"Don't worry, I'll be your big shining knight," Zacharias said, giving Sally-Anne a faint smirk. Walking into parties alone was always somewhat daunting, especially if you happened upon it when it wasn't in full swing and didn't have much to talk about. Thankfully for them all of the Hufflepuffs got along, so there wouldn't be any significant lapses of silence.
Sally-Anne's comment about the size of the house made him snort. "You're telling me, huh? It's like Hogwarts itself managed to sneak away and breed a new castle. I feel like I could get lost just staring at it." He frowned.
A twinge of envy stirred inside of him. He tried to squash it as he turned to his housemate. "We'll spruce up your flat here soon, though. You still plan on visiting, right? The store, I mean."
