Oh, it was that older snake boy. What was his name again? "Caleb, right?" That had to be it. He wasn't someone she had really spoken to, but he seemed nice enough. The third year returned his smile. "You're not wimpy are you?" Boys could be wimps, and she didn't have time for that. Her tone wasn't sarcastic or rude. She asked the question as if she was merely curious. She seriously doubted it though. Wimpy snakes... was that even a thing?

Deciding he would be manly enough to help her with the activity she moved the conversation along. "You wanna be the pod puller or the vine wrestler first?" It all sounded like fun to AJ and as long as she got a turn to try both it didn't matter who went first.

"Yeah, and you're...um...sorry, I know you're a twin and everything and I don't want to call you the wrong name," Caleb told her sheepishly. Hehe. Oops. He could barely keep track of his own snakes, how was he supposed to know all the names of the kids in the other houses?

"No way," he told her confidently with a grin. Whimpy. Please. He wasn't a HUFFLEPUFF. "I can, um...do the vine wrestling first?" he suggested. He wanted to get all that prickly business out of the way first. Plus, he kind of wanted to see how hard it was to pull one of those pods out. If SHE could do it, he could totally do it right?

Slipping on his protective gear, he walked over to their Snargaluff, which didn't seem to be moving all that much. Maybe this would be easier than he thought...but of course, as soon as he reached out to grab a vine, it tried to smack him with another one. Thankfully he dodged it - thanks Quidditch skills!

Grabbing the one vine that had tried to attack him and taking a few more in his other hand, he pulled them back and tied them into a secure knot. At least, he HOPED it was secure...

"Alright, go!" he called. Before the vines accidentally snap and give him a face full of thorns...

Caleb felt that was a bit contradictory, but whatever. He knew all about Venomous Tentacula and absolutely nothing about Snargaluff pods, so this was perfect studying for OWLs! Except he needed a partner. UGH. Why were they ALWAYS partnering up? He spotted a young Gryffindor girl - one of those twins, or triplets, who could keep up really? - and figured she was as good a partner as any. "I'll partner with you," he told her with a smile. Yes, partner up so he could get this done with as quickly as possible... Just as AJ was starting to think she was going to have to force someone to partner up with her, she had a taker.
