 Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁
Were kids these days so unbelievably spoiled that they couldn’t just simply sit cross-legged on the floor in the absence of chairs? That had been what he’d told them to do, no? Sit down? Two perfectly simple words that most two year olds could understand. What in Merlin’s name was this sliding nonsense? Noble had thought it quite obvious that in the expanse of wooden floor in the middle of the room, they should simply just find a space to sit in. “Just find a space on the floor, and sit still in it before I take points,” he said brusquely, watching them repeat the action one after the other like sheep. Patrick, Analiese, Daisy, Nina, Tina…
Grumble.
And then there was Dorian, Gunnar and Drew, standing at the tables at if they knew something he didn't. “Butt. Floor. Now.” He was starting to feel like the topic of today’s lesson was going to be a terrible idea if they couldn’t follow one simple instruction.
Yes, he knew it was different. Yes, he knew they had been through a lot of changes recently. They weren’t the only ones. More than half of Noble’s stuff was still stuck downstairs, beyond the mist. He was doing his best to continue as normal...and this lesson was one he taught at this time every year, usually in the Great Hall.
It was almost a relief when Lucas easily plopped himself down on the floor. “Good morning, Lucas,” Noble said with a nod. Thankfully others had been listening too, and once Noble had put down the cauldron he’d been stirring, he saw that Jade, Eiji, Archer and Eniola had also joined.
With a purposeful stride, Noble went to the door, and after checking for stragglers, closed it. It was time to start, and he now raised his voice. “What different ways are there of fastening or attaching things to something else? …can you give me some of their pros and cons?”
