Thank Sir Terry Pratchett for most of it, then. I've commited some terrible plagarism just now. ^^;;

The moment she pointed out the utensils, Gau's eyes widened, and he glanced back.
The moment the thread of epic classical music (The William Tell Overture, at this time) in his head broke, the utensils dropped.

"Aah!" Gau scrambled to catch them, picking up the rest in a mad scramble.
He finally drew himself back up with what he hoped was dignity with his armful of utensils (which would have to be washed...)

"Miss Lluvia." He began. he stopped, blinked, went red.

Uwah...

Did she make that hat herself? Maybe she wasn't unskilled after all... Humility was good. An appealing trait...and as a Hufflepuff she should have a work ethic...

"I'm...Meguro Gau. Meguro's my surname." He blinked a little owlishly.

Especially when it comes from humorous cookbooks, oh yes. ^^;;

Dazing over the service of others made them two of a kind, though Gau had no way of knowing that

^^ 'Tis fine. I've been sporadic myself due to losing my gay mercenary's voice and hunting it. >_>;;

"Huh? Oh. Uhm...if you like." Gau blinked a little, taken aback with too many thoughts crowding his brain. He seemed to remember the things in his hands, and caught himself, setting them aside, and dragging furniture out of the way with rather a bit more struggling than was normal for a person. Then again, Lluvia didn't seem the type to notice, or comment on it, and she was very cheerful

Uh. Well. There's a limit to how much canon review one can do for a guy who gets six pages total ^^U

Those minor char marks thankfully weren't noticed. Not that Gau hadn't been doing some spectacular things to the curtains, pillows, and blankets in his own lonely dorm room (The fourth years underneath had to be getting used to some pretty alarming noises and G-rated exclamations at odd hours of the night and the crack of dawn by now...) but the idea of repairing rips and tears in the upholstery by hand wouldn't have struck him as at all odd, even if it had to be done by hand. This wouldn't be something he'd be likely to live down if people caught sight of him with his half-moon upholstry needles, and thread, repairing the furniture with his typical look of scowling anal retentive determination.

Still, he paid attention to Lluvia, and watched the water in her hands with an expression of genuine astonishment. "The...rain followed you? That's..." Wait. Was that even possible? Well weather magic was probably possible, right? And that had to be pretty powerful
