SPOILER!!: Zeke

Funny though, just looking at Janelle, he wouldn't have been able to say that she was a victim to bullying. She was strong, or at least, she didn't come across as weak. She was obviously smart, and nice and genuine... all good things. "That's good... it's good that something good came of something bad." Perhaps the simplest way of looking at it. People that got bullied usually turned out in one of two ways. They would either hurt others to prevent themselves from getting hurt... or they'd turn out like Janelle, with a good head on their shoulder. This was a win for her.

Once he was done with his short stint of 'playing' Flamsteed, Zeke couldn't help but chuckle. "Thank you, thank you," he said as he gave a small bow in her direction. And gosh. STELLAR! Of course he was. And then it was her turn.

"Go for it," he prompted, leaning against the wall so he could watch.

...

And Merlin.

The second she opened her mouth she knew who it was. The Snaps thing really wasn't necessary because, "Professor Cassie!" He knew. He knew. And he really wanted snap cup things gone from his mind now please. PLEASE?! "That was good, perhaps even too good." She could stop now. Really.

Still leaning against the wall, he pulled out the flash-card and glanced at the next question, already number two was gone from the list.

Admit a worry, or fear.

...

Did he have to?

Zeke wrinkled his nose at this one, but he supposed it could be worse, he could have been partnered with a Troll... at least Janelle was nice, even if he didn't really know her.

"I think... I'm most worried about failure," he started, coming to terms with it as he went. "I never had to succeed before, because there wasn't any hope of getting things right. But now I have to do well, it's a lot of pressure, you know?" And a part of that also came from his dislike of rejection. Failure often led to rejection in one form or another, but he didn't need to voice that. But it also led into the next question, and so he found himself continuing along the line of thought. "If I do alright, and get good grades, I still don't know what I would do with them. Maybe something with potions, or charms. Really though, I have no idea where I want to be in ten years, I'm just trying to get through today."

Clueless. He was clueless. Getting through day by day was the best he could do for now, and eventually he'd figure things out... right?

"How about you? Worries? Fears? Where do you see yourself in ten?"

Janelle returned Zeke's smile when he said that he had siblings. For some reason, she was extremely glad for that. "I have an older sister and brother and I love them to death. Not exactly crazy about being the baby though." And that led into the next question, but not yet. "My sister went to Beauxbatons for a few years, but she ended up here at Hogwarts." Since she was older, she may have been gone before Zeke's sisters got there.

Janelle could barely contain her laughter, as Zeke guessed which professor she was imitating. She liked Professor Cassie, but she was one perky lady. "You got me. How did you ever guess?" That question was asked with a wink.

They were rolling along and Zeke jumped right into the next question..........the next two questions actually. Janelle's head popped up when Zeke revealed his greatest worry. She wasn't really excited about question number three, but when he began to speak, she nodded her head. "We have something in common then. The usual things don't bother me. I'm not afraid of spiders or the dark or anything like that. I'm afraid of failing too. I don't want to let anyone down, especially my family. I have a very overachieving sister. She's smart, always got fantastic grades. She was a Prefect here too, you know. I just want to do as well as she has done and she's a hard act to follow. Don't get me wrong. It's not a comptitive thing and she's very supportive of me. It's just that.........well, I get what you mean about pressure. Mostly it's pressure I put on myself." Whew. That was more than Zeke probably cared to know, but that was her answer so what could she do?

Zeke slid right into the next question. She could understand where he was coming from, not being sure about what he wanted to do in the future. "You know what? I think it's OK not to know right now. We're young. There's still time to figure out what you want." Lots of people took time to figure out what they wanted to do. There was nothing wrong with that.

Janelle had an idea of what she wanted to be doing in ten years."For me, in ten years, I want to have graduated from a university. I love animals so I would really like to be working with them in some way. I think studying Magizoology would be the best way to reach that goal. If I'm not doing that, I think I might like to be an Auror." Janelle knew that those were two completely different careers and neither one was easy, but both of them interested her. She figured if she kept her grades up, she could have a chance at either one.

They only had one more question to go. Would this one be the hardest of all?
