Behind the castle lies the Black Lake. Though it may appear vast and lifeless from quick glances out the castle window, if you spend enough time around here, you will discover it to be teeming with life. Perhaps the most notable resident is Bartholomew Henry, the giant squid. Though rarely seen, it is not uncommon to notice him lazily sunbathing in the warmer months. Other denizens of the deep include a colony of Merpeople, grindylows, and, on occasion, Moaning Myrtle—fresh from the castle, flushed into the Lake by an unaware student.
Students are free to pull up a patch of grass to do some homework, take a nap, or just spend time with friends.
Nigel need some fresh air after all the insanity in the Room of Requirements. So what better place to go then the lake. Plus he could get a start on reading Peter Pan again. It was something he wanted to do since the term was coming to an end.
But he was not in the mood to read at this moment. Nigel sat down and took out his wand. He was not necessarily bored. He just wanted to start drawing shapes in the air with his wand.
While doing nothing. He started thinking about the fireworks he, Lex, Mika had made here. Last time he was at the lake.
They were pretty amazing.

Squirming, he tried to break free. That is until he felt the kiss on his cheek and heard her greeting. Oh. It was only Ronnie.
Feeling utterly foolish and flushing he turned to face his girlfriend. "Hey, Angel!'' he said, returning the kiss. "How are you?'' He looked closely at her. "Is everything alright?'' he asked with concern. She looked a bit...down. And around her eyes were a tad dark. Would ice cream cheer her up?
Jory grabbed the container he brought. "For you, my lady,'' he said with a grin.
Ronnie bit her lip. So he had noticed her not feeling too great. He was good at this, Jory was... "I erm...well...ever since I had ice cream at the toppings party yesterday, I've felt real down. And I have no idea why." she said with a sigh. "Plus, yesterday, there were dementors in the common room. And I chased after them into the room of requirement and helped fight them with some other people, and that caused me to have like no sleep last night. So I'm real tired." she explained, frowning and yawning. She had probably about three hours of sleep at the most.
Then Jory had ice cream for her. She looked at it for a second and didn't feel quite in the mood for ice cream, but didn't have the heart to tell Jory and disappoint him. He was only trying to help, so why not? She took it and smiled. "Thanks, Jory. You're real sweet, you know that?" she said, then leaned in to give him a kiss.

Laura looked around she was a bit upset at the minute but she would just forget about that, now it was time for a bit of fresh air, she had been really worried about different things and Minnie wasn't acting right at the minute and she wished she could help her but she knew she couldn't, so she just decided to forget it.
Laura decided that she would try and forget about things, she looked at the lake and then saw Nigel, she gave a small smile and then went over to him. "Hi Nigel, how have you been?" Laura wondered if he had done anything fun lately.

Jory listened to Ronnie as she explained what was bothering her. When she was done he gave her a hug. Pesky dementors were bothering everyone. "Well don't you worry about them,'' he said, hoping to make her feel maybe even a little bit better. As for the part with the ice cream and the toppings he had no idea what was going on there so he avoided the topic. She was feeling as tired as he was but he could always catch a nap later. Poor Ronnie. All he wanted was for her to go back being her cheerful and fun self.
Jory grinned. He took Ronnie's hand and pulled her onto the rock next to him. "Not more than you are,'' he told her and at the same time wondering what her happiest memory and Patronus were.

He was so good at brightening her day and making her all better. She planted a kiss upon his cheek and rested her head on his shoulder. "Y'know, you're the only person who can make me feel 100% better." she told him as she grabbed his hand in hers and entwined their fingers together. Smiling, she looked at him and shook her head. "No way, baby. You're so much sweeter!" she exclaimed.

