He could feel his own cheeks warming up when she asked about cloud nine. Had she never heard of it? Maybe being an only child afforded him knowledge of old-school idioms that could also have been romanticized but he wasn't going to talk about that aspect "Oh it's um ... you've never heard about being on cloud nine? It's this saying of being elated or feeling happy. Like when i win a quidditch match, that feeling is equated on being on cloud nine." Or when he was around her. But he didn't add that.

He plopped down beside her. "Is that what we're calling it now? Because I say we throw the notes to the wind and just go in blind-sided." He grinned, but knew that Maya would never go for it. "C'mon, you know the information. Theoretically speaking. You should practice it instead."
If she knew what was going on in Apollo's mind, she would probably tell them that she would very much be a zombie in a few months. But hopefully, despite her zombie state, he would still enjoy her company and find her to be an attractive enough zombie to ask out to the dance.

"Well, if I were a cloud, I think that I would definitely enjoy being around cloud nine... it almost sounds like it would be an exclusive club, doesn't it?" Maya had definitely heard of it before but it had always seemed like it would be a place. If they were clouds. Merlin, she must really be losing it if she was talking about being a cloud. "So, winning a quidditch match makes you feel like you're on cloud nine? Maybe if you fly high enough, you'd be able to reach it too," she giggled.

Which made her wonder... what was her cloud nine? As she was about to ponder it, Apollo said one of the craziest things she had ever heard.

"Throw notes to the wind?!" Maya's jaw dropped. "G-go... in... blindsided?!" Though she knew he was only saying this to get a ruse out of her, she was appalled nonetheless. However, the Slytherin felt at ease around him. Comfortable. Relaxed. Things she hadn't been since the term had started. "Sir, I will not be sharing my study guide with you if you keep talking crazy." Maya moved some more of her papers and books over, finding her wand rolling in the mess. "I've been practicing some spells too. I'm rather good at making things disappear," she said, reaching for said wand. "I've been practicing my Patronus charm as well..." Though she would have to admit, that was one that she was struggling a bit with as of late.
