Skylar laughed. "One ickle or ten. I won't judge. But I was a fifth year when you first started..." Only a year older. And she was fairly sure she had some of the ickle first years look up to her with questions when she was a fourth year. Except Zoryn, who was equally as stubborn and dramatic as she was. And yet, she was strangely going to miss Zoryn Spinnet. "Now that you're familiar with the school, first years are going to look up to you. Ask you where the loo or which professors were the stern versus the nice ones." Okay no one ever asked her the last one, but seriously, unless your name was Flynn, you were expected to give decently accurate answers. Or well, if you did aspire to be a Flynn, you best get you some best friends that those ickles can turn to for confirmation. Ugh. So many memories.
"I can do quidditch advice. Or OWL advice." She did earn twelve of them and though given the circumstances of her seventh year, she wasn't sure she earned quite that many NEWTs, but hopefully she did alright. "However, relationship advice, you might want to try to figure out on your own." Cause she still had absolutely no clue, as someone who'd given her heart twice, and had it broken twice - once by herself. And yes, she was sure being a fourth year, he'd start to develop feelings soon. They were inevitable, unfortunately.
He felt like he didn’t know a thing still. He had found his study alcoves that he liked, but he still found himself getting the moves of the stairs off by a second or two. He felt like he could answer most questions,
“you mean they really expect you to know everything?” Although he did remember a time or two when he asked really odd questions. He had followed Flynn around the whomping willow just to see what he was doing, so he did suppose it was such a thing.
His grin reached ear to ear. He couldn’t believe that he had made such friends this whole time.
“I’m so glad you bumped into me back then. I really will take you up on the advice for Quidditch and OWLs.” There it was, he knew she had been upset by something at the feast when he saw her but he couldn’t put his finger on it. He wasn’t sure if anyone was the best at giving relationship advice. Although he wasn’t sure how to relationship at all. Sure there were people that caught his eye but how did you do it when you lived in the same place as the person. How did you not want to run the other way? This was all a lot for his almost 14 year old brain.
“I’m not sure relationships are in my future just yet.” his brow furrowed with the wheels turning in his head.
