And as Benny moved with Adi back towards their seats with their supplies, the Gryffindor wasn't sure he wanted to delve into it. Besides...Adi said he knew the spell...so what did it really matter? Mulling the thought over, the sixth year wasn't paying attention to his friend. Nor the other boy's attention to the pranking gobstones.
"I was distrac---" he finally decided to answer, breaking off as he involuntarily reacted to the spray from the gobstone. Coming straight at him. His nose was suddenly itchy but not from the cobwebs for once and as he reached a hand up to rub it, he noticed the hair there. A mustache actually that sprouted from his upper lip beneath his nose...across the top of the lip...and actually hung off either side like some oriental dragon's facial fur.
It took him a moment, as Adi complimented his new look amidst his sniggering, to register the corresponding itchness on his chin. Benny moved both his hands there to feel what he couldn't see and found a beard. A long beard that fell away from his skin. There had to be four inches of dirty blonde hair there at least!
"At least we know they work...." was all he could think of saying. His nose twitching as he tried to adjust to the new facial hair. Never a dull moment with Adi.
Adi hadn't the foggiest idea what Benny had been about to say nor did he really think to much on it because his friend's new do was just too much. He couldn't stop sniggering and just kept side glancing at the other boy.
"You look very mature.'' Not that Benny wasn't. He was the mature one in this friendship. Just look at what he had to put up with from Adi... all the pranks and jokes. All the little children stuff.
"How do they feel?" the Hufflepuff asked as he tapped their card board with his wand so that evenly spaced squares appeared on it. These squares were almost golden. Coooool! Adi hadn't focused much on the colour but he figured gold would be good since it would be easier to distinguish the squares from the Dragons and Hippogriffs colours.
There were a few more taps before Adi gave Benny his full attention again. This attention turned into more sniggers.
"You look funny.'' Hehehe. Just look at the beard, yo! "Maybe you can draw a few dragons with beards,'' he teased.
