They don’t really talk much, but it’s a signal to everyone else, apparently, that Clarke, and by extension Lincoln, are no longer off-limits. Not that Lincoln ever was, really–Hufflepuffs are loyal, after all, and his housemates stuck by him–but he insisted on bringing Clarke with him when he went anywhere, and once everyone else realized that, he stopped being asked to parties and study sessions. Third year, the invitations start returning, and it stops being just the two of them against the world. Clarke starts taking Arithmancy and makes friends with a couple Ravenclaws, Raven and Monty, and Lincoln bonds with Monroe and Indra in Care of Magical Creatures. He was already kind of friends with Nathan Miller, one of his fellow Hufflepuffs, but Miller is friends with Bellamy too, so a week before Christmas, Miller sits down next to him and says, “You know Bellamy has a ridiculous crush on your friend, right?”
