Muggle Studies Lesson One: I'm gonna mail myself to you
Ready for your first muggle studies lesson of the term? Professor Meredith Moxley is. She's arranged the space so that rows of tables are situated around the room, two chairs at each one. All tables are facing front and the arrangement has put Professor Moxley's desk, and the large floating white board just behind it, directly in your line of sight. She is, after all, the main attraction.
You'll find your professor sitting behind her desk, humming a tune to herself as she fiddles with the bright orange vest she's wearing for this occasion. The zipper in the front appears to be stuck but NO WORRIES, she's got this covered! Why don't you go find a seat and class will be getting started shortly. Oh and don't forget to check out the board! Your first assignment is already up there.

"You don't know everything about vases," Dot let herself be wrapped up tightly in the bubble wrap, and when she was tapped off, she did a wiggle to make sure she was secure. Yup. This package was not going to get damaged in transit.
At the professor's instructions, Dot tried to penguin walk toward the starting line, although she was slow enough that she could hear her partner's explanations very clearly. A poisonous and pretty plant. How very Slytherin, although she doubted that he didn't know where his name came from. That was a standard question kids asked when they were growing up. "You know you're pretty. Are you also poisonous? I think I deserve to know that."
She WAS ready to go, actually. Waddle-hop-waddle-hop. "You should carry me. Don't flirt with me, though, because I'll break your heart. I'm devastating."
Honestly? He knew nothing about vases, except they could break, but that was something everyone knew. "Perhaps." Dot was right, he couldn't deny that, but he wouldn't openly admit it.
NOW, they had to do this quickly and that was the tricky part. Oleander was certain the postmen took their precious time when delivering a package, so he was failing to see how this was anything like the real thing. He liked Moxley's approach, though. Both Slytherins seemed to be ready, then, and Oleander merely smirked at her comment. Yeah, he knew. "I'll tell you a secret once we're done." So she could ponder on poisonous plants all the way.
Laughter, yeah, it happened. Not devastating, but probably deadly, and extremely clever, but he said nothing on that. "First you ought to have my heart," and it was safely kept away from any harm. "Now that I have your permission...," he said, before lifting her off the floor and... realizing she'd been heavier than he thought, he simply dealt with it by making noooo comment on the matter. Girls and weight didn't always get along.
Off the go, right into the lane, and almost running. Almost. Because Oleander wasn't the strongest guy, and this was too much effort, Moxley. Until... a mud puddle? "Is that even an obstacle?" Seemed pretty lame for one, all he had to do was run through it. The biggest obstacle was carrying the crystal vase. He decided to lift Dot over his shoulder, it would be easier to see where he'd be stepping into. Not looking forward to getting his shoes dirty, but that was a small price to pay to get the package across, no? "Guess crystal vases can be upside down for a bit." Given her current situation. No promises, remember?
Oh my Merlin. It was an ICE CREAM CONE. Dima nearly died of happiness right there.
Clearly, he had picked the best possible Hufflepuff. Clearly.
Giggling and whispering, "Ice cream cone," right back to Norah, he waited for her to have her fill of bubble pops before sticking his arms down by his sides, pencil-straight. The third year tried to be as patient while she wrapped him up, careful not to move too much for fear of ripping the material. Except... it was tight. How was he ever going to get OUT?
"I'm good! I'd do another ice cream cone with you, but I can't move my hands." Dima gave his fingers a wiggle inside his bubble wrap cocoon, grinning at his partner before turning back to Moxley as she dished out directions. He was gonna be ROLLED? AWESOME.
So. "Which lane d'you want to go to?"
HE ICE CREAM CONED BACK! He DID. Norah BEAMED at Dima and kept circling around him with the bubble wrap as she wondered how on Earth she had managed to go two ENTIRE years without meeting this kindred spirit of hers. 'Cause he WAS one. He ice cream coned back, he really did! That meant all the good things. ALLLL of them. Maybe he liked glitter too! But that'd proooobably just be too good to be true. The third year came to a halt and eyed her handiwork, giggling at the sight of Dima all wrapped up 'cept for his head and feet. "Can ya breathe in there?" IMPORTANT things to make sure of, okay. Ripping off a piece of tape, she closed his bubble burrito up all nice and snug, enjoying a few more POPS before stepping back and eyeing him all over again. Awesomesauce.
Looking down at herself now, Norah inspected her skinny noodle arms and then grinned back at Dima and said, "I don't think I can pick you up, but I can roll you instead!" She narrowed her hazel eyes at him annd bit her lip before coming to a decision, picking up the the bubble wrap once more and making a cone shape out of it. A few moments of squeaky bubble wrap folding and TA DA! A bubble hat. The thirteen year old reached up to place it on Dima's head and beamed at him 'cause he looked COOL in the bubble burrito and hat. Maybe Professor Moxley would let her come back some time and make a bubble sword! "There! Now your noggin is all protected so it doesn't hit the floor when I'm rolling you." SEEEEE, he had good reason to trust her.
She put a hand on the back of his bubbles and gently nudged him in the direction of an empty lane. "Let's go to this one! I'll roll you whenever you're ready." LETS DO THIS THANG.

