She wasn't talking enough, it must've been weirding the boy out! She quickly summed up Brae's weirdness to hunger and focused more on her own, keeping up with him as she tried to figure out what Emma would say in this situation. She, Alfie, would much prefer to remain silent and stare at something as a solution, but that obviously wasn't an option. "Well, I'm glad he's okay, but I can't say I regret beating the 'claws," she spoke up with a rather believable Emma Malfoy smirk, straightening up her shoulders more so she stood more confidently.
"Anyway, I'm pretty hungry too, Brae," she muttered, glancing up at the castle as it got closer and closer. "I feel like I haven't eaten in a while. You know, because sometimes you just get caught up in things, and you don't remember that you need to eat! It happens to me sometimes, I feel like I've been distracted all day," the girl began to ramble, making up for her quiet Alfie-like attitude before with more than necessary talk. "So yeah, I haven't eaten in a while. And then I was practicing in the pitch and I lost track of time." At the end of her speech, the blonde Malfoy flashed the boy at her side a smile, that didn't necessarily scream Emma but definitely didn't point out Alfie. That was what she was going for. She too was beginning to be aware of their hour ticking by, and worried just slightly. It hadn't felt like that much time had gone by, but...who really knew?!
Theodore was glad that Emma seemed to have inherited Braeden's appetite. No, more than glad: ecstatic. If he changed back into himself before they were back, Theo was royally screwed for life. Or at least, for the rest of his remaining days at Hogwarts. "We can split a treacle tart or two," He grinned, not even sure if that was Braeden's favorite dessert or not. Theo should have known these things, but alas, fear and anxiety made all sense escape him. "But yeah, I need to go find Theo, too. Need to talk to him about helping me out for those... those exams, you know." Through all of the madness, Theo had forgotten that out of all subjects, Braeden was particularly good at muggle studies because of his heritage. However, the poor polyjuiced kid didn't even realize this as he continued to tramp up to the castle, his best mate's girl awkwardly clutching his sweaty hand.
Off to eat and change back, they were!
