"I'm not famous yet," he pointed out as he turned to lean his back against the railing of the bridge. There was still a difference between being popular among peers and being a well-known Quidditch player, but he did admittedly enjoy the attention that he got, even if it did make him feel selfish at times. He gave her a hesitant grin as she framed him with her fingers and he thought fleetingly about what it might be like to be photographed all the time. Would he really like all the attention then? He wasn't completely sure.

From his position leant against the railing, he gave her a glance hearing her hesitation before looking out at the colored leaves again. Just... checking. He already knew he was an expert at complicating things without even intending to, and he wasn't really meaning to do it again. He shrugged a little and gave her a reassuring smile. "One of many isn't that big of a deal, is it? Not if it made up for the one that didn't count." Gotten dishonestly, isn't that what she had said? Something like that. He was happy to help her out. "So, did you get your Ravenclaw?"

"Trust me... fame isn't all its cracked up to be. I mean, people making stuff up about you when you aren't being interesting enough. No privacy. It gets old fast, don't you think? So yeah, you get all these pretty girls drooling over you in the bleachers, but then you leave the stadium and there are people in your face." Not that she didn't want him to have whatever he wanted, but she wasn't sure he knew what he was getting into. He was too nice. The paps would eat him alive.

And... yeah. Henry. Enough said. She could take a hint. "Yeah, no big deal, I guess. But I didn't find a Ravenclaw. I guess I got bored of the game. It was bad science, anyway. Terrible sample size for a population." She kicked at the railing before shoving off. "I'm freezing. Are you freezing?"
