Ned smirked at Sloane's comment about him being too reasonable. Really, it was a wonder he hadn't been sorted into Ravenclaw, but it seemed the hat had other plans for the Moony boy. "Is whining ever all that dignified?" He teased with a laugh, restraining himself from nudging his shoe with hers. Even though Sloane was 'one of the boys,' there still were boundaries.

He snickered again. "Well, it's not often that I see you laying about," he commented, eyeing her as if he didn't quite believe that she had only come out to practice her abilities. Even if that were a motivating factor, it still seemed off.

"Would you like to join me?" Maybe it would at least take her mind off of her supposedly failed metamorphmagus practice. She wasn't draining company.
