And where exactly would they be able to eat without a bunch of people? Maybe somewhere on the grounds. Obviously not the lake since most people went there and Jun didn't want to near it anyway. More like ever. Well, they'll figure out somewhere to go. They could always just hex people away if they came to close. Jun wouldn't mind doing that at all. "It's a date then," he grinned. Of course, only teasing the girl on it. It was all ever only innocent from him. Besides, if he got a date with Lex, they'd just eat candy the whole time. And sweets. Like right now. But this was so not a date.

Jun nodded. By then, he would have to push some Gryffies apart to sit. That was rude. But he was rude sometimes; but not THAT rude. Still, he'd let her know in advance. Like maybe on the train since she would probably head out before him and do prefect duties. Whatever they were. "Wouldn't want any mad Gryffies, now would we? But I'll let you know," Still, pushing people away would be pretty easy too. "Hmm, maybe it could be both houses. Quick with ideas, yet cunning ones," Sounded about right. Though Jun thought Lex fit perfectly in Gryffindor. He sometimes doubted fitting into Ravenclaw since he didn't really have the smarts and all. But he was witty, or at least that's what the hat said to him when he got sorted. "I wouldn't even fit into Hufflepuff either. Don't really have the traits for it," And that was very true.

Nodding, Jun agreed. "Don't need any firsties being on your back about getting a lift to the tower and they have to climb themselves," Because some of them were just annoying and whiny at times. It made Jun want to push them down the stairs to give them a reason to be. Then they can go be annoying and whiny in the hospital wing with the nurse. Let her deal with them. "Oh, that'll be a fun challenge to figure out. Maybe I'd throw you ahead or use a charm," Because there had to be one that let them jump far. Or carpe retractum to pull them towards the moving ones. That would be interesting to do.

A lesser Ravenclaw might have taken that personally, but Mo just grinned at Zahra and tipped the bunny forward into her lap. He probably earned the eternal scorn of Titus, but... that was a given, considering the amount of times he made the poor creature wear stupid looking clothes.

"His name is Titus. He's..." He was a vampire ninja bunny, but that didn't seem right coming from a sixth year. "He's a little grumpy, but he'll get over it. Who's that you've got there?" He nodded at the purple ball of fluff that seemed to belong to Zahra.

Kissing girls. That was pretty much the beginning of the end, wasn't it? It's where friendships went to die. "Kissing isn't bad. When you're ready for it, y'know? Are you mad at him for kissing someone, or are you mad he didn't kiss you? 'Cause I don't see why what HE does means you have to suffer."

Lex let that statement roll around in her head a bit. It was obviously a joke and she wasn't about to suddenly get uptight about it. Just had to make sure the word didn't irk her or something, which it turned out not to so she was able to grin in response to his grin. "Suuuuure." A date. That would be the day, the year actually. Friendly dates weren't bad though, she didn't mind those, no hurt in them, nope. "If nowhere outside will work, plenty of empty corridors on the inside and secret passages too. I've found a few of those while snooping down in the dungeons." Got attacked by a mutant bug down there too...as the official story but really she just got shot in the head with a hairpin. Not very Gryffindor like so she'd stick with the first story.

Mad Gryffies? She hardly found those but sure. Lex gave a small shrug. "They'll live." But only because they would. It was sharing some sitting space, not sharing their dinner. Perfectly fine. "And I like the way you think. Could be both and they help to keep me alive with all my Gryffindor tendencies." You know, those Gryffindor reflexes that make you run toward loud noises and point with a stupid grin on your face when there's a rabid chimaera headed your way? Those. Good stuff man. She laughed when he admitted to not having a very Hufflepuff personality. "You were right behind me on the floating Firsties through the window idea. Definitely not Hufflepuff material but that's fine, I have tons of Puffer friends already." Like really. Puffers were everywhere, it was hard to not end up friends with some of them.

"That's the basic idea." She confirmed with a nod of her own. They were awful whiny, especially on the first night after all that food when they just wanna collapse but find out they are NOT Puffers and will NOT be staying in a relatively close Common Room. "I can think of at least one kid that might ruin my evening for me depending on his sorting." Don't let him be a Gryffindor, PLEASE. And throwing? Did he suggest throwing? Keep it in Lex. Dangerous ideas were NOT meant to excite her anymore. The girl had to put in some extra work to compose herself before finally clearing her throat. "Charms yeah, I'd be casting seeing as your arms will be busy making sure I don't fall." Don't think about throwing. She couldn't help but wonder how it would work though.

