Baked delights // Hugo

Evie thought for a moment. It didn't clear everything up, but it was kind of a helpful place to start, she supposed. "Yeah, I guess so. It's just really complicated, too. I mean, if that person is a girl, it just brings with it a whole new set of issues, as I'm sure you understand well," she pointed out. "I guess it just takes courage though, right?" she said with a weak smile.

When he asked what they should do next, she thought for another moment. "Do you like art?" she asked him. "I have my sketchbook with me if you want to see some drawings I've done."

Hugo sat there for a moment, thinking about it. "Well.. What kind of issues?" He really didn't know what she meant. In his head, Love is Love. "Like, peers? Other people's opinions? Or are you talking more along the lines of figuring out if that girl bats your way?" He didn't know how to reply to this, because she didn't know what issues she was implicating.

Art, on the other hand, was something he could understand or not and everything would be okay, "I'd love to see!" he gleamed.

Evie listened to his questions thoughtfully. "Well... basically, all of those," she replied, frowning. They were all tricky things to deal with. What other people would say, and also knowing whether any girl would actually want to be with her seriously or not.

"Oh, really?" she asked with a bright smile, pulling her sketchbook out of her bag. It was filled with drawings of people, highly accurate and realistic drawings of people who almost seemed to have a life of their own. "I always try to bring out the energy and the emotion that the person has when I draw them," she said as she handed it to him for him to flick through it. It was a testament to how much she trusted Hugo that she handed her sketchbook to him.

Hugo laughed a little, "Well, maybe in addition to family troubled, we could help each other through our sexual crap.." There was a small tension in the air about it though, he really wished he could help, but it just seemed like he needed the same help.

He was bright and happy, "I can't draw to save my life, but I love art better than photographs!" He beamed and when handed her sketch book, be felt like he was being handed a holy grail. He joked, raising the book up slowly making an Ah noise as if to make it seem like a relic. He laughed slightly, "I'm excited!" he opened the book slowly, and began looking through the pages. His face lit up with every page. He was truly in for a treat in going through this. "This... This is wonderful!"

Evie laughed a little darkly. "Yeah, I guess we can," she said with a slight smile. It would be good to have someone who understood, at least. That was definitely a plus.

When he said he loved art more than photographs, she smiled at him slightly. "You know, to a lot of people photographs are art too... but I know what you mean," she replied gently, blushing a little as he made a big deal of opening her sketchbook. His face as he looked at the drawings was so excited, and she felt a bit of pride as she watched his reactions. "Thanks... you really think so?" she asked.

He smiled, "Sorry, I should put things more delicately. I'm just, trying to make things less awkward." He smiled at Evie with a bit of teeth. He wondered what was really on her mind. She seemed to want to say more, "Is there anything you want to say?"

His enthusiasm wasn't changed by the conversation they were having, her art was truly amazing. "Yeah! I realize that, but I just think it takes a hell of a lot more talent to draw something from imagery than pressing a button at the right time." He meant no disrespect to photographers, but he really liked drawings. He couldn't draw to save his life, but he was definitely envying her because of her talent. "These are amazing, Evie!"

When he asked if she had anything more to say, she shrugged. "I don't think so. I mean, things are confusing, but that makes sense. So it's okay, it's just been good to talk about them," she replied with a smile.

Evie just smiled as his continued compliments. "Thanks. I'm glad you like them. I always get nervous when I show them to people," she admitted.

Hugo nodded. He was glad he had someone to talk to now. He knew that their conversations would deem random and fun. He also had a feeling that she could be trusted. Like she was someone who was very strong willed and knew how to keep a secret. "Well, good!" he beamed.

"Getting nervous over these?!" he laughed slightly, "You should get a spots in museums!" He loved them. Despite them missing color, they were fantastic. "Is this all you do, or do you enjoy painting and stuff?" again, he didn't really do anything artsy like this, but he loved looking at them.

Evie was also glad that she had someone to confide in about it. And she was also glad that Hugo was happy to confide in her, as she could gain some helpful insight based on how he responded to what he went through, as well.

