[In Darcy's defense, a blush is a good look on her.]
You'll be beating them off with a stick once you have time to look up from your parchment again.
[Pretending not to notice he'd caught her unawares with that complimentary curve ball, his agreement comes flippant and easy. Anders, a perpetual motion machine of flattery, is used to throwing the fairer sex for a loop. Sometimes it's because they're bashfully surprised like Darcy. Other times it's because they're wondering where the hell he got his nerve and are thinking up the best way to tear him a new one.]
Hmm...
[With book tucked under his arm, Anders rests his finger against the bottom of his lip as if giving this some serious thought.]
Well, it might be good to get some notoriety while you can by perishing under mysterious circumstances. Imagine the headline: "Girl Gets Top of her Class in O.W.L.s, Found Tragically Deceased." It could go unsolved for ages like the Black Dahlia. She's a famous muggle whose case they were never able to solve. You could get your own beguiling nickname and a book deal!
