Malachi saw the smile that was on Lavender's face at first when she was looking back at her. The fact she was looking at him and just smiling, not saying anything was interesting. She wasn't flirting, teasing, or talking; she was just smiling like she was happy just to be sitting in front of him. For some reason, he really liked that.
When her smile dropped and she seemed curious, he tried to get serious himself. It wasn't hard but still, he wasn't taking all of this seriously. Divination wasn't really all that serious to him, not that he'd ever tell her that aloud. Reaching forward, he selected five cards, not really thinking about questions but still thinking of the blond in front of him. Setting the cards face down in front of him, he looked back at her with a ghost of a smile still on his face.
