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."
She gave that question a moment's thought. How long did it hold? Honestly, she had no idea which kinda made her idea look even more sketchy. It could fade half way up the wall then the Ravenclaws would be without a captain. You'd probably hear it was her fault too but she wouldn't have been the one who
forced him to try.
"We should take a rain check on that, try after we've gotten an answer." For the sake of safety and all that.
In the mean time, back to the things he'd brought. All very good ideas even the comforter!! Lex relaxed a bit at the fact that he didn't question her possession of Alice's lamp or tell her to return it. Too many stairs. She'd already walked down here.
She watched him kick the helmet but scowled at his choice of words.
"I'm not a lady. It's rather rude of you to call me that." Yup, totally but on to the spell, the most important part.
"Carpe Retractum!" A length of magic rope burst from her wand, springing across the room and latching on to the helmet which flew toward her almost immediately. Almost because there was a bit of tugging required.
Helmet in hand, she grabbed Alice's lamp and put it where the first object once stood.
"Now you."
