He noticed the blush, but wasn't sure the reason for it. She had done the coolest thing last term, and taking out Poppy so quickly had probably saved the play so everyone could go out and do what they had all done best. Even after all of the fake panic, the actors had pulled it together beautifully and given a spectacular performance. Evan had been right proud of Lisa, and he appreciated this girl's actions to have made it all possible, as most had.

Evan considered asking if she would have done the same had it been someone else and not Lisa, but there was no point in asking that hypothetical so he just nodded in response to her words. "Well I know she really appreciated it, whether it's what you were supposed to do or not doesn't change how cool it was you did."

Hearing her introduction, he did manage to remember his manners and offer a hand to shake hers in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Serena. Lisa has mentioned you too." He just hadn't put two and two together. "How did you enjoy your first term at Hogwarts?" It was fairly docile compared to others.

He moved along a little bit more with her and found a suitable spot to set up shop. He hadn't really considered yet either what his design would be, but he had some time to figure it out. Maybe he'd do something Peter Pan? Or a cat in memory of the summer he finally was going to get one? Or Pascal or.... something. "Any ideas what you'll do on yours?"