Kissing girls. That was pretty much the beginning of the end, wasn't it? It's where friendships went to die. "Kissing isn't bad. When you're ready for it, y'know? Are you mad at him for kissing someone, or are you mad he didn't kiss you? 'Cause I don't see why what HE does means you have to suffer."

Zahra put MARMALADE - her pygmy puff from her dad - ON Titus. She fully expected him to ride her around. "Marmalade. She's a Pygmy Gryff." NOT AN ACTUAL PUFF. "She eats boogers from what I can tell."

"I KNOW. Gosh. Just.... NO. What do you know? Shut up. Go away. I'll punch you and you can put THAT in your book. Then I'll punch your book. Just shut up." Gosh. Because GOSH. NO THAT WASN'T IT. THAT WASN"T WHAT SHE WANTED. UGH.

Michael had walked around the whole entire Great Hall but he had not been able to find his friend. He had even checked under the tables in case she was hiding under them. But nope, she hadn't been there either.

So he decided to make his way up to Gryffindor Tower to see if she was up there. Fortunately for him though, he found her in the entrance and he just managed to catch the last of her words and he raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like I'm not the only one you're angry with." Michael gave Mo an I'm-sorry-for-my-friend look before returning his gaze back to Zahra. "Are you not even going to come in and join in the festivities?"

"Just candy dates, Lex," Again, just imagine how much the two of them will be able to get from just one visit. Plenty. Even more than that actually. At the mention of empty corridors and secret passages, Jun arched an eyebrow at her. "Is that what you do on your free time? Explore the castle until you stumble upon something?" Because with his free time, Jun was usually sleeping, or studying. But more sleeping especially if he had early classes. And those weren't always so easy to get up for. Like last year's final astronomy class. ..was it even astronomy?

Gryffindor tendencies. Jun was sure there were plenty of those. And Lex sounded like the impulsive type so he didn't doubt it either. Bet she was always heading towards trouble instead of going the other way. That was fine. Jun was usually the one causing trouble back home. Poor whoever got in his way and fell into a small prank he had. Too bad for them. "I haven't really met much Huffies," Now that he thought about it, he actually hadn't met anyone from that house. From other houses, plenty. But not from Hufflepuff. Well, he should change that this year. But required effort and it'll probably have to wait a while.

One specific kid? "And who might that be?" Curiosity hit him. There was one kid for him, but Jun would just push him down the stairs along with any annoying firsties, or other students from that matter. Like really. Kevin made him basically steal candy from Sugarplums this summer and run out. Hopefully the shopkeeper didn't see them even though Kevin was pretty loud and Jun looked suspicious running around with a kid in his arm. "Well, obviously. Wouldn't want you to fall a flight of stairs. Then we couldn't have more crazy ideas until you're all better," But maybe Jun would trick little Lottie into joining him. But then he was sure she'd say so he'd have to drag her.

And now Titus was a pygmy-pony. Cute...? He really hoped Marmalade didn't get any boogers in Titus' fur, since that would be a bear to get out. "Pygmy Gryff. Does she root for Gryffindor when you play Quidditch?"

That would be a sight to see. She sorta looked like a tiny pompom already. Mo glanced up sheepishly at Zahra as she got LIVID in his direction. Cranky pants for real, this one. And threatening his future book. That was NO WAY for Chapter One to behave!

"I'm shutting up. Girls can kiss first, though. Just so you know. Don't always have to wait around for it to happen." Alice AND Cat had kissed him first.

... Mo wasn't sure if that meant he wasn't much of a go-getter or was just REALLY slow at picking up cues.

And there was the blessed Toussaint himself. Thank Merlin. "She's not angry with me. She was just telling me that I'm startlingly good looking. And then we talked a bit about kissing, but really... I have a girlfriend. You don't have to hit me about it." Mo shrugged and redirected the pygmy puff-on-rabbit show toward his opposite foot.

