"I'm going to get the candy now so I'll need to let go for a minute." Releasing her partner's hands, Janelle slowly stood up. Even on Benzi's shoulder, she had to really reach for the candy bag. Stretching to her full height and then some, Janelle was able to pull the candy down. "Got it", she said.

Bending her legs again, Janelle reached down with one hand to hold onto Benzi's and kept the candy in her other hand. "OK, you can start walking now." Given her knowledge of History of Magic professors, Janelle thought that she'd better start naming them now. It might take a while. "I'm going to try to name some professors while you move on to the other candy bag." Oh boy. This was going to be a challenge.

Starting with the easy one first, Janelle said, "Professor Glendower". Thinking hard, Janelle added, "Oh, Professor Binns". Then she drew a blank and she still had three more to go. "Um ........Professor ........ McCormack." Then there was the one on the Board of Governors, what was his name. "Professor Vinteren", that was it. One more, Janelle needed one more name. Then it came to her. "Scabior, Professor Scabior" Kyroh's relative. She almost forgot about him. Thank Merlin she was able to come up with some names because it was definitely touch and go there for a while. Now all they needed was for Benzi to name five more and they would be good to go.
Benzi grinned up at the girl on his shoulders. "You try not remembering names when your mother talks about this stuff around the dinner table for fun," also he'd been studying, but blaming his mother seemed much more fun right now.

Regardless, all thoughts of history momentarily left his head as she let go of his hands and the prefect focused on staying very very still as she reached up for the candy bar. Grabbing onto one of her hands when she was done, he frowned when the other didn't come. "Stick the candy in your pocket and give me your other hand," he said, and wiggled that hand around as he very very very slowly started walking again.

Please don't fall please don't fall please don't fall. He was barely even listening to her rattle out the list of Professors but nodded when she'd apparently finished. "Great job," he said, and then realised it was his go. Reminding her about the hand she needed to give him with a little finger wiggle, Benzi thought back friday nights at the Rider household. And then tried to recall who Janelle had just said so that he wouldn't be repeating names.

"Right, History of Magic professors... There's Professor Helena obviously and Professor Dursley, who taught here when I was a first year..," he started, then went silent for a good thirty seconds as he focused on not running into another couple of students who were getting rather close to them. "Uh, I'm basically trying to remember who my mother talked about and go from there... So there was Professor Lainey? And Professor Truebridge who's Truebridge's husband, and there was a Professor Svensson. That's five right?" was that it? Could she grab the candy bar and get off now because his heart rate was up and he was nervous. If something startled him now Janelle would be toast.

He eyed the room carefully. No one better startle him now.
