He said that he 'hit on witches' a lot too and her jaw dropped slightly. She'd never heard that play on words before. He sobered up from the joke, saying that it was pretty cool even though he didn't know much about it. "Um, yes the aurors are. Hit Witches and Wizards are more like... a special forces unit, I think," she explained. She actually wasn't entirely sure what the equivalent to Claire's job would be. Maybe like the American S.W.A.T. teams?
He said he wouldn't want the hat they were at the sorting ceremony and she feigned an offended gasp, "how dare you. That's traditional Wizarding Wear," she said, then laughed a little. He suggested a sombrero and she laughed again, shaking her head. "So you're saying we should all just pair up? Not a bad idea. Would she let you do that?"

@addilyn 09.06.2024 The mischievous grin that would have normally danced across his face at Addi’s shock stayed hidden away as he watched her react to his joke. Sometimes it was funnier to play the straight man in the comedy duo known as his brain. Being a jokester non-stop tended to have drawbacks, in his experience, and the Hogwarts students weren’t used to him yet. There was no way of knowing how they would react to certain jokes of his, and he was still learning about what was and was not appropriate to tell them. This one seemed to work exactly how he had expected it too though, and keeping it serious for once had caught the Slytherin girl off guard. Addi went on to explain that hitwizards and witches were like the aurors (and police officers), though were more specialty units. He nodded his head to show that it made sense. “I personally like Canada’s no-maj police force. They’re called the Mounties, and they wear the funniest hats.” He let out a small laugh as he visualized the long brims on the hats that they wore. “But it sounds like your sister has an intense job.” Very stressful and definitely not something he would ever find himself doing.
Steve snorted at her gasp as she faked offense to the hat comment. “She might,” he shrugged. “We already spent nine months squished together, I don’t think a couple of formal dinners would kill her.” It was an interesting question though. He wasn’t sure how Nora would react to being forced to share a hat with him. If it was a sombrero, the oddity of it had the potential of being interesting enough for her. “If not, I’ll be looking for a new partner. I don’t want to waste the space, and who wouldn’t want to be stuck with me for a whole dinner? I’d pay top dollar for that experience.” Probably all of his ex-girlfriends, flings, and flirts that hadn’t made the cut. It looked awful on paper, but he was doing them all a service at the end of the day. Better to break their hearts sooner rather than later. It was a him problem, not a problem with them, anyways.

Steve said he liked Canada's no-maj, muggle police force. 'Mounties'. He said they wore funny hats, which made her raise an eyebrow at him. "What kind of funny hats? I may need to see some photographical documentation of this," she said, chuckling a little. He said it sounded like Claire had an intense job and Addi nodded, "yeah, she does. She killed a major terrorist last year. I think that she's killed others too, but of course she doesn't go around gloating about her kills at work..." Addi trailed off. She always looked up to Claire. She wasn't sure if she herself could do anything like what Claire was doing. "I think arrest is the first choice, of course. But, I guess it's complicated," she added, hoping he didn't think she was encouraging the law to run around killing people. Steve said that Nora might be fine sharing a hat with him, saying that they did spend nine months together. In the womb, obviously. Addilyn chuckled, "well, I'm sure since you guys get along well that she would be willing to share the hat, at least for the sake of your safety," she joked. He added, though, that if Nora was not interested then he would need a new partner, implying that people should WANT to be stuck with him for a whole dinner. That he would pay top dollar. She shook her head, "sounds like you don't need a partner. Just enjoy the wonderful company of yourself yourself," she teased. @steve

