 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Heath noticed the tight smile Professor Kitridge gave Claudine, but it was only when he heard her words that he realized she overheard what she said. He felt terrible; here he was causing her trouble again, just like in DADA! Well, not exactly like DADA… fortunately, Professor Kitridge didn’t take points or give her a detention. If she had, he would’ve had to explain that the only reason she said that was to reassure him and beg her to take points from him instead. Not here, obviously - he didn’t want to draw attention to her - but after class. He shot Claudine an apologetic look. It’s no wonder you’re going to end up alone, he inwardly berated himself, if you keep causing her trouble like this!
He blinked confusedly at the professor’s next question. As a matter of fact, he had thought about that - just look at his tie! Where was that question going? He had no idea and didn’t want to be put on the spot for his answer, so he gave no indication that he had. Oh, so that’s where it was going… HIs heart sank as the professor answered the question he’d been too afraid to ask. So there was no way to undo that awful prediction. Of course, he should’ve known…
He managed a small smile at Claudine’s question. At least that prediction wasn’t coming true today! “Of course,” he replied, gathering up his things. As he followed her out the door, he paused a moment to say goodbye to the professor. “Bye, Professor. Thank you for the lesson.”