"Is the food even arrived yet?"

Uh oh.

......SINCE WHEN WAS MIKEY STANDING THERE? ????

He hadn't heard anything, right? Not that she'd SAID anything, but if MIKEY wasn't TALKING bout THINGS then neither was ZAHRA. Fair's fair and all. She gave him a cool shrug, like it was PERFECTLY normal to sit OUTSIDE of the Great Hall.

"No. Didn't feel like it." CASUAL YAWNING. "Wanna make something of it, Toussaint?"



Then it just.... it just.... what Mo said about his good looks. About kissing. About... kissing.

Zahra got up, dumping Marmalade and Titus to the floor.

She bent down to Mo's face, grabbed it with both hands, and LAID A BIG SMACKER KISS RIGHT ON HIS LIPS. How was THAT for GOING and GETTING?

Then she looked back at Mikey with the all too familiar DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BIG BOY! DARE YOU! look.

Oh Merlin!

She was still on about the whole kissing thing? Was she telling EVERYONE about it? Michael shoved his hands into his pockets and decided he was not going to say anything about kissing or good looks or anything like that.

"Yeah food's out. Headmistress made her speech about ten minutes ago."

His gaze went back to Zahra and he raised his eyebrows at the attitude. He didn't know whether he preferred that or the silent treatment. At least she was actually talking to him he supposed.

"I wasn't making..."

O________O

His hands were out of his pockets and by his sides as he looked at his BFF. The same BFF that was rapidly becoming a stranger to him. "Oh that's real mature Zahra. What are you going to do? Kiss every guy that comes along?"

Okay, that got her grinning, honestly. Candy dates, kinda like kitty playdates and the like. Adding candy made all the difference in the world and insinuated that there'd be plenty. You could never have too much candy, you know. "I like the sound of those, we should have one too. Buy a stash at Honeydukes and enjoy." No doubt she'd eat until she got sick but that was half the fun when it came to candy...either that or an insane sugar rush...which she'd warn him about...eventually. "Nah, in my free time I try finding things to blow up or I teach myself a new hex, juinx, curse, whatever," there was a scowl as it hit her how much of a no that now was, "I go exploring when I have homework I don't wanna do." It helped in waking her brain up enough to get the essays and junk done.

Her eyes widened a bit, her new cookie stuck at her lips but not getting much further. How was that even possible in a school teaming with them? "Do you leave your Common Room often? Would you say you see a lot of the kitchen? Have you been leaving under the Ravenclaw rock or library?" She tilted her head and gave him a curios stare. "Or do you have something against Puffers?" Lex didn't but she knew people who did. Silly of them really, the Puffers were some of the nicest people here...except Lottie...she was the exception. Her mean was the good kind though that Lex preferred over any brand of Hufflepuff sweetness. In fact, she couldn't imagine the girl acting like a typical Puffer. Just no.

Who? Alexa was inching more towards what but that would have been mean, so she simply answered the question. "This kid, think his name's Kevin or something. He's the most annoying person I've met since my little sister--and she's only 3!" That was meant to say something about the boy and his behaviour, neither of which she could stand. "But I'm hoping they dump him in with the Puffers or something so it's cool." Because no matter what, the boy would NOT be a Gryffindor. Oh yikes, falling down the stairs wouldn't have been nearly as epic--yeah, yeah it would have, but all the time in the Hospital Wing afterwards wouldn't be. "It'll be your fault if that happens so you'd have to come to the Hospital Wing to visit me often enough and help me make more plans while I wait." Juuuust saying.

Well, rude, dumping Titus on the floor like that. Mo reached out to pocket his bunny again, only he was interrupted from rabbit-rescuing when Zahra grabbed his face and planted one on him. Like... full lip on lip action with a third year. The Minister's daughter. Not his girlfriend.

"KETTLEBURN. I was not suggesting that girls should always kiss first." He scrambled to his feet and did a very good job of not scrubbing his lips in front of her. Mentally, though, he was already buying Cat flowers.

All the flowers.

"Obviously neither of you should be kissing anyone until you get yourselves in order. No kissing people without permission. No kissing at all! Just..." He flapped his hands at both Michael and Zahra. "Make up already. Friends are more important than whatever."

