"Wow..." he blurted out. Chase Spenley was shocked by Beth's confession. She actually ENJOYED spending time with HIM? Chase was rather touched. He dropped the whole teasing act for a moment and then paused. Something felt very weird. He felt very weird. This was all very weird. If he had let his heart make the decision he would have smiled faintly and perhaps maybe have even admitted that the two of them were friends. However, a very quiet voice in his heard advised him to always be skeptical especially since GG had a secret plan. She was, after all, Kowalski's protogé-- which the very thought sent shivers running down his spine. He shivered. Er... Now how to respond to her comment about being just as dramatic as her. "I'm not dramatic," he chuckled, shaking his head,and eying the empty plate before him. Yep, the hunger was beginning to set in.
He remained quiet, listening to Beth's facial expression change once more because of his awesome offer to provide awesometastical somewhat beneficial advice to the young She-Snake. But the whole notion of considering the ideas with all of its rainbows and unicorns faded away when Beth mentioned that he would be replacing Kowlaski. Ermm... The boy that Chase had met at a cafe? The one who was trying to get a free meal through the waitstaff. As if he'd even be associated with him.... especially after he threatened him on the train last term and then LUCAS had to intervene. Yeah.. nope... "Oh GG... Don't get too sentimental with me..." he smiled, drawing out the last sentence, as he got distracted by two unfamiliar adults walk past their table. Errmm... New Professors that were late? Probably from Beauxbatons.... he supposed and then turned his attention towards Stella.
Her Dad was a Gryffindor? That was pretty neat. So she was, in sorts, a Gryffindor legacy. Cool! He frowned a little when she said that she had a lot to live up to. "Big shoes to fill, huh?" he repeated. He couldn't imagine what that would have been like. Thank Merlin for either set of his parents not attending Hogwarts. His adopted parents couldn't because they were muggles... but his real birth parents... ? He had no clue. He noted the girl's frown and tried to reassure her. He offered her a smile and paired it with a quiet, "Well I'm sure you'll make your Dad proud whatever you do." Even if she hadn't ended up in Gryffindor, he hoped that her father at least would have been proud of her... But then again, he didn't even know what her parents were like. Maybe being in the same house as your parents WAS a REALLY big DEAL.
SPENLEY LOOK
Beth's voice reminded him of their previous conversation as well as the proposition that she had offered. "About that proposal, Greyvson, can we table that for later..." he began to ask before pressing his lips together as he found the two strangers at the Staff Table. He tried squinting his eyes to see what they were passing to each other... At Stas' question, Chase nodded. "It looks like Mr. Cold Stoney Face is handing something... a piece of parchment... Some note perhaps?" No, not a note- that'd be too awkward. A letter? ... "Perhaps its some sort of letter?" He squinted his eyes. Merlin... He really should have followed his mother's advice and gone to see the eye doctor to re-evaluate his contact lenses prescription. Meanwhile he turned his gaze to the man that assumed a seat in the empty place of the Divination Professor. "So if he's the Divination Professor....... Any bets on who's Mr. Cold Stoney Face? ......Some ministry official? An actor?" Chase was now just throwing out possible suggestions as he brainstormed away.
