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.
Genius idea, really, but Mo wasn't willing to risk his life on a homework assignment. That was how he spent his free time. "How long do you suppose it holds, anyway? Like, could you use it to climb up or down a wall, or would it give out too fast? That's a good question to know the answer to as well."
Mo unpacked his crate too, although he wanted a chance at Alice's lamp. He'd leave a note on her and it would make her crazy to figure out how he'd managed it. "I brought the biggest books I have, although I'm nervous about jerking them around. And I brought the helmet from one of the suits of armor up on the seventh floor. And I brought you a chocolate frog. Here." He handed that over before looking in his box again. "I brought the comforter from my bed, 'cause it's heavy but also unwieldy. I wasn't sure what grabbing fabric would be like. So that's it."
He kicked the helmet toward the opposite wall. Might as well start there. "Ladies go first."
