It'd be FUN! Besides, Jace was up super high, and Ariadne figured he would be able to see the parchment from up there, and he said he didn't.
She nodded along as he discussed logic. "You're such a Ravenclaw," she said with a grin. "That's not a bad thing either. Good point. Let's get out of here and find somewhere else on the seventh floor." Ariadne turned around and looked at the other topiaries. She thought they were amazing and wondered if Flamsteed had done them himself. If so, he was talented! She nodded again. "A very GOOD trick," she commented.
...and she left the tower patch in search of another area.
Ariadne is a very interesting Slytherin. She doesn't seem to be the typical Slytherin. She is driven, that Jace could tell.
"We are lost indeed." The Ravenclaw sheepishly grinned at his partner. He really didn't expect this kind of trick, but then, it made the hunt more fun and challenging.
"It has to be on this floor. I don't think Professor Tanner would make us climb all the way to the spires...although the idea of climbing is quite tempting."
Jace's face turned pink when Ariadne acknowledged him being a Ravenclaw. He knew it to be a compliment, and it was enough for the young boy to blush. Isn't she glad she's got a Ravenclaw for a partner? Haha.
"Mm." Jace nodded in agreement, and followed Ariadne out of the garden. He will have to go back there to explore the area more. It was a good place to read a good book...and its proximity to the Ravenclaw Towers was more than convenient for all the Eagles.
vvv OOC: DIFFERENT TIMELINE vvv
Finally! Some quiet time after all the homework! Now that
Jace is once again on top of his academic duties, the small Ravenclaw boy allowed himself to wander outside of their Common Room, and decided to spend the rest of the afternoon at the Tower Patch, wherein he and Ariadne lost their way during their Arithmancy activity.
Since his mother isn't around to tell him that he can't climb trees, Jace took the opportunity to climb one. And this time, he scaled the Eagle topiary, laid on the back of it, and started to read his book. Merlin, this just might be his next favourite place to read.
Alright, onto the next chapter...
