He listened with interest to the recap of the Runes, not particularly being able to focus on them at the moment with the prospect of camping.
When there was a pause in teaching, he slipped his sweater off and prodded Arya gently, offering it to her. "If you get cold." Which, despite being by a fire could happen. "Or you can use it as a cushion." Either worked and he set it down beside them so that she could have easy acess to it if she wished. Then it was S'more business and bringing his mind back to focus on the topic at hand; Ancient Runes, not camping.

NOdding affirmatively, Ivory agreed with the second more obviously appreciated option. "Sofas...pfft. Camping is made for sleeping under the stars!"
Arranging all the seperate things on their appointed little spot, Ivory turned at the sound of a female voice nearby.Smiling, she nodded.
"Of course not. The more the merrier." Wiping her hands on her jeans, she held one out and shook her new friend's hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ivory. Ivy for short and this is Arya."
Getting the introductions out the way, now it was time to pitch their tent. Unsurprisingly, with three pairs of hands they were able to make quick work of it. 3 heads after all were better than one.
Sitting down out side their almost finished product, pondering on paint she grinned at a nearby famliar person.
Waving over at the nearby Sabel and his very competant shelter Ivory giggled as she watched her best friend approach him...or more to the point the tree next to him. That was Arya alright.
And as they brought a tarp over to shelter their tent, she stood up gratefully. "Hey that's a great idea, thanks Sabel." And she didn't mind the idea of a Hufflepuff flag one bit. "Yellow's bright color and it'd be like a beacon of friendliness."
Smiling, she turned back to the tent making last minute adjustments even as she sang softly along to Sabel's previous tune. "Badger, badger, badger, muuuushroooom....."
A while later, with a badger flag, cushions, Arya's comfy looking inside sofa, some colorchanging charms, a few homey touches along with some glow in the dark stars painted on the tent, it seemed their handiwork was finished.
Smiling at their finished product, Ivory tilted her head at the sound of the Professor's voice. A game?! Smores?!
She was totally all for it.Taking a seat near Roxxy, her bestie and Sabel, she made quick work of putting together a few S'mores. Eating the first one , she gave a little moan of happiness at the taste. "Oh my gosh these things are soo good."
But then her mind was on other things...like Hagalaz and its meaning. Which was on the tip of her tongue along with some marshmellow...which was so tasty...but nevermind that. Must concentrate...Hagalaz..what was it.
Something about the weather?
Arya gave Sabel a grateful smile and took his sweater, and placed it in her lap. She would use it as a cushion for her elbows while she roasted her marshmallows.
"Thanks Sabel." The puff grinned at Ivy as she took a seat beside her, giving her a playful nudge as she got comfortable. Now that they were all settled down and making s'mores, she could actually focus on the lesson at hand and attempt to answer questions.

"In the Runes classroom in the castle, Miss Flores-Shepard -" she looked at the pesky!intelligent child - "Mentioned how runes are used in jewellery. This is not always for the purpose of ornamentation. Runes can make for beautiful pendants and bracelets, but do you think there can be other reasons that people first began to wear runes?"
Arya finished snacking on the s'more in her hand while the professor spoke. She had nooo idea why people would wear runes, but she could take a guess couldn't she?
"They could have worn them to ward off some dark creatures." Her sticky hand was half raised.
"Like muggles used to wear garlic to ward off vampires." She wondered what would runes scare off as she worked on another s'more.
