But the current climate of their conversation was steering them away from such gloating.
"Confidence," he repeated. Sir Nicholas certainly had that despite
Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore's best efforts. "So you are suggesting that I just come right out and say it? Just float right up to her and declare, 'Helena of Ravenclaw, I wish to court thee?'" Confidence, yes, take a leaf out of his book , Sir Nicholas... it worked wonders.
Zeke nodded in agreement because it was the obvious truth, but what he wasn't prepared for was the House Ghost practicing his efforts before him.

Sweet. Mother. of. Merlin.
Had be been consuming a food or beverage at the time, half of it would have ended up in his nose, and the other half across the desk in front of him. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
"You could say it like that," Zeke finally managed a reply after somehow (skilfully even) managing to keep his composure. "Or you could say: Lady Helena I think you're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen, will you to date with me?" Mmhmm, because CLEARLY that was how it was done. It wasn't exactly how he'd do it, if he had to ask a girl out again, but it was the best way he could think to jazz up an old-soul 'courtly' ghostly request. "And make sure you use creature, because women like to think they're different from us and other-worldly and special in a way that we can't truly comprehend." Like a Veela. Exactly like a Veela.
