As soon as he realised what she was doing (after she'd kind of skipped ahead), he quickly changed his gait to a kind of skip, run a few steps, SKIP, and rinse and repeat. It was quite fun, as well as an easy way of getting somewhere fast. TOBIAS APPROVED.
He came to a halt beside her and stared up into the sky after glancing back at the castle. The last time he'd seen the castle look like this, all lit up at night and from far away, was his first night there during the sorting. Since then going out after dark was kind of not a good idea so... yeah. It was nice to see it again like this. Buuuuuuuuuuuut on to the stars.
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Tobias agreed as he peeeeeeered up. Was that the Plough/Big Dipper? It looked like it. He held the sextant up to his eye and did the line between the stars and kept going aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand gotcha! "My dad clearly doesn't understand the concept of actually being able to do something. He's such a downer. Must be way boring!" Tobias had no time for downers. ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE and all that.
"I got it too," he grinned, still staring up at the sky through his sextant. It was like a mini telescope except for the fact that it wasn't at all.
Oooh. "I am always up for anything sweet. Yes to ice cream." Especially since Professor Starman had been a giant tease earlier.
Not many people would have skipped with her. This earned him chocolate frog points with her. It seemed most of the Hufflepuff Firsties were earning those. They were so wonderful, she could just tie them up and haul them off to her dorm. Ahem. Of course she wouldn't. Nope. That was reserved for the next creature to walk out of the forest.
She got the sextant out again, repeating the same steps as all the other times and tried working on an angle while she listened.
"I bet! I like thinking I've finally gotten the hang of something, not that I'm getting worse." That made it seem like a waste and that was one thing Lex never tolerated in any form.
"Life's much neater when you find something epic to look forward to!" GRIN.
She'd found her angle. 80. No questioning it. Nope. Just working out.
As she wrote the last stroke, he said something that had her absolutely BEAMING.
"I very much approve of the way you think." This had nothing to do with her being a sugar!Addict. Nooooope. What gave anyone that
accurate idea??? She could stop any time she wanted...but that was no time soon.
"I practically live on sugar, this year the focus has been on ice-cream. It's like heaven in a bowl."
Lex slipped the parchment in her pocket along with her quill. She just remembered something. She was the older kid. Riiiiight.
"Are you okay with the spell we'll be using?" This was the responsible thing to do, yeah?