It made the day even more special.. not that he really wanted her to go through a lot of trouble. "Well, this all is just very sweet," he said with the hint of a grin. Though that was just like her..
He knew he had at least been trying to spend more time studying with his exams right around the corner, which made it even more sweet that she had spent that time planning this dinner for them instead of just hanging out with some of her other friends that he was sure he took her away from. He shrugged a little at the question. He didn't want to worry her, but the truth was that he was having a more difficult time studying for these particular exams than he did for his OWLs for some reason. "It's going alright, I guess," he admitted. "A little slower going than I'd like, but it's getting there." He was often having difficulty focusing and he supposed that was why it seemed to be taking him longer to get through certain subjects to feel like he knew them well enough to be tested on.
Ethan allowed a nostalgic smile to form on his lips as he thought about their first date. "Well.. I did enjoy the nerves as well, I think. You were just so cute about everything.." He always did seem to like how nervous she could be around him, not in a bad way really, but that playful sort of tension there was sort of fun. He chuckled a bit as she mentioned the Divination professor. "I don't know that I have any sort of gift for sight.. but I do think that much has come true at least.."
His smile began to falter a bit as he noticed her beginning to tear up. "Oh.. don't.." he started, then smiled a bit as she squeezed his hand. He could see she was being sentimental and he was definitely feeling that way too, with memories of their first date surfacing and thoughts of how much they would always really be there for each other.. or at least he hoped. "I love you, too.." He hugged her back, holding her against him for a moment, as she wrapped her arms around him. Smiling at her words, he nodded. "I know you would.. I do know that.." Even with some of the fights they had, Ethan knew deep down that she really was his biggest supporter and would do pretty much anything for him.
Green eyes landed on the bag as she picked it up, then he looked back curiously at her as she handed it to him. "This is for me? Oh.. you didn't need to get me anything.." But he smiled a little, thinking how sweet it was, as he peered inside. First he pulled out a letter, which he began to read. Wow.. this was really just touching.. Once he finished reading, he looked back at her with a bit of awe in his eyes. "Min.. I.. don't even know what to say.. this is really.." He looked back down at the letter for a moment, then back up at her. "This really means a lot to me.. thanks." Other than that, he was just sort of speechless.
Minerva felt so many emotions she was happy and sad, but that was nothing new for the term this term. She smiled as he seemed so taken by everything, but her smile didn’t last and a frown became apparent. “Ethan.. I’m sorry.. I won’t bug you anymore. I have distracted you way to much this term.” She knew he had his mind towards her way to much and she appreciated everything he had done, but she needed to be there to support him more. She felt like she was failing as a girlfriend not helping him study more or pushing him to study more.
Minerva felt herself blush as he talked about the nerves. She felt so stupid for as much as she blushed and how nervous she was, but he was so cute that night and it was so perfect. She never could figure out why he made her so nervous, no other guy had made her that flustered. “Well that made one of us. I hated it.” She chuckled a bit to his reaction to her divination comment, “I don’t think. I know. This has been a wonderful two years even with some of the stuff that has went on.” They didn’t have perfect, but close enough for her. She thought of some of the issues that had come up, she knew that all of them were from her being dumb, but he always stuck by her.
She wiped the tears as he said not to.. Sorry love to late. She had just too many emotions going through her with all of this. Watching his face with the letter she couldn’t help but shed a few more tears knowing what it said and knowing what all this meant. She didn’t mean to cry, but the realization that he wouldn’t be here next term was way too strong in her head. “I.. I wanted to do it Ethan. You deserve much more, but I hope you like it. One of the items I need to explain.” She felt a bit nervous, scared even that he might think it was silly. She watched as he pulled things out, “Well the herbology gloves I think don’t need explaining, nor the frame, or the Ravenclaw panting, or the eagle stuffed animal.” she smiled at the last item knowing it was something silly, but she had liked it when she saw it over Christmas. Watching him pull out the pocket watch she smiled a sentimental smile. “That is going to need some explanation.. It.. It’s part of me.. Something so important to me that I want it to be with someone that is so important to me. It… It’s my dad’s.” She bit her lip trying to control her voice.
She watched his face was he going to think it was stupid… maybe.. it was pretty silly wasn’t it, but she wanted to show him just how important he was to her. How special he was.. “It is from the military..See the symbols.” Of course he saw the symbols, he wasn’t blind.

But she always made him feel loads better too. She had no idea how great it was seeing her after a little panic attack he had when he could not remember the wand movement nor incantation for the spell to create a photo frame. NEWT time was hovering. Let the nerves commence.
Here they went again! Jory lightly squished Ronnie's hand. "You're more!'' He stuck his tongue out at her. It was fun acting like a kid sometimes. And by the looks of it, Ronnie was not thinking of Dementors.

