"Mmm." Al Looked up and grinned. He tossed the bag into the the currently empty room, but opted to take his work with him. "Hey, I need you opinion. I need to double up one of my private lessons with one of my first years, but I don't have a clue which of the older students and which class should go together. You're good at that personality stuff, right?"

Matt nodded "who are the choices?" he said looking at the roster.

Al handed it to him. "Two of the seekers confirmed being able to change times, I'm still asking around to see if anyone else is willing. I might be able to convince Maria...." Al grimace as he mentioned her.

Matt blinked "what was that for? Maria is a nice girl right?"

"Oh, sure. But she's a huge fan and I always feel like if I slip and show too much humanity around her she'll be disappointed. It's like... everything I do has to have a sterling motive when I'm around her." Al frowned thoughtfully, remembering the night before in the Library. "And she's always just a bit nosy. She'd make a damn fine prefect if she was a year older... point is, she's a bit frightening."

"When I started offering the private tutoring I didn't think I'd be made head of Gryffindor. I need to clear up time for that. And I don't know who would work best with the classes, but I definitely need to have the older students work with me during those times too."

Al nodded. "Yeah, he does. I'll ask him if he's interested." Al looked up from the papers. "Right~ time for breakfast! And you better eat something, even if you ARE trying to loose what little fat you have. Breakfast get you're metabolism going and all."

Al blushed and grumbled. Mattie's tendency not to eat worried him, he'd freely admit. Seeing angles and planes on cheeks that used to be smooth and glowing worried him in general. "Jus' making sure you're healthy about it. I've done some stupid diet moves before that resulted in my almost fainting during practices. Not cool, not cool at all."

Matt sighs "Al I don't just not eat, I just know I am fat." he mutters.

Al stepped in front of him and looked him up and down. "You're slimmer than me. Not just in musculature, either. My face is rounder than yours, when we used to be damn near identical. You wouldn't call me fat, would you? 'Cause that's kinda what you're doing" Al pouted.

Matt blushes "N-no its... He told me... S-so..." he looks up. "I-i was too chubby, I gained..." he seems flustered.

Al grew genuinely sad at that. Okay, so he knew the bastard Mattie was talking about had abused him for a year and a half, that abuse victims who couldn't get out of relationships often developed a psychological dependence on their abusers, that the abuser in this case was also a wizard, and that he had destroyed Mattie's body-image. Now to try and tactfully get Mattie to stop depriving himself of food.
"Look, he might have been your world for a while, but no one's infallible and he hasn't seen you since he died." Okay, 'tact' went out the window. "He's distorted your body image, Mattie. You aren't skin and bones yet, but you're skinnier than I've ever seen you."

Matt blushed and turned away not saying anything. He knew deep down he was telling the truth.

Al sighed. "I could have said that better. Come on. I need breakfast."

Matt smiles "Yeah, I do too." he says and smiles, trying to show Al it was forgiven. "Lets go."

Al smiled back and nodded, relieved to hear those words.
((Want to leave it there for now?))