Not to mention that he was helping her take her mind off of the fight she had with Adi without even being aware of it. Zander was easy to be around. No drama.
When the professor announced what the activity was they were going to be doing, AJ literally jumped up and down and looked at her partner. This was going to be soooo much fun. The professor didn't exactly say there would be winners, but in AJ's mind there was always winners and AJ was a winner. Her game face was activated.
"You can roll me, push me, pick me up, or anything that comes to mind." She was serious, and Zander had full permission to get them to win by any means necessary. "I don't care about getting dirty or any of that other girly stuff." Zander couldn't have picked a better partner. "If a dog or some other creature comes at us you can pick me up and throw me at him, and I will just bubble wrap bump him off course." Or wrestle him down to the ground like a croc. ANY MEANS NECESSARY. And when they won Zander would be getting that fist bump that he missed out on when they became partners. "Ready?" They were losing daylight.
The Gryffindor took maybe two small ones ok steps back. Ahem. AJ was doing that bouncing thing she did when she talked about unicorns. This was the scary AJ. The crazy AJ. Though, uh, crazy scary AJ was really great... But uh, not unicorn AJ. hopefully this activity didn't have an unicorn obstacles because then they'd really never complete it. That would be bad. Very, very bad. And Zander was not prepared to handle that. But ahem. Right.
And now that he had full permission to roll, push, or pick her-- Actually... Pick her up... That wasn't such a bad idea... And... He had definitely gotten a little stronger over the holiday, so you know what AJ? You were going to get a piggy back ride. Because that would definitely be the most efficient way of taking her through the obstacle course. Piggy back. He had never given a piggy back ride to anyone wearing a bubblewrap suit before though... Or given one in general. Wasn't much of the piggy-backer type, y'know? But uh... Desperate times, they called for desperate measures or something like that.
"I've-- I think I've got an idea," and she would definitely like this. If he knew scary, crazy, unicorn AJ at all like the thought he did. Oh yeah, she'd love this. "I'll piggy back you to the other side!" And he was a little less than thrilled about the idea, but tried to be as enthusiastic as possible because scary crazy unicorn AJ bleeds enthusiasm. And it'd hopefully make up for the fact that he couldn't do the fist bump properly. AHem. And with that, the Prefect squatted low so that the third year would be able to hop onto his back. They've got this in the bag. And the sooner they started, sooner they finished, right?

Was there a spell to conjure it? Could he have one of the spare rolls at the end of class? It was super fun to pop, and kept Toby's fidgety hands busy. "Fragile. I am fragile... I am a delicate flower..." Or in THIS case more like a flower vase, if he was being wrapped up like this. Feel the vase. BEEEE THE VASE.
"Those obstacles look, uhh... interesting." Toby blinked at the pair who'd just faced a muddy puddle and looked back to Ruby again, to properly pay attention to the wrapping process. Was he a pretty parcel?
"Noooo you might need those and besides I have enough cute boys at my mercy already."Wink. She wrapped his legs carefully, thigh to foot, one and then the other, and then she moved on to his hips and chest, doing her best to make it so that he could still bend if needed. Probably needed just by looking at that obstacle course right?
She giggled slightly at his mantra but honestly he didn't look one bit breakable did he? All those Quidditch muscles...
"They do, we can handle it. No sweat." Mmm not on her part. He might sweat under all this plastic though. Arms and shoulders next. By the time Ruby was done he was all wrapped up but she made sure not to restrict movement too much. Final touch, she made him a little bubble wrap helmet/hat to wear, and popped it on his head with a flourish.
"There!" And she was ready when he was.

