Desiree's wave got a finger waggle back from the Gryffindor, before she busied herself with pulling out her books and a quill in preparation for the class to start. She noticed Keigh's entrance too and smiled as the girl took her seat - glad to see no one else had snatched it either.

As each student entered, she nosily watched where they chose to sit - amused by the fact everyone seemed to be of similar mind in preferring to sit alone over with someone else. Just in case. Squid boy was the first one to break the trend, which was a surprise to her merely because Daniel seemed like the type who preferred to sit alone regardless of atmosphere or class, but she didn't have too long to contemplate it though because the familiar blonde caught her attention as he entered - though she tried to not look his direction. Busying herself with suddenly a very important doodle so as to not see where he'd chose to sit, when all of a sudden he was in the spot next to her.

Um. What?

It would have been nice to say she had no reaction to that, but considering everything recently, the minute he did she could feel her face heat again. A really unfortunate thing that just seemed to happen now around him, which was another factor in why she had been trying to avoid him more than usual. Couldn't do that now though?

Hoping she didn't look as tomato as her face felt, she figured the best way to act now was to attempt to be normal. "I think you and your stomach will remember your best friend happens to have a giant stash you can mooch from before you can follow through on a riot." She replied, attempting to give a usual smile though her face felt weird as she did so. Was that how she normally smiled?? Is that what it felt like? Why hadn't she ever paid attention to that before??

Professor Sayse in for the save though, as class began and Vera could relax the slightest bit when she revealed they were focusing on all types of relationships - friendship included. That took some pressure off but honestly .. still just also highlighted some thoughts she'd been having a hard time discerning, now that object was right to her left. Awesome.

Anyways.

Charms that could be helpful in expressing love and friendship? This required a lot of spell knowledge that she could not currently locate in her brain. Charlie's response got a soft laugh from her under her breath. Had he already done that for his girlfriend or merely in the works? It was a good creative response regardless. Considering more, she went ahead and raised her hand. "Any healing charm, like reparifors, could work. Having knowledge on how to take care of someone you care about and being able to act on it is a good way of showing they matter to you."
