THIS was just a horrible consequence of having to share a castle and having very limited opportunity for free space.

But he was making it work (hardly!). What a trooper, truly. Speaking of which, he was really hanging in there. Didn't dare let go of his hold around the desk, as any wrong move and there would be another catastrophic avalanche of paperwork. Such! A! Trooper!!!

"WELL," it was another good question, he had to admit. "For many reasons, er, typically the rubber duck is introduced to the muggle at a young age. The formative years, if you will." His eyes looked at a spot just above her right ear as he explained. "It wouldn't be surprising if a sense of childhood nostalgia was involved or if a sense of dependency was built or if the rubber duck became... a friend." He smiled uncomfortably from his hunched over position.

"I guess the fondness towards rubber ducks could potentially extend to wizards too," he mused. "But they are far more relevant in muggle pop culture, just one of those things that never made it's way across the pond," HAHAHA GET IT? That was a pun. Finneas looked at her expectantly waiting for the joke to make her laugh. Yes.

Perhaps there had been an earthquake, one of those small, insignificant geological tremors that Bernadette hadn't felt, but which "Professor" Schmore had? And thus, he'd felt the need to continue to hug his desk, lest it all fall apart right now? He was such. an. oddball. What a wonder, truly. He was literally hanging on to the desk. Such! a! ~~weirdo~~ wonder!!! She had to blink several times in a row at him ~~little did she know the man's oddness was contagious~~ just to force her thoughts to focus on rubber ducks and not on the potential awesome catastrophe that would befall this room should a more severe earthquake occur.

Anyway. ANYWAY. AnYwAy.

She was a bit placated by his response. It did ring true, and sounded QUITE academic for such a... curious person. She hadn't actually been expecting a decent answer from Schmoe, and might have nodded along at his response. Bernadette might have even cracked the faintest of smiles at the professor's pun, but she quickly looked down at her notes again and cleared her throat, as though clearing away all signs of amusement. It also signaled that she was moving on to a new line of questioning. So he'd passed the object test, big deal. That was the SMALLEST of the TESTS.

"What is Muggle primary and secondary school like, and how does it differ from the wizard education system?"

All REAL "professors" would know this one.