As she made sure the tape was stuck to the bubble wrap she could here a small popping noise. Lifting her head she smirked finding it was coming from her partner popping some of the bubbles near her arm. It was probably easier to move that way.
"Well the Professor didn't say we had to so I'll leave it for now." Hady responded simply. If she had to wrap up Brooklyn's arms and legs she was sure the Professor would tell her to do so. Until then why make her partner anymore uncomfortable then necessary?
The smirk hadn’t been missed, no matter how much it looked as if Brooklyn had been occupied with popping the bubbles near the top of her bubble wrap burrito. It was tempting, so there. It wasn’t as if that little row or two of bubbles was going to mean the difference between getting through the activity safely or not. She could take care of herself, and she also knew Hady wouldn’t intentionally let her get hurt. She trusted her that much, anyway, and besides, like she’d said, they hadn’t been told that her arms and legs needed wrapping. No need to do more than was required, unless it meant earning more points. And she doubted wrapping her arms and legs in bubble wrap would equal more points for Slytherin.
She’d looked up as the professor had spoken, however. So they were racing, sort of. She could do that. Except she hadn’t actually tried to walk as of yet, after being wrapped up. People had started heading for the lanes, though, so she’d abandoned her idle popping to watch as one after the other had seemed to face one obstacle or another. After another moment, she’d glanced at Hady again. “Ready?” With no other warning, she took her first step toward an open lane, glaring down at the floor as the bubble wrap in fact did hinder the movement a little. Not enough to stop her, or even to make her fall over, but she was definitely going to need her postgirl if she was going to get delivered safely.

This was going to a race of sorts. Got it. Hady was ready and prepared to get started and it seemed her parcel was ready as well. Great. It was time to get to the activity at hand.
Watching Brooklyn move towards the racing lanes Hady walked over to her side. If they were side by side Hady would be able to grab hold of Brooklyn if she was to slip or anything. Or Brooklyn could grab onto her. Whichever was needed. It was her job to keep her 'parcel' safe and she intended to do just that. "Yeah ready. I'll stay at your side just in case we come across anything where we need to steady each other." This was said for both of them really. She didn't want Brooklyn to think she thought she'd need help but simple let her know she was there should she need it.
Angel chose a lane and was nice enough to ask for Janelle's opinion. "This one's good", Janelle replied. "So what do you think is the best way to get down the lane fast? Running? Rolling?" Carrying was definitely out of the question for this pair. With a sudden thought, Janelle spoke up.
"You could always roll me. If we run into an obstacle or I get dizzy, I could get up and run until we are past it.". Waddle would be more likely, as Janelle was not sure how fast she could run while wrapped. "I think we'd better decide soon and get started though." Wouldn't want to be left behind.
Angel smiled at her partner. "I think rolling would be the best and if we get into any serious trouble with obstacles, I can always tackle it too the ground until you are safely past." Angel didn't want the first year getting hurt. "If I'm going to fast for you with the rolling you had better tell me to slow down, okay." Angel could sometimes get carried away.
"Okay then when you are ready let me know and I'll help you get yourself lowered to the floor." Angel thought she might as well be helpful and kind to her new friend.

So they agreed that rolling was the best way to go. Good. It was a good thing that Janelle was not one to get dizzy easily, although she did have a limit. Hopefully she'd be able to reach the finish line before that happened, if not she'd just have to run for a while. "Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's a problem and we can just work it out as we go."
Janelle waddled over to the lane Angel had chosen. "I think I can get down okay, but I'm definitely going to need your help getting up.". Since most of her legs were not covered in bubble wrap, Janelle was able to move them fairly well. She decided to kneel first and then lower herself to the ground. The only thing was, she kind of plopped onto the ground in a very un-graceful way. Her landing wasn't how she had picured it, but whatever. She wasn't exactly the graceful type anyway.
Fighting the urge to start roll-popping her bubbles, Janelle took a peek at her partner. "I'm ready when you are Angel. Let's do this."

