Maxie offered the Gryffindor a nod as she spoke to him. He was a tinge on the pink side, but it was- so far- managable. the Chaser nodded- yes, Max- that was him- it felt good to be seen as Max and not as Kowalski, even if it didn't happen as often as he wishes.

"A-A-anahera." It was a greeting, as friendly as Maxie was capable.

He wished, quite sincerely that the professors would leave him well enough alone. He did not like speaking if he could avoid it- especially during class. The hufflepuff always hoped they'd just accept his nod and carry on..

and sometimes!! they did! and it was great, and he'd carry on quietly and effieciently and sometimes they didn't. Simran didn't. flushed, Maxie did not meet the Astronomy Professor's gaze as he forced a very uncomfortable laugh.

hahaha. ha. ha.

Back to mostly miserable, Maxie spent the next ten mintutes beating himself up for his feigned laughter. The 13-year-old was certain the whole class - including Celine and Eloise who were known for their teasing - had heard it and thought him a big dumb dumb head.

So busy stressing over his mishap was Maxie, he missed the entire first question- but thankfully- blessedly- not the following activity. He didn't want a repeat of his experience with Professor Carmine.

Carefully, the young boy used the screws to attach the clamp- it was actually very easy but he worried as he did it and that made everything harder - next was constructing the pendulum. Maxie took a deep breath, calming his anxious fingers before tying the string perfectly around the pendulum bob- he considered adding a little something extra with a more complicated not but immediately decided against something so silly. Next came tying the thing to the pivot and.. yeah, yeah, that looked just right.

Okay. Just displace and release like the professor said. He'd done this before, but felt very little confidence desite it.

Displace. and release.

One oscillation.

good.

Two oscillation.

keep going. Maxie silently urged.

Three oscillation.

Four oscillation

Five oscillation

Six oscillation

only four more.

Seven oscillation

Eight oscillation

Nine oscillation

Ten oscillation.

Maxie breathed out with relief, his lips a small, but pleased smile.

Notes taken, Maxie settled back in his chair and listened as the Professor began once more to speak.

......... He'd just quietly keep his mouth shut, thanks.