"Yeah... I guess they're kind of personal, you know? It's like I'm letting someone read my diary, but they're pictures instead." That was as close as she could approximate the feeling to. "Yeah, I paint as well. And sometimes do colour sketches. There should be a few colour ones in there somewhere," she told him. Watercolour was a fun thing to do, it brought her drawings to life more, but just took more time.

He was happy Evie and he were friends. There wasn't any kind of romantic expectation, they both knew where they stood, and she was really nice. He smiled to her before returning to her drawings.

His face lit up as he came across a few colored ones. He looked up to Evie, "I wish I had something like this... You know, a personal hobby I could share with someone... I mean, my closet FULL of clothes..." he chuckled slightly. His eyes returned to her book, he was taking in all of the images. As he looked through the last few pages, he thought of something they could do that he could bare himself, mentally, like she had done. But he was basically an open book, minus the whole being gay thing... "So, uh..." he started. He was going to explain the time issue, "I'm technically grounded.... I know I told you I failed, but I'm supposed to be stuck at home... n'er to leave for the summer." he laughed a little.. "So, that's why I worried about time earlier.. By the way, These are truly amazing!" He was handing back her book with a smile.

Evie laughed a little at his comment. "You have that many clothes? I guess it doesn't hurt to look good," she commented with a smile. He did dress well, she could see that. "But you can totally find a hobby! It doesn't have to be something you can show people, that's not why I draw at all. I do it because it relaxes me and I love it. You should find something that makes you feel the same way!" she said enthusiastically.

When he admitted he was grounded, she giggled a bit. "Well, at least you were still able to come here, right? And if not, we wouldn't have met! So this is great!" she commented with her typical energy as she accepted her sketchbook back with a smile. She appreciated his comments, they meant a lot to her.

He couldn't help but laugh with a wide smile, "Oh yeah, I love clothes!" As for hobbies, clothes could be one of his main hobbies. He did like arithmancy and ancient runes. There was potential there, he knew he could create some minor pranking items with the knowledge he had. "I do enjoy Arithmancy!"

Yeah, able to.. "Well.. I kind of snuck out.." he said, admittedly. It wasn't his favorite confession of the day, but he knew he wasn't there because he could be. He was glad he did, he met this amazing person! "I'm glad we met, this coming school year will be better than I had hoped! Thanks to you!" He was so enthusiastic.

When he said that he enjoyed Arithmancy, Evie winced a bit. She just didn't get Arithmancy, numbers weren't her thing. "The only good thing about Arithmancy is that the professor is kind of fun," she replied, making a face. "The subject itself, I just don't get. I don't have a mind for numbers," she told him with a smile. Evie wasn't that good at studying anyway, certain subjects she had an aptitude for but others she struggled a lot in.

"Oh, you snuck out? Naughty!" she said but it was clear she didn't mean it seriously. "I'm glad you did, though, or we couldn't have had this conversation, and it's been really great," she said honestly. "I hope you don't get in too much trouble when you get back, though!"

Hugo laughed at her thoughts on Arithmancy. "Well, you know mixing Arithmancy with the right objects can cause for some... explosive fun. The right formula and object can make a pretty good prank." Hugo looked at Evie with a small grin. "Of course there are other reasons for Arithmancy... Time Travel.. and what not.." Hugo was honest and brave. "Yeah.. It was time I got away..." he said looking down at his hands. He knew he couldn't send all his summer days inside. He just couldn't be captive in his own home. "I'm glad we got to meet! And we will be seeing each other in classes this coming year!" he said, cheerfully. Little did he know he would be getting hospitalized soon enough.... "But.. I really should be getting home before I don't make it in time... to make it seem like I've been there all day.." he said with a small laugh.

Evie frowned a little, looking confused. "Isn't it just about predicting the future using numbers? I didn't know it could do that other stuff, too." She hadn't really understood the subject, though, so it would make sense if she didn't fully understand it.

When he said he should be getting home, Evie nodded sadly. "Yeah, I guess so. It's sad, but you should. How are you getting back, by Floo Powder?" she asked. "I hope they don't find out you were gone." That would be bad for him if he was already grounded.
