To him, with all of his struggles, for someone to tell him he made magic look so easy it must come naturally was a huge compliment. "It's not that it comes naturally," he shrugged, trying to play off the compliment. "I've simply worked so hard on it that I haven't done much of anything else," he commented, thinking for a moment about everything he'd missed in his single-minded focus on school. His social life hadn't regularly extended far beyond Kylee and a few others who, like him, practically lived in the library.<br/><br/>His introspection stunted what would normally have been a more extensive and enthusiastic response to her question. "Not polyjuice. Transformation spells. Just have to research the right one, make sure it'll be safe," he mumbled as he screwed up his courage to ask Kylee a question that had been on his mind for a while. Taking a deep breath, he looked up from the hands he'd been wringing nervously and looked back to Kylee. "Mind if I ask you a personal question?" he said, pausing only a beat before he softly floated out his question, letting it hang in the air. "Are you seeing anyone this year?"