"Not ALL of them," Zahra replied as she OH SO CASUALLY examined her ruby red nails. Ruby, her friend, had given it to her along with a speech about nails being painted something another. She shrugged at BOTH boys, chewed off the end of one of her nails, really WHY were their boxers in a wad? Pfff.

"Like I'm not kissing you." Not YOU, Mikey. Because he didn't even TELL HER HE WAS KISSING GIRLS OR THINKING ABOUT IT OR NOTHING.

Though, she couldn't quite help herself. She grinned in spite of herself and EVERYTHING at Mikey. She'd ruffled the Ravenclaw. Listen to it squawk. hahaha!

NOT THAT SHE EXPECTED MIKEY TO GET IT SINCE HE WAS SOOOOOOooooooOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOooo MATURE NOW.

"You asked for it, Mo." So no big deal. It was cool.

"Hey! What are you going off at me for? I didn't kiss anyone without their permission." Okay,okay yes he did. But it was just the first one. Rhodes totally consented to the second one.

Michael almost laughed though at the way Mo was carrying on. It was kinda funny but the humour died in an instant the moment Zahra opened her mouth and he clenched fists by his sides.

"WELL THANK MERLIN FOR THAT!! I DON'T WANT YOU KISSING ME ZAHRA KETTLEBURN. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY GERMS YOU HAVE GOT NOW FROM KISSING THE NOT QUITE ALL OF THE BOYS OF HOGWARTS." But whatever it was her life she could go and kiss whoever she liked. He didn't care.

Lies. All lies.

"I suppose you've kissed those band members you've been hanging out with." Yeah he knew all about that. Found out from the drummer. "Seems you've been leaving me out of things too."

Well that.... well. Zahra was used to Mikey yelling, but not like... that. With those words. She was shocked by it and it showed right on her face, clear as day. Though she SHRUGGED, pretending like it was NO BIG DEAL. SO WHAT. So who cares what Mikey thinks...

...

GULP. Yep. She was going to cry and because SHE CARED A LOT WHAT HE THOUGHT OKAY AND HE KNEW IT AND WHY HADNT HE TOLD HER? WHY HADNT THEY TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE?!?! WHY DID SHE FIND OUT FROM CELA?!

And no, she hadn't kissed ANY member of that band and she hadn't told Mikey about them because... because he would have made fun of her for it.

To cover the tears that were gonna fall, Zahra got her wand out and CHUCKED IT RIGHT AT MIKEY's head. She'd never hex him, not really, so yep. Wand chucking.

Except it wasn't the wand,and she didn't realize it until it was already out of her hand. SHe'd thrown the drumstick that Ascanius had signed and kissed at Mikey. Oops.

Mmk, that was enough. Mo might not be a prefect, and he might not HAVE to break up fights, but when there were musical instruments being chucked around at people's heads... when innocents were getting caught in the kissing crossfire... and when he was pretty sure that Zahra was going to end up saying something she couldn't take back...

Definitely time to intervene.

"There's stuff you can't take back. There's friendships that are worth way more than an argument about who is kissing who, and you can't take it back when you say something like that." Trust him, 'cause this Claw knew what he was talking about. Mo scooped up Zahra and threw her over his shoulder. No more throwing stuff.

"We're going to eat food now. All of us."

He wasn't going to admit it to her. He wasn't going to admit it to anyone, but seeing her kiss Mo had made him not only angry but sad as well. Things were changing so fast between them and he didn't no how to stop it.

And to top it off, he could see that she was beginning to cry and just like that his anger at her faded away. He couldn't stand to see her cry. It made his stomach hurt.

Michael was just taking a step forward to comfort her? He didn't know what he was going to do but he never got the chance because she was throwing things at him.

His hand shot out defensively and the stick bounced off his palm and hit the floor. For a moment he too had thought that she had thrown her wand at him, but as he bent down to pick it up he immediately saw that it was a drumstick. He didn't need her to tell him whose it was, he had seen the guy twirling it in his fingers on the train.

The temptation to snap the thing in two was so strong that Michael had to bite the inside of his lip to stop himself. Instead he picked it up and glared , well tried to glare at Zahra but she was now upside down over Mo's shoulder.

