"If it's of any consolation, your sacrifice hasn't gone unnoticed." Another acknowledgement that she looked nice this evening without outright stating it. "Fashion suits you well." Her comment about his prey gave way to the first genuine laugh from him this evening, "So that...

Though he gave her a slight eyeroll, it was accompanied by a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Some of us are just so naturally blessed that we have to save the formal attire for special occasions to give the other people a fair chance. But thank you for noticing the exquisite tailoring...

It was a lot to process just hearing it, so going through it must be consuming Zeke. No wonder he'd seemed so unlike himself lately. Laguna had been so caught up in Riley and the mirror and everything else that he missed some major signs that his friend needed help. Suddenly he was consumed by guilt...

"Dubois..." Laguna said almost inaudibly, his gaze fixed on Zeke's face to analyze his reaction. "That is...a lot to take in," Laguna finished. He wasn't sure where to start. This type of news was big and he wasn't sure how to feel about it--excited that Zeke had some answers? Co...

There was a moment of silence as Laguna took in Zeke's comments and questions. His expression shifted into a frown as he thought about the scenario. Zeke meeting up with his reflection was not really something he expected. If the reflection was wandering around impersonating him, what sorts of troub...

The mirror reflection showed the handsome sixth year as he titled his head slightly. Laguna scanned over his reflection carefully, accounting for every detail of his outward appearance, inch by inch until he was satisfied. An eyebrow perked a bit as he actually found himself quite pleased with how h...

"Not surprising," He said, knowing that Sophie was always out to find her next project. At least someone was still carrying on with their usual business. The young Gryffindor had started in on his meal, "Have you ever known me to miss out on a chance to eat?" He joked, which was ...

Laguna strolled in a bit later than most other students, following what was likely a conversation that many were interested in eavesdropping on. He, on the other hand, didn't care to check in on whatever the group of Slytherin's and Gryffindor's had been discussing. Judging by Sophie's involvement, ...

Laguna looked at Evelyn with an unreadable expression at her words. Trust. Between a lion and a snake? Was there such thing? Then he caught himself and quickly shook the doubt from his mind, because if that notion rang true and they couldn't ever really trust each other what did that mean for his re...

Laguna got the feeling that he'd missed quite the interaction between Eve and Zeke, though he wasn't sure what Evelyn was talking about in terms of something being wrong with Zeke. "My apologies for keeping you waiting," he said playfully. Suddenly he felt a ping of guilt that he didn't kn...

"It's a bit scary how well you know me after such a short time," he joked, knowing good and well she wasn't wrong. Some might find those qualities to be a little alarming, but it wasn't bad to use what you had to get what you wanted. At least he didn't think it was always bad. "Like I...

There was definitely some echo of the conversation that floated through the corridors though muffled. It would be hard to catch the whole conversation, but no doubt there would be some people that would indeed catch bits and pieces and those bits and pieces would be in the rumor mill before supper t...

Fashionably late. That is what Laguna coined his entrance as being. It wasn't like he was so late he'd missed anything terribly important anyway. This particular class he sort of kicked himself for being late to, at least for a short moment, as he noted it would've been incredibly entertaining to ob...

There was a long moment following the chatter between the shades, leaving poor Zeke pinned against the tree roughly. He'd probably feel it in the morning--if he made it to morning, that is. The odds seemed to be in his favor as the Lestrange shade slowly loosed the grip on Zeke and then all at once ...

Laguna chuckled then offered Andie his most apologetic puppy dog face. "We're sorry. You see first poor Zekey here woke up in a bit of a grumpy mood. And we just couldn't have him like that for our big trip. So Ryan and I had to make sure he was in the right mindset for you---r event." Sud...

Despite the fact that he was the Gryffindor team captain, Laguna and his buddies, or teammates, were not always known for being the first to arrive to a scene. But, given the opportunity that presented itself, Laguna was also not going to be last to this particular event. Quidditch was always his fa...

"Brilliant!" He chimed in as she tried to find the words to describe his little joke. "Thank you," He gave little bows as she admitted that he got her with his little stunt. Sometimes he just couldn't help himself but to seize an opportunity when it arose, and this one was just ...

"You're right." He paused for a moment then continued, "You do indeed have questionable taste," he concurred, though he wasn't complaining about her questionable taste if it meant he got to spend more time with her. He decided it was in both their best interests to stop teasing h...

It only entertained Laguna further as Zeke's face went blank. He snickered from beside Riley, wondering if Zeke might be inclined to strike back, but he just ended it with a grumbling of words which Laguna could not quite make out. "Right, let's carry on then. To Hogsmeade!" Laguna suppres...

Over time, the distaste between Zeke and Miral was something that Laguna was able to overlook. In other words, he just kept on about his day as the two exchange snide remarks and eyerolls. So the fact that Zeke had scoffed at the sight of Miral didn't cause any reaction out of the young Gryffindor. ...

Laguna couldn't help but laugh as Ryan made his comment about Zeke changing his mind about the ball. That made two of the trio that thought he might actually make an appearance after all. Laguna hoped Zeke would show up at least for a little bit even if it wasn't with a date. It wouldn't be near as ...

"Oh-ho-ho! You hoped I would be here, huh?" He beamed at her, setting leaning his elbows on the side of her bed and setting his hands on his cheeks in an attempt to be cute. "Here I thought you'd be ready for a break from me by now." He went back to his original position, sitting...

This would be one of the highlights of the year and Laguna was not going to miss an opportunity like this. So when he entered the room and spotted that Zeke and Sophie were already voluntold, the young Gryffindor found it to be just icing on the cake that these two were on display for the entirety o...

The interaction between Zeke and Sophie made him snicker a bit. He knew that the reaction from Zeke is exactly what she was looking for. "She'll get miffed if /you/ stand her up." Laguna emphasized, knowing good and well that this meeting was something for Andie to get to spend more time w...

"Sorry, did I scare you?" Laguna asked, removing his legs from propping them up on the bed. "I should have given you more time to process where you were, huh?" He offered her the box of candy, which was probably not the best thing to eat after waking from an injury, but it was be...