"Sure thaaang." her voice almost sounded like a soprano in comparison to his. Of course, she wasn't trying to compare; she accepted difference. She *was* different, just as she felt everyone should be. Alright, maybe that was a hypocritical thought because she did at times try that whole 'be cool and fit in thing', but it wasn't often.
And just like that the already awkward presence of her partner had just become as awkward as people and situations could get. She could feel him wrapping her about and wanted to comment every now and then, just not so sure of knowing what to say. At first she wanted to talk about how she'd really been trying to shape her bottom and then she wanted to mention how she felt like a butterfly being wrapped in a cocoon. To either of those she doubted he'd utter a word in return.
"Perfect! Lanes then? You know to carry, roll, push, and hop." she half rephrased a small amount of the instructions.
Okay, he had to just suck it up and get through this...It was OKAY. It wasn't like...clearly...it wouldn't be...the potion's incident. They weren't going to have to take anything. No, just a simple activity, where some physical contact was required. Nothing to be panicking about...
Or, that's what Gabriel was telling himself. In reality, he was on the verge of seizing up and planking right in the middle of the classroom. There would be some embarrassment, sure...but ultimately worth it as he wouldn't have to...go through with anything. The fears were unfounded...but there. So, what could one with anxiety as bad as his do?
"Uh...." Throat clearing. A lot of it. "...what...did you want me to...do?" Did she want him to...push or roll her? Gabe wasn't sold on carrying anyone...or the hopping. So...one of those? Please?

"This is going to be amazing." Angel then started to roll her friend down the course. "I wonder what object we will come across?" Angel was totally on the look out.

They've got this in the bag. And the sooner they started, sooner they finished, right?
When AJ was jumping up and down in her own little world things around her were missed. Like, she didn't even notice that Zander was slowly backing away from her. This was probably a good thing because if she had noticed then she would have bounced closer to him, and in return that probably would have only made him that much more awkward, and awkward people just didn't win post races now did they?
It was as if a light bulb was going off in Zander's head. Oh yes, he was figuring something out up there. He had a game plan. She could totally tell. Or he was rethinking asking her to be partners with him, but he was in too deep now. It was AJ and Zander until the end... of the activity anyways. She gave him a reassuring wink, you know to calm his anxieties because she cared. Most likely her wink just looked creepy though after all the bouncing and bubble wrap excitement, but whatever.
It was an idea. Turns out she was right after all. With her first guess anyways. "Go on." The anticipation was killing her in case that much wasn't obvious. A piggy back ride? EEP. This made the already over the top lion even more excitable. "That's the best idea EVER." Did he know that? If she had a gold star sticker, she'd totally give it to him. Once Zander was close to the ground she hopped on to his back like a trained money and held on. "This is perfect because my arms and legs are still free to maim kick, and punch things out of our way too." She was ready, she was born ready. "Onward." Or go, whatever floated his boat.
"Noooo you might need those and besides I have enough cute boys at my mercy already."Wink. She wrapped his legs carefully, thigh to foot, one and then the other, and then she moved on to his hips and chest, doing her best to make it so that he could still bend if needed.

"There!" And she was ready when he was.
Toby grinned at that, because 1. she was implying that he was a cute boy and that was always a nice thing to hear, and 2. it was just kinda funny, the boys being at her mercy thing... and not very hard to believe.
"I don't suppose any of them're wrapped up in this stuff?" he replied, watching her go to town on his midsection, and already started to realise just how warm you could get inside a veritable coccoon of bubble wrap. Ruby worked quickly enough, and before long Toby was stood there with what he liked to think of as a CROWN of the stuff on his head, but helmet worked too. "Nice!" Toby gave a little wiggle where he stood to check his range of movement, and then started to walk!shuffle towards a free lane, with some squeaking from all the plastic. Eek, eek, eeek.
"Right, lets get this show on the road," the Hufflepuff said, giving a little bounce of enthusiasm and finding it to be QUITE a strange experience in this choice of clothing. Up ahead, in the lane he'd chosen, Toby could already see what looked like an ice patch, or was it a puddle? They'd surely find out.
Okay, he had to just suck it up and get through this...It was OKAY. It wasn't like...clearly...it wouldn't be...the potion's incident. They weren't going to have to take anything. No, just a simple activity, where some physical contact was required. Nothing to be panicking about...