"I'm not hungry." And he didn't want to sit anywhere near her at the moment. He held up the drumstick. Since she was so determined to throw everything back in his face. Literally. Then he would do the same to her.

Zahra wished she were about a thousand times bigger. THEN no one could pick her up and she could probably wrestle Mikey and run faster. And currently,she'd NOT be stuck on some weird-talking Ravenclaws shoulder,going on about friends and junk. WHO KNEW MORE ABOUT FRIENDS THAN HER AND MIKEY? NEITHER OF THEM NEEDED SOME BIG HEADED "THINK THEYRE SOOOOOOoOOO SMART" RAVENCLAW telling them NOTHING. NOTHING.

But she also couldn't look at Mikey after the whole germs thing so maybe she didn't know ANYTHING about friends after all.

Zahra didn't give Mo much choice - she WIGGLED DOWN and just... walked away. She'd just wait outside and chat to The Fat Lady until the Prefects showed up. Zahra didn't say anything more to EITHER of them, offered drumstick ignored. With shoulders hunched, Zahra walked towards the stairs and away.

"Apparently, I have to go apologize to my girlfriend," Mo managed once Zahra had departed. He peeked at Michael before turning back toward the Great Hall. He was hungry, and he was sure people were missing him by now. Or maybe only one people. Still.

"I dunno who you have to apologize to. You should eat first, though, 'cause women will always be crazy, but the feast usually ends by nine."

Did he regret what he had said? Yes! Was he going to take it back? Nope.

She had made it sound as though kissing him would be disgusting and she would rather kiss all these other guys even Mo Branxton.

So he was going to just stay where he was although he did peek in her direction to see that she was heading up to the common room and he wanted to go after her so badly but he remained stubbornly where he was.

She started this.

Michael slipped the drumstick into his pocket before sitting down with his back against the wall. He did not want to go back inside and pretend that he was happy when he was really rather miserable.

He waved a hand in Mo's direction. He wasn't stopping him. He could go and be with his girlfriend. "I'll be fine. I ate on the train."

"Mhm, at one of your empty corridors or secret passages. Just us and our two large stashes," Which was how days should be spent. Forgetting about homework and dreadful essays he wasn't going to use in the future. Jun was pretty sure he wasn't. Then again, he wasn't even sure about what he wanted to do after Hogwarts. But that was some time away. "Blow up things?" Yes, this was grand. Jun laughed and remember the time Lottie called him a pyromaniac. "I usually sleep or set things on fire. My parents keep a fire extinguisher in almost every room at home," Only because Jun almost burned on room down. But it was completely accidental.

Jun rolled his eyes, and ruffled his hair a bit before putting the cap back on again. "I get it, Lex. I need to get out more and meet Huffies because they're all around," Something against Puffers? No, definitely not if he hadn't met any so far. Nor was it the reason for not meeting any. "No. How can I if I haven't formally met enough of them to do so?" That would've been stupid. Then again there some dumb people out there who are like that so Jun wouldn't really be surprised. He avoided those people at all costs. Sadly, he couldn't really do it when visiting his grandmother from his father's side. Talk about a mssive pool of annoying people there.

Kevin.
PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE MINI-ME.

At the sound of Kevin's name, Jun choked on his cookie and coughed. A lot. Patting his chest, he finally managed to contain himself from the fit. "Rude little boy? Likes to give people weird nick-names?" Because Jun had gotten Gignator only because he was obviously way taller than the boy. Then on the train he finally called him by his real name. Which Jun actually preferred. "No, I don't think he'd end up with them, nor us. Maybe he'd go to Slytherin, but keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't end up with your house," Because that's just setting bad luck on everyone in that house. And who knows how many house points they'll lose because of him. Plenty. Jun knew that much. He chuckled at her comment. "I promise to be your number one visitor, yeah?" He would too. Bring her all the sweets he'll take from the kitchen and Honeydukes. And obviously make more plans for bad ideas.

