Zacharias tensed slightly and turned toward the noise, having really not expected to talk to anyone or to have anyone talk to him just then, even if it was just to agree about it being nicer outside than inside just then. Sure, he'd anticipated the smokers, but not, well, not to even be vaguely acknowledged. And he certainly hadn't expected it to come from Harry Potter. They may not have really interacted much since Hogwarts, but that didn't mean Zacharias had forgotten who he was (who in the wizarding world hadn't?) or their interactions. An awkwardness settled inside of him, but he kept it off his face and out of his posture.
"Yeah, it is," he said, taking a sip of his butterbeer. "I saw Rita Skeeter hanging around, so you probably want to be alone," he added, taking a couple of steps toward the door. Really, he should find out if his parents were around. And he should find Ben to see if he were happy with the date they'd won and to arrange when to hang out. "But congratulations on the date," he added. Ernie was a good man and a good person. He was sure the two of them would have fun. Or, well, he hoped, at least for Ernie's sake.
