He never missed class, but he might as well, seeing as he never paid much attention and always found himself distracted with the silliest of things.

As Ruby asked for confirmation of his muggleborn status, the Gryffindork grinned proudly. "Why, yes! Yes I am!" he announced with great pride. "As a matter of fact, muggle studies is my best subject!" His only good subject, actually.

And then Ruby asked him to polyjuice himself as her.

WHAT?!
Braeden Stonem?! Passing off as… as… the Fiery Redheaded Lioness, the queen and fearful ruler of Gryffindor House?!?!?! The goofy boy could barely believe his ears, and he wasn't sure whether to be honoured or take this opportunity to run away. "Uh--uh--uh--uh--I--I--I… I… Uh…" He stopped stuttering for a moment to think about it, then raised one of his bushy eyebrows at the redheaded girl. "What's in it for me?"
Ruby watched his reaction and was not surprised to find him stuttering again. She frowned at the lion, waiting impatiently. There were a billion other people she could have asked but as none of them were likely to be as willing, at least that's what she had thought. What if Brae refused? Well, she'd just threaten him with something horrible, that should straighten him out.

As she thought this, Brae was finally able to make out a coherent sentence--or rather, a question. And boy, was she surprised by it! "For you?!" She said exasperatedly, as if she had completely forgotten that Brae was probably not going to do this for free. As a matter of fact, she had forgotten--being so clumsy and a bit dim, she didn't think he would ask for something in return. Surely the power of being RUBY BLAIR for a couple hours was good enough for him, eh? Apparently not.
So now the redhead thought carefully, her green eyes narrowed in dislike. The lioness certainly did not like owing anyone anything but as Brae was supposedly her friend...

"Anything you want," She said breathlessly. And by 'anything', she meant a bag of multicolored marshmallows or some ice-cream.
