Kevin did make progress. He absolutely made progress. Why was that much so hard for everyone else to see?

And then Sophie Brown happened and that shut Zander up for a good bit.

"That's the thing. No one even gave him a chance," the Gryffindor took a deep breath, letting his gaze fall back down to the ground again. Maybe he should've had more of the sweets? He wasn't even sure what he was upset about anymore. A combination of everything maybe? Like when you go through the day and everything just builds up on top of each other and all the sudden you start crying because you ran out of butterbeer. And then everyone thinks you're ridiculous because you're crying over a mug of butterbeer, when really you're just upset about everything else and the butterbeer was just a tipping point. Like that. Except, he wasn't crying over butterbeer and he wasn't even crying, well, yet anyways.

It was everything. Constant nightmares bringing him back into the forrest, watching Gregoire. The expulsion of one of his best friends. Missing his family. Getting the badge taken away. Getting it back without much explanation. Everything.

Feeling his eyes starting to betray him, he quickly reached his hand (the one that Sophie didn't have in her hold) up to them and rubbed a bit. Effectively making the redness even worse, but it did help him in holding back any tears. "I tried to always have his back and he always had mine. And now he's gone. And I don't even know what he's going to do anymore."

On the contrary, Kevin had more chance than anyone else, and this was the problem: he'd only changed the tiniest bit, which wasn't enough.

"But, Zander," he softly said, "he didn't try hard enough. He always thought that he could never be expelled..." But he proved everyone that yes, he could. He placed a hand on Zander's other shoulder. "I bet Sophie got your back, too. And Puck. And Professor Flamsteed, as well as me. You're not alone." Seriously, he wasn't. "His family will hire tutors. Home schooled, as you may call it. Then, he'll go to a university, or get in the Ministry." Fair enough?

No one gave him a chance? Sophie tried not to visibly react to that - but she, in fact, KNEW that Kevin had been given plenty of chances, time and time again, and he'd blown those chances. She didn't have a clue how to respond to the next thing the Gryffindor said, so she just let her gaze fall upon their hands and stroked his with her thumb comfortingly.

Luckily, Culloden was good with words this time, and she smiled at him telling Zander that he had him. That was sweet, wasn't it? The man who loved to poke fun at the kid was letting him know that he was there for him?

It was very, very cute and fatherly and it tugged at Sophie Brown's heartstrings.

"And if Culloden is saying those things, must be true, right? Doesn't Kevin wanna be a potioneer? If the potions master knows Kevin's gonna be okay, then... he will. Kevin must have a lot going for him, enough that his behavior problems won't ruin his life." Heh. "And maybe this'll help him learn from his mistakes and... and be the person we all know he can be." There was a pause, and then, "And I could get you two-way mirrors, if you want." If they didn't already have them. "Then the distance won't be as hard." How about that?