@addilyn 09.06.2024 “They’re like…” he motioned around his head to mimic the dimensions of the hat, but he was sure that wouldn’t help her out when it came to imagining them. “Think of a cowboy hat but with a flat brim all the way around. Kind of.” It was a terrible description, and Addi’s request for a picture would probably be the best course of action. “I’ll get in that. Just have to phone a friend back home and have him send one,” he winked at her. Steve thought it was funny because they couldn’t use phones at Hogwarts. Resorting to old-school, in person flirting was more his thing anyways. Doing everything over text, like the no-maj girls seemed to like, was so impersonal and left literally everything up for interpretation. Being able to look them in the eyes and show them what he meant was way easier.
Addi went on to explain that her sister had killed a terrorist the previous year (and maybe more than just the one), and Steve stopped walking. That had escalated from zero to a hundred almost instantly. He hadn’t anticipated Addi to drop a bomb about her sister killing people like that, even if they were bad guys. “Maybe intense isn’t the right word then…” he mused. “Complicated works though. We don’t get that sort back home. Everyone tends to keep to themselves and, you know, not kill each other.” Which was sort of ironic coming from the mouth of a half-blood sucker. His whole existence was based on fueling himself with human blood. Killing people for it was far beyond what modern vampires obviously did but it didn’t alleviate them from the same old beliefs that other witches and wizards had held for centuries.
Steve waved his hands in front of him to try and stop Addi when she said that he made excellent company for himself. “Not at all. I’m a sociable guy. I need someone else there. Plus these sombreros are the huge ones. Can’t really keep it up on my own.”

Addi watched as he tried to describe the hats in question and just shook her head. "Okay... flat rimmed cowboy hat... got it," she grinned. He said he'd get the evidence by phoning a friend back home and she nodded, "perfect," not that he could actually use a phone... but there were always letters. "Too bad we can't just look it up on the internet. Maybe we'll get lucky and a muggle studies teacher would have ordered a useful book about Canada into the library?" she wondered. At the talk of Claire he agreed that complicated was a good word choice and that they didn't do any of that back home. "Well, that must be nice not having terrorists and schools blowing up and all," she said, her tone a tiny bit sharp but she was still trying to be lighthearted. Why did his parents ever think coming out of that safe haven was a good idea? Granted, she might go insane in a safe haven herself. Addi stopped when he waved his hands and raised an eyebrow at him. "Fine, then if you need the help keeping the hat on then I'll help," she promise. She stepped around him and ascended the stairs, wrapping around the corner. "No trouble tonight, other than you, I think."@steve

@addilyn 09.06.2024 “What’s this ‘internet’ you speak of, Addilyn?” Steve feigned ignorance, putting a stupid look of confusion on his face while simultaneously cocking his head to the side. “We’re at a magical school. We don’t need that trivial, no-maj stuff.” He missed his laptop and phone though. Those were the only ways he was able to keep in contact with all of his friends back home. Friends of the female and non-magical sort, but still. At least he had the excuse of being abroad where his service wouldn’t work, and most were probably expecting a call or texts during the holidays. Unfortunately for them, all of the girls he had met at Hogwarts were far more interesting than they were, so maybe they wouldn’t be getting any. He hadn’t decided yet. “I’m not sure Canada is interesting enough magically, even for a class about the non-magical,” Steve admitted. “The only witches and wizards up there are the ones that don’t want to be bothered by anyone.”
He nodded his head solemnly, deciding not to pursue the talk about death and destruction any further. That was too depressing to be coming out of his mouth. Causing trouble and chatting about hats wasn’t though. “It’s a date then, if it ever happens of course,” Steve tried, though was sure Addi was the type to keep the whole charade going without giving him an actual answer. Nora would probably fight her over the spot too, just to get a few laughs out of it all. “You know, I’ve been thinking of legally changing my name to trouble, just so people can say ‘Oh look, Trouble is coming’, what do you think?” he asked, laughing lightly at his own awful, cheesy joke.

He asked her what the internet was and she rolled her eyes. Anyone who didn't know what internet was was clearly not living in this day and age. It bothered her a great deal that wizard-kind was so out of it. It also bothered her that muggles didn't live with them in peace but that was a whole other situation. But anyway, Steve didn't give the impression of someone who actually didn't know what it was. He said they didn't need the muggle stuff and she laughed. "Magical arrogance is overrated," she argued.
He said that Canada wasn't interesting enough magically. Addi shook her head, "who cares?" she argued, "it's a NON magical class. If anything that should make it more important for muggle studies," she argued. Then she waved a hand, but she wasn't necessarily giving in. She was a debater, she liked to be.
He said it was a date, sharing the hat, and she smirked. Then he said that he wanted to change his name to 'Trouble' and she grinned. "I think it's an excellent idea. I'll help it get started," she winked, "I'll call you that from now on. Come on, Trouble, I only have twenty minutes left and you need to get back to your tower."
