I was clumsy heading down the stairs with a milkshake in hand just as the moving staircase switched around, causing me to spill the milkshake all over my shirtfront as I took a stumble and thus I headed here to clean it up." Really there was no gossip to tell to the gossip rag. And he definitely wasn't going to disclose which professor had given him the shirt. He valued his privacy and hers.
"Oh I see human transfiguration. It's quite handy to know. I've used it from time to time myself. Did you only practice on your eyebrows?" Leo wondered curiously. Those who worked in certain Law Enforcement professions probably used the spell’s associated with human transfiguration often enough to disguise their appearance and blend in to the public.
"A bathroom I suppose is a good a place as any to practice if you want to be able to see your eyebrows clearly but we do have some pocket mirrors you can loan in the library too." Leo pointed out just a teeny tiny bit hurt that they hadn't chosen the library as their homework venue outside their common room. "I'm sure Professor Bellaire will be glad to hear that you two are so devoted to your transfiguration studies." He commented eyes flashing from one boy to the other.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Zander. Professor Flamsteed has spoken highly of you.” Leo added with a nod to the prefect. Quote:

And then, slowly but surely, the Prefect got his words out what he had to say and although he wanted to nod at him when Zander was looking in his direction, he just ignored him for now and continued to look at the Professor as he explained what had happened on the moving staircases. “Those things are evil, why do they even move in the first place? Who’s brilliant had it been even?” yeah, he did not like those stairs and preferred to use short cuts to get to classes.
“Yup, first to fifth years had to change their eyebrows and sixth and seventh years their…ears …right?” he asked Zander.
And then….that sentence… I’m sure Professor Bellaire will be glad to hear…’ that one. It made even Kevin a bit uncomfortable because he knew. He knew what they were doing. That they were going against the rules. OR…he just said that without any other meaning behind it. “Well, I’m not sure about me ‘cause she obviously does not like me” she even didn’t bother helping out when he was literally held hostage by Lex during that party. So yeah. “But I want to change that so don’t go telling her just yet, we or I want to enter her classroom next lesson and show that we worked hard on this spell as a surprise…since I normally don’t do anything” he laughed a bit as he scratched the back of his head. He speaking a little bit of truth now? Ahem. “And we’re not girls so we didn’t know you had pocket mirrors” he said and looked at Zander with a look that said. ‘please tell me you did not know about that’
“But, you have some useful tips we can use? Because we obviously don’t want to set our eyebrows on fire or something” he said. Zander was really hoping for some sort of confirmation from Kevin. Something that meant he was doing alright, being believable. You know, something to help calm his nerves, but Kev gave him absolutely nothing. Zip. Nope. Except, he was probably just doing this because Kittridge was here and it probably wouldn’t do any good if they looked suspicious…. AHEM. What was the librarian saying now? Something about a staff member giving the shirt… And staircases? “Oh, well that’s real nice of them, sir.” Mhm Zander Adair was only super interested in the life of the librarian YUP. Actually not in the slightest, but the key to lying was pretending, RIGHT KEVIN?? Ahem. Cool. He was cool. Collected. Calm. Totally. “Reckon it means they like you a lot ‘cause people always give presents to people they like and I wonder what—“ Ahem. He was rambling wasn’t he? COULDN’T HELP BEING NERVOUS OKAY?
Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. He was going to stop now. Kevin seemed to have it under control with the staircase talk. Maybe if Kevin just did all the talking from now on… That’d be best?
As if Kevin could read Zander’s thoughts, the younger Gryffindor took the initiative to answer and this Fifth Year was extremely thankful. MHM. Wait, huh? “Oh yeah. Uh. Sixth and Seventh… They did ears… Yeah,” totally cool calm and collected. Could he please be given some sort of award for trying? Because this was like the hardest he’d ever tried in his ENTIRE life. And he had to try real hard for Runes, so that was saying something.
O____________O AND THEN THAT SENTENCE. You know the one in which the librarian oh-so-casually mentioned TELLING BELLAIRE?!?????? Zander couldn’t help it, he was getting all nervous again. Worse than before. The man was sent here to spy on them, he was SURE OF IT. “NOOO!!” And just as he uttered the word, the Gryffindor quickly shut his mouth and tried his best to get his eyes to go back to their normal size too. UH. UH UH UH?? OOPS?!?! He quickly looked over to Kevin with apologetic eyes. He panicked okay? Totally panicked.
He needed to keep reminding himself again. Technically they hadn’t done anything wrong yet… they hadn’t even started the transfiguration stuff yet. “I uh, I mean… Yeah what Kevin said… And she’s a real busy woman and… I’m sure she wouldn’t be all impressed since it was homework after all sir… And you know, everyone else is probably doing it too… So really… we don’t have to tell her!” The last bit came out a bit more panicky and rushed than he had hoped… But then again, so did everything he just said. Could they see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead? Hopefully not. Merlin, please no.
Taking his hint to be quiet again, the Gryffindor nodded along with what Kevin had to say about the mirrors, only turning to give Kevin one of those ‘What the heck? Pocket mirrors?’ kind of looks in return. He didn’t know about those either. But in his defense, Zander never really got around to the library all that much before this term… With OWLs and all. And yup. Tips? Any tips, sir?? That would be good. Yup. A subject change kind of.
“Uh, pleasure is all mine, sir,” maybe politeness would make up for shifty behavior? And, “He has??? I mean uh… I… Oh.” Really? Professor Flamsteed said good things? And more importantly, would he still say good things if he found out about this entire interaction? Debatable.