"A bit better, thanks to you." she replied, smiling. Oh, then she remembered something she wanted to tell him about the dementors. "I should tell you that for the happy memory I used to use my patronus was our first kiss." she told him quietly, smiling shyly. She remembered it all so clearly...standing with all of those students. And immidiately, that was the first happy thought that had come to her mind. And it had filled her with a feeling of such power, such confidence! She'd use that memory forever whenever she did the patronus charm.
Giggling, she stuck her tongue back out at him. "Nuh uh! YOU are!" she shot back at him, grinning. This was always such fun, they were such kids!
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Why did time pass by so slowly when you wanted something? Because eventhough it felt like he had waited forever , it had only been three days. For some strange reasons, the Prefect had had some very depressing thoughts and he had no idea where they had come from so it was good that he finally had something that he could look out for.
Not wearing his school uniform because he had two free periods right now, the Slytherin was dressed in a bright orange t-shirt (his favorite). The rubber duck tie that the Professor had given him when he won the bet about Slytherin winning the Quidditch Cup and black shorts that came to his knees. As he arrived at the Lake he looked around at first, eyes hidden behind black sunglasses searching for the Professor. Hmm...was he too early?
Or was the man just LATE?!
He decided to sit down on the grass and relax in the sun first before he had to work.

Awesome! Jory was really glad to hear that! At least he had helped. Then he heard what she said about the dementors. Wasn't Ronnie just the most adorable girl around? Their first kiss. It had been right at the Lake. But he couldn't agree more. "That would have been the memory I would use too,'' he told her and once again giving her had a squeeze. Jory doubted he ever felt that happy before that kiss. "What form does your Patronus take, anyway?'' he asked curiously.
"You're such a kid!'' the Puffer teased. As if he weren't acting like one. "You are! Loooooads more!''

Nigel was daydreaming for a little while. Until he heard his name mentioned. He turned his head and saw it was Laura. He has not talked to her since the hair incident.
"Hey Laura. How are you and how is the hair?"
As long as her hair was fine. Then it was okay. Hair was pretty important after all. Especially if you have awesome hair.

Ug. WHY had he suggested the lake for practice. It was sooooooooooo far from the Astronomy Tower. Did students know how many steps? There were...there were....actually...he was not sure how many there were. See, he had gotten bored after 2 minutes of counting and then had sort of just rolled down some of the stairs. His suit showed some of this as well - dust bunnies on his back and pant legs. Too much effort to remove his lint roller from his breast pocket and apply it to his suit.
Too.
Much.
Effort.
The man was practically on all fours, crawling, as he made his way towards the Slytherin prefect. Once he saw the boy's shoes, the astronomer collapsed on the ground with his head resting on his arms.
"Eh," he said in greeting, wiggling his index finger at the boy.

