Theodore stumbled a little when he went to pull the front doors to the castle open, the handle giving way beneath his hand as someone pushed at the door from the other side. Taking a few steps back, he gave Lavender a dubious look as she all but flounced into the entrance hall.

"Hi!"

"Hey," he said dryly, indifferent. Lavender looked tired. He guessed that she was just coming back from one of those moronic cheer squad meetings. What a stupid idea. Noone paid any attention to the cheer squad, unless it was particularly windy and the girls' skirts had trouble staying down.

"You're... obnoxiously cheerful today," he said finally, folding his arms. "I'd ask what the occasion was, but I guess this is the usual for you."

Lavender looked surprised and her smile faltered, but it somehow remained. She noticed that Theodore's tone wasn't particularly nice, but she took his statement as a compliment anyway.

Dismissing the things that she'd heard about him along with the other Slytherins that he tended to hang out with, namely Bridgette Dorny, she nodded cheerfully. "Well, of course! Life is too short to be mopey all the time!" she declared.

"You think so?" Theodore challenged, raising a single eyebrow. He didn't really mean anything by it, but he was too busy wondering how a single person could be so bubbly on such a regular basis to say much more. He gave her a small, half-smile.

"You might be right on that one. I belong to a house full of mopey teenagers, though. Slytherins are mopey. Or broody. We don't have a whole lot of smiling types. Smiling is discouraged."

Lavender nodded enthusiastically, oblivious to his tone once again. Conversation always woke her up a little, even if she was slightly wiped. Her grin widened when Theodore half-smiled. "There's a start!" she said brightly, clapping her hands.

She nodded once again. "I know! My best friend dated Draco Malfoy for a while, trust me, I know! But one person can change things, if they work hard enough - you can start. If the other Slytherins see you smiling, maybe they'll think it's okay for them to smile too!"
