Scrunching up his nose, Jake pulled the plant closer to himself, feeling each of the leaves. He occasionally came across what felt like a lumpy leaf, but still wasn't sure... maybe it was those things.
"Yuhh-yeah," he nodded, deciding to just GO for it. He had nothing to lose, right? He could always steal another plant.
"I'm fuhh-fourth year... bbbbut I don't always sssseem like it," Jake added, tugging a few what-must-have-been-buds from the plant and setting them on the worktable. He had referring to his height; still at 4'9" (was he still that height? The ground seemed to be further away by a couple of inches) he seemed more like a first year. He had, of course, started at Hogwarts at a little under this height.
And then of course, there were the absolute tantrums he tended to throw.
"Whuhh-what about yyyyou?" he asked, pushing the plant towards Becca so she could have a turn (and so Jake could doss about).