He was really beginning to become quite the mystery with the way he kept quiet and spoke, when he actually did speak. Rubes would questions about this, cause without shame she'd admit, she *was* very curious to this all.
"Basically you just have to deliver me, I think? Anyway you want?" she raised her brow at him.
Now to get to those lanes. How, exactly?
Plonk!
Hopping it was, because Mr. Quiet over here would be the last person in Abbi's mind to be all touchy, touchy.
"Now I don't rate we do the rolling thing, cause like she said we should be on our toes because unexpected experiences and bla bla, hints over there. I can hop and then you just keep an eye out for things?" 'AND CARRY if something is coming to do something.'
AHEM.
No arms over here to be hella boss , in front of anything like that.
Oh well, at least she'd gotten herself to the line of lane three.

Puddle of mud... it reminded him of a rock band except their name had two 'D's at the end of mud. Not so strangely, the thought of music cheered him even more. And he was glad. If he kept this up, he wouldn't be sinking into hurt and depression again.
Popped bubble aside, they were good to go and both he and the bubble-wrapped Adi were slowly making their way. Benny didn't have to do much besides move with his friend given the Hufflepuff was in a position currently to still move at his own pace.
Waddling penguin.
Yeah, Adi moving on his feet wasn't moving all that fast since his legs weren't totally free to move normally. He saw the mud as well, which thankfully was well out of reach of them. No telling how that would make the traveling go or not go. "How about rolling?" Benny questioned, mostly thinking to himself but also for his friend to understand where his thoughts were going at any moment of time.
Deciding to take the chance, the Gryffindor helped ease his parcel down onto the ground on his back. "Keep you head straight..." he instructed before tentatively trying to roll his friend along. Benny had gotten just one and a half rotations before barking was heard behind him and he was alerted to an obstacle that they weren't clear of. "Hold on..." he warned as he tried to pick up the pace of rolling Adi with the slippery plastic along the spelled floor.

Meredith couldn't help but giggle as the kids got started maneuvering down the different lanes. Was it somewhat evil to be enjoying the reactions to various mud puddles, ice patches, and grumpy pups she was causing to pop up at random? Maybe a little. Still, being a professor rocked.
Checking her watch, the brunette furrowed her brow and made sure that those who were going a bit bubble-wrap happy were finishing up. They didn't have too much time left in the lesson. That's what happened when you got carried away with discussion but it was worth it if the kids were going to learn something new.
"Those of you who haven't started down their lane, let's get going! Postal workers have schedules to keep and you lot have other classes to get to soon!" She grinned and shooed them along, happy at least that they were enjoying themselves. Well, mostly. That Banner kid looked like he might faint but maybe a little female contact would be good for him. If you could get along with a Gryffindor female, you were pretty much set. RAWR.

Waddling penguin.
Yeah, Adi moving on his feet wasn't moving all that fast since his legs weren't totally free to move normally. He saw the mud as well, which thankfully was well out of reach of them. No telling how that would make the traveling go or not go. "How about rolling?" Benny questioned, mostly thinking to himself but also for his friend to understand where his thoughts were going at any moment of time.
Deciding to take the chance, the Gryffindor helped ease his parcel down onto the ground on his back. "Keep you head straight..." he instructed before tentatively trying to roll his friend along. Benny had gotten just one and a half rotations before barking was heard behind him and he was alerted to an obstacle that they weren't clear of. "Hold on..." he warned as he tried to pick up the pace of rolling Adi with the slippery plastic along the spelled floor.
One obstacle down! Or was it still considered an obstacle even though it wasn't in their way? Shrug. They were moving along smoothly so that didn't bother him.
Roll? "Do what you have to do,'' the Puffer said with another grin. "Carry, roll, push, anything will work. Besides, wouldn't rolling and carrying be better? Need I remind you of your Beater arms?'' Hehe.
Annnnd he was on the ground. "Let's get this show on the road!'' Suddenly he was going around and around. "This is AWESOMEEEE!" Then... "Is that a bark I hear, Benny? My hearing's kind of wonky right now.'' But this rolling though! Adi hardly felt anything but he could hear the wrap popping endlessly as he went along.