"Definitely. Picture it, the mountain of candy between us. I think I'm getting a sugar rush just thinking about." Which probably wasn't a good thing but she would be fine. Seriously. The worst that could happen would be her scaring the little lions with her over enthusiasm. They'd get over it...or be forcefully resorted to Hufflepuff. It was like Alice said, they didn't need a bunch of pansies running around and ruining their house's image. Sleeping wouldn't do, it wouldn't do at all but she--not the Prefect her but the regular her--approved of the lighting stuff up. She shook her head with a smile on her face. "You're no good for me, you know? I'm meant to be a better behaved person this year but you're gonna make that hard." Because with everything she'd heard about him, he wasn't exactly the innocent type and let's be real, Lex walking away in the middle of something epic? No, she'd watch and if he was the one doing it, she'd want in. No good for her at all.

Op! Look at that. Being subtle worked! Though you could hardly consider what she just did as being sutble...still, it was a win for her. "You should. I can't guarantee you'll love 'em," to each their own, yeah, "but it'll be something to cross off that list of things you've never really done." Lex caught the tone and understood how it might have made no sense to him. "Some people have preconceived notions about the houses. They automatically won't like others." She'd seen it happening enough, it even happened to her because being a Gryffindor was SO awful. Rude people.

Her eyes widened slightly as he desecribed exactly who she'd been going on about. "Yeah, him." The kid that insisted on calling her Oldie. Because she was going to answer to that. Right. Her chances were getting slimer as Jun went on. Not a Ravenclaw...couldn't argue with that, and Lottie was the only rude Hufflepuff she knew of....."Yes. Yeah, perfect. I hope he ends up with the Snakes. If anyone can knock that habit out of him it's them. Who knows, we might be looking at a reformed kid by the end of the year." Or Slytherin losing a zillion points and Gryffindor finally coming something other than last. Either way, she APPROVED.

And that was exactly what she liked hearing. "Brilliant!" So long as she had visitors she'd survive. "Just feel free to forget any homework before you come to visit. None of that helping a friend out by taking her her work when she's hurt thing, got it?" That was a big no, if she was gonna have a broken bone or three she at least needed to be able to have SOME perks, namely, exclusion from assignments.

Jun laughed. "Get one later when you're taking the first years up to the tower. I'm sure it'll be a lovely sight of watching you get hyper in front of them," And sadly Jun would miss it because the first years were usually the ones heading up there before anyone else. But just imagining it in his head helped a bit. Smirking, Jun shrugged his shoulders. "Then it's such a terrible thing we met," Obviously wasn't true. Now he had someone to go buy candy with, have candy dates, cause a bit of havoc, and all those things with. No way he was giving that up just because she happened to be a prefect. Nope. "Besides, have you ever met someone who likes candy just as much as you do?" Doubt it.

He nodded. "Well, whenever we go down to the kitchen, I'll be sure to greet some. Or wherever they like to be," Because he was sure it was probably the kitchen since their common room was like right there. Lucky them. Maybe he should've been a Hufflepuff to get the kitchen next door. Then again, he really didn't have the traits to even be considered in there. "True, but I don't really judge the person until I get to know them," Which wasn't always true. He judged Lottie when he met her, but his judgement turned out to be true. She was a midget with anger issues and rude. But now they somehow got along. It was probably because he taught her how to play the piano over the summer. And he cooked her Korean food. They just had a weird friendship altogether.

Hmm, could the snakes knock sense into him? Probably, since they manage to knock some sense into themselves. So fingers crossed on Kevin being a snake. Jun snorted. "You actually think he'll be a changed kid? I mean, HE MADE ME STEAL CANDY! Then made me pay for his food because he didn't want to. And lastly, he made Bellaire angry and she put clothing pins on his fingers. Honestly, she should've put one on his lips then we'd all be happy," Anyone would actually. Maybe then they'll somehow avoid him and live their lives a little more peacefully again. "Bless the house he ends up in. We all know they'll need luck to deal with him," Thankfully he was a first year too so not many shared classes. But he somehow always found Jun somewhere.

Laughing, he shook his head at her. "Why would I bring you your homework while you're in the hospital? That's just mean. More like I'll gladly do your homework for you," And he would too. Jun did his own homework pretty quickly so doing someone else's wasn't such a big deal for him. But no, he wouldn't even mention homework if Lex was in the hospital wing. Homework discussion was prohibited. "I'll just bring you sweets and food, because friends don't bring other friends homework while in the hospital," And if they did, they were dumb friends.

