Zacharias simply laughed and shook his head. "I'm just kidding, don't get your knickers in a twist," he joked, though he was pretty serious about Pansy being pretty. Plenty of attractive people were actually jerks. He himself tended to only like jerks that were otherwise fun to spend time with. He thought he fell into that category, though he did have unrealized depths. He'd have to show it to others if he didn't want to spend his 8th year hiding in the Hufflepuff dorm.
Pretty quickly Zacharias found himself sitting on a couch, Anthony on top of him and his breathing was having a hard time catching up quick enough to bring oxygen to his brain. He helped Anthony pull his trousers off, his own hands fumbling to do the same to the other boy. It was definitely more fun doing rather than talking. He didn't want to think about all the work he had in front of him to undo the damage his cowardice had done.
