She was already starting to feel hungry and she had hardly even made a dent in the project!!!! This was gonna be a LONG night. Maybe she'd call it a day in a couple of hours and then pick it back up tomorrow. That honestly sounded like a much better plan.
La la la la painting the walls piiiiiiii--
Uh oh.
The Gryffindor felt her arm freeze, hearing the voice of a Professor coming from behind her. She very reluctantly turned her head, arm held where it had been before he came. Zoryn Amari Spinnet had a couple of options here:
a) She could tell the truth
b) She could blame Schmoop
c) She could get creative
Of course option a was a total bust and it didn't so much as cross her mind for more than 1 second. There was no way she'd dish the truth as it meant getting in trouble and probably landing herself in a detention that she didn't have time for, given her commitment to Quidditch. Option b was appealing, but she'd need Schmoop's help to finish the work and she didn't wanna burn bridges just yet, y'know? So she'd have to go with option c and it was a real good thing she was fast on her feet.
The Gryffindor responded almost immediately, wearing a big smile to greet her Professor with. "Thanks, sir!" She had a feeling he was only saying that though. "It's for class project, actually!" The thing about lies were that you had to keep them real simple, and open ended. That way you couldn't trap yourself in them. It was the very first thing she had learned about them.
