Zach suppressed a smile when he saw Kylie blush a little bit. He shook his head slightly, clearing his head of the thought he'd just been having about her being cute... "Oh. Yeah. I guess that's true," he said with a chuckle. "I didn't think of that." Duh, he'd meet her brother. "The floo network..." He tapped his chin absentmindedly, trying to think of what the surprise could possibly be. "They are good secret-keepers, I assume. Those hints are soooo vague." He grinned. Yet another thing he'd learned about her family. It was good to be prepared before you met your friend's family, right? It was totally normal for him to be nervous and want to make a good impression on them... Right? Not that he had, you know, ulterior motives or anything. He was toooootally just going to be friends with Kylie... RIGHT?
Kylie saw Zach shake his head a bit and took nothing from it. A jump in her stomach made her quickly wonder what it was for, but she silenced it as soon as she could. She could still feel the heat in her face and was trying to cool that off. She almost wanted to go run and scream for an ice-bucket. But she figured that might be counter productive. Maybe...
And then he talked again, "They are. Incredibly. It's even harder when I don't live with them. They're all so good at lying. Except my dad. He's just... well, not." Kylie thought of her dad idly. He had been so.. understanding when his mother-in-law was tearing through the house screaming about witches. He'd, understandably, wanted to keep his daughter in muggle school. Although that was of no use to her now... But hey! Kylie had an elementary school education!
