As Paulie suggested that he sounded like a Roman general, he looked up with honest amusement on his expression, letting out another laugh and a grin to match. "Well thanks, but I don't think that's where my parents were going with it," he admitted, still trying to go faster on the roundabout that was being ridiculously slow in his eyes. "I think it's some kind of old family name, actually. He might've been a general, though." He let out another laugh before looking up to suddenly find Paulie in front of him.

And not only was he right in front of him, but he was suddenly starting to whirl the roundabout around! THIS HEAD BOY WAS A MIND READER!

"If I had a weak stomach, I'D BE A WEAK GENERAL!" Cornelius replied jokingly, though it came out more like a yell because he was quickly gaining speed on the roundabout, releasing the little handles and instead spreading out across the thing so he looked more like he was surfing on it than anything else. GENERAL CORNELIUS!

"WHERE DOES PAULIE COME FROM?" he called over the wind being generated from all of this playground surfing.

Cornelius. It really was a cool name. Paulie gave a nod and shrugged when Cornelius said that it was more of a family name than a general's name. "I guess that sounds right. It kinda does sound like a family name.. like, an older name." Because really.. how many people were named Cornelius anymore?

He laughed and shoved the railings faster and faster and faster and faaaassssttteeerrrrrr. He liked the General's thinkin'! Weak stomach = weak general. "CANTERBURY 'TILL I WAS FIVE!" Paulied yelled over the rushing wind. The Gryffindor took two fast strides and grabbed onto one of the railings. As he was whipped around like a ragdoll, like added, "THEN HEMBURY 'TILL... NOW!" 'Cause now, at this moment, Hogwarts was home.

His lips separated in a smile as his eyes stared out at the blur of indistinct trees and grounds and castle and... colors. With his eyes getting pretty dry from the dazed staring, he finally snapped out of it and scrunched his eyelids together. Yeah, he was gonna be DIZZY.

He took a breath of air and hopped off the spinning roundabout, which, of course, caused him to tumble onto the ground, as expected. Leaning back on his palms, Paulie lobbed his head back as the world still rushed around in front of his eyes. "And where are YOU from, General?"
