SPOILER!!: Heath! <3

Jumping jawas, this was harder than he thought! He should've gone to the library to check out a cookbook first! Were there any cookbooks here? He looked, but he didn't see any. Of course not… why would the house elves need cookbooks?

So that was a no to the warm beverage then? "No such luck," Heath said, laughing. "But my sister could probably do it… if magic still worked and there wasn't an Anti-Disapparition Jinx on the school." What an awkward conversation that would be! 'Hey, Ariel! Can you apparate to Espresso Patronum and buy my friend a…' What was that drink called? He'd already forgotten! "Okay, tell me if you should change your mind." But he doubted she would. Claudine didn't strike him as the mind changing type!

Heath was about to turn on the stove when Claudine asked that question. “WHAT?!” he blurted out before he could stop himself, gaping at her in shock. His mind raced. How in the galaxy was he supposed to answer that? For a moment, he thought to play it off as a force of habit, something he did without realizing it until she pointed it out, but he knew that wouldn't work. Claudine was too smart to fall for that, and he couldn't bring himself to lie to her.

His eyes darted nervously about the kitchen. He could trust Claudine and the house elves not to blab what they were about to hear, but someone else could barge in at any moment! "Okay, I'll tell you." He sighed, leaving the stove to stand near Claudine. This was not a conversation he wanted to have while shouting across the kitchen to each other!

"It's so people don't guess what I'm feeling," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "No matter how stoic I act, my eyes give me away - or so everyone's always told me. No one can use my emotions against me if they don't know what they are." His expression darkened, and there was a slight bitter edge to his voice as he said the last sentence. His thoughts turned to the many bullies from muggle school who had done exactly that, but he left that part out for now. Claudine already had a cold; she didn't need to deal with his past trauma on top of that!

It was much comfortable watching Heathen work with her head resting on her hands. Claudine still felt guilty about letting him cook for her though. She wasn’t really used to letting anyone do stuff for her unless she really required help or unless you happened to be a Hogwarts House Elf. As she watched her friend work, she couldn't help but wonder if he had done this before; he seemed to be a pro at this. As conversation turned to their situation at Hogwarts, Claudine was surprised to find the Ravenclaw laughing. She wasn’t usually funny, you know. The girl started to bob her head then remembered that he was preoccupied and probably wouldn’t see her. “It sucks about the magic. I miss having it to help me everyday.’’ It was the first time she had admitted this out aloud.

Maybe a very big mistake had been made on her part by asking that question. Claudine hadn’t thought it would have been that big of a deal but as she watched Heathen’s reaction, it was quite obvious she had been wrong. She had made him uncomfortable and she regretted it. The girl had only opened her mouth to tell him not to worry, that she didn’t need an answer when he apparently made up his mind that he’d tell her the reason.

Claudine closed her mouth and stared at Heathen’s forehead as he came near. He was speaking so quietly, she had to lean towards him a bit to catch what was being said. Oh. She was silent for a moment after the words, processing them. “That explains a lot. I’m not sure if I would have noticed it until recently because of the memory issues. And... I'm very sorry you've had your emotions used against you.’’ Indeed she was sorry to hear about that. A thought occurred to her. “Have you figured out that I don’t look at anyone in their eyes?’’ came her question in a surprised tone. “Is that why you pull your hair back when you speak to me?’’ It had been in a Transfiguration lesson this year that she had first noticed his eyes and the memory had stuck with her. But it was true, Claudine usually stared at everyone’s foreheads, noses, lips, just past their ears to the distance behind them… anywhere but their eyes.
