Ricardo sighed, arms tightening for a moment around Xander before relaxing. "You don't owe me anything, okay? It wasn't even something I did, it was just a random thing. It wasn't anything I could have actually caused consciously."

"It's still a life debt." Xander insisted, raising his head to meet Ricardo's gaze. "And about the animagus plan, I uh-" He faltered. Since when were their faces so close? "I mean, do you really think you should continue? What if something like today happened again?"

"I have to keep trying. I can't turn back anymore, not after this. I can't let Vincent down like that."

"Ace... It's illegal without registration. You could hurt yourself, get expelled, maybe get yourself killed!" Merlin, he was starting to ramble again. Breathe in, breathe out. "I don't want you to die... Either of you. Not after everything that's happened."

"Xander, it's like you said. What if it does happen again? We have to learn to control it. We can't just leave off now. You saw how deformed that wing was. What if I can get it perfect? What if I can actually become a bird?"

"I- That's a fair point." He admitted with some reluctance. "But it takes years to master, everyone knows that. At least register, please?"

"We can't register until we're seventeen. I'm close, but I don't think Vincent is. And if they do tests, they'll find out about us doing it earlier."

"Right..." He averted his gaze, disappointed to some degree. "Just be careful, alright? I'm sure you've had enough near death experiences for one life time."

He put his hands on the Ravenclaw's shoulders for a moment before pulling away. "I promise I'll be careful. But you promise that you won't worry so much."

"Deal." A grin appeared on his face, authentic and bright, akin to the stupidly youthful expressions he often pulled. "Leo's party is starting soon. I think we have enough time to grab our broom and head to the hospital wing before hightailing it over to the Room of Requirement."

"I have to go talk to Vincent first. I haven't properly thanked him for curing me of my... feathers."

"I'll go with you." He offered, scratching his head and wincing. "Your arm is still broken from the fall and I don't think I was really in the right position to provide medical attention, after all, I'm usually the one who needs it."

"Alright then. Let's just look for Vincent first. He looked kind of angry when he left; I wonder what happened."

He shrugged, having not really noticed. Then again, he rarely does. "Do you think it's because I know about your animagus plans? I swear I won't tell anyone."

"Vincent isn't the type to trust people straight out. Maybe we should just talk it out and he'll see you're perfectly trustworthy."

"I sure hope so. I'd hate to become a wedge that stops you two from staying friends."

Ricardo glanced at the castle for a moment, expression blank. "I doubt something like that would happen. And I'm sure you two will become friends, too."

"The more the merrier," he beamed, throwing a brief, anxious glance across the Quidditch pitch. "He doesn't seem the type to like flying though."

"No, but he usually comes to the games, and--- where'd he go?" Ricardo searched the grounds for any flash of red hair, eyes narrowed.

"He left?" Xander furrowed his brow, tone puzzled. "Do you think he went off to the Room of Requirement? He's going to Leo's party, right?"
