He'd thought he'd been healing from his past traumas, and while he'd made steps... it was only now that the Ravenclaw could tell he truly was getting past all the scars and changing into a more light hearted version of himself. Studies were important, books and memorization had been easy. But at the end of the day, where was that truly going to get him if he couldn't tell the people who mattered that they did? Or he couldn't really openly people to get to know him? The important of experiences and social relations was even more impressed upon him given the fact he was a mere months away from the end of his Hogwarts career and what did he currently have to show for it? Perfect OWL scores.

But with no idea on his future and if those would even matter.

So while he knew Jude's words were right and it was just something friends did for each other. The fact of the matter was Jude never had to be Evan's friend and put away with his shenanigans. He just cared and had done so. And it was something Evan had a vast amount of unshared gratitude regard. "Sure, but you still didn't have to. I appreciate you. And everything you've done." He smiled at the Hufflepuff, before going back to his potatoes as Jude had turned away for a moment to busy himself with prepping the rest of the kitchen.

Finishing up his cutting of the growing pile of peeled potatoes, he tossed them into the water pot as instructed. "Done. Then what?" A laugh at the teasing, because it was... 100% spot on. He WAS a nerd, and he was fully aware of it. "You're not wrong. I'm not really living up to that expectation so far this term. It's kind of nice." Was the homework a little more stressful because he waited so long? Yes. But then it wasn't so bad because he reminded himself it didn't have to be perfect. "Perfect scores are only important if you need them for your degree." Which... who knew if he would. "You're the more impressive one. You got good scores AND you still managed to have a life." Best of both worlds.

Ev was scrapping up all of the potato peelings when he felt a few things bounce off the back of his neck. Considering his wand was no longer moving, unless it was raining veggies there could only be one perpetrator in the room. With a bemused expression, Evan turned to face Jude again, lifting the offending carrot in the air. "Was this yours?"

Education and studies were important, yes. That’s why Jude would always be proud of Evan and those perfect OWL scores of his, and whatever academic merits he achieved after. But what he was going to be prouder of was the fact that Evan was making progress on himself. Jude was now thinking about his conversation with Kimmie, he remembered her words about him being himself had helped Evan. He remembered telling her that if it were indeed the case, then he would never know because Evan was not one to talk of sentimental things such as this. How wrong Jude had been, and he made a mental note to write to his newest friend to let her know that she had been right.

It was true. Jude didn’t have to be Evan’s friend when he found out just how affected the Ravenclaw had been because of the trauma. Jude could have walked, his feelings could have been diminished. Clearly none of those things had happened. If anything, his feelings had intensified. Said feelings, of course, would now remain hidden since he was determined not to bother Evan again about them; especially since Evan had been clear on his own feelings {or lack of}. Oh, there was still some hope in Jude but he quickly pushed the thought away because there had been a pang of guilt then. Him thinking like this wasn’t fair to Davet.

Was Evan trying to make him dissolve into a full out cry fest? The Hufflepuff was determined not to do so, at least not right now. He couldn’t help but smile, his heart and soul happy as can be. “Thank you, Ev. It means a whole lot to hear this. And you’re welcome. You know I’ll always have your back.” Even when Evan was away figuring things out, even when he had things figured out. “Great! Turn them on occasion to ensure they get boiled equally. They’ll take about twenty minutes to boil.”

Jude snorted. “It’s nice to not live up to expectations at all times indeed. That sort of pressure… it’s daunting. We’d love you the same even if you got a T. Anyway, there will be plenty of time for studies and you know I’ll be around to help you with that.” It would be the last time they studied together at Hogwarts, after all. “In that case, you’ve got them. Perfect NEWTs or not, you’ll still be able to do your degree if that’s what you want." Jude bat his eyelashes playfully. “Oh, stop it, you!’’ He laughed. “It wasn’t easy. Hmm… I think it’s all about time management and prioritisation.” Which would be something else he would be willing to help Evan do should th indeed arise.

The sixth year pretended to be tending to the onions which were coming along quite nicely. He turned away from the stove to meet Evan’s eyes, pulling a puzzled expression on his face at the question. “Uh… I own no carrots, sorry.” Biting the inside of his cheek, he tried not to laugh. “It probably came from the pack here? But how ever did THAT happen?” Such a mystery!