The Slytherin had been glad the Professor had suggested going to the Hogwarts Grounds because now he didn't had to climb up the stairs to the Astronomy tower. Did the Professors know how many steps there are from the Slytherin Common Room till the towers?!
Letting out a heavy breath, Daichi decided to lean back on his arms and looked at the sky for a moment. The sunlight hitting his white face that he knew was going to tan soon. Maybe he should get out more, the only thing he had been doing this year was eat ice cream.
Ugh, even the thought made him depressive. Ever since he had eaten the syrup his happiness had vanished. Well, the exaggerating happiness had vanished.
Out of the corner of his sunglassed eyes, The seventh year spotted the Professor craw...why was he crawling? Did he want to scare him or something? Well not today old man who according to himself wasn't old. Not today.
Oh? turned out he was not trying to scare him...good. "You know sir, we have legs so we can walk up right" His way of talking had changed as well, it wasn't the bubbly and hyper voice he had done all year because of the ice cream. His voice was more relaxed now and sounded more mature. Maybe not the pitch of his voice but his way of talking.
Hoping he wasn't going to give a lecture about cavemen and whatnot, he stood up from the grass. Daichi dusted off the sand off of his pants and held his hand out to help the OLD! man up. "Yush! let's begin!" eeeek he was going to learn how to make a cloud he could sit ooon :3
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ Claimed by Bits ❤️ ~ Queen of Typos ❄ Magical Mosh Pit ❄
While teasing Ronnie, Jory's eyes wandered towards an odd scene. Exactly why was Professor Flamsteed crawling? He looked funny and Jory could not resist laughing a bit. But Daichi seemed to have everything under control as he held out a hand to help the man up.
The Puffer didn't know why but he was in the mood to go jogging or something. You know, move about, get his feet moving. He jumped up from the rock he had been sitting on and began to do some stretches. While doing this he suddenly had a vision of himself doing a jig. Whhhhaaat? Jory wasn't a good dancer. Nope. he wasn't yet here he was not only thinking of the jig now but actually wanting to do it. Here. At the Lake. For all to see.
And for once he did not mind. "Maybe I'll provide entertainment for those around,'' he mused, shifting his weight to his left foot and putting his right one in front of him and pointing the toes. It was an Irish jig he was attempting if he remembered correctly. Hopping on the left foot, Jory swung his right foot back and forth. He grinned. Hey! This was actually fun!
Now, the Puffer shifted his weight to the right foot and repeated the process all over again. "Should have done this a long time ago!'' He didn't care right now if anyone was watching him. He knew that with the jig he was supposed to keep his arms as still as possible but he wasn't going to do that. Nope! Jory raised his arms above his head and began waving them all around. "I must look like an idiot!'' he muttered but who cares? This was crazy awesome!
No more replies? That was fine. It was getting hard to really talk anyway, and she hated the stuttering that she couldn't really prevent because of the cold. It made it sound even worse than it already was.
She was really bored too by the way. Bored and cold. How long HAD they been out here? She was really curious, only because she didn't have much else to think about besides being cold and tired and wanting him to just GIVE UP and lose like a gentleman or whatever he was.
And because she was bored, she looked away from his face - yeah, how you feel about that Mr. I'm-So-Attractive? Smirk - and noticed the snow that was still nearby and around them. Right. There WAS snow everywhere else. Only the snow under her had really melted...the rest was fine...and she had a free hand...
Hmmmmm.
"Wh-What if it w-w-was a t-t-t-tie?" Throwing that idea out there. Just to see what he thought. She much preferred winning, but a tie was also better than losing/giving up, and she figured he might think so too. But maybe not. He did have a knack for surprising her a lot of the time.
And if that was the case, she might have her own surprise up her sleeve.
A tie? She wanted to go and do a tie after ALL this time that they had both put in? This was the longest snow fight he had even been a part of and now she just wanted to go and give it all up without so much of anything at all? Hmm. Yeah, okay. He could live with that. After all, it meant that he didn't lose and since he wanted to go back inside at this point he would take her saying it was a TIE as her giving up and so he WON. 'Course, he would never say that out loud or else they'd be back in their fight once more.
So he nodded at her and sat up to help her off of the grass since they had melted through the snow. Sitting up on his knees, he put out his hand and smirked, "Alright. Fine, a tie then." Which meant that he won. How was THAT shiver lady?
Speaking of which, was she okay? Ascanius was worried sick about her getting ill and stuff.

Take the hand, Pen.
Oh hey, he DID agree to calling it a tie. Good. He must have finally realized that he had lost and that he also wanted to go inside and get warm, but he was too stubborn to admit he'd lost. She understood though, yep. Losing wasn't fun, so clearly she was being nice by suggesting a tie even though she'd clearly won. Such a good girlfriend, wasn't she? Heh. He got a grin from her.
But now that that was settled, Penelope didn't have much else now to allow her to ignore the cold, and the shivering felt even worse now. Her hand shook as she grabbed his and quickly tried to pull herself up. Her other arm wrapped instinctively around her body, as if that would help warm her up.
"M-M-Merlin, i-it's c-c-c-cold..." And the castle seemed so far away suddenly. Ugh, walking would be so much effort.

He got a smirk from her, which was encouraging. It was nice to see that his girlfriend KNEW she was wrong and that she had lost 'cause he was the clear winner in this battle. Yeah, nobody else could contest a victory like his. She had given up and ASKED for a tie-- or as he would later recall it as BEGGING-- so he had won fair and square. It was encouraging to say the least.
Ascanius was a tad surprised with JUST how could she was when she stood up and automatically wrapped her arms around him. He could feel the shiver racking her body and it made him feel sort of badly. So he kissed the top of her head and said, "I know. C'mon. Let's get you up to the castle."
And he would get her blankets and warm stuff to speed up the process.

