Though he appreciated how much his friends seemed to care.


Help from elves or not, he was still thoroughly impressed. "You soaked up a lot more information and skills from that lesson than anyone else I've seen." Had he seen anyone else attempt? No, but he stood by the statement regardless. It had taken a minute for him to decide on something to wish, which probably looked silly as he stood there for so long with his eyes closed. But eventually he'd come up with something and blown out the candle. The question made him laugh, though he'd probably reddened a little based on the fact... it was not far from the truth. But he hadn't wished it so much for himself. Evan was actually feeling very confident about his exams already. Plenty had seemed worried he'd overdo it, but honestly studying was fun to him. He liked absorbing information. "Superstitution saving me from admitting how single minded I am." He smiled, accepting the knife carefully and eying it while he tried to figure out the best spot to cut first to not mess up too much of the decor. Finding the best looking option, he cut a couple pieces for himself and Jude, nudging the first plate towards the Hufflepuff while he put the other on the plate. "It smells as good as it looks!" Forever a sweet tooth.

He went to reach for a fork, but was distracted when Jude pushed a box towards him. He tilted his head and eyed it before reaching for that instead. "You didn't need to do that. You already did so much prepping the cake." There was no way that had not been a lot of work to do.
