One might think that a good impression was key to attaining respect and some measure of decency when it came to outsiders. But Zacharias was not someone that cared about others impressions of him, in fact even the impressions of his family were mostly deemed worthless. If it wasn’t for the abhorrent amount of pressure put on him it was likely that Zacharias would have gained an even nastier demeanor that he already possessed, if that was even possible. Rather than having others judge him based on something trivial as impressions, the proverb of the strong being the just and the weak being the thief was more fitting. As far as Zacharias was concerned it wasn’t who was right, or wrong, that decided things but who had the strength to defend their argument. Of course that strength did not necessarily have to translate into the physical might, or magical superiority, in a field such as this that strength as nothing else other than his skillmanship with a broom.<br/><br/>So while another person, more caring of their appearance might have decided to apologize or even make amends for their behavior when confronted with a superior. Zacharias had no such mind to do so, even if he was in the wrong he’d already decided to stand his ground. Even under her disapproving gaze of him all Zacharias could do was shrug as an answer. Not even committing to a genuine reply. Even if there had been a reply about to make it’s way it was soon cut away by the approach of a certain red-head. While another man might have been a bit more enthused to have his girlfriend around to support him, Zacharias was trying his best to hide the fact that he was actually rather annoyed she had intruded. Still there was nothing that could be done about the fact, she was his fiancé after all, so he supposed he had to put up with such fancies from her. Even if he did find them to be a bit annoying and slightly embarrassing; embarrassing for herself not for him. Zacharias didn’t hold himself back from rolling his eyes when Claire asked if Rosalyn was here to try out.<em>If only that was case.</em>He couldn’t help the thought as it popped into his head, but at least he kept himself from visibly scoffing at the question. Something told him Rosalyn wouldn’t have been very happy if she knew he was making fun of her ‘devotion.’<br/><br/>Zacharias wasn’t particularly pleased about the way Rosalyn referred to him as her boyfriend, but that was something he’d sort out later. His attention was drawn away from the supposed captain of the Gryffindor team and instead focused on Rosalyn. He leaned forward giving a slight kiss to her cheek before murmuring under his breath. "It’s nice that you showed up, even though I said you<em>didn’t</em>need to." Those whispered words against her cheek hinted at the fact his intention was for her not to come, but whether she’d catch that was another matter. After all she hadn’t realized his intentions the first time so it was possible this time would be no different. Gah. This was such an utter pain in his ass, he’d much prefer to just be given the position of keeper and be on his way, still he supposed that try-outs were a bit of a necessity. It wouldn’t take much to prove he had the chops, but if he had to take a guess the Captain would now end up being a problem of sorts. In any other situation Zacharias wasn’t ashamed to admit he’d just charm his way out of it, even if it did mean charming a halfblood. Of course with a certain redhead now around that wasn’t<em>exactly</em>an option. If anything he could only curse his own pitiable luck to be put in such a situation.<br/><br/>Zacharias attention was no solely focused on that uncomfortable captain. After all he’d yet to formally address her in any meaningful way other than shrug to the one question she’d posed to him. Honestly, he wasn’t going to address her either. He could have, but she already had an impression of him so why take the time to try and fix it when it was mostly pointless? "So how exactly do these tryouts work,<em>Cap?</em>"