It was encouraging to say the least.
Ascanius was a tad surprised with JUST how could she was when she stood up and automatically wrapped her arms around him. He could feel the shiver racking her body and it made him feel sort of badly. So he kissed the top of her head and said, "I know. C'mon. Let's get you up to the castle."
And he would get her blankets and warm stuff to speed up the process.
Psh, Penelope Greenwells did not beg ever. That is all.
But they did get REALLY cold. The bad thing about being kinda small and stuff? It kinda made it easier for the cold to spread through her whole body and make her feel even colder. And with how long she'd been practically buried in the snow, that made it even worse than that. So. Cold. Ugh.
She leaned against him when he put his arms around her. It didn't help a whole lot since he was kinda cold too, but he did make it a little bit better. Kept the wind off her more and stuff. And the kiss helped too. "Ok-k-k-kay..." Shivering violently, she continued leaning against him as she stood and tried to turn towards the castle.

Minerva felt so many emotions she was happy and sad, but that was nothing new for the term this term. She smiled as he seemed so taken by everything, but her smile didn’t last and a frown became apparent. “Ethan.. I’m sorry.. I won’t bug you anymore. I have distracted you way to much this term.” She knew he had his mind towards her way to much and she appreciated everything he had done, but she needed to be there to support him more. She felt like she was failing as a girlfriend not helping him study more or pushing him to study more.
Minerva felt herself blush as he talked about the nerves. She felt so stupid for as much as she blushed and how nervous she was, but he was so cute that night and it was so perfect. She never could figure out why he made her so nervous, no other guy had made her that flustered. “Well that made one of us. I hated it.” She chuckled a bit to his reaction to her divination comment, “I don’t think. I know. This has been a wonderful two years even with some of the stuff that has went on.” They didn’t have perfect, but close enough for her. She thought of some of the issues that had come up, she knew that all of them were from her being dumb, but he always stuck by her.
She wiped the tears as he said not to.. Sorry love to late. She had just too many emotions going through her with all of this. Watching his face with the letter she couldn’t help but shed a few more tears knowing what it said and knowing what all this meant. She didn’t mean to cry, but the realization that he wouldn’t be here next term was way too strong in her head. “I.. I wanted to do it Ethan. You deserve much more, but I hope you like it. One of the items I need to explain.” She felt a bit nervous, scared even that he might think it was silly. She watched as he pulled things out, “Well the herbology gloves I think don’t need explaining, nor the frame, or the Ravenclaw panting, or the eagle stuffed animal.” she smiled at the last item knowing it was something silly, but she had liked it when she saw it over Christmas. Watching him pull out the pocket watch she smiled a sentimental smile. “That is going to need some explanation.. It.. It’s part of me.. Something so important to me that I want it to be with someone that is so important to me. It… It’s my dad’s.” She bit her lip trying to control her voice.
She watched his face was he going to think it was stupid… maybe.. it was pretty silly wasn’t it, but she wanted to show him just how important he was to her. How special he was.. “It is from the military..See the symbols.” Of course he saw the symbols, he wasn’t blind.
Ethan furrowed his brow and shook his head a bit as he saw Minerva's frown and heard her words. "No.. you don't need to apologize. And it's not like you're bugging me. I genuinely want to spend time with you. It's not that.. it's just.." He trailed off a bit, searching for the proper words, not really finding them. "There was a lot going on this term.." Well, that about summed it up, didn't it? And even though he only had a few weeks left to study, he wasn't doing it without seeing her. He would be fine. "Maybe you could help me study some. And I mean really study.. without our usual distractions," he said with a chuckle. Not that he normally minded, but he did need to get actual work done and perhaps he could still spend time with her.
His smile grew as she recounted her nerves on their first date. "Aww, come on.. I know you didn't hate it. Wasn't it kind of exciting to get that butterfly in your stomach feeling and your heart racing?" He knew he had similar yet different feelings around her when they first started dating and he had enjoyed that initial excitement. "I agree," he grinned. "It's been a great two years.. and you gotta take the good with the bad," he added with a good-natured shrug. And as difficult some of that had been to deal with, he wouldn't have changed anything as long as he got to be with her. She was worth all that to him.
His eyes kept scanning the letter, going over the words again. He still didn't really have the words to express how very touched he was with all of this. Ethan looked up at Minerva's voice and could see the tears falling.. and he could feel himself getting choked up with emotion. "I do like it.. I like everything. It's just really so much." He smiled at her, then looked down at the bag, pulling the things out. He wasn't sure he deserved so much from her, but he really appreciated all that she had done. Herbology gloves.. Ethan grinned at those as he took them out of the bag and set them aside. A picture of the two of them.. House-themed gifts.. these all got grins as well.
Then he pulled out a pocket watch and he looked up at her curiously as she spoke. Something important to her.. for someone important.. He listened to her explanation and just grew speechless over how incredibly poignant and significant this was. He looked at her, then looked back down at the watch, running his fingers over the raised symbols. "This belonged to your father..? And you want me to have it.. I don't even know what to say, Min." He looked back up at her. "I know how special this has to be for you.. and that makes it even more so for me. I'll cherish it always." Smiling a little bit bigger, he leaned over and kissed her. "Thanks for this.. for all of this. I really do love you."

