Wasn't difficult either. "Well, that also would be a good idea but I think I can just wait until the holidays; I'd rather just hang out by the water and think." Well that was usually what he did since it was quite peaceful and he usually was off by himself so he could just focus on nothing else but his own thoughts which was always needed after the craziness that constantly went on around this school. "If I tried surfing in the middle of winter around here, I'd end up just sliding along ice and probably fall over loads of times in the process. It really wouldn't be much fun." It wasn't like he was used to the ice entirely either, it was way too hot in Cali for that when the winter came. Plus falling on ice didn't exactly sound like much fun to begin with.

As soon as she corrected him about the whole feelings thing, he couldn't help but replace the empty expression on his face with a slight grin since he knew exactly what she was saying without actually saying the exact words. After the summer, things definitely had changed between them but it was far from being a bad thing; no he just was happy that she was staying in his life.. hopefully for awhile. Quickly thinking about what had happened so far at the school, he realized that her analysis of the term so far was right. "Well you know that's bound to change any moment. Especially with the big celebration for the school." He was definitely curious at what the staff had planned for that since it wasn't everyday that Hogwarts celebrated the 1000th year since it's founding.

When she brought up her OWLs, he couldn't help but smile at her; honestly he was happy to hear that she did so well.. since he definitely had been proud of her since he knew that she could do it even if he ended up helping her study anyway. "Excellent. At least you did better than I did when I told OWLs, but that's not the point." He wasn't about to make a big thing out of exams, even though he was super stressed out over the NEWTs at the end of the term.
Something told Stella that Matt hadn't exactly understood what she'd meant by her comment about the lake. Considering she hadn't necessarily been referring to surfing, even though she still had to see him surf, like he'd promised. There were other things to do at the lake that involved getting wet, like swimming or even just getting one's feet wet. But she got distracted from explaining that as he'd spoken, even as it verified her suspicion. "You can surf over the holidays?," she asked, curious. She was used to the weather either here or in France, which was mostly ice skating and snow. Beauxbatons was warmer, but the idea of going to the beach in winter had never occurred to her. She couldn't help but grin as he spoke about the ice, though. "There's always ice skating. If we're allowed to," she replied. She hadn't really done that in a while, but the idea of Matt sliding around on the ice was amusing. In a cute way.

Plus, his reaction to her correction just made her happy. That he'd understood what she'd meant, even though she knew he was going to. She hoped they'd never forget that day, what had changed. Even if the conversation had quickly moved back to the topic of what had happened here at Hogwarts so far, or what hadn't happened. She nodded at what he'd said, though. "True. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have planned. Like that fandango that was announced." She thought it was going to be like a formal dance, which she was definitely looking forward to after last term and when they'd danced. Of course, it was Hogwarts, so that theory wasn't necessarily going to prove to be the case, but she could always hope.

Her curiosity came back as he'd responded to her OWL scores, even as she blushed a little at the compliment. He'd told her she was going to pass when he'd helped her study for them last term, but it was nicer knowing she actually did. Knowing that those exams were over, even if she had the ones next term still to deal with. That he had to take this term. "I'm sure you didn't do that badly," she said, giving him another little hug. "And you'll do amazing this time around." She knew he was nervous about the NEWTs, after all, but she was going to do the same for him that he'd done for her with her OWLs. "And thank you." She hadn't really said that yet.