Lex laughed at his suggestion, actually taking a moment to imagine it. Her hopping up possibly every step from that staircase right there to the towers, talking faster than her brain can process words and a whole bunch of happy. The extra energy was usually a good thing but she could see how it might end up being a bit problematic. "I'm trying to welcome them to the school, not scare them into wishing they could apparate home in a heartbeat." Their first night and there's a crazy girl going on about things they can't understand...and now she was almost tempted to lay off the sugar just in case. She was still rolling her eyes at his next comment when he went and introduced some fine logic. "That's very true. In fact my friends think I eat too much of it...with the exception of Aidan, I doubt he minds at all." But it wasn't the same because he wasn't a candy!addict who'd eat copious amounts with her.

"Funny enough, I run into more lions than I do Puffers when I go to the kitchen." The ultimate source of food was the kitchen, back in her first and second year that was where the Quidditch team hung out and where she went to find her housemates. "And it's good you don't. It's a horrid habit that causes people to miss out." It was like with her, everyone got a fair chance until they proved that they were idiots. It was all over after that.

Oh but wow...wow, just wow. "....How in Merlin's beard did an 11 year old make you steal candy?" She asked, raising a puzzled eyebrow at him..."......Er...you bought him food too?" Stop stop stop. HOW? That was the question etched into her face and definitely the one she wanted to practically scream but she didn't, instead she gave a small nod. "I saw the Bellaire run in, because of him she dumped her bloody grandkid on me and the little boy took pleasure in demanding my chocolate frogs. That was Kevin's fault too?" Uh-huh...kid better find somewhere else to sleep if he did become a lion.

...........bdjkfsgfksgdjfgjsy. Someone pinch her she must have been dreaming. A Ravenclaw volunteering to do her homework?? Seriously?? Doing her homework while she got candy nonetheless. "Alright stop, just stop, you're gonna make me throw myself off those moving staircases if you continue. Why weren't we friends sooner?" She could'a used him a couple terms back, but not just for the homework and candy. He was one of those people who's brains she liked. Perfect friend material right here.

Jun shrugged but smiled. "Then cut off the sweets for the rest of the night until you get them up there," Which would probably be hard. Even Jun couldn't do it if he tried. But maybe then Lex wouldn't scare off any first years. As if they have any other place to go. They're stuck with her until she graduates. Ate too much? Jun knew the feeling. "I know the feeling. But they can't stop you from consuming too much forever, right?" Of course not. They could at most limit her intake, but even then, Jun was sure Lex would only limit it when her friends were around. He would. Then go back to eat as much as he wanted because there were no parents here to tell him to stop.

"Really? Huh, I'm sure every house would be down there all together if they could. I'll go searching for Huffies else where then," You know, whenever these two weren't raiding the kitchen for their own pleasure. Or coming up with more schemes but that was for later. Jun nodded. Why make trouble judging people before getting to know them? He's met some people like that before but thankfully they were muggles in his neighborhood and didn't have to deal with them much anymore. "Easier to make friends without judging them first. Maybe that's why some people are so bitter and whatnot,"

"He was running away from his parents because he was causing a scene. After grabbing all the candy he wanted, we ran out the shop and up the street," Which he was hoping that the shopkeeper didn't remember this. He doubted it since it was really packed in there and he heard some little girl distract Kevin's parents. But no more stealing from candy shops. "If you wanted to get rid of someone, wouldn't you do whatever it took to make them go away?" And for Kevin, that was Jun paying for his food but no. The little boy just had to tick off a teacher and make another scene. "Yeah! He called her old and said something like 'Isn't she too old to be a student? Did she fail her seventh year that many times?' And with Bellaire's sonic ears," he made a gesture of putting his hands by his ears, "She heard him and the two made a scene together," And seriously, he would have to ask her why didn't she just put one on his lips? But then maybe Jun would end up with some too.

Jun shook his head. "No, no. Breaking a bone won't keep you in there long. You need to be charmed or hexed or something. Not too long lasting," he grinned. Because the healer could always mend her bone in like a second. Lex needed to be hexed probably. But Jun wasn't going to be the one to do it. Maybe if she asked him too. But then he'll get detention for hexing a prefect. Too early for that.