Feeling certain now that the tree had given her the go-ahead, Eliza knelt down and began to dig a small hole at the base. That was what her text had told her to do to begin her offering, so that's what she'd try. Even though, to her, if she were the tree, she wouldn't want people digging holes on her front porch so-to-speak. The tree lived here, and she was digging a hole? She shrugged.
After the hole was a few inches deep, she rounded it along the edges because to her, it would look nicer and more like a gift if it was smooth and circular. She wasn't entirely sure why though. She looked up at the tree and told it what she was doing. "I thought you might like some gifts for being so nice about this," she said as she pulled out her wand. "First, I know you like water, so here you go. Aguamenti," she cast into the hole. "And then, I know that this is the best stuff ever, so I wanted to share it with you." She pulled out a small jar of ice cream she'd smuggled form the kitchen and put that in the hole as well. "And then, because you can't juuuust have desert, even though it would be nice, here is some freshly baked bread for you. I figured it came from the ground before as wheat and all, so maybe it would be like...a nice cycle thing to give it back?"Unless it's somehow like cannibalism?!OHNO! Is a tree eating or being around dead wheat a bad thing? Does it mind? I don't know how trees FEEL! Trying to hide the sudden panic, the third year plastered a smile on her face and began to fill the hole back in with her offerings inside. Hopefully the tree would like them.

"Thanks for this.. for all of this. I really do love you."
Minerva knew he would say that he always said that, but she still felt bad. She knew she was more than just a little pest this term. He was right saying about the term, but she was most of his stress this term and deep down she knew that. She gave him a small smile, “Sure how ever I can help I will. We can even go to the library to study.” See no distractions at the library, just books… which could be a distraction really..
She felt herself blush at his words, “Of course I didn’t hate it, it was fun, but I think I enjoy being able to have a conversation with you without freaking out in my head better. Plus I still get nervous with you, just a little bit different. The jumpy butterfly feeling still comes.” She smiled and kissed his cheek. She was telling the truth seeing him at times made her heart still stop she hoped that would never go away. A frown hit her face with the good and bad comment. Most.. no all that bad was because of her. She hated that she brought so much drama into his life. She just hoped she could make it up to him some how.
Minerva really hoped he liked his gifts. She knew most were lame, but she thought he might like them at least, but her eyes scanned his face to see what he was thinking towards the pocket watch. She hoped he knew what type of commitment she was proving by doing this. She knew she had said she hoped and wanted to be with him for a long time, but maybe this would fully explain her feelings. He truly had been the reason for so much of her progress and she hoped he knew how special he was to her. She smiled at his words knowing he did understand and wiped away tears that yet again were falling. “I’m glad you like it. He cherished it, I was really surprised he didn’t have it with him on the plane.. I found in one of his bags they had given me.” She looked down thinking about it for a moment then tried to push it from her mind. Not here.. not now.
Kissing him back she smiled, “I love you too” Picking up his plate she handed it to him again, “Sorry I guess we got a little side tracked for a moment. Eat before it gets to cold. I have apple pie and Forest cake for after dinner.” Yes she even remembered the two treats he had for the date. She really did hope he liked everything.

