After a moment, it occurred to him that he'd have to actually make the movie go himself, and Mercer abandoned his pile of snacks before heading over to puzzle at the Muggle technology.

He had the VHS (Very Handy Sandwich. Violet Historical Suit. Vaunted Hat Stand.) and the machine, and it seemed like the VHS should go INTO the machine, but the little flappy door said no. Mercer blew on the tape, since blowing on Muggle technology always helped, and then shoved it through the flappy harder. Now he had NO VHS but a machine containing a VHS, and... instructions said to push the button with an arrow.

The screen suddenly sprung to life, and Mercer gleefully headed back to his snacks. Erm, seat.

She'd showed up at the proper time but strangely, this was not the Ravenclaw Zara was looking for. Frowning at the boy who forgot to put the movie in before he settled in, Zara waited a beat to be sure it was working before she came in anyway. Look, she'd signed in and committed to the project, so she was going to get her points or whatever. Yay Slytherin. Huzzah Hogwarts. Etc. Etc. Etc. She went over and stuffed a load of snacks in her bag on top of her own and then approached.

"Mind if I join you?" she inquired of the boy, plopping into the recliner next to him regardless. She flopped her ever-present bag around and began unloading snacks as though to sweeten her ask. "I've got Bertie Bott's, licorice wands, gummy bears, chocolate frogs, and then the professor-provided stuff." Off-brand sweets, but it was decent. She understood they must not pay well here, particularly since Hogwarts was looking more and more dilapidated day after day.
