile over at Cutty as the boy began to turn around. "See ya around, Cutty!" He meant it to. Friends. They were friends after all the weird interactions. "Let's enjoy the rest this though?" Meaning no more focusing on the fact that he was going to leave her behind here. Because those were very depressing thoughts. SPOILER!!: AJ!ughfeelz Quote:

It was as if they had a mind of their own. Her arms wrapped around him, and Zander was getting an official bone crushing hug from none other than AJ. Feels took over man. That sort of thing happened a lot with her. She was a spur of the moment kind of girl. "I'mgunnamissyou..." fell out of her mouth in a jumbled mess. "Good prefect," she said as she patted his head like the good doggie that Zander Adair was. A moment later, she released the older lion and continued on down the line. As if she always did this sort of thing, and it was totally normal. Which, in reality, it was... for her. When he was attacked by behind, he didn't even have to ask to figure out who it was. There was only one person in Gryffindor House who'd do this sort of thing. "AJ," he laughed in greeting. Though uh, his bones were being crushed at the moment, yes. "Keep in touch, yeah?" It was a weird, saying goodbye to people. Not knowing if it was goodbye for the moment or forever? Some he couldn't be more relieved to leave behind, but others... Man, he'd really miss AJ. For all her crazy antics and never-ending insane ideas... She was one of a kind. And a really good friend. He tried to say all that with a simple look, not knowing how to voice the sentiment without being a complete cheeseball about it. He didn't want to have to tell people he'd miss them. But he wanted her to know. Things wouldn't be the same without her presence lighting up the room. "Hogwarts is yours next year," and the year after. She was going to rule the place, he knew it. SPOILER!!: TEAM ALMOST GOT A FLAMSTEED HUG?? Quote:

Airey could only hope that, given time, the young man would realize how much of it he had done for himself. How open minded the Gryffindor had been to all the Astronomy professor's recommendations and exercises.
"Congratulations," he voice knowingly boomed, arms stretched out to either side proudly despite himself and managed to actually catch himself before it became too obvious what some small glitch in his subconscious had caused. This, his arms went up and behind his head. Yup. Totally casual. "I'm very proud of you, Mr. Adair."
And now he had ONE more thing to give him. Perhaps something that would hold even more value in the hands of the Head Boy. Offering the young man the second letter he had removed from his enchanted breast pocket, Airey chuckled and waited for Mr. Adair to take it.
"This should read familiar to you. Familiar...but foreign," he chuckled.
As Zander was already up and out of his seat, it took milliseconds to respond to Professor Flamsteed's open arm gesture by replicating it himself and going in for a-- Uh. Putting his arms behind his head as well. That's all that happened here. Just two men with arms behind their heads. That would've been real embarrassing. Zander almost hugged a Professor. He almost hugged a Professor Flamsteed who never almost hugged anyone?
Um.
Right. "Thank you, Professor," his eyes filled with fulfillment, was it? That's all he wanted. Honestly, ever after the incident from Fifth Year. He wanted to make Flamsteed proud again and.... Now that it happened, he felt on top of the world. Zander Adair was going places. Officially. And yes, this letter would most likely be framed. Ahem. As proof. He gave his astronomy Professor a look of utmost gratitude, not knowing how else to speak without being redundant. "Oh Merlin," he said reaching out to take the letter from the man's hand. "I almost forgot about this..." He scratched his head. Ahem. He'd wait to read it later, incase it was utterly embarrassing. SPOILER!!: DAKEST pls Quote:

Still, despite all his teasing, the nod said two things quite clearly: 'Congratulations' and 'Good luck'. The amicable nod brought on a sweet sense of relief. Was this a truce? Could they have a truce now? Zander was really sorry about those things he said in the man's office earlier. Ahem. They were meant to be COMPLIMENTS not insults, okay? He just wasn't good at thinking sentences out properly. Ahem. Sorry. Lessons from Brown were needed. Ahem.
Zander smiled warmly at the man, one that would hopefully say something like 'Thanks' and 'You're a good Professor' or something like that. Though uh, maybe his silent conversations were just as unclear as his voiced ones.
.....
And just as he turned around he heard a bit of what Sophie was on about and-- W H A T?
WHAT?!?!
APPRENTICE????
THIS WAS AMAZING THIS WAS GREAT THIS WAS HER DREAM THIS WAS-- Maybe the wrong time to do what he had been planning all along. He slipped a hand into his robe pocket, again checking that the object was still there--it was--but with Sophie's plans coming together... And his plans coming together... Would their plans change?
He tried not to think about it, however, letting go of the object in his pocket and putting a large smile on his face. He was happy. They had got what they wanted. Everyone had gotten what they wanted. Things were going to be okay after all.
He'd let her have her moment with Flamsteed, though. He'd grab her on the train if not after she was done telling Flamsteed. Everything was gonna be great. And at least Kevin would be relieved to hear that plans changed? Yeah. It was fine. He was happy. Truly happy.
