Dastan couldn't help the pleased smile that covered his face. "Thanks," he said, though he wasn't sure how good it was that he was so competitive. At least he knew someone at Hogwarts wouldn't hate him for it. Hopefully once he got to talk to that cute girl on the smart table she wouldn't mind either.
He shrugged when Andy pointed out the flaw in his logic, surprised when he realized he didn't mind. Normally anyone correcting him would upset him, but he felt oddly calm here, like he didn't need to worry about the impression he was giving her. That was strange. Still, it was kind of relaxing in a way as well. "I guess you are right," he said, "Though if I was chosen as Champion, I probably would have found some way to get her here, at least for the Yule Ball. That is, if she existed." He chuckled when he realized he was creating a hypothetical situation for nothing. Still, what's done was done. Besides, Andy started the hypothetical part, didn't she? Then she asked if there was anyone he was interested in here. Dastan hesitated. It wasn't really his personality to confide these types of things in others, but he wanted to tell her. Why? As nice as it was to feel like he found someone he could probably label as a friend, it was strange. Why did he want to tell her things. "Well there is this girl ..." he started when he realized his hesitation was long enough that it was obvious there was someone he was interested in. "I do not know her name, or even anything about her. But ... she sits on the table where lots of the students eat food while they read from books?" The smart table. Still, it didn't seem particularly polite to come say it outright like that so he tried to be a little more discreet. "That is not much to go off of," he admitted with another shrug of his shoulders.

She was a little surprised too, that he was being so nice about her pointing out his logical mistake. He spoke about how she was right, but that if he was champion he would have tried to her this imaginary girlfriend here for the ball. She chuckled and nodded, "I wish Phil could be here for the ball, too. Just like your fake girlfriend," she chuckled, looking down at the ground until he went on.
She looked up, realizing that he was about to talk about someone real. Oh, yes, someone she went to school with, because she had asked. She listening carefully, trying to see if she could figure it out. "Is there blue on her uniform?" she asked, turning into a real Sherlock Holmes for a minute here...

Dastan smiled, "At least someone understands my pain," he teased, hoping he hadn't gone too far. But she was laughing while she joked about it so he didn't think so. Then she looked serious as she listened to his extremely vague description of a girl he didn't know. He wondered if she'd be able to get anything out of his description. Probably not, but it was worth a shot, right? He nodded when she asked about the blue, "Yes, I think there is actually," he told her. "And she seems to be happy all the time. Very ... bubbly?" He couldn't remember if that was the right way to describe that type of personality, but he was trying. "Is that any help at all?" Dastan said, a little frustrated he couldn't actually describe the girl. Not that Andy would know her by his description, but he'd never gotten close enough to the girl to really see her features.

Andy smiled, amused at his teasing. It was nice to laugh with someone she didn't know that well, it showed that she had grown in relation to how she treated strangers. Then, he answered that there was blue on the girls robes and that she was happy and bubbly. Andy tilted her head to the side, pursing her lips, trying to think. "I'm afraid I don't know many in Ravenclaw... that's her house," she explained. "But... well, what color is her hair?" she really wanted to help him out, but she was afraid that she wouldn't know.

Dastan was relieved that he hadn't irritated the girl, Andy, with his teasing. He didn't know her very well, so he wasn't sure how far he could tease her without her getting upset. At least he hadn't crossed the line. The interesting thing was, she seemed to want to help him figure out who his mystery girl was and Dastan wasn't sure how to take that. He wasn't used to people wanting to help him with things like this. Granted, he couldn't remember a time when he'd asked someone to help him figure out who someone else was so this was completely new territory for him. He nodded when Andy said she was in Ravenclaw. "Ravenclaw," he muttered to himself, mostly to make sure that he remembered the name. That way he wouldn't have to ask someone else again. "It's pretty straight and long and very dark brown," he answered immediately. "And she always seems to be happy and cheerful," he added, not sure if that would be any help. Still, it might. And if he could figure out who the girl was, that would be great.

Straight, long brown hair... hmm.. happy and cheerful. Andy chewed on the inside of her cheek while considering and, after a few moments of silence, sighed. "It could be Elena," she said, remembering a girl in the year below her, "or Gwen," she guessed. "I think Elena has a boyfriend though..." she muttered, now really hoping that it wasn't her. She didn't want to be the bearer of bad news with this guy. "But you'd probably notice him, I'd think," she added, perking up a little at the prospect.
@dastan (I made Elena up hhhaa)

Andy started saying a few names and Dastan listened intently, repeating the names in his mind. Elena, Elena, Elena. Then another one. Gwen, Gwen, Gwen. Well this was just great! How was he supposed to know which one it was?! Not that he would go up to her acting like he already knew her name. She would probably see that as very creepy. Better not. Then Andy said that Elena had a boyfriend and Dastan started shaking his head. He would have noticed if another boy was hanging around her, for sure. Was that weird? Was he turning into some sort of crazy stalker? "I do not think this girl has a boyfriend," he told her, hoping that didn't sound like he was watching her too closely. Oh, to heck with it. He wanted to know what Andy knew. "I have seen her talk to lots of boys, but not one specific one," he added, hoping that would help somehow. "Still, thank you for your help." She probably didn't want to continue this line of conversation. Dastan wasn't sure that he did. It was awkward.

Andy nodded, her sleuthing face still in place. "Let's say it's Gwen then... for now," she deducted. "And you're welcome... why don't you just go talk to her? If it's Gwen she wouldn't mind," the girl seemed incredibly friendly and welcoming, maybe a little hyper for Andy's taste but if Dastan was into that then great. "I think you should, I mean. It won't get anywhere if you don't," she added.

It was kind of funny, how focused she was on Dastan's question, but in a way it was really cool of her to be so interested. He didn't know if she was like this normally, but it was nice to have someone interested in helping him. That wasn't a common thing. He shrugged at her question. "I might, but she is always surrounded by people and I do not want to get in the way," Dastan was embarrassed by how she he felt about this. It was strange and totally unlike him to be nervous about talking to a girl, but Andy wouldn't know that. He lifted a hand and ran it through his hair distractedly. "I know, I just don't know how to talk to people sometimes," he told her. "Especially cheerful, happy, friendly people like her."

Andy understood not wanting to get in the way. "Hmmm," she contemplated for a moment. Then he said how he didn't know how to talk to people, especially people like her, and Andy actually let out a little laugh. "We have a lot in common. But listen," she found herself reaching a hand out to rest it on his arm, "people like us need them. We need them," she repeated, nodding firmly. Phil was her guiding light, and he was the same as Gwen. Cheerful, happy, friendly. Everyone just adored him. She was luckier than anyone on this earth. "You'll work it out," she encouraged, taking her hand away. "I should get going... let me know how it goes? Who knows, maybe I'll see you both at the ball," she grinned before turning and heading back to the village.

He nodded when Andy said that they needed people like Gwen. People that were outgoing and cheerful and nice. It made sense, really. If left to his own devices, he would get lost and be quite boring, but if he had someone like her to be with it would probably change him for the better. "Thanks," he said as she started moving. She probably had other things she needed to do. He smiled, "Of course. I bet you're dying to know if it's Gwen or not. I'll let you know." She started walking away and Dastan sighed, turning to face the Shrieking Shack once more. ---end--- @lestrange