Letting out a heavy breath, Daichi decided to lean back on his arms and looked at the sky for a moment. The sunlight hitting his white face that he knew was going to tan soon. Maybe he should get out more, the only thing he had been doing this year was eat ice cream.
Ugh, even the thought made him depressive. Ever since he had eaten the syrup his happiness had vanished. Well, the exaggerating happiness had vanished.
Out of the corner of his sunglassed eyes, The seventh year spotted the Professor craw...why was he crawling? Did he want to scare him or something? Well not today old man who according to himself wasn't old. Not today.
Oh? turned out he was not trying to scare him...good. "You know sir, we have legs so we can walk up right" His way of talking had changed as well, it wasn't the bubbly and hyper voice he had done all year because of the ice cream. His voice was more relaxed now and sounded more mature. Maybe not the pitch of his voice but his way of talking.
Hoping he wasn't going to give a lecture about cavemen and whatnot, he stood up from the grass. Daichi dusted off the sand off of his pants and held his hand out to help the OLD! man up. "Yush! let's begin!" eeeek he was going to learn how to make a cloud he could sit ooon :3
Airey sort of rolled on to his back so he could look up at the boy more easily - only then he was kind of sort of looking directly into the sun which hurt his eyes and burnt his retina. "I found this way to be easier," he sighed as he shut his eyes tight to avoid the rays of the sun.
His eyes were shut when the Slytherin offered his hand to the man, so he didn't see it. He could instruct just fine from down here on the ground, thank you very much. "Wand out, Mr. Katharos," he instructed. "First thing you need to practice is the wand movement. It is a sort of vertical zigzag. You zig and you zag twice."
He did manage to lift his right index finger to demonstrate, but that was about it. And he was just going to stay here on the ground. It was actually SORT OF comfortable. At least he had picked a spot without rocks.

Oh? instructions from the ground? Alright then...
Daichi lowered his arm when the man refused his help and sighed. Why was it that each time he tried to be helpful , people refused the help? Looking around for a moment while the Professor was busy not looking in the sunlight and spotted Jory looking at them. He waved at his friend before looking back down again.
MEEEP! instructions! "SIR, YES SIR!" the Slytherin saluted and then flicked his wrist, the phoenix feather core wand fell in his hand. He looked at the LAZY tutor as he told the next instruction from the ground and followed the zigzagging motion from his finger.
As he followed the finger, his head went up, down and then up again. Well, that was easy! "It's THAT easy?! why did i have to wait till i was a seventh year?" he asked and added a "Professor" behind it quickly to not sound too rude.
While he waited for an answer, the Slytherin began to practise zig-zagging the wand.
Zigzag zigzag stop...zigzag zigzag stop...zigzag zigzag stop... How long was he supposed to do this?

With Quidditch season being over, Alice's arms needed to do things that kept them from hanging limp all day, also known as exercise. Mo seemed like the best overall choice for partnering up to do plant work, because he was named after a plant. It made sense, getting a Cactus to help her with gathering things around the ground and moving them to the Student Garden. Bentley would definitely appreciate the variety of plants there, wouldn't she?
If she didn't, they could just deny that was their work. She had it all planned out.
Lugging along a bucket full of gardening equipment, she accompanied Mo to the Lake. They'd find different kind of flowery stuff in the grass, right? Or at the bases of trees? "I call dibs on this half of the area," Alice announced, once she'd evaluated which side of the space would probably have more plants.
She tugged a hand trowel out of her bucket and located a patch of flowers before starting. No harming the itty bitty blossoms, right? Her Herbology professor sure wouldn't approve of that.

"You can't call dibs," Mo protested, but it was a weak sort of protest. Obviously Alices could do as they pleased, and this particular Alice was a dibs-caller. He'd have to remember that if they did a project together again next term. Mo picked up his supplies and moved away from Alice, toward the area she'd indicated.
It didn't seem very active, this digging up business. Just bending and digging and putting stuff right and then standing up and then walking a few feet to do it all again. But it wasn't proper exercise, like the running Mo did most days or playing Quidditch.
"Are you sure this is properly active?" he stooped and began to pull out handfuls of weeds from around a tiny shrubbery that had branched off a bigger shrub. If he could clear it out, Mo would replant the shrubbery by that bench he liked in the student garden.
