Plus the fact, Wesley was starting to worry her even more...

Over Wesley's shoulder, and through her own tears, Sarah could just make out the shape of the boy she'd been discussing shoulders with. Frowning at him, she nodded her head at his little comment. She didn't quite know what he had told her, but best just to go with it.

"Well, shaking implies I, like, grabbed her and flailed her about. But since I only jostled, it's more of a cajoling series of faint nudges," Alex explained, not quite understanding that this was neither the time nor the place.

When he got a charming frown from the Head Girl, Alex nodded solemnly with serious eyes, before cupping his hands around his mouth and mouthing widely, 'Told ya!'

Okay, so maybe he was just trying to inject some humour into the situation by this point.

He was... probably getting a look right now.

Yeah.

Time to diffuse... something. Alex grinned stupidly and offered the Prefect a double thumbs up.

Did you get that?

Double. Thumbs. Up.

She knew it wasn't a good suggestion. She wanted Sarah and Lori to do well, not fail. And, the idea of them all being fifty-something-year-olds among tweens and young adults, well, even Wesley had to admit was a little rediculous. Besides, the tests were over, and the fifth year just knew Sarah and Lori had done terrific. They would graduate for sure. And she couldn't stop them.

But the handkerchief wasn't there. In her distress, the Hufflepuff had forgotten to slip one in. Wesley's bottom lip wobbled. She couldn't even remember the last time she'd been without a spair tissue. Not in the last 3 years, at least. Today was just, not a good day.

Instead, she turned to looked at the boy and gave him a sad, but never-the-less friendly, smile. Maybe he had a handkerchief.

"I flunked my NEWTs!" Alex pointed out, maybe a little too brightly. He was trying to integrate himself into the conversation now, because... well... it didn't feel right to just sit there and watch and listen. "I could hang around with ya, Wesley... oh, but... no, actually, my dad will probably get me into work. But you know, it's too late to fail exams and anyway..." Alex had the feeling he was digging himself into an even deeper hole. "The time comes where everyone must leave Hogwarts, but you'll still see everyone. Maybe not everyday but maybe one day it will be like that. You've probably been this upset every last day of term, but you know that you do feel better. You have the whoooooooole summer to go, yet. Then you come back here and it'll be awesome and you can owl people and have friends here. I've been in your situation loads of times. You'll get through, kid."

He tried to give the girl an encouraging smile as he drew his wand. The young man wordlessly conjured up a handkerchief, before passing it to Wesley. It was a fancy one, too, with her name embroidered on the corner in gold stitching. As if to say 'I didn't flunk because I don't know magic'.

Eyeing everyone else, Alex waved his wand a few more times, conjuring up three handkerchiefs. 'Prefect', 'Head Girl', and 'Trixie?'.

He thought that was her name. She could change it later should she need to.

With another wave of his wand, the handkerchiefs flew out to each girl.

There. Now they all had their own snot rag.