So Adi was an oh so willing participant and having quite a bit of fun being the parcel. Benny was too, even if he was trying his best to not harm his best friend or get himself tripped up in the process. Nothing would go very fast if he suddenly toppled head over feet over the Hufflepuff as he tried to push the slippery surface along and he had already had to catch himself at least twice.
"It does seem that way," he half agreed on the rolling deal. Well besides the need to catch himself. The Gryffindor couldn't help chuckling at and with his friend. "Uh huh...we have a dog," Benny added, confirming their first obstacle. One that he could hear and feel behind him but nothing was coming from directly to cause any trouble like the professor had mentioned.
They were gaining and getting away from the dog as Benny continued to roll Adi. But suddenly they had mud and the Gryffindor hadn't had enough time or space to maneuver the rolling Adi away from it. They just went right through it.

Double oops.
Round and round and round. Adi squeezed his eyes shut. He didn't like looking at the things they passed as he was being rolled. It made his eyes feel funny. "The wheels on the bus go round and round,'' he sang. Hehe.
A doggie? "Can we stop and give it a pet?'' he asked. All this rolling seemed to be addling his brain. "Is it chasing us or is it going to help us?"
But it would be safe to assume that they were being chased because the Puffer suddenly felt the rolling pick up speed. Wheee!
Adi opened his eyes for a moment... just in time to see something of a dark colour below him. Ahhh! Mud! Cool! But they were going through it! Not so cool anymore.
Some of the substance splashed onto his face... and his HAIR He could feel it landing on there. "BENNY! THERE'S MUD IN MY HAIR!" Cue the panicky Hufflepuff.

"Okay if you sure." Angel watched as Janelle got down onto the floor and she went over to her. "I'll start slowly to begin with, don't want to go too fast to quick." Angel gigged. "This is going to be amazing." Angel then started to roll her friend down the course. "I wonder what object we will come across?" Angel was totally on the look out.
Janelle was on the ground, cushioned by several layers of bubble wrap and ready to go. "OK, that sounds good", she agreed. Starting slowly would give her the chance to get a feel for rolling. Then they could pick up speed.
"I know, right. This will be amazing." Before she knew it, Janelle was rolling. Over and over she went, trying not to think about the fact that she was spinning. Who would have thought that all of the spinning around she'd done when she was younger would pay off? So far, so good. She wasn't dizzy yet. Then Angel started to roll her faster and faster. Janelle closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to focus on the world spinning by.
All of a sudden, Janelle was not rolling anymore. Now she was sliding and the change made her feel a bit out of control. Was this one of the obstacles the professor had planned for them? Her eyes flew open and she yelled, "Angel, what's happening. Are you OK?"

"I don't suppose any of them're wrapped up in this stuff?" he replied, watching her go to town on his midsection, and already started to realise just how warm you could get inside a veritable coccoon of bubble wrap. Ruby worked quickly enough, and before long Toby was stood there with what he liked to think of as a CROWN of the stuff on his head, but helmet worked too. "Nice!" Toby gave a little wiggle where he stood to check his range of movement, and then started to walk!shuffle towards a free lane, with some squeaking from all the plastic. Eek, eek, eeek.
"Right, lets get this show on the road," the Hufflepuff said, giving a little bounce of enthusiasm and finding it to be QUITE a strange experience in this choice of clothing. Up ahead, in the lane he'd chosen, Toby could already see what looked like an ice patch, or was it a puddle? They'd surely find out.
"I usually don't go in for adding layers, Tobes." Patpatpat. She patted his shoulder. And then they were on the move and in front of their lane. She started them down it, looking at the obstacle in front.
"A patch of ice, that isn't so bad. Lets just skate over it, I'll go first and you can hold onto my shoulders." Or her waist or whatever. "Four legs are better for balancing than two or something right?" Running start? Yes! Running start! She grabbed his hand and ran at the ice.

Angel smiled as she started to do the rolling but before long she had accidently tripped over something, she had been so focused on Janelle she didn't see the obstacle. "Stupid thing." Angel kicked out at the obstacle, though she knew it was her own stupid fault, she should have been paying more attention.
Angel felt her foot was hurting even more now, but she could hide that she was more concerned about her new friend. "Am, I okay?" Angel was annoyed with herself. "I'm really sorry... I didn't see the obstacle, it was totally my fault." Angel sighed as she looked at Janelle. "Are you okay?" Angel went back over to Janelle and looked at her, she seemed okay. "We can stop if you want and I'll tell the Professor what happened." Angel felt so annoyed with herself.

