Vader shrugged at her point, she seemed to just forget that he was from a muggle family and it really wasn’t that simple to fix a broken window, but then if her father, a wizard, was getting annoyed it, maybe it was the principal of breaking a window rather than something else that had spurred Pho’s father’s frustration. He listened as she talked about what she’d done over the holiday, his cheeks reddening deeply when she mentioned the talk. His own parents hadn’t spoke to him about it at all, and he hoped to never. So, he also opted to not even acknowledge what she had said about it, just nodded in understanding of what she had said. He was also pleased when she agreed to not bring up the past. There was generally enough of it sitting just on the forefront of his mind, that thinking or talking about it, brought it rushing back and Vader didn’t enjoy that at all. Especially since his mind seemed so preoccupied as of late to be constantly making him think, and think in part about all of the things that had once been said to and of him with such hatred and malice.
Vader lifted the red cap and readjusted it on his head when he’d run a hand nervously through the thick blonde curls as if brushing the thoughts from the front of his mind to the back. Vader looked back at her as she offered to be in a few of the pictures, or well, offered her magic up for a few of them, he frowned a little at her choice of words, ”You can also be in the pictures if you want, I’m sure the way the spells emit different colours when cast would really nicely light your face,” Vader could understand not wanting to get in the pictures, he didn’t really like being in pictures himself, he much preferred being behind the camera, it was just easier there. ”You don’t need to, I can just take pictures of the magic,” he added, depending on what she’d rather would depend on how he’d set up the camera, so he was keen to know. The gryffindor listened as she talked about Potions, nodding along lightly. He had still pictures but those were generally from the muggle world. ”I don’t think the potions professor would appreciate me wasting time lining up the ingredients to take a picture of them instead of making a potion with them. Potions is fun though. I forget that’s what your dad does,”
