Does it become an endless cycle of people jumping out planes trying to save the others?" Arya looked up at the professor with bright eyes as she stuffed more candy into her mouth.
She had ignored all the insignificant details about the sport, she would never jump from a plane or building anyway. All her questions stemed from her innocent curiosity......and the candy. "New York City. Do people jump there? Or how about Los Angeles oooor the Grand Canyon? Do they jump over water? " Now that she would do, still not from a plane though. Not knowing much about quidditch, she let the other answers pass without more questions. "ADD, what's that? Is it like a timer that's set to go off when you jump from the plane incase you like.....pass out or forget to pull the parachute open?" She began to rock on her bean bag, still looking up at the professor waiting for more answers. All this suger was really starting to get to the girl.
She sucked on the wand for a moment, giggling at his question. "It tasssste like strawberries. Mmmmmm, want one?" She pulled another liquorice wand out of her pocket and waved it about for him to take. Or not...she didn't care, more for her. "I would think the answer to that should be obvious," Xylon said. He would have taken her question lightly, even as a joke if the topic had not been so serious for him.
Okay scratch that. Because by the time she had paused to take a breath Xylon was clueless. Completely clueless. Does it become an endless cycle of jumps? "I'm sure it will if you're in charge," he said holding back a little sigh. Be nice kid, be nice. I don't want to be driven insane, I'm only seventeen. I want to surf and become a dragon-keeper and have kids.
Wait. He hadn't thought that last bit.
Merlin, tell him he hadn't!
"Yes and yes and yes," He wasn't even sure which questions he was repsonding to now. They were all a jumble in his head. "---- and I just explained what an AAD is, Miss Lovegoods." MustNotSigh. "It's a device that automatically opens a parachute container at a preset altitude or time. So to answer your question, yes. It does help if 'forget'."
Though Merlin! He knew he would pity someone who could 'forget' to pull a parachute open.
He grinned at the candy wand. "Keep it, Miss Lovegoods, I'm sure you'll enjoy an extra one." Professors didn't suck on strawberry-flavour wands in class did they? Quote:

"Good luck." Quote:

She wasn't really paying much attention to what he was saying about how heavy these things were. She didn't need to know the answer, since she wasn't going to ever wear one. They'd probably give her a ugly blue one..
Destiny's eyes widened when the Professor Guy answered her second question. The answer was NOT at all what she expected and she was soooo glad she was wrong! "TEN bags of CANDY!? Can WE ALL go into the forbidden forest RIGHT now and look for people in TREES!?"
She wanted this candy. Xylon could feel Professor Lawson's pain now. To have to deal with students such as..... them. Seriously! It obviously took huge amounts of both courage and patience.
---- and the strength to resist the urge to bang your head against a wall.
"Parachute yes," he said, deciding to ignore that Destiny had mispronounced the noun once again. Then the corners of his mouth tugged up into a rare smile. Merlin needed to meet Destiny and declare that there was someone who could duel and defeat him, after all.
Because she would drive him mad with her insanity awesome.
"We can if you promise to stay silent for two whole days," he said. Pshaww. Nil. Zilch. Impossible. Quote:

He only wanted fun in the class.
And... the boy didn't have a clue what they were learning.
Rawrr. Well.
That was illuminating.
"Mr. SorryButIDon'tKnowYourLastNam, you will get off Mr. Lawson right now or I will be compelled to take drastic measures." Such as the levitate the kid right off their actual Muggle Studies professor.
He doubted that Jake would listen to him but it was worth a try. No one could say then, that he hadn't warned the Huffie. Quote:

Is this what the kids felt like when he was up there conducting a class?
"I shall take your word for it Professah Saaaaar." They were still MENTAL in his opinion but then he was afraid of heights so he wasn't going to approve either way. Xylon grinned.
"You had better, sir." Unless he wanted to be tortured to another lengthy explanation!
