"That's fine, sir. Makes sense and all," he replied, nodnodnod. He checked his watch, the one he'd got as a seventeenth birthday present from Ella, just out of habit. "I can meet you in the Potions lab later then yeah?" Pretty exciting stuff, wasn't it? Well... to Toby at least.

Cosgrach smiled at the boy, and nodded back.

"Yep. I'll notify you when it's ready." For now, they were done.

She didn't reach for any of the potions because she wanted Culloden to pick whichever ones he thought would be best and do what he needed to do, but she scrutinized each and every label before turning to look at both of them.

They needed the sofa. Could they bring the sofa in the office? She thought about asking, 'cause Zander probably needed to sprawl out and get comfortable. They could counsel him better that way and it'd be like a cute little therapy session.

"I also offer myself up as comic relief. If that'll help." Whatever that meant to them, she'd do it. Anything to make Zander smile.

Well, if that hadn't already been apparent with the fact that he wasn't doing any talking whatsoever. Just a lifeless life-form in the shape of Zander Adair. That's what he was at the moment. It was easier this way though, the shutting off. Meant he didn't have to think about things because things were the last he wanted to think about.

He wouldn't have even brought himself into the office had it not been for the gentle tug from one Sophie Brown, but she managed to pull him inside to where he made the decision to sit on the nearest armchair. Not that he really had much of a say in this whole decision making thing, actually. He didn't even look over at Sophie all curiously as she searched the potions shelf. He just sort of found a nice, interesting looking place on the ground. Actually, no it wasn't interesting at all, but he was still going to stare at it.

He only lifted his head to shake it at Sophie's offer. No, he didn't feel like laughing right now. And back to the ground his eyes went. What was he doing here? And could a potion really fix what he was feeling inside, right now?

This was wrong.

This was terribly, very wrong, and Cosgrach didn't even KNOW what to do. He didn't even think Zander would laugh again, which was absurd, actually. Kevin wasn't dead! He was just... expelled. The man bet they would see each other in Hogsmeade and stuff. He had Sophie to have his back now. What was the deal?

...

The deal was, Zander'd lost a friend. Cosgrach knew the feeling - that nothing would be the 'same'. Kevin was exluded from Hogwarts, and Zander had lost his best friend, period. The man sighed. "The cheer up potion is in the sweets," he said, and offered the bowl to Zander. If he didn't eat by his own consent, Cosgrach was ready to force it down.

"We can talk about him if you want. Or we can tell funny stories. Or... hug or something. To show ya you aren't alone and have other friends." What did he want?
