No.

But that would mean giving lots of reasons and Jake wasn't exactly very clear in his speech at the moment. But still... there were some subjects he wanted to get stuck into. "I llllike Ccccare of Mmmagical Cuhh-creatures," he said in a kind of contemplative way, as he looked off into space for a moment. Then, of course, since he knew about Lawson teaching... "Muhh-muggle Sssstudies ought ttttter be a lllaugh."

Bwaha. Oh yes it would.

And OF COURSE his other best subject. "Ffffflying. Those thuhh-three I'm llllookin' ffforward tuh-ter."

At the birthday wishes Jake blushed, yes, BLUSHED, and smiled, muttering his thanks through a smile he tried to hide. "Erm... sssso..." Oh jeez, he needed new conversation... thingers... "Ggggot any puhh-pets?"

That was, of course, a very important question.



When Reese looked up and down the table, Jake took the opportunity to scan the Great Hall for a certain Gryffindor 7th year JERK that he wanted to keep AWAYYYYY from for now. Still... he needed words with that boy. Awayyyyy from authority. Little did Jake know, Jack was actually Head Boy.

Anyway, yes. Present. All good. Jake beamed at Reese when he had her attention again and hugged her tight around the middle. That was kind of a good thing about not living with his old family anymore. He and his sister had less of the falling out stuff. "Th-thank you," he said softly, deciding not to ask how things were right now.

"Vvvery fffair," he commented, and pulled back from the hug staring up at Reese. "S'yyyour lllast year," Jake stated, his face void of emotion. It was... kind of very sad, and Jake bit down hard on his lip to stop the lip wibble.

Ahhh well. He'd get a laugh when Reese eventually found out the boy had just placed Charlie, his tarantula, on her back.
