There was always the idea of copying what others were saying, though. She’d noted that Adi and Benny had already started going for the candy, after all, and a few other pairs. There weren’t any rules against copying that she was aware of, plus if anyone asked, she’d just use her family members as her excuse. Several of the names had sounded familiar anyway. She’d just have to remember them.

“Fine then,” she replied, as he’d tried to make a deal. It was his loss if they each had to list off both, although she wasn’t positive at all she could get five names of professor along with five heads. It’d be a lot easier to just do one or another, even if that still wouldn’t be easy. Considering she only knew of Professor Glendower for sure too. This activity seemed an awful lot like it was catered toward the older students.

She hadn’t really expected a favorable answer to her other question either. It had just been hope, but not even a lot of that either. Right now, she was more focused on making sure that she didn’t get dropped. At least ballet helped with that. She could balance pretty well, and she was already planning on blaming it on him if she hit the floor. He should be trying to make sure that he didn’t drop her anyhow.

Oh, and maybe he actually was. She’d glanced down as she heard his question, choosing to ignore the name again. She wasn’t letting him intentionally annoy her. “Course.” She was perfect. That shouldn’t have been a question at all. Except, the candy basket was coming awfully close…

“Nessarose Glendower, Gemma Cerulean, Professor Binns, Tiberius Dursley, Anjelica Lainey.” There. Five professors. Now it was back to him.

At first Frankie stepped slowly and cautiously, allowing himself time to adjust to the additional weight of an entire person on his shoulders. It was a little wobbly at first, but he managed to get the hang of it pretty quickly. Brooklyn was doing a good job of maintaining her balance on his shoulders, but naturally he was going to take all of the credit for getting across the room all giant-like.

Getting to their first basket was fairly simple, though his shoulders weren't liking the added baggage anymore. But he was not going to give up! Until that candy was in his very own hands, he was going to play along and be a good student. He was even keeping his comments about how this activity really wasn't helping him personally understand what being like a giant was all about. Brooklyn was definitely getting the full experience, but she wasn't grunting like a giant. Sigh. Such a waste of a perfect opportunity.

Frankie, after positioning them right next to the basket, then heard the Slytherin name off five former History of Magic professors. Glendower was of course mentioned, but the other names were foreign to him. He couldn't help but snort, quite certain that his partner only copied some of the names they overheard along the way. But he knew that he was going to end up doing the same thing when it was his turn to name former history professors when the get to their second basket. Needless to say, he wasn't looking forward to doing that at all.

"Smooth," he said before it was his turn to start naming some former Headmasters so they could get their first basket. "Alright. So ... Truebridge left recently. So there's one. ... And my parents were here when Rae-Branxton ran the place. ... Then there's the super oldies, like Dumbledore and Snape and McGonagall."

Tada! Basket one was theirs for the taking. Time to move on to basket number two...