Well, they had survived one obstacle. How many more were there in their lane? "I'm totally fine", Janelle replied. "Don't worry about it. I just wasn't sure what happened." Janelle figured she'd better keep her eyes open from now on. Maybe she would be able to see an obstacle coming the next time.
"I'm OK to keep going if you are." Janelle wasn't quite sure that Angel was fine. Something in her voice .......well, it made her worried about her partner. "Looks like being a mail carrier is harder than we thought." Janelle got back into position for rolling. She would let Angel make the call on whether to continue or not.

Adi opened his eyes for a moment... just in time to see something of a dark colour below him. Ahhh! Mud! Cool! But they were going through it! Not so cool anymore.
Some of the substance splashed onto his face... and his HAIR He could feel it landing on there. "BENNY! THERE'S MUD IN MY HAIR!" Cue the panicky Hufflepuff.
Was Adi singing?
Goober.
Even more so when the other boy asked to stop and pet the charmed doggie. "Nah, I dont think he'd like that." Or rather the parcel that was Adi might not like that if the doggie was supposed to do something to a parcel it got ahold of. Not that he though it would be dangerous. Just not something you wanted when you were trying to get going in the other direction.
He let the increased speed answer the question about the dog chasing them, it was obvious enough. Yet he unconsciously winched as the Hufflepuff reacted to the mud. The least of which had managed to splash onto his bestie's head. Cue one near-hysterical fifth year.
Benny stopped them to recover once they were completely free from the mud, inspecting the damage. Adi could be so into his hair. Leaning down he debated what he could do, finally using his own robe sleeve to gingerly wipe away the excess liquid from his bestie's face and locks. "Sorry..." he appologized. About the mud and about not doing more. "Can't help more." Magic, after all, was forbidden in the class and he didn't have anything else to work with.

Shall they move on?
Benny didn't think the dog would like to be patted? O__O Which doggie didn't like that? Oh well. Maybe when they were done and made it to the end of the lane he would find the doggie.
Oh looky. They had stopped. Why had Benny stopped? "Have you changed your mind about patting the dog?" he had barely asked when he became aware that Benny was wiping away the mud. How thoughtful. But he just realised something.
"Thanks. That's much better but I just figured that my hair doesn't matter. AJ isn't around to appreciate it.'' Yeah. He never cared about his hair that much until AJ came into his life. Heh.
"Dragon! We have a race to finish! Let's go! I think I hear that doggie again.'' LOL. "And don't worry about the mud. Next time you can lift me on your shoulders.''

It was as if a light bulb was going off in Zander's head. Oh yes, he was figuring something out up there. He had a game plan. She could totally tell. Or he was rethinking asking her to be partners with him, but he was in too deep now. It was AJ and Zander until the end... of the activity anyways. She gave him a reassuring wink, you know to calm his anxieties because she cared. Most likely her wink just looked creepy though after all the bouncing and bubble wrap excitement, but whatever.
It was an idea. Turns out she was right after all. With her first guess anyways. "Go on." The anticipation was killing her in case that much wasn't obvious. A piggy back ride? EEP. This made the already over the top lion even more excitable. "That's the best idea EVER." Did he know that? If she had a gold star sticker, she'd totally give it to him. Once Zander was close to the ground she hopped on to his back like a trained money and held on. "This is perfect because my arms and legs are still free to maim kick, and punch things out of our way too." She was ready, she was born ready. "Onward." Or go, whatever floated his boat.
....... Uh. Creepiest wink EVER. But um. He was in too deep now, huh? No turning back... Anyone else without a partner or something because uh help! No, no no okay AJ was nice. She was just a little bit over enthusiastic about things. But she was nice. Yeah. And they'd totally win this race and everything. Hopefully she was as light as she looked because uh, otherwise.... And of course she thought the idea was brilliant. She was AJ. He didn't put it past her. Not at all.
And then she hopped on and OKAY, UH not as light as he was expecting but he could manage. Totally. "That lane's free!" and with that he ran or erm, tried to run, to the empty lane and taddaaaa thus the journey began!! AND WOAH. Was that a huge puddle of water? ERM. "I think I'm just going to walk through this one? No real damage as long as your on my back..." And that was the important part in the activity right? Though... His shoes would be soaked by the end of it. See, AJ picked the right partner after all. He was totally trust worthy. And making his way through a huge puddle of water all for her. Sigh.
