Probably, but Lex would understand when she saw him making his way into the classroom with his big ol' box.
"Cambridge," Mo let the box fall to the floor as soon as he entered the room, giving the younger Gryffindor a grin. "You missed me. I can tell. What did you bring to practice with? D'you mind if I practice on you later? I really wanted to try the thing where you wrap the rope-thing around something solid and pull yourself, but I couldn't think where to do it."
THERE he was!
Lex hopped off the desk already trying to sneak a peak into his crate of objects. Did she miss him?
"Suuuuure." But not particularly, you know? She'd seen him earlier when she asked him to work with her in the first place, gosh Mo. She kicked at the box by her foot.
"There's a vase from the Common Room--I don't think professor Bentley will want it broken--a lamp from Alice's night stand but you can't tell her we practice with it and this text book right here, weighs a ton. You?"
You know, it's funny but she was about to make that request toooooo. Now he couldn't say no because she was about to agree. Ahem.
"Sure thing. I was gonna ask to practice on you too, you know, to make it more practical."
And how could he think of nothing to attach the rope to and pull himself up. Sigh. He was probably using Ravenclaw logic too much.
"You could head downstairs, cast it up here, I'd stick something solid through the window then you could try." A sketchy idea but when better developed would work perfectly.
